OO2 >> WHY DO I HAVE NO "SCREaMING IN AUGIsHED HORROR" ICONS

Characters: Hidetoshi, a bloodthirsty wolf, various monsters, and [community profile] towerofanimus .
Setting: Room 03-02, the dorms, and various tower floors. People are allowed to find his dead body and loot his corpse for candies if they want to.
Format: I'll roll with either, but expect action tags if he attacks your character.
Summary: "DID HIDETOSHI JUST FAIL TO MEET THE CANDY-COLLECTING QUOTA FOR THE DAY? I THINK HE JUST FUCKING DID. Also, did someone just order maximum mental trauma for the baby's first death."
Warnings: Death, freaking out and descriptions of a very violent fear of death, body horror, mentions of gore and missing body parts. In other words, the Animus Trauma Halloween Special, tailored for extra suffering.


[ SCENARIO A: THE 27th || DORMITORY LEVELS: HALLWAYS ]

[ Hidetoshi had managed somehow scrape by to fulfill the candy quota, and gather the needed number of sweets before the time limit ran out for several days now. But his luck couldn't hold out forever; the high school student had been avoiding the Terminals since his first attempt to access the network ended up with him witnessing that messy little execution of those two poor kids (just kids, kids, for cryin' out loud, you don't kill kids or anybody really, like that) and him disconnecting in a horrified, disgusted rush and getting as far away as he could from the Terminals.

What had began as a tedious waste of time, had devolved into a frantic search to prevent his costume from inevitably crushing the person who now wore it. He'd seen what happens to whose who failed to meet the quota and Hidetoshi had no desire to share in their fate. He tried, he truly did, patiently combing floor after floor for pieces of candy: but his efforts were all for naught and the idealistic teenager would promptly murdered himself before stooping so low as to attempt mugging someone for their stash.



As the hours wore on, it became more steadily difficult to suck in oxygen, his ribs ached when he breathed out, and his head spun dangerously from oxygen deprivation. In desperation, he goes to look for one of the Minatos or at least return to his room. (He doesn't make it.) It's in one of the cold, clinical hallways when his legs crumpled from under him, and Hidetoshi slumps up against the wall, shaking in silent panic and pain, but his face remaining stubbornly expressionless. The teenager won't admit to himself but he's ran out of time. There's isn't any time to reach anybody else for help.

And for the first time in his life, he knew the most instinctive, primal fear of all; the incredibly, suffocating terror of death. The kind of fear that was cold and dark and made cold sweat break out on your forehead for the sickening intensity of it. The voice in the back of your mind chanting, no, no, please, anything, anybody but that, I don't want that, I'm scared of that, please, I don't want. to. die.

Handa clenched helplessly, bitting white crescent-moons into the palms. A shuddering gasp escaped from him, choking and gagging softly as he tried and failed to heave deep breaths. Hidetoshi was dimly aware of his body failing him, his costume's constricting embrace slowly tightening. And tightening. And tightening: his vision had gone black at the edges, and slowly the fear deepened into a bottomless chasm that he drowned soundlessly in, struggling for the air that was being so cruelly denied to him. He whimpered.

No...

No. No. No. Not like this.

Anything but this.



In case anybody was wondering: for all his hacking and whimpering and panicking, Hidetoshi Odagiri does not scream nor cry when he finally gives up the ghost and dies.

[ SCENARIO B: THE 28th-29th || DORMITORY LEVELS: ROOM 03-02 ]

[ A dark grey eye stared up at the ceiling, pupil diluted in horrified confusion. He had awoken and found himself capable of breathing blissful oxygen once more—his lungs expanded, heaving in air, and he groaned before sitting up with a sigh: Hidetoshi remembered dying but it seemed what he had heard other people say about how temporary death is in this Tower, were true. He looked up and what the FUCK was that mangy-looking wolf DOING in his ROOM? He managed to not scream only because weirdly enough, Hidetoshi didn't think the creature would harm him. And because it was right about then he noticed that being not-dead was not the only alternation that had taken place when he had blacked out—Hidetoshi always been a little on the scrawny side. But never had his bones struck out so noticeably and never had it seemed all of his hair had been torn out and replaced by an old metal helmet, sealed to his skin.

Oh, and the damn spear was back.


He looked malnourished, he looked wrong and ghastly. His skin was purple, and he was all but nude. One of his eyeballs was missing behind this eyepatch, he could tell. Hidetoshi snarled, anger disguising terror. Who had done this to him, and when could he gut them like rotten fish...

