Welcome back to hell...

Characters: Siira

speaks_dirty and OPEN
Setting: Room 1-09, 39th Floor Gymnasium, 3rd Floor Library
Format: Action
Summary: Siira’s back in the tower and not happy.
Warnings: Swearing, her mouth is rather foul.

Room 1-09

[Waking up from sleep paralysis was a thing she had almost forgotten about. Happily, forgotten about, she‘d add. Waking up in the tower was more welcome than she‘d thought it would be. The remaining screams of the dead Planet still ringing in her ears. She was furious and feeling sick. And when it finally wore off, those in the room would be welcomed to the sound of an enraged yet equally agonized scream.]

FUCK!

[She coughs and gasps, already working on yanking off the white suit somewhat erratically and not caring about who is seeing her strip down to get it off. It‘s too confining. She hates being confined. A fear she‘d had since she was a child. Coughing and breathing heavily, calming down quickly as she can, she yanks open her trunk to grab one of her suits. There’s less in it this time but that‘s fine. She‘s only disappointed in the lack of a hand gun and she doesn‘t need one. That‘s why she was called Fist Fighter or Martial Arts among the Turks.]

39th Floor Gymnasium

[It was cold but she didn’t care. She grew up in Icicle and spent a lot of time there during the Geostigma Outbreak up there. Stripping off the jacket of her suit, she shivered and went into a few martial arts movements, warming her body up and relieving some of her anger before she lost her temper with someone. It doesn’t help so she moved on to the weights, swearing as she discovered that they were unmarked.]

Screw it.

[She just grabs one of the nearest weights and swears again as she nearly dislocates her shoulder in trying to lift it. Not that one then. She searches again until she finds a few that are acceptable, setting them up on a bar bell and proceeding to lift weights until her rage has subsided, she’s covered in sweat,]

3rd Floor Library

[Pulling a pair of oval shaped glasses from the pocket of her suit, Siira look over the covers of several books until settling on one from Gaia, published by Bugenhagen no less. She had time to kill, let’s read.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Still..it must have been rough. But it's good to see that you made it out okay. And what do you mean by the plates?

[Tohko nodded at that explanation.]

Right..that makes sense. Since my daggers don't have slots for them, I guess I could put them on a bangle..thanks.

[Tohko sighed at that.]

Even if it has been a few years, I bet it still stings..and it is terrible that her death led to the deaths of countless more. It would be nice if you could resurrect it.

[And when Sephiroth's name was mentioned, Tohko just looked at the girl, shocked and stunned.]

Sephiroth?! Why on Earth did he do that? Did he think that by killing Aerith, he could be the new god of the planet?

Midgar was made of two levels. The slums and the plates. The slums were underneath the plates, little funding, the worst of the worst made a living down there. People like Don Corneo and his whores.

[That sounds awful, actually. Her mom was one of them but her mom was a saint otherwise. And she never went out with strange men.]

Not her fault. It's no ones fault. The Lifestream was acting up anyway, it could have been a precursor to the end.

[So she knew the general.]

You know about him. Why he did it, I don't entirely know. I wasn't there but I was there during Meteorfall. And that was his doing, she hoped to stop it.

[She did stop it.]

I see..that sounds terrible. I'm sorry you had to grow up in a place like that.

[Tohko nodded.]

I see..and I know a little bit about Sephiroth, but not everything. And..what was the Meteorfall?

Eh, it was nothin'. I could handle those people easily enough. They never stood a chance.

[The many bloody noses and broken bones she was responsible for would astound Tohko, she's sure.]

You don't want to know much more about him, trust me. Meteorfall was the approach of an enormous Meteor, summoned by the Black Materia, that would destroy the Planet.

[Glad Veld kept in contact with a few people in ShinRa or the old Turks would never have made it to Midgar in time to evac the citizens.]

[Tohko smiled and nodded at that.]

Well, that's good to hear!

[She then sighed and scratched her head.]

..I do want to know more, to be honest. But it's terrible that he would do something like that. I guess that's the kind of 'god' he wanted to be..

He was the spawn of Jenova. No other reason is needed. That thing is a parasite that's better off being thrown into the nearest black hole and crushed until not even a speck of it remains.

