towerofanimus | When the dream is over...

Characters: Meiling Hong and YOU!
Format: Any! I will follow!
Location: Dorm 02-15 ->Cafeteria (Or anywhere really! Just let me know)
Summary: Another new arrival to the Tower! Meiling is trying to find a way to figure out what happened..and to block out those letters.

[Dorm 02-15]

Slowly, very slowly Meiling wakes up to the sight of a....room? That startled her into a sitting position. This is not where she was supposed to be nor where she was when she started her nap! She quickly swung her legs over the side of the bed and thought in this, letting the letters fall to the floor.

"Huh?"

She leans down and picks the letters off the floor, opening one and looking very confused on the contents, as she was reading the one that was meant to be read AFTER the other one. Seeing as the first one made no sense, she opened the second one and her face falls. Gensokyo gone?

After reading that she sits there, just staring at the letter. The idea of Gensokyo being gone had her both confused and left in a disbelieving trance.

[Cafeteria]

After that letter and finding her normal clothing to change into, Meiling sat in a corner of the Cafeteria, eyes closed as she tried to think this all over. Everyone she knows and cares about gone...? She would not believe it! Beside her is a bowl of oatmeal that has not been touched at all as she is too busy thinking on what this all could mean, trying hard to find a reason to deny that her home for so long is now gone.

Like taking people from their homes and telling them that there isn't anything left? Or putting some weird thing on them?

Pretty much. Same thing's happened to everyone here. But one of the people from my world showed up, so I'm pretty sure they're not telling the complete truth.

I'm not sure I believe them on the world being destroyed. But at the same time...Why would they take us and put us here then?

I guess I just don't understand this all..

Because they're assholes who like to see people suffer. Not really much more you need to understand.

If you say so...So all this place is designed to do is mess with the people they say they have saved from a horrible end of the world?

I can't say I disagree with calling who ever is in charge as asshole then.

I've been here for two months. They mess with you at least once per month. You just missed that event where they shoved everyone into costumes.

So for a little while, we are safe from the whims of the people who wish to see us suffer?

Although do I dare ask how costumes can be used to mess with people...?

Yeah, I'd say so. The costumes were embarrassing at first, but if you didn't collect enough candy per day, it would constrict until it killed you. And then you came back wrong.

This place just...

[A shake of her head.]

I'm sure I will not like the answer to this next question but, Came back wrong?

You regenerated. Came back to life. But you got fused to your costume in a weird way. And...well, I was dressed as an animal, so I felt hungry all the fucking time.

[At least that event was straightforward.]

[She nodded through the whole thing. Got it all. And then there was the double take. She didn't catch that the first time he said it.]

Wait wait wait...Brought back to life? Is that always that way..? Not that I want to find out personalty or anything but...

I think it's supposed to. Death isn't permanent here, but it's still a bitch.

That's kind of odd..but I'm guessing that death would just be a escape to them. Slightly makes sense..Why give an escape that can be easily found?

[He nods.]

Not even a second death could release the victims of the costumes. Dickhead who came up with the event wanted them to suffer until the month was over.

This place...I don't like it already and I just got here...

Is there any way we can defend against these events?

[He sighs and shrugs.]

I've been through two of them. Both of them happened while I was sleeping.

Which means there is no defense.

[She sighs and shakes her head]

Good to know I guess...Although not reassuring.

When it happens, just...focus on making sure the people you wanna protect don't suffer too badly. Pretty much the only thing you or anyone else can do. Unless someone discovers some way to take the fight to the administrators and make them stop. That was how we got out of the body changing.

Edited 2012-11-21 19:21 (UTC)

Body changing...I'm not sure I want to know about that. Although if they want a fight..

[Her hands curl into fists.]

I just hope I can do that. Leave the suffering to the ones who can take it and save the ones who can not.

Good for you. You'd have my help if you needed.

[He was always eager to help piss off the administrators.]

[She grins and holds out a hand once she relaxes it out of the fist]

Alright, And you'd have mine if you need it as well. I'm Meiling.

Lancer.

[He gives her hand a firm shake.]

Always nice to get to know such a pretty little lady.

[She blushes a bit at the last part but her own shake is just as firm.]

T-The same to a handsome young man.

[He laughs. Unlike his usual barking laughs, this one is genuinely amused and impressed.]

...And an eloquent and observant young lass at that. I think the Tower really is gonna be a nicer place with you around.
