OO5 >> December sucked for many of us, but otherwise no commentary will be offered on it

Characters: Hidetoshi, and everyone.
Setting: The hallways of the jail on the 45th floor, and the floating island on the 35th floor.
Format: Either actionspam or prose is perfectly fine by me, but as always, remember I'll be slower to reply to prose.
Summary: Now that December's over, Hidetoshi decides that the start of a new month would be an excellent time to explore more of the Tower for himself before the next events hits. Of course, this means any other Tower residents (new and old) are free to bug him or join him in exploration.
Warnings: None so far. Unless Monomaru turns up, he's a warning unto himself.


[ SCENARIO A || FLOOR FORTY-THREE ]

December had been not been kind to Hidetoshi. As the days had worn on, his hallucinations had grown worse and worse, advancing from simple audio delusions of hearing things to visual hallucinations. It gotten to the point where the high school student had been truly convinced that the entire tower was collapsing around him, falling into chaos as beams splintered down the middle, metal crumbled, and walls groaned painfully as they fell down, and he couldn't prevent it from occurring which had been a special favor of infuriating. He had awaited the end of the month with relief, and found the Christmas Eve party to be a welcome change from the dismal atmosphere of the prior cold weeks. Granted, the commercial western holiday was not his favorite, but there had been respectable food and a warm place to seat down. That had placated him, and he had refined from any disdain.

And now the indoor heating was back on, his mood had changed for the better. It was over. He found it disquieting he had counted it a minor triumph that no one he knew had perished during the month. With free time on his hands between refining his knife-wielding abilities, Hidetoshi had opted to familiarize himself with the relatively safer floors of the Tower while there was no more pressing matters to demand his attention.

The cloak Enoch had given him when they were both suffering from the illnesses that been running rampant that month, was wrapped securely around his shoulders (since it was still winter and an unwelcome chill still lingered in the air) as he strode calmly through the jail hallways, occasionally pausing in front of one of the cells to peer inside before continuing on his way. Feel free to run into him.



[ SCENARIO B || FLOOR THIRTY-FIVE ]


The island was quiet, an inhabited, barren chunk of rocks and dirt suspended in the air over a lake with seemingly no bottom. (The setup made very little logical sense but by now Hidetoshi had sulkily resigned himself to the fact he was living a science fiction novel.) He had explored it, and found no life which was pleasant considering that if he had encountered any life, it probably would have attempted to kill him messily and Hidetoshi didn't particularly want to be forced to vacant the premises in a rush if he was outmatched, or clean any gore off of his knives. The only sound was that of the bottomless lake far under his feet, rumbling in a deep watery growl. The yellow armband that signified his connection to a high school disciple community on his arm was hidden under the warm cloak.

He stood a healthy distance away from the edge, one hand on his hip and the other hand holding a basic lighter which his dark gray eyes were glaring down at like its very existence personally and deeply offended him. Whatever reason you yourself have for being on the island, do you want to approach him or leave him be?

[ SCENARIO B || ANYWHERE YOU CHOSE, ANYTIME YOU CHOSE ]

Perhaps you run into Hidetoshi in the dormitory hallways, or on the way out of the library. If you're one of his roommates, maybe you crossed paths with him in the morning, as he was peeling himself out of bed and stumbling to the bedroom. Or is there something pressing you feel the need to tell him? Are you a newbie and want to ask a couple questions regarding your new home? Go ahead.

"What's goin' on with you...?!"

Labrys was muttering to herself in frustration, axe detached from her back as she examined it closely. The thrusters didn't seem to respond at all, though scanning revealed absolutely no problems. She recalled having this problem a lot today, but the fact that it only happened on certain floors hadn't quite clicked yet.

As it was, she seemed incredibly focused on inspecting her weapon carefully and muttering vague confusion under her breath.

Heee~ey. What'cha doin'?

[Waver's doing much the same, actually. He's finally taking a full inspection of the floor to see if it really is suitable to lock Ryuunosuke up in, should the need arise. He checks the locks - though he doesn't dare go in any of them himself, in case the door should close on him and lock itself, as he was told it could do.

When he spots Hidetoshi, he's suddenly quite wary of the other boy - why should anyone else be inspecting the cells? That doesn't seem like a good sign. If he could read that armband, he might be put at ease, but, well, Japanese. Not wanting to call attention to himself in case the other is dangerous, he stands at the door to a cell, watching.]

[She peers over at the lighter.]

You smoke?
terreifying: cannot see your own fate (That your innocent gaze)

[She nods. She knows some people don't like smoking.]

So...why do you have it? Did you have a friend who smoked? Or did you Dad smoke?

[Ishimaru had only just arrived, but he'd already set off to explore the tower. He's equipped for it, at least, with a sword at his side. He's looking around, peering inside the jail cells with a mild interest. In fact, he seems far too cheery, considering his surroundings. He waves as he passes by Hidetoshi.]

Good afternoon!

[Because her own father smoked. So did Asuka's father.]

That's a weird present to give someone. It doesn't even relate to any of your hobbies.

[Not unless he liked to set stuff on fire.]

What'cha gonna do with it then? It's useful to keep around to light stuff, I guess. Maybe you can burn a monster with it?
terreifying: (Default)

[personal profile] terreifying 2013-01-10 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe you can make it into a decoration then. Like, put it up on your wall. It's still something from home either way.

[This is the girl who keeps Angel corpses in her closet.]

You wanna help me light up fireworks, then? If we ever get any? Because Tohko and Rise and I are gonna be doing matchmaking together, and it would really help the atmosphere of a date to have fireworks going off.

[If that what you think, Hidetoshi, you're about to be very confused.]

Ah! I don't think we've met before! [He hold out his hand.] My name is Kiyotaka Ishimaru.

As with most mornings, Hidetoshi might have spotted Noaya in the hallways going down to practice his training. The other teenager offered him a polite wave as he stopped his running.

"Good morning, Odagiri-kun." Despite how the tower was, it seemed Naoya's disposition never changed.

Jungo has been awake pretty early since arriving to the tower. His cat, also named Jungo, sleeps just fine through the day but demands to be let out in the morning. He doesn't make a noise, he just swats at the human Jungo's face until he wakes up and lets him out to roam the tower. So far, he's come back before night falls. It could end up working out well for them.

When Hidetoshi awakes, Jungo is sitting on his bed and looking through something on his cellphone. He looks up and notices his new roommate is awake, too, and smiles just slightly.

"Good morning."

[ooc; I'm sorry this is so late. orz It's nice to meet you, roommate person!]
