towerofanimus | If I can no longer feel a thing..

Characters: Tohko Amano and anyone who wanders by.
Setting: Dorm Room 1-09.
Format: Starting in prose, but I'll match you!
Summary: Tohko wakes up to find that she's lost her flu symptoms..and her ability to feel things.
Warnings: None right now.

When Tohko woke up that morning, if she hadn't know that she had fallen asleep in her own bed last night, she would have worried about where she was. She couldn't feel the bed beneath her, the freezing cold, and she couldn't tell if she was still running a fever or not. She couldn't feel a thing, and since she couldn't see anything either, she was afraid to leave her bed and move about. She could hear things..but that was about it. She couldn't use her crutch anymore, and it wasn't like she would be able to tell where walls were. Scared and sad, due to being cut off from everything she liked, Tohko began to cry..not that she could feel the tears. She could only hear her sobs. Out of desperation, she cried out.

"Please, is anyone there? If you can hear me..please, talk to me! I..I need your help."

Tohko heard someone come into the room and quickly rubbed at her eyes, trying to calm down. It was weird trying to wipe at them when you couldn't feel them. However, she did recognize the voice, even though it sounded like the owner was sick..and even though she didn't know the owners name.

"Ah, I remember you..thank you for coming in. I'm sorry..but I can't see or feel anything anymore. Could you help get me up?"

Kyoko's eyes widened as Tohko explained, an involuntary shiver running down her spine--from the cold, of course. Her first thought was the cold, but by that point you're already good as dead. It didn't explain the blindness either.

"Just what the Hell did ya do to lose all the feeling in your body?" Her voice was loud and accusatory, taking heavy steps towards the bed. When she reached it, she took one of Tohko's hand, tugging it away and squeezing it just hard enough to try and make her flinch or draw back; some reaction to show that this was all some kind of bullshit prank. "C'mon. I got your hand, so try and get up." A moment. She wasn't entirely sure how to handle this sort of situation. "I'm not gonna let ya fall or whatever."

Tohko sighed. "I don't know. It started with a cold that was like the flu..but at this point, I really don't know why I can't see or feel."

Tohko didn't flinch or draw back-she wouldn't have even been aware that the girl was holding her hand if she hadn't said so. Tohko nodded her head and smiled.

"Ah, thank you very much! I'm really sorry about this.."

Carefully, using her memory, Tohko turned her whole body and then forced herself to stand up out of bed. She wasn't sure if she succeeded though.]

"The flu...?" Kyoko loosened her grip upon getting no reaction. True to her word, she kept enough of a grip on Tohko to ensure that she wouldn't fall flat on the floor. At that moment, something clicked. "That bastard! Just what kind of sick game is he playing!?"

She'd seen it on the network and confirmed that this cold was a work of the admins. She'd even understood that it came along with some unusual side effects, but the idea of losing her senses made her blood run cold.

Tohko sighed. Since she hadn't heard her body hit the floor, she assumed that she was still standing up, which was good.

"I have no idea. However, he probably does this just because he enjoys it. Or he wants to see how we all operate under different, horrible conditions."

"If he thinks he can just toy with people's lives, he's got another thing coming! People like him are the ones who piss me off the most, y'know." She glanced to Tohko, biting her lower lip. She didn't like the idea of allying herself with somebody like this, but even in her frustration, she knew it couldn't hurt to hear more about what this guy was planning. Not when it was hitting so close to home.

After a few seconds, suddenly tired of the room's scenery, she added:

"Tch. I'm gonna start walking now, so try and keep up. Where ya headed, anyway?"

"There are probably people worse than Jason..but if I ever run into him and Ruana, they're both getting slapped. Turning people into Oba Yozo's is terrible."

Tohko sighed and gave a small smile. The girl didn't sound too happy about having to help her out.

"Alright..I will! And I was going to head to the cafeteria and then the library. Even if I can't feel hunger, if I don't eat something, I'll die of starvation. And I'm sorry that you have to deal with this."

That managed to pull a mischievous smile out of Kyoko. She made a faint, amused noise, nodding as she led Tohko along. It was still annoying, but at least she didn't take on the hopelessly passive attitude that some of them did. It wasn't like she could exactly blame the girl for what was happening to her, anyhow.

"Heh, as long as you stick to that promise, I don't mind too much. 'Sides, I was already headed that way, y'know."

Tohko smiled at her words as she walked with Kyoko, trying her best to use her memory and not bump into anything.

"Don't worry, I'll stick to that promise! And alright then..I guess we'll be heading the same way for awhile then."
