A Little Dash of Pink in Your Tower

[nomassacreshere]

Characters: Euphemia and open!
Time: October 20, evening
Setting: Room 2-07 and beyond
Format: I'll match you.
Summary: Euphie arrives at the Tower... in the middle of death and madness. First impressions are awesome, aren't they?
Warnings: None at the moment.

[It had all been for nothing, if the note left at her bed side was to be believed.]

[Euphemia really didn't want to believe it; she didn't want to believe that she had taken on the responsibility she had, led a fight against her father to save Nunnally and the world, only to have it all taken away in the end. Yet still the words on the note stared up at her, unchanging, until she finally crushed it in her hands, fighting against the urge to start shaking. She could not give in to despair and cry anymore, not ever or at least... not right now. She took an oath to her country and her people, and she was going to uphold that even if everything was gone, and only carry herself with the respect that those lost deserved.]

[That is what an Empress of Britannia did, after all.]

[A few minutes later had her walking out of the room she had been assigned in her civilian clothes, thankfully left for her in the trunk at the foot of her bed. If she was stuck in this place, she was going to find out as much as she could first, and hopefully she would find answers as to why she was really present at this unsettling place.]

[So, if you're walking through the dorm level, you might get stopped by a pretty pink haired girl, with a bearing that could only be described as royal.]

Excuse me, could you be so kind as to assist me?

Comments

[doublechecks]

[The hatted stranger stopped dead in his tracks upon hearing a very familiar voice asking for his assistance; and the male was pretty sure that was not his sister; who he had been looking after these few days.

...

Clearing his throat, the stranger fixed his hat and turned around with a smile; bangs and hair hidden under that ridiculous top hat.

Before he started speaking in a tone not befitting of the face's owner.]

Well of course~ Is there anything I can help you with?

[...

Oh.

Godammit. At the very least he was cool enough to preserve his composure in this ridiculous act.]

[nomassacreshere]

[Euphemia frowned as she took in the unusual human being before her, tilting her head curiously, almost like she was trying to peer past his hat. He seemed... familiar, sounded familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on as to why...]

I have just arrived here. I would appreciate any information you could provide on the situation here.

[doublechecks]

There's a lot going on in this merry, deadly, bloody place, so much that I don't even know where to start~

{suzaku where the fuck are you when he needs you.]

[titties]

Sure thing! A gentleman wouldn't let a woman wander around here on her own, right? Ihihihi! [ his voice is pretty playful ]

[nomassacreshere]

[Euphie blinked at that, not sure how to take it at first, before smiling gently.]

I appreciate it, but I would rather information at the moment.

[titties]

Information, huh? Sure, I'm your guy for that. Are you new here?

Room 2-07

[lonemajin]

[ Say hello to one of your roommates, strange new pink-haired girl. First impressions are definitely awesome and...for some reason, Etna's was "DISLIKE" despite not having actually interacted yet. This may have been for several reasons, including but not limited to: taking up space (she liked the additional room with one roommate missing); having pink hair (those ones were pretty often the bubbly, airheaded type, after all, and Etna was far from above making assumptions); and...something else she would not allow to be mentioned here.

Etna was in the room--whether during the girl's immediate arrival or at a later point--and she graciously began ]

--Uh, excuse me?

[nomassacreshere]

[She jumped in surprise, not realizing that she wasn't alone in the room. A moment passed before she turned herself toward her, folding her hands on her lap.]

Yes?

[lonemajin]

So, you're like...staying here? This is your room?

[ GROUND RULES are going to need to be set. ]

[forfeiture]

[ There's need to be careful in the tower these days - it's like things are somehow getting.. much more dangerous than usually, Eva is aware enough of the things around her to understand that. But that's exactly why she gets a little worried when she spots a girl out alone in the hallway, so helping is only the most natural thing she could do here, right? Especially since this girl doesn't seem dangerous.. ]

Hm? Of course I'll help you, what is it? [ And at least Eva is good at leaving a reassuring impression. ]

[nomassacreshere]

[Dangerous? No, definitely not; not unless she was in the political arena and needed to put her foot down. Then watch out.]

I have only just arrived here. Some information as to the nature of this Tower would be helpful.

[forfeiture]

A new person, is it..? [ She can understand that, she was pretty confused too when she first arrived.. but she can't help but glance around to at least make sure nothing dangerous is near - it seems the coast is clear for now, at least. ]

Don't worry, I won't mind helping you. I haven't been here for too terribly long myself, but as long as you don't mind that..

[ainohenshin]

[ Kuwabara was stopped briefly out of nowhere, not quite sure how he was going to take this. Don't mind the costume, it was something that the tower had graciously gifted him with. He was highly uncomfortable with it as he turned to look at her. It might almost seemed childish with his strange outfit, which was mostly leather and strange armour like plates. ]

Whaddya need help with?

