Judgment 1: Arrival

[yamaxanadu]

Characters: Eiki and open!
Setting: Room 1-17, Cafeteria, wandering around
Format: Either
Summary:Eiki tries to get her barrings.
Warnings:None

Not being able to move after waking was startling, not quite frightening, but startling. Mostly due to the fact she hadn't remembered going to sleep. She didn't have time to sleep much and she had not used the Cleansed Crystal Mirror enough to require any. The other thing of quick note was that she was in an unfamiliar space and laying down. This was not her court room, something very suspicious was going on.

She didn't try and move for a while, the paralysis had probably past quite a bit before she went to move, but she had been busy thinking. She didn't have enough of a picture to make a decision yet, on what to do or what to assume. She would have to learn more first. The best place to start was of course the room she had awoken in. Bed, some sort of chest, simple provisions and a letter. The letter was a start, but not satisfactory.

"If I were to believe that at face value I would be considered a fool," she aid as she placed the letter down.

No, her world could not be destroyed, it wasn't something that could really be "destroyed". End perhaps, but not randomly. They would have known ahead of time of any potential changes.

Next was to check the trunk, she was relieved to find her clothes in there as well as some of her tools. She would be keeping those with her at all time now. With a quick change she decided to see if anyone else was around, or at least exploring every other door in her area in case there were more answerers to be found.


She was aware of some sort of requirement of eating oatmeal as ones first meal, but it seemed a bit strange. She wasn't particularly interested in it, and she couldn't say it was particularly appetizing to look at. She sat staring at it as if judging it intently while a hand absently went to her throat every so often to fiddle with the collar there.

"Hardly a meal one would want to be greeted with first thing."

[He was avoiding the question, she would let it be for now.] Then you would wish to return I assume, unless the people here hold you back.

[of_emptiness]

...Ha. [ It's a half-hearted laugh. ] You'd think, but no. It doesn't matter where I end up. [ Listen to a dead man walking's tale, if you would. He'll complain as much as she'll allow. ] But at least here I get to prolong a death sentence, ya know?

[ She can certainly take that as literally or figuratively as she likes, too. ]

[yamaxanadu]

Death sentence? What do you mean?

[of_emptiness]

Hey hey, enough about me. What about you?

[yamaxanadu]

What about me?

[of_emptiness]

Such as... have you met anyone else here from your world? Would you rather be there and here?

[yamaxanadu]

I have yet to run into anyone else from my world. I would much rather be where I should be than here.

[of_emptiness]

I figure you have a family or something back home?

[yamaxanadu]

Not really, I have those I work with but nothing like a family.

[of_emptiness]

[ Looking her over now!! ] Right, right. You look more like a business woman.

[yamaxanadu]

I'm actually a judge.

[of_emptiness]

[ A tired shrug. ] Not sure if that's going to help you out here.

[yamaxanadu]

Perhaps, perhaps not. But it gives me a very good sense of character, which I imagine should be useful.

[of_emptiness]

Good for you, lady. There's a lot of bad guys around here, I'll tell you that much.

[yamaxanadu]

I would imagine.

[She glances towards him not saying anything]

[of_emptiness]

...There's a F.A.Q. on the network. You might want to check it out when you got time. They'll tell you about the admins. Those guys are worse. [ Although noticing her glance he leans forward somewhat, placing a hand on the table. ] Something on your mind?



[ OOC: this thing is the faq, although she'll have to search for it herself. ]

[yamaxanadu]

[She will definitely be looking it up and reading it all.]

Not particularly.

[She pauses a moment wondering if she should say anything. In the end she decides it's not really her place at this time.]

Though I must thank you for your helpful advice.

[of_emptiness]

[ He straightens up, putting his hands in his pockets. There is something there she wanted to say, if the pause is any indication. As a detective, he can pick up on this stuff. But. He concludes wrong that this was totally his ~detective pressure skillz~ that made her keep quiet.

Believing that he's still got it puts him in a cheery mood. ] No problem. The name's Tohru Adachi.

[yamaxanadu]

Shiki Eiki Yamaxanadu. A pleasure.

[If only he knew who he was talking to.]

[of_emptiness]

[ Paaaauuuuuse at her name because damn, that's long. ]

[of_emptiness]

Same, same. I'll probably see you around the tower later. [ He gives a curt wave/salute type of gesture before moving to leave. ]

[yamaxanadu]

Hopefully, please have a good rest of the day.
