the first day

[fish_or_die]

Characters: Jungo Torii and anyone who runs into him!
Setting: Various locations. Starting out in his room, getting lost, heading back to his room, and finally the cafeteria.
Format: I'll match what I'm given. c:
Summary: Jungo wakes up in a new place and fails to observe his surroundings properly. Confusion ensues, but that's not unusual for him.
Warnings: Warning for blood!

[Room 3-02, Evening]

[After the sleep paralysis wears off, Jungo wearily sits up on his bed and looks around the room he’s just woken up in. He doesn’t remember falling asleep in strange white clothes, and he certainly doesn’t remember having four roommates or having two letters on his nightstand to read. Instead of panicking, he swings his legs over the side of the bed and tries to remember. Maybe he was just really hungry, so he passed out...? Is this a hospital?

He doesn’t get very far in his train of thought, like usual, because there’s a soft meowing sound coming from the trunk at the end of his bed. It doesn’t take the chef very long to find it, and he recognizes the cat it belongs to immediately. Jungo knows that, without a doubt, Jungo is inside the trunk. He just has to get it open and let him out...!

His housemates might be awakened by this, especially once he’s freed his cat from the trunk and sets him on the bed. Yes, this is very good. The letters? Nah, he forgets about those. Petting his cat, also named Jungo, is a lot more important.]

[Floor 22 - 21, and then to the Dorms again, Night/Early Morning]

[Naturally, the first thing that Jungo does when night falls is decide to go and get some food for Jungo (the cat, not himself!). Unfortunately, as soon as he starts walking around outside his dorm, he’s pulled into a pool of blood before he even really has a chance to register what’s going on. He’s a survivor, though, and it’s going to take more than a Floormaster to kill him...or worse, stop him from finding food for his hungry kitty who he absolutely can’t let go hungry.

Once he wakes up, he finds himself in the art gallery. Covered in blood that still drips from his body, he starts to walk down the hallways to find and figure out where he is. Eventually, he’ll find his way to the elevator on the restaurant floor so he can go back to his room and change...but there’s plenty of chances for people to spot a young man who looks very much like a thug dripping with blood and unsmiling. He’s carrying his knife, too, like usual.]

[Cafeteria, the next day]

[A few showers and (hopefully) some real explanations as to how this place works later, Jungo decides to head down to the cafeteria in the morning. He’s hungry, for one, and Jungo (the cat again) is hungry, too. That’s more than enough of a reason for him to head to the bottom floor of the tower. Unfortunately, having only one outfit, his clothes are still a bit bloody. He’s tried to wash them in the bathrooms, but there’s definitely still some stains left on his t-shirt. He can’t win ‘em all.

After he’s had his first meal of oatmeal, Jungo does the next thing that he knows best. He tries to gather up enough ingredients for chawanmushi. He has eggs and a few of the other ingredients, but he quickly realizes he doesn't have enough. He can't even improvise with what he has. He makes a few omelets for himself and moves back into the cafeteria to eat alone, looking extremely unhappy as he does, which is unfortunately his neutral expression. He's curious about what others might show up in the cafeteria, so he watches from his seat in the corner without saying a word.]

[Mondo can't deal with all these vegetables, so for once he had used the restaurant, despite all the warnings against it. At least he was lucky enough to finish their little quest, even if it took until now.

But as he's leaving to go back to his room, there's...someone absolutely covered in blood. There's only a few reasons someone would look like that, so he pretty much has to stop and make sure this guy's okay.]

Hey, you okay? Monster get you or something?

[fish_or_die]

[Ah. There's a restaurant, that's good to know. He probably should have paid more attention to what was going on, but this is a place he's definitely going to remember. He's so impressed with the fact that there's a restaurant (he hasn't been to one in a while!) that it takes him a while to notice that he's not the only one here.

When Mondo walks up to him, he gives a small smile and nods. Some of the blood has already dripped off or is starting to dry, but he doesn't even seem to mind.]

...Mmm. Yep. I'm fine, thanks.

[mustlovedogs]

...And that's why you're fucking covered in blood? Guess it ain't yours, anyway, huh.

[fish_or_die]

Mhm...I didn't see really see it. I'm okay, though. Thanks for worrying about me.

[His smile grows a bit. It's nice to have someone check up on you.]

Floor 22

[culbutiri]

[Nesir is actually heading to bed, she has no real reason to be sneaking around at night except that it feels natural and it's good practice fighting against the monsters that come out in the dark.

She freezes when she sees the man covered in blood, and then does what any sensible person would do when confronted by a knife carrying, blood covered man in the middle of the night.

She follows him.]

[fish_or_die]

[So, this is an art gallery, and he's being followed by some girl he's never met before. It takes him a while to notice; when he's not just taking the first direction that appears to him, he's thinking about something else.

He only turns to face her when he reaches a dead end and a grotesque painting of people being skewered that he kind of stares at for a second before turning around.]

Hey. [...] Are you lost, too?

[culbutiri]

[Well this was the most boring man covered in blood Nesir had followed for a while, but still she froze when he spoke to her before nodding taking the way out he gave her.]

A little, it do be so big and it do be easy to be losing your way in the dark.

[fish_or_die]

[That's generally the rule when it comes to Jungo. He's not particularly exciting, just scary looking until the right buttons are pushed.]

Mm. I've never been here before. Do you know the way out? I have to find something for Jungo.

cafeteria

[chainsawn]

[ Blood on clothes? Well, that's nothing particularly weird to Urotsuki. Sure, she does stare, but it's more since she's curious rather than frightened or anything like that. In fact, she stares from the table where she's sitting pretty obviously for a few minutes before she even bothers to walk over to where he's sitting instead, blinking a few times slowly before speaking up. ]

.. That's some interesting decoration.