The wolf yowled, glistening drool dripping from its grinning, scruffy muzzle.

Hidetoshi all but ran of his room. 
]


[ SCENARIO C: THE 30th-31th || ANYWHERE: TAKE YOUR PICK ]

[ The twisted-looking wolf wouldn't crease following him wherever he went and he couldn't make it go away and leave him alone. However Hidetoshi found after awhile the animal was actually an tolerable companion: it obeyed orders when he gave them and didn't seem interested in attacking anyone. It would be useful until it turned on him or something like that.

It wasn't the wolf that bothered him now; what was perplexing how how he seemed unable to locate anybody else. Save for rabid monsters (Hidetoshi had discovered he could electrocute enemies with the rune-engraved spear by total accident: it involved a moment of uncharacteristic carelessness on his part on the way to the cafeteria when he decided to not take the elevator, and an abomination that had appeared to be a deranged cross between an fire-breathing imp and a gigantic snake) and the costume-warped residents that he was trying to avoid if he could, Hidetoshi couldn't find a single normal person.

When the wolf was, at some point when Hidetoshi wasn't paying attention, loaded up with two baskets of the same candy the high schooler had died to collect, he hadn't reacted... very... well. After the immediate irrational response of trying to rip the metal baskets off of his over-sized canine and dump them on the floor only to discover the sweets just respawned back onto the wolf's back, he'd gone grouchily back to hunting down monsters and slaughtering them whenever he could.

And of course, by now, this event had flayed his nerves threadbare. He was angry, he was worn thin at the edges, and he had just discovered he could kill things with electricity: clearly the answer to his dilemma was to wander into the places where he had not dared to go when he had only knives and a mediocre level of training to defend himself. Hidetoshi doesn't even recognize the urge to hunt down "Shadows" for what it truly is...

If you desire to take his stash of candy for yourself so you wouldn't die in a painful fashion, you'll have to fight him tooth-and-nail for it.

Lancer is the worst influence

Hell, spread the news! We can get the entire tower to do the same thing! Wouldn't that just make the assholes up top rage?
puppy_lancer: from <user name=hound-of-ulster> (The pipes are calling)

He got Hidetoshi to go from class president to rule breaker within 3 tags or so

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2012-11-10 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't it? Though...we'd have to figure out what you did first. What's your recent schedule been like?
puppy_lancer: from <user name=hound-of-ulster> (The pipes are calling)

now I'm thinking of him dressed as Kayako

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2012-11-10 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
That's...strange. Usually they don't wait to send you monsters. And you didn't request for Jason to be punched either. Did you damage any floors looking for candy?
puppy_lancer: from <user name=hound-of-ulster> (The pipes are calling)

I think this has destroyed the ability of all tower residents to enjoy costumes

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2012-11-10 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh...so that might be considered a violation of the rules. Don't think it can apply for anything except this "experiment", though.

You see, one of the administrators here, Jason, is a really huge dickhead. Even more so than the other people. So, it's become something of a movement here to ask the other administrators to punch him or hurt him in some other way. Of course, the last time, everybody who participated got sent monsters.

A fucking huge bald one. Just last month he switched everybody's bodies around. If you couldn't switch back, you began coughing up blood and living the other guy's memories to the point that you forget who you are. Oh, and some people actually died from that. Remember--that's just last month. He's done worse shit in the past. In fact, they say his months tend to be the worst ones.

[He shrugs.]

I dunno. Didn't check the schedule. I just know that supposedly, the administrator changes every month.

[To be honest, he doesn't like this event, but it's more straightforward than what Jason did. Even now, he has to carry Ruler's memories inside his head.]

Well, I'd guess so. I've only seen two styles so far. At least this one gives you food throughout the month.
puppy_lancer: from <user name=hound-of-ulster> (The pipes are calling)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2012-11-11 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Jason would. After we all got our bodies back, he removed all the food from the cafeteria. But we could still hunt stuff, so nobody starved to death.

...I apologize before hand for the horrible imagery contained within this tag

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2012-11-11 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I told you. Jason's an ass among asses. If they were giving out prizes for biggest asshole, they would be shoving blue ribbons up his ass.

The entire tower does. That's why there were so many monsters running around earlier. Everyone wanted him to get punched.

[He taps the wolf's carcass, wondering if he should stab it again.]

Besides, that last experiment he did? It got a bit personal.
