New England ☆ America ([personal profile] colonial) wrote in [community profile] towerofanimus2013-01-13 12:13 am

you do not know the first note of the music that moves me [open]

Characters: America, open
Setting: January 13; a few places around the Tower
Format: I'll match you
Summary: America now believes he's been in the Tower for 250 years. He is a little different now.
Warnings: America is very fickle while evented and may attempt to hurt your character if you make him mad/for amusement; a lot of these options are him doing just that

A; staircases (let me know what floor you land on if you land on a floor)
[America is bored. This happens a lot, actually--he's worn through all manner of entertainment in two hundred and fifty years, played until his toys wore out and broke, and his search for distraction and games has come down to making his own fun. This isn't something he didn't do at home (oh, but he can hardly remember any home but the Tower anymore...), but now it's taken on a bit more sinister bent.

People are always fun to talk to and play with. Getting reactions out of people is always fun. People falling is funny.

Pushing people down the stairs, then, is a good way to get all of that at once! Unless you're someone he likes, someone England likes, a frequent playmate, or someone he's learned is likely to kill him without blinking, you're about to get shoved pretty hard.

If you are one of those people, help him/stop him/roll your eyes at him?]



B; Floor Thirty-Four
[America isn't on the floor himself--rather, he's looking out at it. He's thrown a very old-looking stuffed toy onto the floor, however, and he's watching and listening carefully for people to come by. When they do, and they're not someone he likes or has learned not to mess with, then the crocodile tears start.]

H-hey! Hey, can you help me? My toy... [He points mournfully at the stuffed animal.] The wind blew it all the way over there!

[He knows some people can get out and back without succumbing to the urge to fall off and some can't. It's a good sort of guessing game to play!]

C; Floor Thirty
[America isn't actively doing anything this time--he's instead sitting on the staircase eating some food he's taken from the cafeteria. Specifically he's sitting just above floor thirty, just above where the staircase would vanish if it decides to drop someone into the monster-infested floor he's watching. He likes guessing if the person can get back in time or not, you see. Of course, if you'd like to hang out with him, he's always up for conversation!]

[Here's one of those people that you can't mess with, America. Her own memories tell her that she's up ten years, although she doesn't look to be a day over fourteen. Still, the tower has left it's mark on her and so, when she she sees him by the stairs, she finds herself smiling a little. Her hands move to her hips and she tilts her head at him, looking down on him like a mother or an older sister might. Kids sure were a handful.]

What kinda mischief are you getting into now, America?

[She questions him playfully, though there's definitely a stern edge to it. Even if they can't really die or whatever, she doesn't want to see anything happen.]

[Hoo boy, is he ever a sucker for cheering up gloomy little kids, even if said kids are spouting obvious lies. He'd eat his own shoe if he ever saw a gust of wind blow a stuffed animal down such a thin strip of land without knocking it over the side...

Regardless, he finds himself stopping on his way up the staircase to whistle softly, looking somewhat impressed.]


That's pretty far out, isn't it? If you wait a moment I'll fetch it for you, no need for the tears!

[Who knows what category Romeo falls under but he sees America on the stairs and raises an eyebrow.] America? What are you doing up here?

[Al's been around the tower long enough to realize most of the floors are dangerous, but he hasn't exactly memorized which ones are dangerous in what ways yet. He'll learn. Just stay on the staircase and you'll be fine.]

Hey, whatcha doin' up there little buddy?

[Lancer was probably not someone America wanted to shove down stairs. Not because he would react particularly aggressively, but because he was a hero with good enough reflexes to dodge or at least recover from the shove.]

...You're really gonna hurt someone at this rate, kid.

[He looks serious enough, but his silly-looking blue tights might distract from that.]

Absolutely! [He hops off of the staircase from where he had been standing and lands with a surprising amount of grace.] I bet your friend is pretty lonely all by himself out there and just as sad as you, too. That's definitely no good, so wait right here!

[AND OFF HE GOES setting out for that stuffed animal. Good job America, you just got your first sucker of the day.]

Sure, why not. [Alfred starts to jog up the stairs to meet him.]

Heh, don't think I don't know that look! Jeeze, is seeing me around that bad?

[She feigns indignant for a moment before smiling a little. He's probably up to no good, but maybe it's okay if she goes easy on him sometimes. As long as he doesn't step out of line with her. She takes a glance the stairs.]

Yeah, there's a ton of them. I bet a person'd break their neck if you went tumbling down those.

[And everything else, but details.]

I think it hurts them enough. The ones that fall, anyways.

[He crosses his arm and looks down at the child.]

Not all people can stand falls like that.

...

[Okay, Lancer has to take a second to snicker over his own joke now that he's noticed it.]

Still, it's not really something people like.

[Years at Hogwarts have honed his tricky-stair instincts, so fortunately that is his first reaction. Unfortunately, stairs completely falling out from under him is a new one, and he's left clinging onto the center spiral like a doofus.]

What the crap?

[He sighs.]

Maybe it can be funny. But only rarely. Remember that not everyone has powers and some people can get hurt really badly.

Don't worry! [Captain Confidence, here to save the day!! He spares enough time to do a mock-salute before returning to the task at hand.

He seems to be doing fairly well, at least, having absolutely no fear of heights to speak of. He even gets to the stuffed animal without any issue. It's when he bends over to pick it up that he pauses, gaze settling over the edge of the thin strip of land. Wouldn't it be nice to just take a step to the left? The solid ground beneath his feet is pretty boring and tiresome, after all; air would be a nice change of pace. The itch to just drop is suddenly acute and intense.

Toy in hand, he straightens, faces the side of the island and—]
