Characters: Jr. and You!
Setting: Room 4-08/Dormitory Floor, Library, Cafeteria, Anywhere Else.
Format: Action to start but will match.
Summary: Junior wakes up in the tower and this story is seriously too stupid to be true. At least this is what he thinks and he set off to explore and find out who's behind this all. If only he knew...
Warning: An overpowered derp looking younger than he actually is. Aside from that, nothing so far.


• Room 4-08 / Dormitory Floor
[ Anyone entering room 04-08 will see what appears to be a kid reading the letters he got upon waking up in the tower. he's already clothed in his wannabe western attire of course, and holds a gun firmly in his hand as he reads-- Needless to say, anyone entering the room as he reads will get no less than a gun pointed at their face.

That and he doesn't believe for a second the story that his universe got destroyed. Like hell after all the word they had done specifically to prevent it from being destroyed.

... Or that would really be no luck. ]

Bah.

[ After a while inspecting the room and finding nothing of interest, he goes out and set to explore, starting by the dormitory floors. ]

• Library (Third Floor)
[ Before long the URTV stopped by the library floor and spotted one of these oh so useful network terminal. You know, the terminals everyone can use without any problems, even those who are not familiar with technology can learn with ease its use. And he comes from the far future. Good, a way as any to start getting information on this strange tower. He starts typing in when: ]

Wrong command input. Please try again.

Huh?

[ He sighs and types back on the machine. This time the terminal makes a loud, obnoxious error noise. The kind of noise you'd expect from an old version of Windows probably. No one knows how he manages to get that much fail from the machines. ]

Wrong command input. Please try again.

Ah come on now! What daya mean mean wrong command input?!

[ He sighs, types faster and annoyingly, only to worsen the result. ]

Fatal error. Immediate shutdown.

Wha--?

[ Suddenly the terminal shuts down completely after the warning appeared on the screen, not without noise. Add to that, a strange black smoke elevates from the terminal along with the smell of burnt computers.

And lo, the URTV is walking away discreetly, whistling as if nothing happened. It's not him who ruined the terminal, he swears. Really. ]

• Cafeteria (First Floor)
[ Have an URTV looking at his oatmeal with... Let's say a confused and wary look. Suspicious. This thing looks worse than anything the Elsa crew cooked before. He pokes at it with his fork.

...

Trying to smell it. ]

Man, why do all the weird places got to have poor quality food?

[ Bah. At least it's still looking better than the nutrition bars people around are eating. ]

• Anywhere Else
[ You will find a twelve years old looking kid walking throughout the tower in an attire way too reminiscent of old westerns, looking at the different stuff in the tower, poking at whatever useful things he might find (it's hard to believe he's actually older than he looks).

Oh and possibly addressing people to get some semblance of answer. ]

Comments

Library

[doctor_dismemberment]

[Jr. won't be able to get away that easily. A voice, deadpan and coming from one of the nearby bookshelves, rings out as he starts to walk away.]

What the fuck are you doing.

[It's not even a question. Just a statement of pure disbelief coming from Richtofen, who has an eyebrow arched as he stares at the newcomer.]

[urtv]

[ Under normal circumstances Jr. may have apologized, act childish and all. But here he is prisoner of this damn tower, that dude used the F-word out of the blue and his attire is just... Blargh. Obvious lack of taste man. ]

And who the fuck are you old man?

[ Probably the start of a great friendship right there. ]

[doctor_dismemberment]

Have some respect for your elders, child! [Richtofen bristles and bares his teeth.] I am the great Dr. Richtofen, not some lowly old man!

[He takes a step forward, snapping shut a book he has in his hand.]

How did you even do that? [He glances toward the smoking network terminal without even waiting for the kid to give his own name (the kid who, for the record, can take his cowboy-looking behind out of Richtofen's well-dressed personal bubble, mm-mm girlfriend).]

[urtv]

Well excuse me Dr. Old Man.

