towerofanimus | This is really all just crap timing, ain't it.

Characters: The Psiioniic and yoouuuu.
Setting: Dormitory floor 4, and floor three, but if you want to run into him as he wanders, feel free!
Format: Either is good with me, but all the set up will be in brackets.
Summary: The Psiioniic is new, confused, and a little lost.
Warnings: Nothing at the moment!

[floor four]

[WELL. This is certainly not what he expected to wake up to. An odd room, some letters that make very little sense, a chest... There were squishy platforms for the others sharing the room with him, but nobody's there as he ventures out into the tower. Or, well, he doesn't notice anyone as he begins his journey.]

[floor three/the library]

[He's found books. Books are useful, even if he's never owned one. (So he might look way too fascinated by everything, but cut him some slack.) He's going through and picking out books from each section, staring intently at the covers as he goes through. He puts some back, but the rest float behind him, surrounding in a light that flashes between red and blue.]

[There are three ways to piss off a daiyoukai: 1. Try to limit his freedom, like putting a collar on him. 2. Take him away from his land and his wards. 3. Lie to him, about the supposed end of the world.

Guess what? Upon waking up this morning, Sesshomaru was subjected to all three sure ways to piss off a daiyoukai. At the same time. Shortly after melting the letters with a judicious use of poison, he'd found his clothes and stalked out of the room, in search of those responsible for this nonsense. So by the time Psii gets out of the room, there's a very white and fluffy dog demon growling quietly at a computer terminal, squinting at it somewhat viciously. The fluffy pelt-like thing over his shoulders seems to be twitching ever so slightly, too.]

[That's attention-getting.]

What is that? Those lights.

[The twitching is what catches his attention. At first he thinks it was just a trick, something with the lighting or the odd feeling in this place. He watches Sesshomaru closely, and when the fluff twitches again, he makes a soft, surprised noise, and creeps closer to the man. What is that thing? And what's up with the color of his skin and hair? And his clothing. Those clothes are pretty strange.

He's not sure how to talk to the man. He has an authoritative air, and he's obviously irritated. Maybe Psii shouldn't talk to him. But then the fluff twitches again, and he can't help it.]

Do you need help...?

[Psii doesn't make himself know by his voice, but by his smell. By the sound of his footsteps. By many things that alert Sesshomaru of his presence way before he voices anything. Sesshomaru ignores him until he speaks, at which points the daiyoukai takes a moment to slowly turn and give the troll a scathing, withering glare.]

[And so shiny.

He looks behind him for a moment, before turning to Aleph.]

They are...[uh. how does he explain this.] A thideffect of my abilitieth?

That's some kind of telekinesis, right?

[Judging by the floating books, it isn't too hard a guess. Aleph leans a little closer over the back of his chair.]

[Rude.

He tilts his head, brows furrowing.]

That...ithn't really a quethtion that maketh people angry.

[Tohko had seen a lot of interesting things while working in the library, but the sight of books floating behind someone was odd, even for her. However, this amazed and interested her, so, she turned to the person that the books were floating behind.]

Erm..pardon me, but how are those books floating behind you?

[A nod.]

I believe tho?

[He's never heard the word before. He had a really, really basid school feeding.]

It looks pretty useful. Do you have a limit to how much you can carry?

[Why is everyone here so weirdly colored? It's unnerving.]

My mutant brain.

[It's true, and he really doesn't know any other way to describe it.]

It'th thome thtupid ability common for my cathte.

It typically ith, but not alwayth. And...no. I have yet to encounter a limit, anywayth.

[A slight sniff. Also trick of the light, his eyes just went red and blue to white and gold.]

This Sesshomaru is hardly so incompetent as to need help from a lesser beast like you.

[Frooooown.]

I didn't thay or athume you were incompetent. You don't have to get angry about an innothent offter to help.

[He's just going to ignore the lesser beast thing. He's been called worse.]

[Tohko smiled and nodded when she heard that.]

It's not a stupid ability! That's actually pretty cool! Things like that only exist in stories back in my universe, so things like this are pretty amazing, even now.

That really is interesting.

Oh, I'm sorry for interrogating you. I'm Aleph.

[Oh very well, now he's turning around to face Psii completely, expression vaguely annoyed.]

There are few truly innocent things in the world, and none of them are offers.

[!!]

They tell thtorieth about thith thort of thingth? Are they... nithe thtorieth?

It'th a relatively common mutation.

Ith that your title? [a pause] I am the Pthiioniic.

[Tohko smiled and nodded.]

Yup! There are plenty of nice and wonderful stories about people with those sorts of abilities!

[Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed.]

You don't need to get tho angry about thith. It won't do you any good to be tho grouchy.

[Have another stare, Psii, for your great efforts. You're kind of the least convincing anti-violence preacher he's ever dealt with. And he's dealt with a lot of them.]

Do you even have a point or are you simply looking to die?

[Suzaku was just leaving his room when he saw a very familiar figure begin walking down the hall.] Psi! [His voice was light, not quite happy but more... hopeful than it usually was.

For a moment his face had softened, though he didn't smile. But then he remembered where he was, and that the odds of this Psiioniic being his Psi were very low indeed. That just like the Signless that had come here weeks after his roommates had disappeared he would not know him, and indeed be wondering why some alien was talking to him as if they were acquainted.] I apologise.

[Feferi's not normally one for the library, as a general rule, but she's a bit bored and is poking about the shelves. As she does, it's his shadow that catches her attention. A double set of horns? Sorry, Psii, she's not thinking of you first.]

Oh my glub, I missed you, Sollux --

[Whoops. Incoming hug. She really needs to learn to look at the person, not their shadow.]

It's my name. I don't really think I have a title, unless you count Messiah as one.
