02 ◈ furuderika bernkastel

Characters: Rika Furude & You!
Setting: Around the tower-- 15 & 17-20th
Format: I will match you!
Summary: Rika struggles to collect candies and ultimately dies. Then comes back as mini'Bernkastel to be a sadistic meanie.
Warnings: Bernkastel-ness... Violence, cruelty, and a sick sense of fun


15th : Around the Tower / Ending on Floor 22
Rika had been forced to wear many humiliating costumes in her lifetimes. Maids, kitty girls, just her swimsuit... but none were as awful as this. Dressed as Bernkastel, the witch she did not like being associated with, was among the worst of the fates she could have endured. It was annoying enough to have to collect various candies in order to stay alive without the burden of the costume.

The fifteenth started a harder routine for candy hunting. Rika was not a girl with the physical strength or abilities required to fight monsters, which left her competing for what else remained. Her status as a newbie made many parts of the tower unfamiliar to her and she was more out of her comfort zone than ever. As her fruitless search brought her to the twenty-second floor's art gallery, Rika decided she had had enough for the time being. She let her eyes wander to the paintings, drinking in their details rather than scouring the gallery for candy.

17 - 20th : Around the Tower / Floor Thirty-Eight
(( ! Please specify a date! Rika will be becoming increasingly sadistic as the days go by. She will only verbally taunt on the 17th, but will become increasingly cruel and violent as days go by. ! ))
On the 15th of October, Furude Rika died.
She'd expected it. She wasn't cut out for competition as Furude Rika. Her human body was aged, but it was weak. Easily killed. Not built to fight. Just to die.
But now things were different.
When Rika woke up she saw no reason to go on pretending. There was no reason to hide her true nature behind the mask of the girl called "Furude Rika". The sparkle in her eyes had dimmed and faded. She had a single cat's tail and an elegant dress, more detailed and exact than the replica of her previous costume. And it was no longer a costume. She was not "dressing up" as Bernkastel. She was Bernkastel.

And she is behaving appropriately. If you don't find her on the thirty-eighth floor, watching people pass by with a blank expression, then you may find her collecting candy. Sure, she doesn't need any of it herself... but that doesn't mean she won't benefit from collecting it. The sooner and more obvious the shortage is, the more interesting the struggle to survive will become. And despite her dislike of such things as Furude Rika, Bernkastel has no problem with it. Truth be told, she is actually looking forward to seeing more people suffocate in their costumes.

[Finding candy was getting more and more difficult. And tedious, too. Of course, she didn't know how to fight all that well, but she managed to have other people help her. She didn't want to die.

Not yet. But she does notice Rika finding some candy and yells out at her.]


... Hey!

Rika, right?

[Thankfully, they've met before. Once. And thankfully, Maya has a knack for names. But she'll smile innocently, clasping her hands together. She was obviously gathering candy, too, but was not all that great at it. In fact, she was a little (no, make that a lot under the quota.]

You're collecting candy too?

[ .. It's Bernkastel, but something is.. different, isn't it? Enough to pull Evatrice's attention in the middle of stepping on a bunch of candies, making her rise her eyebrows. ]

Wha-t? Did something happen to you..? [ Not that she seems particularly concerned, she's looking more for schadenfreude than anything else.. ]
blackwitch: (let it be; let it be; let it be)

[personal profile] blackwitch 2012-10-21 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course they do! [ She cackles, completely forgetting her issue with the girl for a moment. ]

Everyone's trying so hard to collect them, riiight..? In that case there's nothing better than ruining those hopes and dreams by crushing them right under my feet, kyahahaha!

20th....

Lucky for Satoko, she dodged this humiliation. She has had her share in the past as well with different dresses. When Satoko saw Rika, there was a puzzled expression painted on her. Satoko has met Bern before so it had to take her a moment to recognize Rika. She rushed over to Rika.

"Rika, you have to wear that too?"

No, I haven't...

Satoko shaken her head. "Naw, they would have to do a better job to get me to wear something like those," Satoko smiled. She looked at the candy Rika unwrapped, "where did you get that?"
wittlich: (wary.)

18th, floor 38!

[Bern was slinking around in her own getup, and when she happened to spot her little facetwin, she paused in her pursuit of shiny things.]

...Rika?
wittlich: (rage.)

[personal profile] wittlich 2012-10-29 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
If I have failed, then so have you.

[A catlike growl rises up in her throat, but she manages to suppress it before it comes out as a full-bodied hiss.]

You did not go by that name here, last I checked.
wittlich: (rage.)

[personal profile] wittlich 2012-10-29 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not like you. There's...something wrong. Something...wrong.

[Her clawed hands tremble...what was wrong? What was up with Rika? Why was she herself feeling so...volatile, so unstable?

Nggnh, it just made her so mad.

Hmm.. Soon enough they'll start to fight among themselves, right..? Can't you wait to see the looks on their faces?! They'll try to desperately find candy, but it won't be anywhere..! And then they'll turn to each other, saying 'you took my candy', and then there'll be fights all over!

Kyhahaha, it's the best show..!

Of course not...

Satoko caught it in mid-air. She had no suspicion at all from her best friend, why would she considered the thought of it now? Satoko happily accepted it as she began to unwrap the candy and pushed it in her mouth. As she enjoyed the flavor, Satoko looked up, "they probably don't enjoy my company." When Rika mentioned the game, that perked Satoko's curiosity, "what kind of game?"
