Here comes a derp.

[rejecting]

Characters: Orihime and ANYONE~
Setting: Cafeteria and anywhere with a terminal.
Format: Your choice!
Summary: Orihime arrives! And does odd things.
Warnings: None.


[Cafeteria]
There was a teenaged girl seated at one of the tables. She had been informed that oatmeal had to be her first meal, and she wasn't terribly excited about that idea. Until she remembered something she had found in her trunk! She had raced back to the dorms, and later returned with a large bottle of honey barbecue sauce. Surely, it would make a sad and plain meal into one that was worthy of discerning taste buds (or really messed up ones such as Orihime's). So there she was, making her bowl of oatmeal into a orange-ish red mess, squirting oddly large amounts of sauce into it.



[A computer terminal!]
Orihime knew of the internet. She had even watched Tatsuki use it once or twice! She knew there were chatrooms and mail... and ways to find people. So obviously, it was the perfect solution to getting in touch with someone outside of the tower, right? She would just sit down and figure it out!

But that may have been easier said than done. It was a little overwhelming once she actually got down to it... And the first button she pressed turned the entire screen blue.

"Ah... No! That's not the internet!"

Panicking slightly, she pressed a few more buttons, causing the terminal to only beep lamely back at her with each keystroke.

Comments

[Cafeteriaaaaaaaaaa~]

[bloodyashes]

[Seemed like new people were showing up now - he'd seen a few bowls of the oatmeal around the tables today.

He'd just been leaving - tomatoes were better than the carrots they were serving at dinner, but not by much; he was already sick of them - when he noticed the girl dumping sauce into her bowl. Where had she even gotten that...

He's just going to kind of stand near the end of the table for a minute or two with a confused expression, k. What is meeting new people]

[rejecting]

[When her bowl was more sauce than oatmeal, she set the bottle down, and took a bite.]

Oh, that's pretty good! I did it again, I'm a culinary master!

[She was ready to really dig in, but she could feel someone's dainty eyes on her. She turned her head, and looked down the table, then spotted Asch. She smiled at him, not realizing she had some sauce smeared on the side of her mouth.]

Ah... Hello!

At the computer terminal

[idolizer]

[ It was just by chance that Sayaka was passing by, and just as she heard Orihime's distressed voice over at the terminal, she had to check it out. ]

Miss, do you need help?

[rejecting]

I think it's broken...

[Indeed, she was still pressing buttons and receiving beeps...]

Cafeteria

[tohko_amano]

[Since Tohko had to eat normal food to make sure no one else found out about her, she wandered into the cafeteria..and found someone squirting honey barbecue sauce into a bowl of oatmeal. So, someone else had finally taken advantage of the oatmeals weak point. Tohko couldn't help but chuckle to herself and talk to the girl.]

It's nice to see someone else trying to spruce up the oatmeal! No one else seems to try.

[rejecting]

Really?

[She looked from her sloppy barbecue mess, to Tohko.]

We must be a rare breed... Genius chefs!

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko grinned and nodded.]

Really! I don't know if we're genius chefs, but it is a way of thinking outside the box, I suppose. However..if you're a new arrival in the Tower, I could tell you everything I know about it, if you want. That way, you'll know what you're up against!

[rejecting]

Ah, yes! Do you want to eat together?

[She motioned to the chair next to hers happily.]

Cafeteria

[maidenidrial]

[Idrial does not eat in the cafeteria herself and she hasn't done so since her first meal of oatmeal there. In fact, she had been advised by a number of friends who were here in the Tower too to hunt for her own food whenever possible and she was planning to stick to that strategy.

Today she is wandering around the cafeteria however but not for any particular reason except for interaction with people. She has figured out that at this time of the month a number of new people tend to arrive in the Tower and these new people are always to be found eating oatmeal in the cafeteria. It is something that unfortunately has to be done after all. Seeing an unfamiliar face sitting by herself she walks over to the table and gestures a hand to a space on the bench beside her.]

Greetings. May I take this seat?

