Room 1-16 / hallway

[As soon as Waver is able to move, he jumps up from the bed, desperately looking around. He's also sure to check his right hand, but as there's nothing there, he quickly sees the last few days of calm weren't anything like a dream.

After noticing the letters and reading them over twice, he sets them aside. What's written there can't possibly be true, nothing could destroy the entire world so suddenly. Knowing that is a relief, but, he's still trapped somewhere unfamiliar. He quickly finds his trunk and the contents, swapping that awful bodysuit for a good sensible set of clothes immediately. ...And, underneath those, a book. He bends down to pick it up and turns it over to read the title. The Iliad, that same new but worn out copy. After thinking on it for a moment, he goes back to his bed and sets it under the pillow. That's what Alexander was said to have done, after all, right?]

Floor 45

[An observatory, that's perfect! He can get a good look at what lies outside the tower, maybe even spot where there might be somewhere to get outside. He stands up against the window, placing his hands on it to steady himself as he tries to look out.

He sighs.]

Nothing but clouds, huh...that's useless...

[As he begins to look up again, he shouts, falling backwards and trying to scramble away from the creature which had been face-to-face with him. Even though he was only just pressed up against the glass himself, he's completely forgotten it's there between them and can only stare in horror at the thing staring straight back at him.]

Floor 19

[After exploring the tower, Waver returns to the library. He wants to get through as much as he can right away, but with the size of the library, and there being two, even he knows it will have to be done over a period of time, not all in one sitting. Even so, he goes down the aisles, scanning for anything that looks like like it might contain relevant information. Anything which might give a better understanding of the tower and its intents. If he's especially lucky - maybe a book on magic which he might use to escape.

Going between the rows of shelves with a pile of books in his arms, stacked up to his chin, which he rests on them to keep the precarious stack stead, suddenly he notices something. The section clearly marked 'history' is entirely empty - the section which was sure to be most useful to him. Several books from the top fall from his stack as he whips around to be sure it hasn't simply moved over to the next shelf, or that his eyes are otherwise playing tricks on him. And then he throws the others down, shaking his head and gripping his it with both hands.]

Aah, what the hell?! You're kidding me, right?! Hey, someone forgot to put the books away, you can't just leave a whole section empty...!

Floor 14

[Through the stress of the day, around the time that would be called 'after dinner', Waver heads back to his room and slips a game into the front of his sweater (first checking no one will see, of course). He then goes down to the media room and finds a good corner to wind down and set up Admirable War Tactics.]

[ Wow have you never heard that roosters are supposed to stick together. ]

That book. Do you have some kind of weird obsession with it? [ Putting books under your pillow is like.. something Leon could never understand.. ] At least don't be creepy with it while I'm around!

[Um no there can only be one rooster in the flock, there's no room for two!!]

I'm not obsessed with it! I- someone I know used to do this. That's all. I don't know why I even have this book.

[ This room ain't big enough for the both of us, cowboy.. ]

So you just imitate them for no good reason? Sounds retarded.

As if! It's his book, so I just figured that's what he would do with it, so I should do it for him or something!

... Dude, you almost make it sound like he's your--

[ HE WANTS TO SAY BOYFRIEND, BUT.. HE JUST CAN'T. Even when he's joking he can't, it's still too weird!! DUDES DATING DUDES. ]

[Everyone is banging their Servant, we all know this.]

My what?

[He's not too sure what's being implied here, but he knows he doesn't like it.]

[ fast wheels on servant action, hmmm.. ]

You know what I'm trying to say! [ DON'T MAKE HIM SAY IT OUT LOUD, DUDE, HE JUST CAN'T. OKAY. PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO. ]

No, I don't, because whatever it is, it's stupid.

Aren't you the retarded one here with your stupid book?!

Since when is reading 'retarded'? It's none of your business anyway!

Since when hasn't reading been retarded?! Only people without a life do shit like that!

...Are you completely stupid? Like, did someone drop you on the head at birth? And I mean exactly at birth, not as an infant, because that's the only way someone could possibly have such a huge amount of their brain cave in.

... What?! Are you calling me retarded?! [ leon, does he have to further spell it out for you.. ] I'm the normal one here compared to you, y'know, don't get it wrong!

That's exactly what I'm calling you! If you think reading is a waste of time, then obviously you've never done it, meaning you're either illiterate or ignorant! Either way, you're a total idiot.

[The fact that Leon's at least half a foot taller than him and actually has some muscle is enough proof to Waver that he's just another dumb meathead. And also really getting on his nerves, almost more so than what Leon's actually saying.]

[ It's good to tower over someone for once-- he's pretty decent of a height, but some people at Hope's Academy, man. Let him tell you about it. So it helps there's a tiny chick like Waver instead of a magnificent rooster like him.. ]

Huh?! You can call me an idiot, but you're talking to a real superstar here! Besides, all the chicks dig me! [ n o p e ] I bet you can't say the same worth shit..!

Yeah? I don't recognise you, who are you a 'superstar' to, the detention room?

[He's not impressed, Leon. Also sure, the chicks don't dig him...but he doesn't even try, so...what does he care...]

[ WOW, HE AND THE DETENTION ROOM HAVE A VERY STRONG BOND THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! ]

No way, you retard! I'm a rockstar, that's what! [ in his dreams he's the rockstar, it's him.. ] Not like you'd know shit about that!

Uh huh? Then why don't I recognise you? You can't be much of a star.

[Leon, you don't even have a band yet, at least say a baseball superstar...]

I bet you just think you are and just sing in your room like an idiot.

[ THAT'S WAY TOO EMBARASSING, OKAY. If that's the only way to win an argument, he doesn't want to win it to begin with!! ]

Like you would know a thing about stars like that..! You seem like the type who just listens to retarded classical music all day!

I do not! But that doesn't mean I listen to your death metal or whatever it is!

It's punk rock! Get it straight!

Uh huh? You're not British, are you? That's something only a Brit can succeed in.

[He might not listen to it, but this is a matter of pride as a Brit, so even someone like Waver would know that.]

[ Wow, that's the weirdest reason for not being able to do it that anyone's ever told Leon.. usually it's just 'you suck'. ]

No way, if they can do it, then I can do it too! Leon Kuwata is about to join the newest generation of punk rockers!

Do Japanese people even listen to that kind of music? You look too stupid to speak English, so it can't be that you're going to live in America or England or something.

It's not like all people over there listen to it either, right? [ prime example the guy in front of him here.. ]

There's a big enough group of us there too, don't pretend you know shit!
