towerofanimus | Definitely not a "vurp" and definitely not something she wants to taste

Characters: Vanellope and anyone who's willing to talk to a brat with dirty hair!
Setting: First floor cafeteria.
Format: Either or! I'll be starting with action, but I'll follow your lead if you want something else.
Summary: Vanellope has discovered that she has to eat oatmeal and she is not amused.
Warnings: May be vaguely spoilerish if you haven't seen Wreck-It Ralph yet. Also, Vanellope gives inappropriate nicknames.

_{[This day was already turning out to be way weirder than Vanellope wanted to deal with. The last thing she remembered-- those creepy bugs coming out of the ground, and a crash, and Ralph yelling, and then--

...waking up here, and finding that weird note. Luckily the words were all simple enough for her to understand. Unluckily... the words were all simple enough for her to understand. No way could Sugar Rush have been destroyed! Glitches couldn't leave their game, right? And... and...

But those bugs, A small, nagging voice in the back of her mind whispered. Remember those bugs?

She didn't want to deal with it.

Another thing she didn't want to deal with? The jumpsuits. Uh, hello? Totally not her style! Her hoodie was much better racer material, thank you. She'd changed clothes and grabbed a handful of candy from her trunk ASAP.

Exploring the tower was something she definitely needed to do. She found herself at the bottom floor cafeteria more quickly than she would have thought - idly bringing a piece of licorice up to her lips to chew on, she passes through the doors.

A moment later, just after swallowing, she gags. Both hands fly up to her mouth and she makes a dash for the nearest trash can, jumping up to empty her stomach into it.]}

What--?!

_{[When the vomiting subsides, she hops back down onto the floor and eyes the licorice suspiciously.]}

...bad licorice.

_{[With that, she pops a mint into her mouth. A moment later, she has to jump back up to the edge of the trash can. This is not okay. She's sure she could have some fun with it if it didn't make her stomach hurt so bad... but it does hurt. And it's not just one or two candies. She's trying it out with everything she's got, and the result's the same every time. Finally, she collapses on the ground next to the trash can, her face a little green.]}

This really stinks!

Good! Because I'm never eating anything like that ever again. Neeeever.

...I wanna go explore! What kinda stuff is there around here? Is there a racetrack?

Hopefully you won't have to..and while there isn't a racetrack here, there is a gym with a small running track. And there's a library, a music room..and penguins are living in the aquarium right now, if you want to see them.

...I wanna go see the running track!

[If the running track's the right size, maybe she can get a kart set up and practice racing there. Maybe.]

Alright then! That should be on the thirty-ninth floor. Let's go!

[Tohko got up from her seat, a grin on her face.]

Oh, and if you feel cold, let me know. I can make a cloak for you, or a cape. We'll be passing the workshop floor, so I'll be able to do that.

A cape would be cool! I could put it on and I'd be like a superhero!

[She giggles and jumps up from her seat to follow Tohko]

...hey, we don't gotta walk all the way up there, do we? That's a loooong way.

[Tohko chuckled at that. A cape on Vanellope would look pretty cute, and it might keep her warm. It wouldn't take long to make either.]

Well, there is an elevator that goes to the twenty-first floor. We can take it up to there, walk the rest of the way, and get your cape on the way back. Or get it before going to the gym. It's all up to you!

Let's get the cape now!

[And maybe when they get out of the elevator Vanellope can talk her into giving her a piggyback ride up the rest of the way...]

Alright then. That should be on the fifteenth floor. Let's go!

[Tohko started to walk off, watching to see if Vanellope was following. She didn't want her to get lost or stuck somewhere because she got behind.]

[Vanellope scampers after her, looking eager]

So what's the deal with all these floors? How come this place is so high up? How high does it go? Does the tower eeeeever stop?

[Tohko kept walking as she talked, careful to not let Vanellope out of her sight.]

No one knows exactly why the Administrators keep making this Tower so tall, but it does stop. Right now, it's at about fourty-eight floors, even though new floors can appear at anytime.

...can floors disappear at any time too?

I haven't heard of any of the floors vanishing before. I don't think you'll have to worry about a floor vanishing right under you.

I was just thinkin', if they can give floors, couldn't they also take 'em away?

It'd be pret-ty confusing though.

They probably could, but I doubt they'd do it. After all, no one in the Tower has reported something like that happening..at least, not that I know of.

Isn't there always stuff going on that we don't know about though?

That's true, but there's also some stuff that we do know about. Besides, if the Administrators started removing floors, they would start to get rid of places to torment us. Less living space.

These guys sound like some real sadists.

Sadly, they are..only one of them seems to be really humane, and even he probably isn't wholly trustworthy. However..we'll beat them someday. We'll all be okay.

Yeah! Oh oh, maybe we can challenge them to a race and then we can make them eat our dust and they'll hafta let us go!

[Tohko chuckled at that and gave a small smile.]

It would be nice if we could do that. Sadly, there aren't any racecars here..yet. You could build one though. There is a workshop. However, the Administrators almost never come out in person, unless they absolutely have to or want to.

I've built a kart once before! Maaaaybe I can do it again!

[Though a very small part of her thinks, But it won't be the same...]

You can! The materials are all here, so you can build one if you want. However..if you build one, make one for me too, alright? That way, we can race each other!

[Tohko had never raced before..but it might be fun.]

I'll give it a try! I've never made a kart for someone as tall as you before!

Well, then building a new type of racecar could be fun. If you need any help, just let me know! I'm a simple book girl, but I may be able to help.

Yeah, you might!! Have you read books about building karts before?
