towerofanimus | 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

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!

[Half the fun in having friends was harassing them, though! Especially among the Turks!]

And I can make some if I want.

[Tohko didn't like being harassed though..but she wasn't going to stop you either..]

Yup! There are a lot of nice people here that you can be friends with. Hopefully I'll get to be one of those people for you.

[Tohko would have to learn Turk fun then.]

Who knows, maybe you will!

[She winks and laughs. Tohko was pretty useful to have around so it was a good chance.]

[Since Tohko doesn't even know what sort of Turks Siira would be referring to, it would be a good chance. At the words, the laugh, and the wink, Tohko returned the chuckle, but not the wink.]

Well, if I did, that would be rather nice!

And I'm not that hard to get along with, once you get to know me.

[Those parts of herself that people were allowed to know. Even after having left the Turks, parts of her life were kept to herself and her work history was a private thing. Which was half the reason she and the girls had just opened up a bar in Junon.]

[At that, Tohko chuckled.]

Well, you don't seem like a hard person to get along with, even now!

[Tohko hid the fact that she couldn't taste normal food from most of everyone, so she could deal with the fact that someone else wasn't that open with their life.]
