To be a superhero!

[myblueskies]

Characters: Romeo and you!
Setting: Everywhere! 20th October and beyond! Specify place and time!
Format: Whatever you wish
Summary: Romeo died again and came back a little bit different. He now is a Superhero for real!
Warnings: If you are a kid you are safe, he will try and protect you. But if you are an adult chance of injury or death I have never had to write a warning like this for a Romeo post ever. Let me know what is okay in the subject line!

Romeo had thought he had had enough candy, but he couldn't actually count very high so he had been guessing... He wasn't too surprised when he died, and though it had been painful it hadn't been as scary as when Kidou had killed him. He was really scared that he would come back as a monster though. But it was alright, apart from the fact the antlers were now real he still looked like Romeo.

It didn't take him long to realise that he was now a real superhero though. He had super strength just like Molly! He could protect so many people like this! And he had to protect all the kids because Ken had died before Romeo had woken up after being killed by Kidou.

So he had to protect them all! Against all the adults because adults were bad and would try and hurt them! There were so many adults in the tower. Romeo would have to make sure none of them hurt any of the kids!

Armed with his superhero knife and his Weasel sidekick he set off to defeat evil and adults!

The danger forest! )-)

[waiting4niinii]

While Romeo was playing superhero, Satoko returned to the forest she found before and explored. Fortunate for her, she didn't had to worry about costumes. So instead, she scouted the forests trying to get herself familiar with her surroundings. She was good at avoiding danger within a forest, had her practice in Hinamizawa for years.

Vines, mosses, sticks, she tried to find anything and work with it. What she was working was another story. Although it was hard with minimum tools. Satoko sighed.

Why you do this?!

[myblueskies]

The forest was one the places Romeo went to look, because it was a scary bad place and people might be in trouble! Kids might be in trouble!

Sure enough he saw the girl he had taken to the safe forest there again! "Hey! I told you this place was bad!"

You shouldn't complain Mr Superhero )_)

[waiting4niinii]

Of course the young boy found her in the scene of the crime, well sort of. Satoko had her confident look on. In the forest, long as it's her territory, she will be fearless.

"Really? It must of slipped my mind," Satoko lied. "If it's so dangerous why did you come this far?"

[myblueskies]

"I came to check in case there was anyone needing protecting!" And there was it seemed, "Come on you gotta come back, we can go to a nicer floor!"

Third floor, 20th of October. Everything is okay! Break the cutie!~

[tohko_amano]

Tohko wandered into the library, looking for a snack, and started cleaning up a few book piles when she noticed a young man with antlers wandering about. She shrugged it off as someone else dying with their costume on, and went up to him.

"Sir, please make sure not to make any unnecessary messes in the library, alright?"

[myblueskies]

Romeo was searching for any kids that might need help, as well as collecting candy to give them; helping them just like he had been before he had died.

He turned at the words, confused that someone was calling him sir. His eyes narrowed though, an adult!

He clenched his fists as he turned to face her, "I wont let you hurt any of my friends!"

[tohko_amano]

Tohko looked at this guy, surprised. "I wasn't planning on hurting your friends. I was just trying to clean up here. I'm just telling you that making more messes would be a problem."

[myblueskies]

Romeo shook his head, she was an adult and so was a threat, she must be lying like a bad person. "You better leave them alone, or I will get you!"

Let's say the 23rd, floor 32?

[pengeeen]

[By now, killing was just something Kidou was used to. It was the law of the jungle, after all. The strong defeat the weak. And what's stronger than someone who's already dead? You simply can't win in a fight against something you can't kill. And the fact that no one can win against him is what makes him so calm when he goes out hunting.

Speaking of which, it's around 6 at night, and he's in the safe forest, looking for any suckers who happened to be searching for candy or whatever. And that's when he sees Romeo. Romeo... he was an easy target, this shouldn't be hard at all.

He uses the trees as his pathway and once he's above Romeo, he jumps down and lands a few feet away, with a smirk on his face.]

Hello Romeo, it's a pleasure to see you again. [My, you look quite delicious today little moose.]

[myblueskies]

[Romeo was also searching for anyone collecting candy, any kids anyways. He had to protect them! There were so many adults here who could hurt them!

And one of those adults had just jumped down infront of him. Kidou! The one who had killed him!] Kidou! I wont let you hurt anyone!

[pengeeen]

Hoh? [His tone is amused as he takes a small step forward, with his arms behind his back almost innocently.]

You said that before, did you not? And what happened? [He runs his tongue over his fangs as if to remind Romeo of their last encounter.]

[myblueskies]

[He is sad to hear that, because he had failed after he promised but...] That was before I was strong! I can stop you hurting anymore kids now! [And then he charged, head ducked so his antlers were pointed towards Kidou.]

Floor 25, Day 21

[silentsacrifice]

Itachi had been wandering around in the meadow for quite a while. The peaceful setting and aesthetically pleasing sights really should have put his mind at ease, but he found himself even more on-edge as time pressed on. Perhaps it was the lingering worry that there was something bad lurking on the floor that no one had seen yet, or the frustration of standing in an open field that didn't lead to freedom, but more than that, he was worried about the Tower's current "game."

As he was not in costume himself, he'd been trying his best to covertly help the closest person he had to a friend in this place. Every now and again, as he walked past Romeo in the halls, he would let a few pieces of candy fall from his hand and into Romeo's bucket. But time pressed on, and he soon found it harder and harder to locate any pieces of candy. Even the monsters he tore apart stopped dropping them.

