towerofanimus | I am sick and my life is weird as usual

Who: Shiki Tohno and YOU (Closed on 20th for that girl who wasn't in Tsukihime)
What: Well, when a sickly boy gets sick, this tends to happen.
When: Around the 15th – 20th
Where: Floor 2, Floor 4, Floor 14
Warning: Not much as of the moment.

[Floor 2;]
[He's been feeling a bit under the weather lately. Kinda par for the course considering how cold the blasted tower's getting lately, but eh, nothing he can't do about it right now. He's not exactly that type of guy to fix things when it's broken anyways.

So he's going to focus on fixing himself by heading to the infirmary and trying to find at the very least normal medicine, anything to get this pounding headache out of his head.]

[Floor 4;]
[For some reason, he's been around this floor for a bunch of times already, probably because he tends to be too tired to get himself up to the meadow floor. Not that he liked standing in an empty meadow for an extended period of time and stare soulfully at the distance, contemplating his life and crap, but it just gets... boring after a while.

Well, whatever, the chair here's a bit comfortable, and at least he can bundle up with the animal pelt he got and cleaned by killing one of the wild animals.

Sometimes it's just necessary for surviving you know.

But this sickness sure isn't going away isn't it?]

[Floor 14; 20th of December; CLOSED for that girl whose name I forgot]
[...Dammit, is the glass getting weaker, or is he just hallucinating? He kept seeing lines of death on everything he saw today, but it was only a fragment of a second before they disappeared, as it should be. It was still confusing to him, though, as he just plopped down in one of the chair in the Media room and turned on the TV, the cold getting a bit unbearable for him as he was forced to sit and rub his hands to at least give himself some warmth.

Static greeted him from the TV, but it doesn't matter, he just needs to be there for a while.

Unless someone walked in at least.]

[ Floor 14. Floor 8. These are the two places she frequents most in the hopes of running into a certain someone. A prearranged agreement that they would meet up here whenever they wished to see each other. So it's only natural that Satsuki spends most (if not all) of her time here. Having been caught off guard by seeing the familiar black hair, she approaches him quickly with a wave. ]

Tohno-kun, good eve--[ Wait, where were the bandages? He was so adamant about wearing them that it surprises her to see him without. ] Sorry, there's just something different about you today that took me by surprise.

Not that it's a bad surprise. I'm happy to see you.

[...The familiar voice shook him off his attempt to keep himself warm, at the very least he's not that sick to forgot just whose face it belonged to. Turning to face her, the boy just gave a slight smile of confusion when she mentioned something about him being different than usual.

...

Nah, must be his feeling.]

Aa, I'm glad to see that you're doing well here, too.

The cold doesn't bother me much.

[ Pros of already being "dead": you're dead. Among other things. ] So I haven't gotten sick like so many of the others here.

Oh! You're not ill, are you? [ Peering towards him. ] I don't trust the doctors here to help if you are.

No, I'm-

[There's a bit of lightheaded-ness as for a second, lines, cracks appeared on Yumizuka-san's figure, but he pushed it away in order to make it seem that he's alright.

And not falling all over himself to prove that his anemia is not acting up at the moment.]

Alright, yeah.

You are sick.

[ There's a bit of conviction behind her words as her hands ball up into fists. She's not angry at him, but more upset that this place has caused him to fall ill. ]

Why aren't you in bed resting?

I'm kind of used to these kind of things, remember?

[Like the times he often forced himself a little bit too much and collapsed more than half the time he was in school.]

This isn't that bad, honestly.

[ School is one thing. It's necessary to attend or else he might receive negative marks as a result. This place is optional. ]

You shouldn't be up. [ Faltering back into the weak girl she's used to being, Satsuki struggles with doing what is best for him and what she can do as his friend. There is a line that can't be cut after all. ] It's not healthy.

You do realize you're starting to sound like my mother, right?

[There's a sigh from him as he's getting up from his chair, but other than that, he's doing nothing else at the moment.]

[ Smiling...
Because boys often like girls who remind them of their mother. All according to plan huehuehue. ]

Sorry, but it's my responsibility to watch over you now. If you refuse to take your health seriously, then I'm going to have to do that for you.

How? By tying me to the bed?

[Teasing as it sounded, he knew that she wouldn't go to such drastic measures.

Right?]

By sitting on you.

[ Laughing after that. ] Just kidding! I'll find a way, Tohno-kun.

[...That first sentence sent his common sense careening downwards and shattering before he picked himself up from that lame joke.]

That was so lame that I think a comedian would die if he heard it.

Then we could cut him up and use his insides for body heat.

[ Erk. ] I saw that in a movie once, but it doesn't sound that great when said out loud.

And now you're just skirting into thriller territory!

[That was way out of the left field!!!]

[ It was easier to say that than to say "we cuddle together for warmth". ]

S-Sorry, sorry! I take it back!

[Ever get that feeling that someone dangerous came in but you didn't see them walk in?

Oh well, it's not like there's any dangerous intent directed at Shiki but Satsujinki strolls in, wrapped up in a dark cloak. At least he can know that...his own self is in the room.]

Yo.

[chaos wandered into the infirmary yet again. Since people were getting sick, they tended to wander in here, and since chaos wanted to help however he can, he wandered in there as well. He sensed and saw a familiar boy in the room and smiled.]

I am glad to see you made it out of the maze. Are you feeling well? Need some help?

[Kinda hard not to notice your own voice speaking. Well, after you're used to it, at least. Though that did get Shiki's attention as he looked up from just chilling in the room.]

Oh, uh. Yo.

[Still a bit awkward, though, talking to your older self like that.]

[SIGH. Calming down, calming down...! He's not talking with Arihiko, so calm down...]

Look, it's not really your fault, alright?

[...God, why does he has to keep doing this...]

Are you surviving this chill? I know it doesn't really get that cold in Japan so who knows how used to it you are.

I'm just worried about you, Tohno-kun. If you don't rest any, how will you get better? If you don't get better, your condition will worsen, and then...

[ Oh no, she's thinking irrationally once again. ] Sorry, but I want to help you feel better. Please let me!

[There's an actually amused smile on Shiki's face as he saw her being easily flustered by her own words.]

It won't get that bad, really.

[Course, he knew that convincing her to NOT worry is another thing entirely.]

I'm getting by, yeah.

[At least he's not collapsing everywhere yet.]

How do you know it won't? With the temperature dropping more and more, it's becoming difficult to find warmth anywhere. Then everyone is going to have to snuggle together for warmth and they might make you sicker. If not that, then you might make them sick too!

Have you tried staring a fire...or does this floor start up some extinguishers when that happens?

Haven't tried anything yet, but I have a feeling that something bad would happen if I did.

[Just him being a normal guy trying to endure everything else this tower has.]
