[This was one realm to wake up in. She had been in the house, she could have sworn, but maybe she had slept, sleepwalked out. Despite how she had never done so in memory, it could happen. It would explain some things, but not others. A memory wipe again? Not out of the question if she had gone somewhere new. And the collar suggested it. A suppressant, or something controlling her.

No matter. She should be more concerned than she is, but for now she knows all she has to do it find the border and cross, so there is time enough to explore.

An elevator. That, at the least, was familiar, and the stairs were nothing she didn't know how to use.

There is time to explore, and Juliet intends to make the most of it.]

"After I convince her to spill her secrets," she laughed, grinning at Touko. "Slapping isn't the best first impression, even if someone deserves it. She could slap back."

Tohko chuckled with Juliet. "Yeah..if you slapped her first, she wouldn't tell you anything and you might get hurt. Normally, I wouldn't tell you to slap her, but in last month's game, she turned my fingers into knives and twisted my head around. It's was near impossible to read, and before I noticed what they had done to me, I had killed three people." Or, at the very least, three people. Last month had been rather hectic, which fogged Tohko's memory a little bit.

"They shouldn't be mad if it wasn't you. Not like it's your fault." She shrugged, easily brushing off the deaths.

"Well, most of them weren't mad..but it's annoying to know that they twisted my head around, and I didn't notice until a few days later. Plus, with fingers like that, it was hard to read. Since I'm a book girl, it was like they were trying to cut off a part of my own body!" They were also depriving Tohko of her food, but there was no way she was going to say that.

"I heard of something like that...Andrew Scissors-for-hands, was it? Never tracked it down but I know he had problems."

"Andrew Scissors-for-hands? I'm sorry, I haven't heard of that guy. I'm guessing he was in a similar condition though, right?" Tohko asked. What sort of world did Juliet come from?

"I know I've got the name completely wrong, so it's not like I'm a great source-but he had scissors on his hands!" She was still cheerful. "Oh, is this the cafeteria?"

"Ah, I see. Why did he have scissors on his hands?" Tohko asked before looking around. Huh. This was the cafeteria. Tohko had been so wrapped up in the conversation that she hadn't noticed walking down the stairs. Oh well.

"That it is. Now remember, eat the oatmeal before you start munching on anything else." Tohko reminded, putting her books down on the table before getting a plate of curry and rice along with a spoon before sitting back down again. While it would taste like sand, she couldn't let anyone find out about her tastes.

She went to go get the oatmeal, thoroughly unimpressed by its looks but not wanting to risk throwing up. Taking it back to where Touko was sitting with her books, she began to eat, trying to think less of the flavour and more of the fact that it was necessary. It wasn't so awful she was going to die, she could live with it.

Tohko watched at Juliet ate the oatmeal. "If you want, I could mix some of my curry in that for you. It could help improve the taste..and you can still eat it safely if you mix things with it. After all, that's what I did." After all, it wasn't like Tohko could taste whether the curry was good or not.

"I couldn't take your curry away from you! I'll live." She didn't want to cause inconvenience, and it would be over soon enough.

"Don't worry about it! It's not that much of an inconvenience. Besides, I couldn't let you eat that stuff without helping out a little bit." While Tohko couldn't actually taste the oatmeal, it looked pretty bland and disgusting.

"If you're really sure, some spice can't hurt this at all. I feel like I'm eating hospital food!" Juliet laughed, but she meant the remark about the hospital. Medical really could have benefited from someone who knew how to cook.

Tohko chuckled. "Yeah..hospital food might even be better than that." She dumped half of the curry into Juliet's oatmeal, hoping that it would improve the taste.

Juliet mixed it all up before taking another bite, glad to have the spices brighten up the mush. "Now it's just odd curry, and that's much better."

Tohko grinned. "I would imagine so! Bland oatmeal is nowhere near as good as an odd batch of curry." To be honest, they tasted the same to her, but she wasn't going to admit that.

"So, what other things are of interest in this building? You talked about danger, but is it all danger?"

Tohko thought for a moment as she ate. "Well, aside from the monsters and the Admins, there's not much danger here, at least, not that I've been able to find. Of course, some people are fighting with each other...but it's been a pretty..interesting time here."

"You say interesting and I have to say elaborate. Pretty please?"

Tohko chuckled. "Well, I've been able to make a lot of new friends here..especially with a guy named Enoch. So it's not all monsters and fighting."

While there was a lot more to it than that, there was no way Tohko was going to elaborate too much. If she did..she'd have to reveal that she's a book eater.

"It'd get boring fast if it was just fighting. You have to stay alert, I'm guessing is the key word?"

"Exactly. You have to be on your toes and watch what's going on, but if you can do that, you'll usually be fine."
