23:30:00
Silent dormitory rooms are lined with bodies--not dead, just sleeping. Throughout the tower it is pitch black and silent. At the base of the tower, countless shining eyes, watching.

23:45:00
The tower hums to life. Lights blink on in one by one; only the dormitory rooms remain dark. A small army of blank-faced humanoids appear and spend the next ten minutes taking various positions around the tower.

23:59:00
An order given. The dormitory room lights blink on.

00:00:00
You are awake.

00:00:30
You can move.

No.

Hell no.

This . . . this was stupid. Immediately it was stupid, because Spain was here shouting about pirates and he didn't know where he was and what the hell was he wearing and why did he have a collar around his neck and this wasn't even his bed. His bed was way more comfortable than this one!

Still, with a quiet groan he rolls over, shoving his head under the pillow and pulling the blankets up all of the way. Suddenly he didn't want to know any of the answers.

[thisclinchesit]

Shoutarou stands up at the sudden noise, clothes in-hand.

"Pirates?" He looks over at Fletcher, then to Spain. And hey, the person in the other bed is moving around too.

[koyo]

He stops tugging at the collar and stares up at the ceiling from the ground. That isn't his ceiling. No, it's missing his slow turning fan and. . . this isn't his light pouring into the room either. It isn't until he hears someone repeat what he said that Spain realizes he isn't alone.

Scrambling onto his knees, he looks over the bed at the strangers. "Who are you?"

[greennotgold]

"Um-- I'm Fletcher," Fletcher said. He stood back up, holding his clothes again. "S-sorry... we don't know where we are, the letters said-- they said the world was d-destroyed and someone saved us..."

Ugh I keep using the wrong journal pfft

[gezellighe.livejournal.com]

. . . the letters said what? Netherlands has only been hearing bits of pieces through the pillow over his head, but the boy's words catch his attention immediately. He sits up, pillow in his lap.

"The world was what . . . what letter, where . . . " He starts looking around.

[thisclinchesit]

Shoutarou sighs, pushing his hat up a bit. "The kid's right - the letters are on your nightstands," he answers, tipping his head toward the other two men.

"We woke up here in these really strange clothes, and it seems they put a bunch of our stuff in these trunks," he adds, kicking at his trunk lightly for emphasis. "Whoever 'they' are."

[koyo]

"Ah, Holanda! You're here too." Spain exclaims before returning his attention to fletcher and Shoutarou. "What do you mean. . ." He begins and as the information is shared, he leans up to find the letter on his nightstand for the letter.

He reads the letter. It's simple and to the point but it left questions unanswered. He looks up from the letter at the others in the room and then looks back before folding it and placing it down beside him. "Is there anyone else here?" Any of his people? Any of his friends? Anyone?

[greennotgold]

Those two knew each other? Fletcher feels a bit of secondhand relief for them. That would at least make it easier.

"I-I don't know," he says. "We haven't left the room yet, so m-maybe..." Maybe Russel is here. He just hasn't looked yet...

[gezellighe.livejournal.com]

"If we only just woke up, how would we know." His tone is irritated as he answers Spain's question too, reading over the letter with his own eyes. He didn't want to believe it but there was something that struck him as easily as if he'd been hit across the face -- he couldn't sense his people, not a single one.

Holland swallows, sitting quiet as he ponders such an odd feeling for a long moment as the others talk. As if needing to hold on to something, he moves to the end of the bed, opening the trunk to see what was there. He saw some familiar clothes, other things (cigarettes god zij dank), but box with holes in the top taking up quite a bit of space grabs his attention.

"Ach!" The sound is sounds somewhere between surprised and completely offended, and he reaches quickly into the trunk to carefully pull out the box and take the lid off. A small furry creature looks up at him; Holland is quickly picking the rabbit up and making sure he's okay, petting him, running his finger between the bunny's ears and making quiet sounds that sound quite like he's comforting the rabbit, which is exactly what he's doing.

Carry on, roomates. He's having a moment.