[rejecting]

[She looked up from intensely mixing her food with a spoon, and stared for a moment. But she give a quick nod and smiled.]

Yes! Please, sit here.

[tohko_amano]

Oh, sure! Thank you so much!

[Tohko quickly grabbed a spoon and sat down beside the girl, happy that she seemed so polite. She started thinking as she spoke.]

Let's see..this Tower is called Animus. As far as I know, four people control it: Dax, who is a pretty humane person, Riki, who is secretive and manages the records, Jason, who likes to torture and experiment on the residents, and Ruana, a childish woman who seems to be thousand of years old with weird powers.

They will lie to you, so take everything they say with a grain of salt. Also, your universe isn't destroyed. There are people here who wouldn't be able to exist if their universes were destroyed, so don't worry about it. Yours is probably fine too.

Death isn't permanent here. If you die, you'll just wake up in your bed the next day, but you'll probably get punished if you die too many times, so be careful. Monsters also roam the halls at night. They don't go into the dorm floors though.

And..that should be it.

[Tohko finished her infodump, nodding to herself as she did so.]

[rejecting]

[Her expression looked pretty intense and serious as she listened carefully, making sure to absorb all of that information.]

I knew that letter must be lying! Kurosaki-kun wouldn't let our world be destroyed so easily!

[She nodded sagely, as if that were the definitive proof... then looked suddenly surprised.]

Oh! We didn't do a real introduction! My name is Orihime Inoue! I'm happy to meet you.

[She did a little sort of half bow in her seat.]

[bloodyashes]

[Whoops he's been spotted. That was not part of the plan. There's a flash of deer in headlights look before Asch sits across from her, his eyes on the bottle.]

What kind of sauce is that?

[Because speaking of deer, it looks like it'd be delicious on them if he managed to get ahold of more meat.]

[rejecting]

Barbecue. It's my favorite brand!

[She picked it up and looked over the label, and the cute cartoon pig on the front, before holding it out toward him.]

Do you want some? It will make your food a lot better! It's really good for noodles!

[tohko_amano]

Right! So don't worry! Your world is fine.

[Tohko chuckled and bowed back. She wasn't unused to bowing, but no one else had bowed to her before in the Tower. However, that last name made her pause.]

It's nice to meet you, Orihime! I'm Tohko Amano, the book girl.

[rejecting]

Ah, the book girl?

[Was she a super hero? One who threw books at criminals? Or better yet, one who wrote intensely detailed stories that would come to life to trap criminals in colorful and bizarre settings? She sort of glazed over as she constructed the possible scenarios.]

[bloodyashes]

[He looks at the bottle and... Yeah, he can't make any sense of this. What's a barbeque even]

You might want to save it. Getting more of it isn't going to be easy.

[There are no grocery stores in the Tower k]

[rejecting]

That's okay... Food is always better if you share it with friends, right?

[bloodyashes]

[There's a pause... And then he very faintly shrugs one shoulder. He wouldn't know.]

If that's what you want to do with it.

[rejecting]

Alright! It's settled, we're friends now!

[She stood, and approached him before holding the bottle out to him.]

My name is Inoue Orihime! I'm pleased to meet you!

[bloodyashes]

[Orihime what. He doesn't even. How the. You can't just declare yourself someone's friend like that!

I don't even have an icon appropriate for the confused stare he's giving her right now.]

...Asch.

[It's grudging, but he does take the bottle, in lieu of shaking her hand.]

[rejecting]

Asch-san! Have you lived in this tower for a long time?

[bloodyashes]

[Slightly raised eyebrows at the honorific because wtf, he doesn't have those in his world.]

Only about a month.

[Long enough to find out that terrible things happen without anything in particular happening to him.]

[rejecting]

[Get used to it! You'll be hearing it a lot!]

Ah... a month?

[Her face fell a little... She was looking forward to getting back home quickly.]

[bloodyashes]

[It is weird and you are weird, Orihime.]

There are other people who've been here a lot longer.

[Like a certain replica he's pointedly NOT thinking about currently because it'll just piss him off.]