[ Hear the sarcasm in the voice? That's the absolute lack of damn Jr. gives for the great doctor. If anything he stats reminding him of his father. Which is never good. ]

Heh, guess I pushed the wrong buttons. But these guys should manage to repair it.

[ Hands crossed behind his head and smiling. Still a total lack of taste doc. ]

Cafeteria

[uzuki]

[Shion had taken to stocking up on an armful of nutrition bars at a time, so she didn't have to return the cafeteria that much (since most people there look pretty miserable). This time, though, that bright red hair catches her eye, and she makes a little detour over to his table.]

Jr.?

[urtv]

[ It's precisely at the moment when he was about to taste the oatmeal that he heard Shion's voice. She definitely gets point for saving him. ]

Hm? Shion!

[ He smiles and nods. ]

You're here too!

[uzuki]

Yes.

[She drops her nutrition bars on the table for now.]

Did you just arrive here? How was Allen? Did you all know I was missing?

[Fingers crossed he's from her time~]

[urtv]

Wow wow there! Wait a minute!

[ What is this wit people assaulting him with questions today when he's probably the one with the less answers. ]

Yep I've just arrived here, last time I've seen him Allen was his usual nervous and worried self nevermind that he keeps worrying mostly for you and er, you were missing...?

Hrm well, if you were, no one noticed...

[ Woops. ]

Library

[lightofhumanity]

[chaos watched the whole display from a corner, and while he was happy to see a familiar face, he couldn't help but chuckle as Jr. wrecked the machine. It brought back memories. As he tried to sneak away, he walked out from the corner he was hiding in.] Jr., you haven't changed, have you? You should be a little kinder to the machines. I am sure that it is not easy to repair them.

[urtv]

Ah... Hey I'm sorry, I just tried to-

[ He turns to the voice and only then realizes who spoke these words. Of course he had recognized the voice, but seeing him there and now.. ]

chaos...?

[ Genuinely surprised and relieved expression. After all, where he came from chaos was kind of missing. Maybe even dead by their standards. ]

[lightofhumanity]

It is alright. Just be careful in the future.

[By Jr.'s reaction, and his senses, chaos could tell that this was not the same Jr. he had left in his timeline. He just had to find out how far back or forward this one was.]

Yes, it's chaos. It is nice to see you again too, Jr. However, I have a very important question for you. What was the last thing that happened to you before you came to the Tower? Be as specific as you can.

Library

[facedthetruth]

*He was just trying to read for a while, to take his mind off the cold...but no, someone has to come in and start shouting at a terminal. Wait...he knows that voice. And that utter fail at figuring out new technology.

So, Jr., a certain semi-retired soldier is walking up as you try to sneak off.*

Your responsibility never ceases to amaze me, brat.

[urtv]

[ Jr. turns upon hearing the familiar voice- After chaos now he was kind of wary. ]

Margulis?

What're you doing here?

[ What was it, the day of the walking dead? Unlike for chaos though, there is no relief upon seeing him. After all the Margulis he remembers was kind of a douche who killed tons of people for breakfast. ]

[facedthetruth]

*That's supposed to be his question. The last time he saw you, you'd faded off into Albedo's subconscious. But seeing as nobody else here makes sense, he'll let it slide.*

I was attempting to read, before you started shouting. And evidently destroying one of the few useful objects our captors have provided us with, as well.

Dormitory floors

[temptestament]

*Familiar consciousnesses sure are multiplying, aren't they? Well, may as well go check it out. By now, Allen's come to expect people to be from an alternate Recurrence where he didn't die (and even if they aren't, does it really matter by now if they know his face?), so he approaches Jr., fading out of nowhere with his mask of and hood down.*

They really like our set of universes, don't they?

[urtv]

Allen?

[ It's okay by now he's used to the idea of seeing people from home. The set of universes reccurence is lost on him though. ]

It's good to see you man, but... What's this ridiculous costume for?

