Characters: Ienzo (now a big boy) and you.
Setting: Room 2-12 and some other places.
Format: Either!
Summary: Science Boy is back in the tower, except he's... significantly less of a boy, now.
Warnings: Ienzo is a ramblin', gamin' man.

 
Room 2-12.

[Ienzo found it extremely disheartening how long it took him to realize that something had gone amiss. The color palette wasn't even that similar; everything was a shade of grey here, it seemed, whereas everything was a shade of brown when he had gone to sleep last. Ienzo withheld most of his immediate reactions upon realizing that his body was not responding to movements; truthfully, it was enough to upset him considerably (what if he had been drugged was a recurring thought), but there was no use showing that. He noticed that there were several other people in this room, which only reinforced that notion.]

[He found the trunk quickly, and pulled on his clothes quickly before continuing. The letters were the second order of business. He read them both in detail (looking confused at the second), and stowed them in his pocket shortly afterwards. From the same pocket, he conjured a pen, and tucked the two journals in the trunk under his arm. Then, only then, did he bother to talk to anyone. He started with the people in his room, though branched out into the hallway. Whoever he asked, the question was the same:]

Excuse me. Can you tell me why I am here?

Floors 1 through 5.

[Greetings, Tower. Did you miss him?]

[Of course, game mechanics are a beautiful thing, and Ienzo doesn't remember anything about his last stint in the tower of souls. Though some other people might, and they would be remembering Ienzo as a little kid in an oversized lab coat who talked so quietly he didn't even use capital letters. Well -- and I know this may be surprising -- the lab coat actually fits now. He's been taken from a much farther point in the timeline, and is now nineteen years old. And yes, he is still quite short.]

[Anyway.]

[Ienzo's strategy for Tower exploration amounted to this: move up the floors one at a time, looking thoroughly at each one. Of course, he could see from the elevator that there were forty-eight of them, so he didn't expect that he would cover the entire Tower in one day; in fact, as soon as he stepped up the staircase and into a forest, he simply decided that he was done with exploration for the day and moved down to the lower floors again. Passerby might find him walking around, inspecting things so mundane that most people wouldn't even give them the time of day, or else sitting down on any available surface (except the floor) to take notes.]

[John was leaving his room to do a bit of exploring, despite the fact that he's sick and really should probably still be in bed. Behind him floats a Dusknoir, who immediately fixes his single-eyed gaze on Ienzo as he approaches. His master's current state seems to have activated his over protective mode. Suddenly everyone is at least slightly suspicious. The Litwick on his shoulder, in contrast, beams at the newcomer and offers a small wave.]

Uhh... [Sniffle.] really wish I could, but I am still not even sure why I am here so...sorry. [Cough.]

[He's still got his eye on you, Ienzo. Not even blinking. He is watching you.]

Uhhh...well I know it's a tower. And that's about it, really. It's not on any of our homeworlds since those were all supposedly destroyed. Personally I don't believe it, but that still doesn't answer what world exactly this tower is on. I have only been here about a week myself, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. Sorry again.

Floor 03

[The third floor library was the closest thing to a racetrack that Vanellope'd found so far. So she wasn't in a kart, but there were rows and corners she could run around, and everything else in there - the people included - were sort of like obstacles.

So, of course, she'd decided to spend some time skipping about. When Ienzo made his way to the third floor for his explorations, she was there. And since he looked pret-ty different from what she was used to, well, she just skipped right on over to him.]


What'cha doin'?

Room 2-12

[Another roommate; Ellian had disappeared a few days ago so they had had a bed spare. Shion was awake and getting ready for his day, he was busy now that he worked in the library and in the clinic that he and Hojo had set up.] You have been captured, they are claiming that the worlds have ended. We're not sure if it's true or not.
glitchinprincess: (Cute Smile)

[She skidded to a stop when Ienzo told her to stop running, but, being Vanellope... just started it up again the second he looked away. Sigh.

But when he answered her, she tilted her head to the side and studied him.]


