[Partner Finding Post]

Characters: Anyone participating in Leashes Event
Setting: Entire Tower
Format: Party Style
Summary: A general open post for finding partners in the Leashes Event.
Warnings: As a party style post, you create your own threads. If you have questionable content in your threads, please warn in the subjects.

As the tower awoke to the leashes binding them to the others, they were of course curious. And those who weren't...well perhaps the person on the other end came to find them. Knowing who you're attached to and feeling is probably for the best.

Nothing seems to be just what it seems in this place after all.

... Dude you've gotta be kidding me, you've never played a video game? You are so deprived. Hell I'd show you what a video game is if I had one here.

[He almost cracks a smile. Almost. What was with the happy feelings?]

[Happy upon happy? It's a happysplosion.]

No? [He looks a bit sheepish there. But he does grin that this guy at least seemed close to a smile.] Eheh, maybe if you really wanted one you could request it from the suggestion box. I hear that's how we got all of this ice cream.

Ice cream every day, we are all going to get so damn fat I swear to gog.

And hell, that's a good idea. TV plus a gaming system.

[He seems to ponder this for a moment.]

Anyway, still confused on what this leash thing's supposed to do.

It's better than that oatmeal at least.

[Ven was about to ask what a TV was, and then remembered those leash things.] Oh yeah. [He grabbed the freaky tether thing and brought it closer to his face to scrutinize.]

Hm...I dunno, do you feel any different or anything?

Give it a week and I guarantee some of the people here'll switch back to eating oatmeal instead.

[He looks down at it and furrows a brow.]

Ridiculously happy for some reason. Makes no sense to me, are these thing supposed to make us feel happy? Like a drug or something?

You're on! [Eating ice cream foreveeerrrr]

Making you happy..? [Stiiill messing with it as he thought about it.] I dunno, I feel the same as always. Except things kind of seem less interesting than they were before.

I might stick some ice cream in oatmeal just to see how people react.

[He shrugs.] Not a lot interests me so that's not new to me... [He looks down at the collar.] Huh... Here, just a hunch. This might turn out to be incredibly stupid and pointless.

[Dave pulls his sword, broken, out from his sylladex, which would appear like it came out of thin air, and hits himself hard in the gut with the hilt, doubling over.]

[ooc: I totally keep forgetting I need to talk to you!! I've been sick so I have been kind of sparse online, but I'll try and grab you on aim, kay? C:]

Hahah, I bet ice cream could make even the oatmeal taste better.

Huh? [Spontaneously appearing weapons were not new to Ven, so he just watched Dave with interest.] And then he suddenly felt the wind knocked out of him, sending him falling back.] Oof..!

What was that...?!

((Alrighty! I should be on basically all day today after I finish my next class. |D !))

[Dave looks up at him, adjusting his shades, his teeth gritted in pain.

Wasn't the smartest experiment but at least he was getting somewhere.]

You felt that. God damn, you felt that.

Y-Yes I felt that...!!

[He was sitll busy clutching his midsection because oooowwww]

Wait...did you do that?!

[He rubs his own gut in sore pain.]

I hit myself. You felt it too. Here, let me see if it goes both ways.

[And, pretty rudely and without consent, he walks towards Ven and stomps on his foot roughly. Pain shoots up his own foot and he clutches it in agony.]

Ow, jegus!

Hu-- Ow!!!

[Ow ow oh god, Ven immediately brought his foot up and started hopping on place.]

I-I take it you felt that...! S-So is this the point of the leash...?

Ouch ouch ouch. Okay, so yeah, we've figured out that much. I feel like it extends past just pain, though. You say you feel uninterested? Well I'm feeling waaaay too happy.

Are you always so ridiculously happy? Because I'm always uninterested in things that aren't cool. Like this whole tower.

Uh...yeah, I'm usually pretty happy about stuff. [Except for you know, getting stomped on the foot. Cue awkward laugh.] It's not like it's a bad thing...!

So...you think maybe these collars are making us feel what the other person attached to it feels? Mentally and physically?

I dunno, that seems to be the case. Setting off nerves is easier than setting off emotions, though, can't say for sure.

I guess you could try crying or something.

Crying? I'm not some baby that just cries for no reason you know. [Grumble grumble.]

[And he thought for a moment.] Um.... Maybe try getting angry?

It's not like I get angry for no reason either, though I've been generally pissed off at this whole tower situation anyways.

[Sigh, this wasn't getting them anywhere.]

Any bright ideas how to test it?

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's pretty annoying. [Now that he thought about it at least. Er, wait, maybe that was because of the collars?]

Um, you scared of anything? Scaring one of us might work. Or surprising?

[All of these emotions! They were getting really ridiculously confusing and hard to keep track of. Though he could tell that his own emotions were at the front of his mind while the ones he didn't recognize weren't quiiite as prominent?] Nope. Not scared of anything. You??

...[beat.]

No. There's not exactly anything scary around here right now.

[He was distinctly trying not to remember those freaky ghosts that had shown up not that long ago. Eugh.]

[Oh god he was thinking about them too... how his dead brother's voice kept following him, and Lil' Cal kept showing up all over the tower... No, no, remaining calm, remaining cool.]

... So looks like this'll have to remain untested I guess. Whatever, just keep your happy to yourself, kay?

[Man now he was just thinking about it more, he practically got a shiver down his spine, stop thinking about that stop stop.]

H-Hey, if we are right I can't just keep it to myself! Unless you want me to not be happy...!

[What a blasphemous thought!]

[Okay he's starting to freak out a little more now, and he really doesn't mean to be.]

You don't have to be overly excited about everything.

...

[OK maybe this time the guy had a point. He seemed to deflate a bit at this. Master always did say he was too excitable.]

U-Uh.... Sorry, about that, I guess. But I can't really help it!

[He gives him a small thumbs up.]

Alright, fine, it's cool dude, just don't throw me off my style too much. And try not to get yourself killed or slam the door on your foot or something fucking painful like that. Pretty sure it would suck for both of us.

I love how this thread they're happy and the other they're angry

Lol emotional bipolarness, it's practically the definition of the event

And x2 double death combos

It is for science. Totally.

Html fail sorry! xAx

No worries~ c:

Dave is going to be the one to figure out all the mecahnics of death in this tower just watch

Obviously all this dying is just field study.

He's the official scientist of the tower.

Needs an epic red labcoat.

Labcoats are for Egberts and Lalondes 8T

But it'd be so cooooollllllll

Only if it had a sweet broken record on it, and the goggles were Ben Stiller shades

I don't think Ben Stiller shades would protect your eyes very well

They are the finest eye protection BI

Not my fault when your eyes explode, dude

It's not like any of these experiments involve acid (yet)

What about radiation poisoning. Maybe he could get Cyclops eye beams

Dude that would be SO SWEET and a real excuse to wear his shades

It would be so awesome. B] In an ironic way of course.

It would be so funny... why do i want this to happen

Because it's the best idea ever and then Dave could literally stare his enemies to death

If Dave were a super hero he'd definitely be Cyclops

Would John have to be Storm

And Rose can be Xavier

Best mental image. Also who would Jade be
