001 - This Isn't Cool At All
Characters: [AU2] Picky Minch and you!
Setting: Room 3-16 and around Dorm block 3, Floors 1 and 6
Format: Action brackets to start, but I'll totally match you!
Summary: Another new arrival wakes up and tries to figure out what's going on.
Warnings: None
Room 3-16 and Dorm
[It's bad enough to not wake up in your own bed, and bad enough that it's freezing. Not being able to move, even just to kick your legs and warm them up, that was really freaky-bad. Even in that short period of paralysis, Picky is starting to work himself up to quite a panicky state. So when it wears off he's up with such a start that he just about flings himself off the bed.]
Aaaagh!
[In the process of getting to his feet he finds the standard Welcome To The Tower note, reads it, and just... stares at it.]
Porky... Porky must've...
[And then it occurs to him that he might not be alone in here. This kind of looked like a dorm room. He folds the note up, wraps his bedding around himself for warmth, and hushes up while trying to take in what's around him. Maybe there's a roommate to have a chat with. Or someone in the hall that'll clue him in further.]
Floor 1, cafeteria
[Oatmeal for breakfast? Picky couldn't object too much. It was hardly his favorite, and it could really use some sugar, but it was hot and he was pretty hungry.
So hey, there's a teenager in a leather jacket, with hair in his eyes, actually kind of enjoying the standard introductory breakfast. And as he eats, he sits back and watches the other people wandering around. Maybe there'll be someone he knows. Maybe someone he can ask more questions to. And heck, some of these people are pretty weird looking. It's probably best to keep an eye out.]
Floor 6, forest
[This place was a tower, right? With lots of levels, right? Why not explore it? Why not check it out? So, pockets full of nutrition bars and head alarmingly free of clues as to the kind of trouble he could be encountering, Picky had explored his way up to the 6th floor. When he saw that it was a forest, that piqued his interest and brought him off the staircase. Sure, it was cold, but he had warm enough clothes on. Maybe there'd be something good out here? Something like...]
Oh, hey! A rabbit!
[There was one, right over there, a snowy white bunny just hopping past. And it didn't even scamper away in fright, like Picky had expected it to. Maybe the animals were friendly here?]
Hey there, Mr. Rabbit. Hey. You hungry? [Slowly approaching, Picky slipped one of the nutrition bars from his pocket and unwrapped it. And then he knelt and extended his hand, offering the end of the bar. The darned things tasted enough like sawdusty oats and spongey nothingness that maybe a rabbit would find them a worthwhile treat. Or something different than grass to nibble on.] Yeah, it's alright. C'mon, have a bite. [Maybe if it went well, he'd have a pet rabbit for himself. Could they keep pets in the dorm? He'd have to check with his roommates, he guessed.
Surely nothing will go wrong, here, and no one will need to step in to help! Or to point and laugh. It's just a rabbit, after all...]

no subject
Woah!
[And Picky is on his feet in an instant, arms windmilling, his mind positively blown.]
Was that PSI powers or something?!
[For the moment, both the rabbit and the fact that he's bleeding has been forgotten.]
no subject
What's PSI?
no subject
[There had to be a good way to describe this. Picky turned himself about, looked around for any sign of the fanged bunny, and then stepped a bit closer to Wriggle. For... her safety, yeah, sure, that's the ticket...]
Are all the rabbits like that? That's freaky!
no subject
I dunno, but you need to be careful here. There are all kinds of monsters!
no subject
[The paranoid scanning of the forest around them continues!]
Seriously? Monsters? No one mentioned monsters!
no subject
But they mostly come out at night, so that's when you need to be the most careful.
no subject
...uh, hey, are you cold?
no subject
[She shrugs to motion towards the blanket around her shoulders. Underneath that though, she's still wearing shorts and a summer's blouse]
no subject
[He's new. Go easy on him.]
no subject
It was summer in my world when it ended.
no subject
Can't you, like, get a jacket somewhere?
[He starts to motion as though he's taking his own jacket off, but winces in pain and stops when he begins to pull the bitten hand into his sleeve. And then he does a take when he looks at it. It had managed to bleed a fair bit in that short while.]
Holy geez, I didn't think rabbits had teeth like that... Ow, man, what the heck...
no subject
Rabbits always had teeth like that, that's why you need to be careful!
Do you need to see a doctor...? I don't know any but I know where you can get some bandages.
no subject
[Picky huffs, holding his injured hand with his still-good one.]
I don't need a doctor. Just some bandages would be great. Where do we go for bandages, here?
no subject
... I forget. They're like that in the tower.
[She shrugged the blanket tighter over her shoulders and looked around for the exit]
There's a room a few floors up... Or was it down? They have bandages and medicine and stuff there and you have to go ever so often so they can look at your collar...
[That's right, wasn't it...? Honestly it had been so long since she arrived that the collar didn't feel strange on her. Now it was hard to imagine what life was like without it]