[fish_or_die]

[Jungo doesn't so much as blink when Urotsuki stands and walks over to where he is, but hello anyways potential friend. As she does, he's beginning to realize he should probably talk to more of these people that he's stuck here with.]

Hello. [He smiles, then pauses.] What decorations?

[chainsawn]

On your clothes.

[ She points towards her own top, as if she means the stains on his t-shirt.. even though she easily could've just pointed at his', but this is apparently just how she rolls. ]

I don't see those a lot.

[fish_or_die]

[He looks down at his shirt...so that's what she's talking about.]

It's a fish. My boss said it looks good.

Dorm 03-02

[neverbeamemory]

[Indeed, it's much too early for Sephiroth to be asleep but there he is as is quite usual for this time in the evening - boots, armor and coat off and sat back against the headboard reading.

Or that is, trying to.]

Meow.

Meow.

[That kid better wake up soon, that creature inside his trunk is already starting to get under his skin. Great so now he gets to share a room with a cat as well as the crippled OAP, the high-school hall monitor and whoever their new room mate turned out to be. It was little wonder he was first out and last back most days.]

Meow

[Next he looked over there the cat was out, and on the bed with the newcomer who had apparently woken up without very much noise himself at all. Maybe it's all being drowned out by the feline? Sephiroth's not-very-much patience with such things had already been worn thin. Not a very good start.]

"If you keep petting it, it's never going to go to sleep."

[fish_or_die]

[There are other people in the room, it seems. Jungo remembers seeing them when he woke up, but taking care of Jungo (the cat!!) takes precedence over everything else. There's a lot he has to do, like change her bandages. The attack she received from a demon before entering the tower isn't completely closed yet.]

I don't think Jungo's tired. He's happy to be free.

[neverbeamemory]

[So it's a tomcat. Sephiroth can't recall if it's boy or girl cats that make more noise, having never had pets before personally. He hoped, but it had to be his luck that this cat was going to be the noisier, smellier type. Just where was it's litter tray?

There would be problems indeed if any of it's droppings ever ended up anywhere near Sephiroth's end of the dorm.]

I guess I'd be restless too, being stuck in a trunk for such a long while. But he can't keep making that noise all night.

[fish_or_die]

[Sephiroth won't have to worry too much, eventually. Sometimes, it seems that Jungo the cat is more capable than Jungo the person. He's quieted down a lot, too, since being freed from the chest and having his bandages changed. No one likes to be caught in a small space.

Jungo repeats what Sephiroth says to his cat as if him saying it will make the cat (Jungo!) understand more clearly.]

Mm. It must have been scary. He's going to settle down soon, I think.

Cafeteria

[idolizer]

[ As usual, Sayaka is directed to the Cafeteria to gather some food and perhaps go to have a mini-pic nic at the meadow floor alone. Perhaps she could invite someone else, possibly a friend. Unfortunately, there's nobody she knows inside the cafeteria that morning.

That's when she spots a lonely figure eating away from other groups. His face tells her everything she needs to know. He's visibly unhappy. Hm... it could be a bad idea to approach so recklessly, but she's in the mood for some cheering up. She sports the best smile she can muster, and approaches his table. ]

Good morning!

Re: Cafeteria

[fish_or_die]

[There's a lot more people in the cafeteria this early in the morning than he really expected. It's nice, he thinks. He's been in bad situations before, but he's met some nice people in the worst situation before.

Sure, he's grumping because there's no sake or kamaboko, but he'll look up from his breakfast when Saiyoka approaches. Mm, that's a good smile, so he smiles back.]

Mm. Yeah, good morning. Were you hungry, too?

[idolizer]

Sort of. I was picking food and then have a pic-nic by myself. [ it doesn't hurt to mention her plans for the day to a stranger. ] There's a beautiful meadow in one of these floors.

[red_tea]

[ Well, she can't let him go back to the dorms covered in blood! Because hey, she is the one that cleans the sheets around here. And getting blood stains out of white cloth is something she'd avoid-- even if it is easy for her to do, with her talents. ] Ah-- sir! Please, allow me to grab you a change of clothes before you go into your room so that blood doesn't splatter. [ For some reason she doesn't look particularly phased at the fact that he is covered in it. ] And if you could wash off...

[fish_or_die]

[He doesn't even notice notice the other girl as he looks for a bathroom that he can kind of/sort of wash himself off in, so it's a good thing she calls out to him. When he's trying to do something, he doesn't really pay enough attention to what's going on around him.]

Did you say something? [He's covered in it, yep. There's even some on his giant butcher's knife, but that's totally normal for here, right?] Are you looking for something, too?

[red_tea]

[ She clears her throat, speaking somewhat more sternly. ] Mm. If you could wash off before entering your dorm...

Cafeteria

[yougotthatwrong]

...

[There's someone eating across him silently, probably because of the other male's severe expression as he ate, but nevertheless, it took him a while more before the kid actually spoke up.]

Um, are you alright?

[fish_or_die]

There's no kamaboko.

[This is clearly an important thing to say. He hadn't even noticed Naegi until he spoke up, which isn't really the best thing, but he's going to talk to him now.]

Do you know where I can find any? Jungo is going to be sad.

[yougotthatwrong]

...

[That's definitely a strange question for him as he just did a double-take before actually responding.]

Uh, what you see in the kitchen is what you get, I'm afraid...