Itachi's thoughts were interrupted when he sensed the presence of another person in the meadow, and turned to see the very person he'd been trying to help. Something seemed... off about him, but from this distance, Itachi couldn't make out what that might be.

"Romeo," he greeted, but his expression was guarded, cautious.

[myblueskies]

Romeo was torn because part of him knew that Itachi was trying to be a good person but... He was still an adult. Still bad.

He walked out of the shadows, Itachi would see right away the most obvious difference; which was that Romeo now had antlers growing out of his head.

"Mister Itachi." His eyes narrowed as he looked at him.

[silentsacrifice]

Itachi turned around to face Romeo more fully. The tone of his voice caught him off-guard, so it took him another moment to realize that Romeo's antlers were no longer a costume prop. He felt a sinking in his chest at the realization that Romeo must have died despite his best efforts, but those feelings didn't show on his face.

"You died."

He said it without a hint of doubt. He'd seen residents of the tower collapse under the pressure of their tightening costumes only to return the next day as an abominable form of whatever they were dressed as, but Romeo didn't look noticeably gruesome, save for the antlers. He wondered what other, subtler sorts of changes had happened, if any at all.

After a pause, he went on, "Are you all right?" It was a stoic tone, almost impassive, but he did want to know.

[myblueskies]

"Yes, I did." He walked closer to Itachi and nodded with a smile, "I'm good sir! I'm a superhero, I'm making sure the adults don't hurt any of the kids!"

Another pause because Itachi was an adult, that meant he was bad too...

Oct. 21, floor 38

[warriorscribe]

It isn't immediately below the dorms anymore. That's what Enoch was thinking when he went to the upper lounge floor. That it wasn't quite as quick to get to anymore so he'd encounter less of the things that made him inexplicably angry, that made him want to kill. It was so hard to fight that anger now...

Romeo might catch sight of something glowing behind a couch...

[myblueskies]

The glowing was enough for Romeo to go and investigate. When he saw the glowing figure he brought his hand up to his eyes. "An angel?"

Wait were angel adults good because they were angels or bad because they were adults?

[warriorscribe]

Enoch looked up at the shift in shadows in his peripheral vision. He didn't notice Romeo's antlers weren't fake on first glance, thinking this must be someone in a costume who hadn't died yet.

"I suppose the tower wants me to be its twisted idea of one." But that was beside the point. This was a child, obviously in costume. And the most reliable way to find candy was to hunt for monsters as one searched...it didn't look like he could fight. "Do you need help fighting monsters for more candy?"

[bittydragon]

Yamato was beginning to feel the pressure of the Game, as it was. Monsters no longer dropped candy, and by now he had learned that the only way to survive was to steal it from the others. This left him a bit bothered.

Not about the morality of the entire thing, no, but because he was at a clear disadvantage. How could he steal candy with such weak strength? He couldn't.

So here, have Yamato, crouching in a dark corner of the hallway to try and seem as unthreatening as possible. He was really trying to guard what candy he had thus far while thinking of a plan. If worst came to worst he could simply get Alcor to steal the candy for him but...

That was lame...

[myblueskies]

Don't worry Yamato, you have friends to help you. Superstrong friends like Romeo who is running over to your little corner with blood on the antlers that now grew out of his head and a handful of candy.

He had been looking for anyone else in their group, he knew Ken had died, he worried about the others and so had been trying to help. Both by collecting candy for them and getting rid of adults who would try and hurt them.

"Yamato! Good you're still alive! I got you some candy!"

[bittydragon]

Yamato shrank back into his corner when he spotted a blood splattered Romeo come charging up towards him. He had noticed that those who died due to their costume - from what he gathered - crushing them to death, they became strange monsters that preyed on everyone else.

Haha...it'd be morbidly funny if he got killed by Romeo of all people. He seemed like such a-

"A-Ah?"

Yamato actually made a noise of pure confusion, staring at the fistful of candy held out towards him. He glanced from the candy to Romeo warily, and simply pulled his hands closer to himself. It might be a trick...

Floor Forty

[sixthsense]

Mio had been largely successful in avoiding the tower's other residents, the changes to her body nearly unbearable. She couldn't even touch the camera that had been her sole source of comfort and even if she could it would only register her presence as what it was--dead. A ghost. A remaining.

She passed amongst the boxes without much interest or fear of the dubiously stacked boxes now. A place like this was as good as a hiding place as any. She really didn't want anyone to see her in this state, turned into her worst fear and with all the insatiable malice that came with it. Still, the trail of bloody footprints that had marked her journey through the tower and now through the storage center made it impossible to truly mask her presence.

:D and Romeo here has 2 little brothers (twins)

[myblueskies]

Romeo was following the footprints. Wondering what they were and if it was someone who needed help! He walked through the boxes looking behind them all. "Hello? Is anyone there? Do you need help?"

oh man this is going to be horrible

[sixthsense]

Mio peered out from behind a stack of boxes and before she knew it, she was stepping out from behind it as well. She'd never met this boy before, but somehow, she knew it. He was just like her. He had siblings that he cared for, that he was separated from. Even more than that, she was horrified to find herself wondering how it would feel to wrap her hands around his neck.

"N-no! You shouldn't be here." She said hastily, an unusual amount of force and perhaps even desperation in her voice. She looked around for something else to focus on, using all of her willpower to think of something other than how wanted to move closer to him, and then-- "This place is dangerous."