[ You're not a testament Allen stop pretending. ]

[temptestament]

Well, that answers that.

This ridiculous costume is my uniform. I'm from a different sequence of events from you where I died three years ago.

Library

[oforder]

[ It was hard to ignore that racket, even if Wilhelm himself was at the complete opposite end of the library from where Jr. was. Well. Everyone was showing up now, weren't they? And if Jr. was here... perhaps Albedo was, as well. Muting the phonograph, Wilhelm quietly got to his feet, not even the slightest bit bothered by the cold. ]

It is interesting, isn't it?

[ He would be standing there, perfectly still, as Jr. turned around to leave the terminal behind. ]

As humanity advances, that which others in this Tower have found to be a vision of the future their world has been denied, to us, becomes so primitive that we do not know how to operate it.

[ Well. You don't, apparently. He still does. ]

[urtv]

[ Congratulation Wilhelm, you're the first person in this tower that managed to get Junior to pull his gun out on sight. And point them on you. Shion may be as kind as trying to understand and forgive.

Unfortunately that's another matter with Jr. ]

You!

[ He turns to him and scowl. yep, he remembers it all alright. The way he had been powerless to help Shion, the way he had tortured Shion, how he had tried to turn KOS-MOS against them. ]

You freaking bastard! I should've known you were behind all that stuff.

[oforder]

Put them away, Rubedo. You know that it takes far more than bullets to kill me.

[ 'Kill me' itself being a misleading phrase. Even in this place. He doesn't appear even the slightest bit intimidated, but at the same, he seems to be making no attempt to defend himself, either. ]

Have you not noticed something about me? I am wearing the same collar you are. I am trapped here, just as you are.

4-08, hi thurr B)

[seconddaughter]

[It stood to reason for MOMO, with enough sensory ability to potentially keep physical track of everyone in the tower if she really wanted to, that one of the first courses of action should be to do a few scans and see if she could pick out anything, or anyone, familiar. One wavelength in particular stood out like a pillar of fire in a forest at night -- really, Jr. was hard to miss even if she wasn't functioning at her best.

She makes the short trek upstairs and only takes a brief moment to knock softly on the door; while normally she'd think twice before waiting for permission to enter someone's room, this was a special case.]

Jr--

[She calls out to him with a heavy note of concern in her voice... before being unceremoniously greeted with the butt of a gun.]

Ahhhh! Wait, don't shoot!

HIII- SOB He's very sorry for that gun. Really.

[urtv]

[ That's the problem with stressed out and wary URTVs, they tend to shoot first, ask questions later. Well, thankfully enough Jr. isn't that extreme. Yet when MOMO enters the room she does indeed get greeted by a gun pointed at her. ]

Don't mov-- [A pause and lo, an incredulous look on his face.] What? MOMO!?

[ Oops. That was bad. Last time already he had jumped down on Shion thinking she was an enemy-- And now MOMO? Maybe he should start working on his reflexes.

Needless to say he immediately lowers the gun down and walks to her. Looking both surprised and sorry. More sorry than surprised. And relieved to see her, but this goes without saying. ]

Ah, I-I'm sorry! I thought you were an enemy, hadn't seen it was you.

[ And now to quickly pretend this does not happen and make sure she's fine. ]

But how are you?

anywhere else

[wasjustascratch]

[He'll find a figure dressed in familiar clothes just sitting in the lounge and looking outside the tower, despite how futile the attempt to see anything beyond the fog. His hair was let loose from the usual tight and neat ponytail though and his sword lay across his legs. He knew that Junior was there though.]

[urtv]

Hey there, do you--

[ Jr. walked up to the man, he had not recognized him at first, but before long-- ]

Jin?!

[wasjustascratch]

[There's a sigh from the Testament as Junior practically hollers his name. He'd almost forgotten just how loud the URTV tended to be. Quickly, he takes a tie and pulls his hair back before standing and strapping his sword around his waist.]

Another person that knows me when they shouldn't.