So wait wait wait, what are ya, a librarian or somethin'? How do you know what all the books in here might have? How long have you been here for? How come your hair covers your face like that? When was the last time you had a haircut? Do you read books a lot? What's your favorite book? What do you know about this place?

. . .

[Well, that made one adult who's been able to keep up with her rapid-fire questions so far. Slowly, the expression of surprise on her face shifted into a sly little smile.]

If you're a scientist what kind of experiments do you do? Are you a mad scientist? Have you been in the library the whole time you've been here? How do you know I wouldn't know the books? How come you don't know much about the tower? You've been in a library, haven't you? Have you talked to anyone else? Did they tell you stuff? Have you eaten your oatmeal yet? It's yucky! But if you don't eat it you're going to be throwing up a lot. Which is kinda yucky too but it's kinda cool if you get a really big one and there's someone nearby who gets grossed out and--

Does your face always look like that?

[She jumped up to try and poke his cheek]

C'monnn, pal, gimme a smile!
Edited (i fixed the wrong tense omfg i am so sorry about this ;;) 2012-12-10 18:18 (UTC)

i am quite sorry ;A;

Uh, a heart? How's that a spiritual center? Everyone's got a heart right here, doiiii.

[She patted her chest for emphasis. Well... everyone except maybe Taffyta. Sometimes the other girl seemed pretty heartless. But eh, childish playground fights happened. Vanellope liked to think that Taffyta was just jealous. Or something.]

You don't look like you've been moving. You look like you've-- hey! I'm not most small children! Nyehhh.

[She stuck her tongue out at him and crossed her arms, but couldn't help but look a little intrigued when that smug little smile crossed his face. And then a moment later...]

WHOA! It's me! Well it's not me it's you but it looks like me! And it sounds like me! That's so cool! How'd you do that?!

[Puh-leeeze, most small children aren't this adorable. And most small children can't drive. Vanellope's pro ... or she would be if she had her kart here. Sigh.]

...yeah, tell me more about this heart stuff! Does everyone have one? Do you have one? Do I have one? If you can turn into me, can you do the things I can do when you're like that? How'd you find out about the spirit heart or whatever? Are there books about it? Are they hard to read?

[If I had my kart I would totally run over your foot, mister!!]

Uh-huh...

[The truth was, while she didn't really get all of the specifics, this stuff was pretty interesting. She didn't have any problem with him rambling... but she did have a rather unfortunate habit of interrupting to ask questions.]

What kind of worlds are you familiar with? Are you a game-jumper? ... What kind of fairy tale? ... Why's it a secret? Can bad things happen if people know about it?

Yeah, give or take a few days. My friend Dave has been here since...fuck when did he say? [Cough.] I don't remember, but since sometime around the start of the year I think.

You know. Someone who jumps from world to world. Game to game. Or universe to universe, like you said. So what, I guess some games are just programmed with the spirit-heart stuff and some aren't?

[She figured since he talked about having gone to lots of places in the past, he had to have been a game jumper. The kids in the arcade certainly couldn't go to worlds other than their own; that was why they went to arcades!

Vanellope, this is why you need to not jump to conclusions.]

[He shakes his head.]

Not yet. But the 45th floor is this...I guess kind of a giant observatory? The walls are all made out of glass, so you can see everything outside. But it's so high up that most of the time you can just see clouds. I haven't really gotten around to exploring a lot of the lower floors yet, so maybe there's something on one of those? But unless I am completely blind or something, there's no front door that we can just waltz out at any time we wish.

Five people with a lot of power. We're not sure if they are native to this world.

[Romeo saw the man in the library and blinked, because he looked familiar. But Romeo didn't know why, he had never saw the man taking notes before.

Romeo went back to looking for a book, rubbing his hands together to keep them warm. But after a few moments his curiosity got the better of him and he approached the man.

So Ienzo have a bare footed scruffy looking kid with a huge grin on his face approaching.]
Hello sir! Are you new?