[She's exceptionally bitter about both Sephiroth and Jenova. Who knows why.]

..I heard about the experiments..and those were horrible..but how is the alien virus a parasite?

Who told you about them? Anyone that used to be here is still with ShinRa. They can't talk as freely as I can.

[Subtle way of finding out whose still here.]

From what I've heard, and I'll give you that it's only hearsay since I obviously wasn't around when the Calamity first came, it was Jenova's own cells that poisoned the Cetra and killed them off. It infected them and drove them insane. A normally peaceful people.

Cloud told me..and what's ShinRa?

[Tohko nodded as she heard and thought about this.]

I see..that's pretty terrible. Why did Jenova's cells do that? And why did people keep experimenting with them?

Damn, you ask a lot of questions. Not sure if that's just a book girl thing or if you're more'n that.

The ShinRa Electric Power Company, they provided power for the entire Planet and a military force that was completely unrivaled. And they did this through Mako energy, tapping into the Lifestream itself. The company itself fell during Meteorfall but it was coming back by my time, working alongside a couple of other groups and trying to fix what they fucked up.

As for Jenova and it's cells... Couldn't tell you. I avoided the scientists and their projects at every opportunity, even if I ended up tagging along with SOLDIER's once in awhile.

[Tohko sighed and scratched her head.]

Sorry..I come from a different universe, so I'm just curious about yours, that's all. But it's good that ShinRa is trying to fix their past mistakes! And alright then..I guess I'll just have to ask around and find out later. Thank you for telling me though!

Don't apologize. Ain't used to being asked a lot of questions, it's usually Tseng or Veld that answer things and that's only because they're the commanders.

I'm sure there are books here about it all, you can read up. No doubt there are plenty of books about ShinRa and its rise and fall.

Ah, alright then. And there probably are..I just haven't been able to find any until now. This library can be weird sometimes-shelves will vanish and books will disappear if you don't hold onto them. But I'm sure there's a few volumes about it..not that I'll stop asking questions.

Well, if I spot any, I'll set them aside for you. Where's your dorm room? I'll set outside the door there.

[Just a short nod, one born of habit from following orders.]

Asking questions is how you learn.

Really? I'd be happy if you would do that for me! Thank you so much..I'm in dorm room 1-09. Really, thank you. I would love to look at those books.

[A small chuckle.]

That is true..

[Completely ignoring everything for the room number and she laughs. Siira actually laughs which surprises herself after the months of loneliness she dealt with.]

Oh shit, you're kidding right? That's my room...

[And Tohko couldn't help but laugh at that as well..but it was more a happy laugh, surprised at this coincidence.]

That's a great coincidence! I guess you don't have to worry about dragging books to dorm rooms then. I haven't noticed you rooming with me before though..are you new to the Tower?

No worries at all, I'll just let them sit on top'a my trunk for you to grab whenever.

[She closes her eyes for a moment to think then shakes her head.]

Nah, ain't new. I was here months ago but they sent me back to what's left of the Planet. I used to be in room... 2-13. With Puru Two, she still around?

Oh..alright then. And I'll put them back as soon as I'm finished with them, so you don't have to worry about them.

[Tohko sighed and nodded.]

I see..I'm sorry to hear that. And Puru Two is still around! It's been awhile since I last saw her, but I did see her!

Sounds good to me.

[A grin crosses her face. Well, now she'd have to go and find her later.]

That's good. I was kind'a hoping I'd see a familiar face. Half a year without seein' anyone kind of sucked.

[Tohko smiled and nodded at that. She understood.]

I understand. It gets pretty lonely not seeing anyone that you know in a strange place.

I'm used to bein' lonely but yeah. It does.

[Tohko sighed and scratched her head.]

I'm sorry to hear that..loneliness isn't something that should be faced for too long. At least..that's what I think.

Well, I don't have t'worry about it anymore at least. Plenty of people around here to chat with and harass.

[She gave Tohko a smirk at that.]

[Tohko smiled and chuckled nervously at that.]

Well..I'm not sure about harassing them, but it's good that you have a lot of new friends here!
