#2 -- "A faint shimmering..."
Characters: Commander Shepard, Nanako Dojima, and later Yu Narukami / Commander Shepard and the rest of you crazies.
Setting: Dorm, then she'll be around the tower. November 1st onwards.
Format: Action; I'll match you.
Summary: The aftermath of the Halloween event. Shepard visits with a certain bowlcut, before heading off into the tower to see not only the rest of the tower, but its new floors.
Warnings: Mentions of mutilation, and lots of body horror imagery. Will update as needed.
[...So that was it, huh. No more people turned into their costumes and corrupted to such a hair-raising degree.
It was crazy how this place seemed no different than her home galaxy at times. Granted, considering that the tower itself was a magnet for all sorts of people, good or bad, it was probably not as much of a surprise...but what she'd witnessed for all of those two weeks was horrific--especially what happened to Yu. It reminded her of what happened to people impaled on the Reapers' Dragon's Teeth; the slow transformation from normal person with a family to nightmare and enemy to all life, from pink to steel gray, from organic to synthetic...from human to mutilated abomination, whose 'organs' were in plain sight, and whose mouth was filled to the brim with exposed 'wiring' that looked--no, felt disgusting to even watch at. Not that it ever bothered her, but any other person would be absolutely freaked.
But that didn't matter anymore, since it seemed like it was over already. Good. That's one more worry knocked off her head. But then, that leaves the boy she'd only met over the last month... had he finally changed back? If everyone else she'd run into that was costumed did, then surely he did too, right? Well, she could hope. That's why when she wakes up that morning, she sits there and waits for Nanako to wake up.
When she does...]
Hey. You want to go see if your brother's alright?
[Once that visit's done and over with, she heads off into the rest of the tower. She could be found anywhere on the first or third blocks--more likely the latter, checking out the new floors--especially the observatory on the 45th.]

When it's silly. But that's about it... ;_;
Besides, what's a good soldier if they can't fill in every potential role they could be set up for? Granted, Shepard's well beyond the rank and file, but...]
No need to apologize, Yu. There probably wasn't much that could be done at the time anyway.
[...And she wasn't about to admit it--not until they became more trusting of each other--but she hated those few moments of helplessness. At least it was exchanged for a heftily-weakened, albeit still corrupted bowlcut...]
This is sadly true ;_;
...Shut up being signed up for a beauty pageant totally counts
sob, the cross dressing.]I know. Still, that was a lot to first arrive on.
[He pauses for a moment, taking a few steps closer to the windows.]
To think, when I first arrived it was His voice that kept me together when our powers went haywire.
