Characters: Shinji Matou & OPEN
Setting: Dormitory Floor 2; Cafeteria; Library
Format: Action preferred, but I'll try to match.
Summary: Shinji tries to puzzle out his situation.
Warnings: Man idk, I'll update this as things come up.
dormitory
[There is a small, (probably) unfamiliar child in the dormitory today. He doesn't seem as frightened or upset as a child perhaps should be after waking up in a strange place and being informed that his world has been destroyed. Instead, he's seated in front of one of the network terminals, his heels resting on the stool's legs.]
[It's hard to say what he's doing. He isn't touching the device at all, only staring at it really, really intently. Then, abruptly, he makes a noise of frustration and kicks it.]
—Ouch!
[Oops. He must have kicked it too hard, or hit his leg on it as he did so, as he immediately reaches down to cradle his knee.]
[This isn't the first terminal he has tried to do...whatever it is he's trying to, and it probably won't be the last. He might even venture to the first and third floor dormitories to see if he has better luck there.]
cafeteria
[So, after completely failing at what he wanted to do, Shinji has gone to the cafeteria. Maybe things will go better if he has a little food in his stomach? Maybe. Being in a less irritable mood should definitely help, at least.]
[Except the only thing he's given to eat is plain oatmeal. Obviously, this offends his eight-year-old culinary sensibilities. He hasn't touched it yet, and is instead just glaring at it like it's the source of all his problems where he sits at one of the tables.]
library
[...Yep, he's right back to his fruitless efforts with the terminals. This kid is tenacious, even if only in the way a small, loud terrier might be.]

no subject
[He does seem to have calmed down now that he's receiving information in a straightforward manner, at least. He's even committing these things to memory and thinking them over! Though some sarcasm does creep into his tone again when he speaks next.]
What floors are safe, then, if this places is oh-so-scary and dangerous?
no subject
[Diarmuid starts to list off all of the floors that are safe, but then stops himself.]
There are over 100 floors now and that is a lot to remember. I have been compiling a list of the dangers of each floor. The list, of course, also notes the safe floors. If you would like, I can send a copy of it to you in the mail that way you can look over it at your own pace.
no subject
[Said so with the kind of absoluteness only a child can muster.]
If you were doing something like that, why didn't you say so in the first place? I'd definitely take a written list over listening to you drone on and on.
no subject
Up until just recently the tower was half the size it is now. It was easier to list them off then. Now, yes, the list would be easier. I am just not used to offering it yet.
Is there something else I can help you with or should I take my droning away?
[A day after this conversation, Shinji will receive the list Diarmuid promised him in the mail.]
no subject
...Yeah, one more thing. If it was smaller before, how and why did it change?
[He will be privately thankful for that list, but good luck getting him to admit it.]
no subject
[A displeased look crosses his face.]
Not long after, every person in the tower lost one hour. When we 'woke up' all the new floors were here just like they had always been here.
[Diarmuid spreads his hands out in front of him in a helpless gesture.]
It's not much of an answer, but it is the best I can give.
no subject
Well, I guess it's better than nothing. [His tone takes a turn for the belligerent again when he adds,] All right, then you're dismissed.
[He waves him off.]
no subject
He nods stiffly at the boy before walking away. There are plenty of other new faces in the cafeteria, and he will waste no more time on one who doesn't wish to learn.]
