towerofanimus | 001 { howling in the dead of night }

Characters: Koromaru and you, good sirs and madams!
Setting: All around the tower, starting in room 3-04.
Format: Starting in prose, but I'll match your preference.
Summary: Puppy did not have a good few weeks in the tower. Why all his friends either not here or acting strangely? :(
Warnings: Possible omg cute while everything else goes to hell ~~pfffffffffffffffft~~.

The last three weeks have been very confusing for the humans he's seen, and even more so for the canine that awakened in a strange room with three strange people he didn't know. Though, they did seem to be okay... and running into Chie-san wasn't too bad, either!

But... where were his friends?

He couldn't really put his own collar on by himself (we do not count the one he awoke with, it doesn't do the same thing), so he carried it in his mouth for a while, unless someone was kind enough to put it on him. Really, he looked kind of down about it as he began searching every floor for any sign of them being alright.

Probably didn't help that the last thing he saw was one of his closest friends flying up to the moon on his own as they cried out for him...

A certain dog was beginning to wonder if that was simply the norm around here, what with how it had been since he arrived. Though he couldn't help but tilts his head at the questions. He made a noise, 'yes.' To which one? Who knew, but he was placing the collar on a table nearby so it would be easy for her to reach.

Tohko gave a small smile to the puppy. "Alright. Hang on." Tohko leaned her mop against the wall-the puppy was lucky that the floor was pretty clean to begin with-and carefully picked up the collar. She had to be careful. With her fingers, if she put too much pressure on the collar, it would break. Carefully, she put it on the dog and snapped it into place.

"There you are. Now, do you want something to eat? I can't promise that there'll be dog food lying around, but I can probably get you something." Tohko asked, picking up her mop again.

[ooc: Tohko's fingers have turned into small, sharp knives, as punishment for dying in her costume.]

Not going to lie, but Koromaru had been nervous about that considering he saw her hands. That was why he'd put it down... so at least his mouth wouldn't be accidentally scratched when she took it. The fact she managed to pick it up and put it on without hurting him or it earned her bonus points! ...He'd nuzzle, but yeah... knives. Bad idea. Even the dog knew that.

He barked once. Lack of dog food was fine; he was used to having to eat scraps before, and while his friends had spoiled him, he didn't mind! But... weren't you cleaning? He doesn't want to interrupt.

[ooc: sob, I saw that and went "oAo p-poor thing."]

Tohko smiled at the bark. "I'll take that for a yes then. I'll show you to the cafeteria. I'm sorry if I move slowly though. I'm mopping up the floors." Tohko held up her mop. She was a little annoyed that the puppy was interrupting her cleaning..but by this time, Tohko had realized that those emotions were a result of this stupid costume, just like her fingers. She suppressed them and started to walk, mopping as she went. Thankfully, the cafeteria wasn't too far.

[ooc: Sorry! I probably should have linked that in the first place. ><; And don't feel too bad for Tohko. She's already killed..three people and tried to kill two others.]

He barked once again. It was fine, really... he did not mind being slow. Really, if she had a broom he'd likely sweep before her. It looked like fun! (Though since there were no thumbs he would most likely be making even more of a mess... oops.)

[ooc: It's okay! and ffft, I always feel bad for those changed by the costumes. XD]

Tohko chuckled at the puppy's happy barking and slowly finished mopping up the floor before heading downstairs. The infirmary was always pretty clean, so Tohko didn't have to do much work here. As she mopped she talked to the dog. "Let's see..do you mind being called Shiro?" Tohko had no idea what the dogs real name was, but she just couldn't keep calling it puppy.

[ooc: Ah, alright then. And it is a little sad..but it's also a bit fun, in a twisted sort of way. xD;]

He was patient as she mopped, waiting on the stairs until she joined him. He wouldn't want to accidentally mess up her cleaning job, even though his paws were free of mud. Though, Shiro? ...Well, he didn't mind it, so he barked once.

Tohko nodded as she finished mopping. "Shiro it is then. Come to think of it, don't you have an owner? Who normally feeds you, Shiro?" Tohko asked as she walked out of the room and went down to the cafeteria, sure that Shiro would follow.

Let's see..dog food..dog food..

...Koromaru lowered his head at that. Most of his friends were worse off and one of them was singing a song elsewhere that had started getting to him too so he had to leave him behind; something that he hated to do but didn't want to make the others sad, too.

He barked twice before pointing his nose toward her 'fingers' as though trying to give a hint. Costumes are mean here. :(

Tohko noticed his behavior, and tried to piece it together. "So..your owners are in costumes too, and you had to run away to avoid being killed. I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully, when this is all over, you can go back to them."

Tohko managed to find a small can of dog food in the corner of a cupboard. While it had pumpkin in it, it was better than nothing, so she opened up the can and set it down for Shiro. "There you are."

"'roo..." Most of them, anyway. And not owners, team members! :( He hoped so too, but for now... he's just going to nibble at the dog food then nuzzle her arm in thanks.

Tohko smiled as he quietly barked and nuzzled her arm. She tried to pet him back with her arm..but that was probably going to be awkward.

"You're welcome. I'm glad I could help."
