The Tale of a Jerk and a Scientist
Characters: Hojo and YOU
Setting: Throughout the tower. Pick a floor, any floor.
Format: Action to start, but I'll match prose, too
Summary: After some time spent wandering his ruined world like a ghost, Hojo has returned to the Tower. His first priority? Research.
Warnings: A complete lack of scientific ethics, which may come up.
[A great deal has gone on in Hojo's absence--he's been gone months!--and this has had the unfortunate effect of upsetting so much of his research. He has absolutely no idea what's happened while he's been gone.
So what's a scientist to do? Make his way through all the floors he had been so carefully studying, trying to salvage what he can. Sometimes he talks to himself. Sometimes he hums. Off-key or tunelessly. Sometimes he scowls and stops to take notes. Sometimes he smiles. And stops to take notes again. He grits his teeth, doing his best to ignore the cold. He's worked in cold (very cold) climates before. Fortunately, he has a Fire Materia, which provides some warmth.
One might find him in the cafeteria, taking samples of the oatmeal.
In the observatory, he spends a long time looking out, studying the strange creatures visible through the glass.
He takes soil samples in the graveyard, and biological samples on floor Forty-One, collecting insects. He plucks a few blossoms in the meadow (Twenty-Five) and in the garden (Twenty-Nine).
He stops in the clinic to deal with a few of the wounds he's sustained along the way.
He pauses to enjoy the morgue (Twenty-Six) and the laboratory (Twenty-Seven), looking for traces of his old research with Fuhito. He doesn't find much, though what he finds, he gathers up. What a shame. So much work lost. All the more reason to work more, and harder.]
So much to do, so much...

I've returned, as you can see.
After some time--I'm not sure how long--spent on my world, I suddenly reappeared in one of those rooms that pass as excuses for residences here.
no subject
[He's quiet for a moment. This is the first time someone he has met who was in this tower had left and returned with their memories of this place.... so maybe his friends really are alive, and they'll come back, too.]
Well, as long as you're here again...
[A smile forms on his face, and he gives the man a great bow.]
Welcome back, Professor!
no subject
[He regards the smile and bow, now quite sure what to make of this reaction at first, but at least sure it's the kind of respect he deserves.]
Yes, I'm pleased to be back. I was unable to affect my world, or the semblance of it, which was frustrating.

I'm finished here and eager to hear more. Where should we go? Back to the residential area?
[He did want more information, and Kidou seemed an ideal person to provide it.]
