Stairs and exploring and capes, oh my!

[glitchinprincess]

Characters: Vanellope & Tohko, and Vanellope & you on other floors!
Setting: Floor 15, Floor 08 and Floor 21
Format: Any! I'll follow what you do~
Summary: Following Tohko's success at making Vanellope eat her oatmeal, she offers to make her a cape and the two of them go exploring. After that, Vanellope takes off on her own and is, well, herself.
Warnings: Wreck-It Ralph spoilers by virtue of Vanellope being herself, general childishness that may grate on one's nerves

Floor 15 - Vanellope and Tohko.
[Vanellope had been chattering Tohko's ear off the whole way there - every floor they passed through prompted more and more questions - What's that? and Can I go over there? and How long has this been here? and so on. When they're just one floor away, she grins impishly and darts on ahead of her.]

Race you to the workshop!

Floor 08.
[Vanellope's explorations have landed her smack-dab into a maze, and not realizing that the safest way through is to keep one hand on the wall, she's already taken a few turns. She's starting to feel a little turned-around and mixed-up, but she figures with enough time she should be able to figure this one out.]

Okay, so I just took a left, which means now I want to take a right...

Floor 21.
[She has quite literally had enough of stairs. The spiral staircase makes her dizzy and her feet are starting to hurt - she's used to driving, not walking. She'd made it down to the first floor from the maze and had immediately taken the elevator up - whatever, she'll just explore one of those floors. When she steps out of it on the twenty-first floor, her eyes light up.

The mouthwatering smells of food that is not oatmeal or nutrition bars wafts towards her, and a small little smile works its way onto her face. Now this is more like it.

She wanders into the restaurant.

Moments later, she makes her way back to the elevator and plops down, pouting.]

What is this, some kind of fetch quest?!

[Why yes, that's exactly what it is, Vanellope.]

Comments

Feel free to ignore this super-late tagback D8

[glitchinprincess]

Yeaaaah! Besides, s'not like I'm that bad.

[She shoots Tohko a mischievous little grin.]

Right?

Don't worry! I'm slow myself, so you shan't be ignored!

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko returned the smile and nodded.]

Right! So don't worry-you'll be okay.

^^;;

[glitchinprincess]

[After a couple of moments, Vanellope tilted her head to the side and looked up at her.]

So if you're a librarian, are you going to try and read every book in the library someday?

:3

[tohko_amano]

[Now it was Tohko's turn to sport a mischievous smile.]

Vanellope, I probably already have read almost every single book on the third-floor library.

[glitchinprincess]

Whoa! Really?! Every single one?!

[tohko_amano]

Almost every single one! I am a book girl for a reason, you know!

[glitchinprincess]

That's AMAZING! I don't know anyone else who can read that much!!

[tohko_amano]

Oh, there's probably one or two people in the Tower who have read more than me. However, I am the book girl, so I've read a lot of books in my life!

[glitchinprincess]

Were you a book girl before you read all those books or are you a book girl BECAUSE you read all those books?

[tohko_amano]

I'm a book girl because my knowledge and love for books is greater than anyone else's in my universe!

[..And because of her braids and her taste buds. But Tohko wasn't going to mention that.]

[glitchinprincess]

How much greater, exactly?

[tohko_amano]

Much greater! After all, I haven't heard of anyone else in my universe managing to solve a murder-mystery through wits, luck, and love of books or helping a suicidal girl with nothing but books and words!

[glitchinprincess]

You did all that?!

What else can you do?!

[tohko_amano]

Yup! A friend of mine back home and I did all that. As for what else I can do-I can help people with their problems, no matter what they are, and use my knowledge of books to help me and other people out in almost every situation!

[glitchinprincess]

WOW! So you think you know enough from books to do something about the yucky food in this tower?!

'Cause that'd be really cool!

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko chuckled at that.]

Actually, I did find out a way. You see, you can add things to the oatmeal to improve it's taste. Chocolate syrup, spices, things like that. As far as the menu goes..I'm sad to say that I can't control that.

[glitchinprincess]

...chocolate syrup's not bad...

Who picks the menu anyway? They have no taste.

[tohko_amano]

The Administrators do..and since Jason picked the menu for this month, it's not that tasty.

[Tohko sighed.]

[glitchinprincess]

So Jason's got really bad taste in food, huh?

[tohko_amano]

No..he chooses this sort of food to mess with us. Remember, Jason is the one that likes to experiment on the Residents.

[glitchinprincess]

Oh, right. He's the big jerk who needs a punch to the face.

[Where's Ralph and his colossal hands when you need them...]

[tohko_amano]

Right. But I wouldn't try to punch him, if I were you. He's a lot tougher than you or I. I wouldn't fight him unless it's absolutely necessary.

[glitchinprincess]

Define necessary.

[She has this look like she is coming up with some Very Bad Ideas...]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko patted her head as she spoke.]

For Jason, it would be when there are no other options available and when you can't run. The Administrators have been able to pull god-like entity's here without so much as a scratch, so fighting them isn't really recommended..unless you really need to.

[glitchinprincess]

[Vanellope gave Tohko an odd look.]

"God-like enti".. whatsits? Why are they even bringing all these people here in the first place? It's weird.
