2nd Mission

Characters: Rolo Lamperouge and YOU
Setting: 7th floor (Swimming pool),14th Floor (Media/game room), 28th Floor (Music room),
Format: Both are fine. I'll follow.
Summary: Rolo's just wandering around the tower, feeling rather bored.
Warnings: He won't bite unless provoked.

[7th Floor (Swimming pool)]
It was a spur of the moment thing really. Killing monsters gets rather boring after a while and Lelouch hasn't given him anything specific to do, so here Rolo is at the swimming pool. He examines it for a bit then decides to go for a swim after finding suitable swimwear in the lockers. Anyway, he had to keep himself in top condition for whatever might happen next. He's now quietly doing laps round the pool, concentrating on nothing but his own movements.

[14th Floor (Media/Game room)]
After his swim, Rolo ends up in media/game room. Once again, he examines everything in the room carefully. It's a force of habit from all his training. He just won't take unnecessary risks. Then he settles on a shooting game which he goes through rather mechanically with his perfect aim. He doesn't understand how this is fun. However, it feels somehow reassuring to be given an objective and a mission so he continues 'playing'.

[28th Floor (Music room)]
Finally, Rolo make his way to the music room. He is somehow drawn to one of the pianos and runs his fingers over the keys. During that year of fake memories, his older brother had taught him how to play a bit. He wonders if Lelouch would continue teaching him if he asked. Should he ask?

After a long pause, he sits down and starts playing some very simple tunes rather hesitantly. Somehow he feels a little happy.

In spirit, he is always with me.

[Though she means that perhaps more literally than the traditional saying might imply.]

By forcing me to transcend the individual and become a vessel of their combined will. It didn't work the way they expected it to, though.

Mhm.

[She shrugs.]

I suppose the same I do now, only... more? Last person who tried ended up as a giant amphibious thing, so it wouldn't have been very nice.

[Disregard the fact she's nearly seven feet of swim-happy monster, so technically she's already a giant amphibious thing.]
thebigsister: (and no one left to fight)

[personal profile] thebigsister 2013-01-05 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, nothing much. I'm good at fighting, and I'm pretty fast.

[And she shoots fireballs out of her hands and moves things with her mind, but she doesn't like telling people about what she can do. Unless they're close friends.]

It's useful here, but also not very uncommon.
thebigsister: (that i love the way you laugh)

[personal profile] thebigsister 2013-01-06 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That or to have friends willing to protect you!

[That's important too.]
thebigsister: (i keep your photograph)

[personal profile] thebigsister 2013-01-13 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I have people I'd protect, yes.

[She kicks back lazily.]

Here, at least.
thebigsister: (and i don't feel right when you're gone)

[personal profile] thebigsister 2013-01-22 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have anyone you'd want to protect like that?
thebigsister: (cause i'm broken when i'm lonesome)

[personal profile] thebigsister 2013-01-22 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm sorry, that must be very painful for you.

[Have some sincere sympathy, Rolo.]
thebigsister: (and we can breathe again)

[personal profile] thebigsister 2013-01-26 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure that you will find a way to connect with that person again.
thebigsister: (that i love the way you laugh)

[personal profile] thebigsister 2013-02-06 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't give up on them, and they won't give up on you, either.
thebigsister: (i wanna hold you high)

[personal profile] thebigsister 2013-02-10 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I do.

[Eleanor smiles under her helmet. She sounds absolutely certain.]

You just have to have faith in them, and not go back on your promises.
thebigsister: (and i know it serves me well)

[personal profile] thebigsister 2013-02-15 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Faith is always repaid, if it's sincere.

[Eleanor kicks down, sinking under water for a moment, before coming up again.]

It will be fine, in the end. You'll see.
thebigsister: (that i love the way you laugh)

I hope it all works out well for you in the future.
