"You want to do whatever you can..."

Characters: Seiko Shinohara and anyone. Just anyone.
Setting: Starting out in her dorm room and after that, anywhere, everywhere.
Format: Prose, though I'm pretty flexible so I'll roll with either.
Summary: Seiko arrives in a place that isn't filled with death and terror! Clearly the smart move is to explore!
Warnings: Probably a little bit a lot of screaming and a bit of a spoiler/trigger warning in beginning exposition. Also, Seiko.

Seiko screams the second the paralysis falls away, when she realized that this wasn't the bathroom stall and there wasn't a crushing veil around her neck. She reached for her neck with her still-numb arms, coughing and hacking all the way. Unfortunately this causes Seiko to edge off of the side of the bed, and she falls to the floor with a loud thump.

The pain she feels when she hits the floor is almost surreal, so alien that it seems fake. She wheezes loudly. What bothers her most the fact that she can't move her limbs, though she is in no position to be thinking so extensively. Feeling slowly begins to enter her body, sending shivers coursing throughout. Finally she can speak.

"Naomi?!" She flops on the floor. "Nao-"

Seiko suddenly flies into a coughing fit. She curls up into a ball on the floor, her hands clawing at her neck. It's so hard to breathe. The coughing just continues, with Seiko could find some purchase. Eventually air invades her lungs and she manages to stop, but her eyes stay inhumanly wide. Her movements are still spastic, her eyes darting in all directions.

Her usual bright, cheery demeanor is nowhere to be seen, replaced with one mixed with confusion and shock. But that's only to be expected from someone plucked so suddenly out of their personal hell. It'll take her a while for her to compose herself.




No. Actually she bounces back pretty quickly.

It isn't long until she starts bopping around in her school uniform. She wanders the dormitory floors just to snoop around. She won't mind it if anyone comes to bother her, but she's pretty busy peeking around corners. And into Closets. Pantries. Other people's rooms. If anyone is been unlucky enough to have left their doors open. Welp.

She isn't being a creeper though! After all that letter said that she was going to be staying here (the nice one, not the mean one that felt like a knife to the chest) so it was perfectly understandable for her to find her way around And how will Seiko know how to get around if she doesn't explore?

This is not just an excuse for her to bump her nose into places she has no business being in. Pfft. Where would you get that idea from?

Her not knowing either of them definitely makes Sakuma a lot more suspicious of her. Immediately, his frown deepens as he asks her again, "Then why are you here? This isn't your room."

He finally closes his book, sets it down on his bed and moves so now he's sitting at the edge, all the while still staring at her, not bothering to hide his suspicion anymore. It's definitely a little offsetting that she doesn't seem to be bothered by what she's doing at all, like she's genuinely curious but he doesn't want to risk anything. Being in the tower for so long has taught him to be wary of everything and everyone around him.
