The Book Girl is back!~

Characters: Tohko Amano and whoever else wants to pop in!
Setting: 25th of December, all around the Tower.
Format: I'm starting in prose, but I'll match you!
Summary: After waking up on the 25th, Tohko finds that she had regained her senses and that the voices in her head no longer bother her. Excited, she lives it up.
Warnings: None that I can think of at the moment!

When Tohko woke up on Christmas, she was surprised, to say the least. She could feel the bed beneath her, and the monsters in her head were quiet. She opened her eyes..and found that she could see. "I can see..I can feel..I'm normal again!" Tears started falling down her face, but instead of sorrow, they fell in pure joy. On her nightstand was a basket of fruit and..her old book club mailbox, the one she had used long ago, hoping to help people in love and get sweet stories out of it. Maybe she should set up the book club again..however, first, Tohko got changed into a white dress and happily ran out of her dorm room, looking around, feeling everything, and happy to be alive. Jason hadn't managed to break this one. Feel free to interact with her.

On the third floor library, you might hear someone in a back corner ripping out pages in a book. If you look, you'll see Tohko, eating The Little Prince and smiling happily, unaware of the world. It tasted delicious, so delicious! She had forgotten how wonderful her books were, in both content and taste! She was just happy to see them again, to read them again, to feel and taste them again.

Tohko will be randomly wandering around the Tower's many floors, taking in everything again happily. You'll hear her chuckling to herself as she wanders around. Feel free to bother her wherever you want.

[Shiki was coming to check on Tohko since he felt a little bit of responsibility on how well/unwell she might have gotten in the meantime.

Since she ran out of her dorm in front of him, he just assumed she was doing just fine.]

I take it that things are going well.

[Tohko turned towards Shiki and gave him the biggest grin.]

Yes! I've fully recovered! I can feel, I can see, I can taste, and those horrid voices are gone! Thank you so much for your help back when I needed it. I'm really happy that you wandered in and helped me.

Don't thank me too much. I was just doing what anyone else would do.

Maybe..but it was still kind of you, so I wanted to thank you. Oh! By the way..if I'm not mistaken, I thought I heard you taking off your bandages. Why do you wear them if you can still see, if you don't mind my asking?

[He opened his mouth to say he did mind someone asking. But he'd be eating his owns words he had said to Satsuki earlier about secrets.]

...the human brain isn't meant to see certain things. When it sees those things, it starts to slowly overload. It'll kill the person before long.

[Tohko sighed and nodded.]

I see..I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not sure how that happened to you, but that is pretty terrible.

[Tohko patted Shiki on the head.] So you hide your eyes to extend your lifespan.

[He certainly wasn't used to being patted.]

I hide my eyes to keep from going insane.

[Tohko nodded.]

Ah, I see..that's pretty terrible too..but why did you make it sound like you were going to die quicker then? Or is the insanity only the first step?

Insanity would be the first step. With the bandages, I can at least hold that off but my life is already cut short.

But it's not a bad thing so don't worry.

[Tohko managed to give a small smile when she heard that.]

Well..at least you can live the rest of your life being sane. And it's a bit sad..but I'll try not to worry too much.

[Lies.]

I know what you're thinking but...everything dies. If you linger on everything, it'll just get you nowhere.

I know that everything dies and that it's not a wholly bad thing. Being immortal is quite painful, and some people long for death. However, that doesn't mean I won't be a little bit sad if you go.

[Have another pat on the head.]

Why do you keep...patting my head?

Oh..to comfort you. I'm sorry if it bothered you. I didn't mean to.

Something tells me I'm a little too old for that.

But no one should be so old that they can't get a pat on the head or a hug.

I'm just not used to it. But it definitely seems like something you can get too old for.

Ah, alright then..but I don't think there's ever a point where you can get too old for it. At least..if there is, I don't know it.

...I probably shouldn't be so stingy with friends.

Oh, you're not being stingy! Don't worry about it. I guess it's a normal thing to worry about.

[One more for good measure.]

I'll just take your word for it.

Ah, alright then.

I should leave you to enjoy yourself again, now that you're back to normal.

[Tohko shook her head and grinned.]

Actually, I'd have a lot more fun if you spent some time with me. Of course, you don't have to if you don't want to, but I'm sure there's still some snow on the ground. A snowball fight in the meadow could be a lot of fun!

There's two questions here. Do you really want to throw snowballs at someone who can't see and do you really want to have a snowball fight with a supposedly accomplished assassin?

Ack! I'm sorry..the fact escaped my head for a minute. It would be pretty hard to have a snowball fight with someone who can't see..but a snowball fight with an accomplished assassin would be fun!

[..Tohko..]

What you're saying is that you can't decide.

Possibly..I guess it all boils down to one question: Can you still fight with your bandages on?

Can I? I wonder...

[Poking fun now.]

[Tohko lightly chuckled at that.]

I guess there's only one way to find out!

I guess there is only one way.

Well, then let's go! This time, I'll help you up the stairs, if you need my help.

I don't need the help, honestly.

[Tohko nodded.]

Alright then! To the twenty-fifth floor we go then!

[And there goes Tohko. She could be quite fast when she wanted to be.]

[Shiki takes his time going up the stairs. Hurrying is just no good.]

[Tohko waited patiently for Shiki to climb up.]

Are you sure you don't need my help?

I've been doing this for a while so I'm pretty sure I can do it a while longer.

Well..alright then. But don't be afraid to ask for help, alright?

[Tohko kept going up the stairs, but kept an eye on Shiki.]

I'll ask for help when I actually need it.

[Tohko smiled and nodded.]

Alright then!

[She kept going up the stairs as usual then, but not as fast as she did the first time around.]