[ He mused. Girls didn't usually approach him, but it seemed like it was happening quite frequently in the tower. ]

Are ya looking for someone or are ya lost? Either way, let Kuwabara Kazuma help ya out.

[ He grinned. ]

[nomassacreshere]

[Euphie paused at that; yes, seeing what allies -- or enemies for that matter -- also arrived here would be helpful.]

I would really like to know if others from my world have survived, yes. Are you perhaps familiar with a man named Suzaku?

[ainohenshin]

[ He wasn't trying to ask her personal questions, but it seemed like it was the best thing to do; asking her if she was looking for someone. It would be better if she had a friend or an ally to look after him. ]

I don't really believe that 'Your world's been destroyed,' crap. Their idea of a sanctuary is pretty lame. There's lots of people here who don't believe in that crap either. You shouldn't be too worried about it.

Suzaku?

[ Don't mind him since he's thinking of a completely different Suzaku. Was this chick related to that Suzaku guy from Maze Castle? Could she be an enemy and a demon. ]

'm pretty sure the last time I saw a guy named Suzaku, Urameshi kicked his sorry ass, but I ain't sure if you're talking about the same Suzaku here. Is that man a demon or something, with an annoying talking bird?

[tempus_scorpius]

... [The Mock Turtle (He is wearing shorts!) stops for a moment when he's addressed and he just watches her in slight surprise for a bit.

Aren't you the Massacre Princess Princess Euphemia? Dammit, another sister of Lelouch's. But at least Suzaku- No, why does he even care about what Suzaku would think? It's not like they've become sort of friends...]

You just got here?

[nomassacreshere]

[She, of course, does not recognize him. Though if he ever introduced himself...]

Yes. I do not entirely understand what could have happened that made my arrival here necessary, however.

[tempus_scorpius]

I don't think anyone does...

/braces self

[swordofzero]

Suzaku the Cheshire Cat was currently avoiding everyone. Watching Nunnally from the shadows, to make sure she was safe. Not going near her because... He had betrayed her. He had promised to look after her and yet she had died because of him. He was avoiding Lelouch as well, and pretty much everyone else.

And so he was alone when he heard a farmilliar... far to familliar voice and turned to see a pink haired girl he had not been expecting to ever see again.

Maybe he should have expected it... After all Lelouch was here and remembered dying... So was Rolo...

But... "Euphie..." His voice broke, this... she couldn't be here... Not Euphemia...

Sob, this will be hideous...

[nomassacreshere]

Euphemia paused, a look of surprise mixed with happiness on her face. Suzaku was here; her knight was here...!

...and he was dressed in a cat suit?

Confusion won out over her surprise, but it was clear she was still very much happy to see him.

"Suzaku, I am so glad to see you have survived as well, but..." she began, looking his costume up and down.

Sorry Euphie, your knight is unavailable, please leave a message...

[swordofzero]

Survived... as well... Suzaku is staring... He didn't even notice her confusion at the costume because he was slowly shaking his head.

This couldn't be... Euphie couldn't be in this horrible place... After everything that had happened...

"Euphie..."

[rainscented]

[ Rat pauses, still decked out in mouse halloween costume, and looks the woman who's just addressed him over. Her behaviour and language are almost theatrical, and he knows how to respond to that. He flows into a graceful bow with surprisingly little hesitation. ]

Certainly. How may this lowly rat assist your Majesty? [ the sarcasm is lost somewhere in his fluffy hood and it all sounds a bit too sincere. ]

[nomassacreshere]

[Euphie tilted her head in confusion for a moment. Oh dear... she gave her status away, hm? She was hoping dressing in civilian clothes wouldn't make it too obvious, but apparently it was hard to disguise her lineage.]

Please do not refer to yourself in such a manner. I meant you no disrespect.

hi how would you like crazy doctors as a greeting

[morituramfides]

[She looked rather royal, but Jin looked an absolute mess; he had on simple lab attire, but it was a complete mess with the thick black scars that were oozing blood and puss staining his clothes and his skin. His glasses were cracked in one corner, and an odd smirk was on his face even though it looked like he was in a good amount of pain given the stitches.]

Euphemia? Ain't that a sight to see.

[Oh and he kind of has memories of you from when he was Suzaku for a week whoops--]

Oh this is going to be hideous.

[nomassacreshere]

[Euphemia almost jumped back when the young man turned around, revealing all... that. Somehow she managed to keep herself from doing so, though she could not keep back the gasp. It took a moment for her to collect herself, and she was about to ask if he was already, when... he referred to her by name?]

Have we met?

[...she was pretty sure she would remember someone that looked like that.]
