towerofanimus | people like you are an embarrassment to creation;

Characters: Dark Pit and OPEN.
Setting: A few various floors around the Tower.
Format: Either.
Summary: Dark Pit wakes up and goes exploring this strange new place. ~~It's probably Pandora's fault.~~
Warnings: Language? Violence if you provoke him, otherwise nothing.

Dorm Hallways

[There's a new person around, moving with quick steps down the hall. He can't find anyone - not that he relies on them or anything - and it's just weird to be in a place like this. He moves pretty quickly, so it might be easy to dismiss him… except for the fact that he's got a cannon strapped over his arm.]

Floor 14

[Ugh. He needs to calm down. He's not anything like his original, but he can recognize the value of blowing off steam on a video game. The 'fallen' angel sits in front of one of the TVs, playing a fighting game. ~~It may look familiar…~~]

Floor 13

[It's frustrating. He doesn't want the help of either goddess, but he'd like at least a sign that they're not dead. That letter couldn't have been telling the truth. Not when they spent all that time and energy on making sure the world didn't get screwed up by Hades.]

[The black-winged angel hunches his shoulders a bit as he stands in front of the altar and flaps his wings, though it doesn't seem to do anything, especially not lift him off the ground at all. Frustrated, he turns, storming towards the back of the cathedral.]

[chaos nodded before speaking again. The smile slid off his face.]

This Tower is called Animus. As far as I know, four people run it: Dax, a humane person, Riki, a secretive person who manages the records, Jason, a person who enjoys torturing and experimenting on the residents, and Ruana, a childlike person who is thousands of years old and has interesting powers. She sees her experiments as nothing more than fun games.

If you have not yet been to the cafeteria, eat the oatmeal first. It may not taste good, but if you do not eat it, you shall throw up whatever else you try to eat first.

If you die, you will just wake up the next morning in your bed. However, I am sure that you will be punished if you die too many times, so please be careful.

Monsters roam the Tower at night. I am sure you will not have a problem, but please be careful. Some of them cannot be killed, so it is best just to run sometimes.

[Another nod.]

And that is it.

[He freezes. Experimenting on people? ... Shit.]

Hades isn't involved here, is he?

[Dammit they just stopped that bastard!]

The Greek God of the underworld is not here. You do not have to worry.

Good 'cause we don't need any more freaky soul shit going on. Bad enough he was making his army out of them.

[Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. It disturbed him on a deep level that he couldn't quite pin down. He should have no problem with it, given how he was made, but... ngh.]

Also what the hell kind of monster can't be killed? Does it have invincibility mode on or something?

That does sound terrible. Hopefully you were able to stop him.

[chaos then lightly chuckled. He hadn't heard that term in quite some time.]

A hellhound-like monster cannot be killed. It does not have invincibility mode..it simply seems to keep going, despite what you throw at it.

Yeah, I was. ... Or he was, at least.

[Stupid Pitstain original grumble grumble grumble.]

We'll see about that. My weapon's stats aren't at maximum, but they're pretty damn powerful.

I am glad to hear that. And I will not stop you from trying, but if you will try, please let me know in advance so that I can help you if you fail.

I won't. I'm not -

[... Well Pit wasn't a failure either.]

- I'm not stupid.

Being foolish does not have anything to do with whether or not you can defeat the hellhounds. But do not worry. I do not think you are foolish.

[... Tch.]

Good.

... Also what was that about oatmeal?

I said that if you do not eat it first, you will throw up whatever you try to eat instead until you finish it.

Who the hell thought of that?

[He's not as piggy as Pit, but he still wants to eat things that actually taste good.]

The Administrators came up with and enforce that rule. I do not agree with it but it is the way things work in the Tower.

Why don't you just kick their asses until they stop being jerks?

Because they hide themselves so that no one knows where they are. They are also quite powerful. I do not know if everyone here could defeat them if they tried.

Well have they tried?

A few residents rioted a few months ago. The majority died and the ones that remained were severely tortured.

[That actually manages to get him to shut up for a few moments.]

... Dang.

[There's. Really nothing he can say to that.]

[In his head chaos sighed, and he nodded.]

Exactly. So, for right now, attack the Administrators is just a recipe for disaster until we find out more.

[He growls slightly. Sitting still and waiting to attack, while something he can do, isn't something he really likes to do.]

So what, we just sit here and take it?

[chaos smiled at that.]

No. We gather information and plan.

Great. Fine. Just call me when you need someone to kick ass.

Or you could kick ass at getting information. If you are not good at planning and listening, this is a good chance to improve.

It's not really something I do. It's usually Palutena or Viridi that feeds Pitstain information. I just hang back and save his sorry butt when he needs it.

[Though he's not really satisfied with that... he's not sure what else to do, though.]

[At that, chaos nodded. He wasn't going to force anyone to change..just give them helpful suggestions. It was up to them whether they took them or not.]

I see..I hope you can help out out when we need it then.
