Characters: Allen and open
Setting: Room 3-10 or pick an indoor floor that isn't aggressive. He's turning the Tower upside down.
Format: Either or.
Summary: Allen has discovered that his crossbow and handheld computer are missing. This does not make him happy. So of course the obvious solution is to try to find them, right?
Warnings: Probably just some potential swearing and maybe some injuries, will change if need be.

It had taken Allen a while to realize his things were missing. He didn't use his crossbow often, and his connection gear wasn't that useful here. But when he'd reached through space and into his trunk for his weapon last night, he'd found nothing. That wasn't supposed to happen.

Of course, his first step had been to thoroughly search the room, sparing only the trunks of the roommates he ordinarily ignored. When it wasn't there, he'd gone searching the rest of the Tower.

Normally, he did his best to come off as calm and maybe a bit distant behind his mask, using it to separate him from the people he didn't intend to interact with on any personal level. But now he was annoyed. His movements were sharp and curt, leaving his cape trailing behind him as he moved through the Tower, searching anything that could reasonably be a hiding place. The actively hostile floors he skipped, doubting anyone would have hidden something there, but even the unsettling or potentially dangerous floors ended up subject to his search. And he really, really hoped that whoever had snuck into his trunk hadn't had room to hide his stuff in theirs...

No. Only Shining Wills can become Testaments.

Ah, sorry..I wasn't sure of the proper terminology there for a moment.

[She sighed.]

Then can normal or rejecting souls turn into Shining Wills?

...I don't think so. It's part of your basic nature.

[Tohko sighed.]

I see. So unless you were to change the nature, you couldn't do that. And I bet changing the nature is impossible.

[She sighed again.]

..I'll have to keep thinking of alternatives then. There has to be something I'm missing.

If you find something, let me know. So far, the only thing I've thought of is wait for humanity to grow up so there aren't as many rejecting wills. I'm not sure if who's a Shining Will can change between Recurrences or not, but all we really need is for fewer people to give in and become Gnosis.

[Tohko nodded.]

I will. And if you think of something that could help, please, let me know. I suppose waiting for humanity to change is one option..but if all we really need is for people to not give in, then I'm hoping that I can think of way to make sure that they don't.

..By the way, is there a way to tell whether someone has a rejecting will before they become a Gnosis? And..what's your actual name? It might be hard to find you again if I don't know it.

Wilhelm and us Testaments can tell how...I guess you'd call it bright someone's will is, and Yeshua might be able to. But other than that, not really.

And I usually just introduce myself as the Brown Testament. My human identity doesn't really matter much except to people who knew me.

I see..so us normal humans can't tell. I'll have to work around that then.

[Tohko was having to work around a lot of things..but she wasn't going to give up. Not yet.]

Ah..alright then. Sorry..I didn't know. I thought you were just giving me the alias because I didn't know what you were.

[She still doesn't quite know the specifics of being a Testament, but she has a general idea.]

Don't worry about it. It's mainly an old habit, the only reason I haven't broken it yet is because it's nice to be able to just take off my mask and get away from all the stuff I have to deal with as a Testament.

[Tohko smiled and nodded.]

It probably is nice to take off your mask and relax for awhile, away from everything that you have to do.

[She could understand. After all, back at home, it felt wonderful just being in the book club and munching on stories, able to show her true self without worry or fear.]

Well, at least unless Wilhelm shows up asking me to do something when I'm trying to take a day off...

Which is always annoying..hopefully things like that don't happen too often though.

Not that often. He's not that big on micromanagement, at least.

Well, that's good to hear. At least you have a few chances to get some rest.

[Even though she really didn't like Wilhelm, it was nice to know that he at least didn't bother his helpers too often.]

As much rest as I can get here, anyway.

That's true..this place is a little hectic with the monsters and the experiments. However..you can usually catch a few hours of quiet.

And the library's usually pretty peaceful, when people aren't using monster attracting terminals there.

[Tohko smiled and nodded.]

That's true. I'm usually able to spend a few hours in there happily reading.

It's actually where I spend most of my time.

Huh. It's a little weird that I haven't bumped into there yet then. I'm a librarian there, so I also clean and sort out the shelves as well as relaxing on my own time. Are you able to make yourself invisible or something?

I am, actually. And I usually am invisible when I want to be left alone.

[Tohko nodded.]

Ah, alright then. That makes sense. Sounds like a good power to have when you need some peace and quiet.

It is, as long as I'm not trying to avoid someone who can see me anyway.

Well..I don't think there are too many people who have that sort of power in this Tower, so you might be alright. At least, that's what I think.

I haven't been interrupted yet, anyway.