[thisclinchesit]

Shoutarou nods when Fletcher speaks again. "Yeah, we don't know yet. For all we know, we could be the only ones, but I hope that's not the case."

The rabbit scene is a bit odd, but Shoutarou shrugs it off, turning to his bed. He tosses his clothes and hat onto it, then promptly starts to fiddle with his jumpsuit. "Now how do I get this damn thing off? I've had less clingy clients..."

[koyo]

"Well!" Spain replies with a smile, looking at Fletcher, "We'll all get dressed and go out and explore, hm? We'll find out what's going on here, don't worry."

The bunny scene might appear odd to some, but to Spain, he only sees how cute it is. "Buhyoo!" He exclaims, gushing over the scene. But everyone seems to be going for their trunks and now he wants to see what's in his. He fiddles with it and looks back at Shoutarou. "Is there a zipper?" He asks. There's a small, ah hah! as he gets his trunk open and. . .

Tomatoes. Everywhere. A few rolling onto the floor. It looks like the trunk is full of them.

[greennotgold]

A rabbit! Why was there a rabbit in that trunk. It's so cute... Fletcher stares for a moment, before starting to wonder how they're all going to change if there's no partitions in the room to hide behind, and then his attention goes to the tomatoes.

Everyone else's trunks are weird.

Once Holland was sure that Poffertje was in good shape and wasn't hurt or afraid, he listened to the conversation around him. Spain's trunk seemed as useless as the man himself, but he was glad for his own belongings. Spain, though, had actually made a good suggestion. Besides, Poffertje needed water; his water bottle was in the box but it was empty.

He starts taking his clothes out of the chest.

[thisclinchesit]

Shoutarou plans to face the wall. He hopes he has underwear on under this thing - the way it fits, it's hard to tell. "Ah, yeah, there's a zipper..." he says, mostly to himself. He misses the tomatopocalypse while he fiddles with his suit, unzipping it enough so that he can try and wriggle his arms out, which seems to be an oddly difficult exercise.

[koyo]

Spain's trunk is perfectly acceptable.

Before he can even realize it, everyone is beginning to change. Well, he wants to change too! While everyone else is stripping and changing into their clothes, Spain is taking the tomatoes out of his trunk, trying to find some clothes. In almost no time, there's a pile of tomtos beside him, lollipops, and a soccer ball. He's working his way to the bottom, okay.

[greennotgold]

Aaah, everyone else is changing. Fletcher quickly turns away from all of them and fumbles with his suit. Eventually he figures out that it's stretchy enough to just pull down over his body; after that, it's not long until he's put his nice, normal clothes on.

And the hat. Can't forget the hat.

[gezellighe.livejournal.com]

The Netherlands, so far, has managed to get the top part of his suit off without setting Poffertje down; the rest, though, isn't going to come off so easily so he sets the rabbit down on the foot of the bed, setting a few straws of hay next to him. Poffertje immediately begins nibbling and if anybody were paying attention, they might see a slight smile of satisfaction on Holland's face. Yes, the rabbit seemed fine. This was very important to him. He takes a shirt out of the chest and tugs it on, glancing over at Spain while buttoning it; he was never overtly concerned with personal nakedness.

"If I didn't know better I'd say you packed such useless things yourself." He mentions to Spain, with a frown.

[thisclinchesit]

A bit more awkward fumbling, and Shoutarou is free from the suit. Skintight suits are so much more easy to deal with when they work via transformation.

Quite shortly, Shoutarou is back in his element with his usual clothing fare, and the all-important black fedora. The catsuit is folded clumsily and put in the trunk. He gathers what's part of his usual working gear, then closes it. Afterwards, he puts his watch on, leaning against the bed. "That's much better."

[koyo]

"If you want some candy, you just have to ask, Holanda. But I didn't pack anything." Spain replies, emptying the rest of the trunk. A soccer ball rolls across the room, a gun lies besides the tomatoes, the change of clothes tossed onto the bed, and he stares curiously at the sword as he draws it. "I wonder who decided what we'd get. . . What did everyone else get?"
