OPEN with a little bit of closed.

[xanthous]

Characters: The Psiioniic & Signless, as well as some Psiioniic and you action.
Setting: Dormitory floor four (closed) and floor 95 (open)
Format: Anything is good with me! Starting with action, but if prose floats your boat I'll follow.
Summary: Signless and Psiioniic have a Talk about other residents and timeline shenanigans, and the Psiioniic decides to wander through the castle. He also has a job now.
Warnings: Nothing atm, but will updated as/if needed.

[closed] [The dorms are neutral ground. It makes it the very best place to meet with Signless, because he's still on edge and frustrated. He doesn't know anything that the troll talks about, and he's beyond tired of being left out just because this Tower is cruel.

Now he just has to wait for him to show up.]


[floor ninety-five] [Working for nothing isn't new to him. Not in the slightest. Picking up dead bodies, while gruesome and icky, isn't even that bad. It's strange, certainly, because he would have never imagined rooms being filled with...balls that aren't initially deadly.

There's no bodies at the bottom now, and he's not really even working right now. He's just playing in the ball pit, because he's never done it and it is kind of fun, potential for death aside. It's boring on your own, though.]

[SUDDENLY A YELLOW BALL COMING AT YOUR HEAD]

[xanthous]

[SWEET MERCY. It bounces off his head, and he turns in the direction of Aleph.

Hope he can dodge better then Psii can, because there's a red ball heading right for him. Just ignore the flickers.]

[alephbet]

[It scrapes his side. Aleph grins and lobs a blue one at him, already getting another one in hand before that one even reaches its target.]

[xanthous]

[Oh, hey. Rude. He throws a green one at him, then another red one right after. He's competitive, alright? But at least he's snickering and not growling.]

[geometry]

[What even... is this floor.]

[Have an Equius sitting on the stairs, deeply unsure-facing at the entire room, but especially the Psiioniic playing in the center. Seriously, dude. How old are you again?]

[xanthous]

[This floor is magic. Deadly, fun magic.

And he's only like 10 sweeps, quit yer judging and unsuring. Maybe the ball heading towards the stairs will help with that.]

[geometry]

[It's Equius. He couldn't stop judging and unsuring if he tried.]

[Also, Psiioniic may enjoy the sight of Equius being hit square in the forehead by said ball, and then flailing so pathetically that he actually loses his balance and falls into one of the mesh-held pits. So much for good coordination!]

[xanthous]

[There's a moment of panic as the boy flails and falls (the ball pits are deadly, after all)...

But then he starts laughing. Laughing and making his way over to the younger troll.

He's a nice adult obviously.]

Floor 95

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko didn't stop here and play when she had passed by this floor. Ball pits weren't fun if you didn't have someone else to play with in them..but when she saw Mituna playing in it, she smiled and quietly tried to hop in without getting his attention and tossed the nearest ball she could grab at him.]

[xanthous]

[He keeps getting caught unawares. He really, really needs to pay more attention to his surroundings. This Tower is, apparently, dangerous, but... He's having too much fun.

It takes him a moment to catch sight of Tohko, but when he does he just grins wildly and waves.]

Welcome to my humble pit of ballth.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko couldn't help but chuckle as she waved back.]

Thank you for inviting me in! It's quite an interesting pit..I can't say that I've ever been in one of these things before.

[xanthous]

I've never been in one before thith tower, either. It'th pretty fun, though.

[He juggles a few balls with his psionics. Is he showing off? Yep.]

You thhould come in!

[dualkeys]

[ Psii, there is a kid still at the staircase. just sort of watching you play around in the ball pit. Roxas has no clue what the balls are meant to be doing. doesn't really know that they're meant to be a form of entertainment.

zombie mode: activated. ]

[xanthous]

[Oh, hey. It's a kid. An alien one. Psii waves to him, a few of the balls circling his head and encased in his signature blue and red glow. At least he's not throwing them at Roxas, but that's mostly because he doesn't know if such a thing would be acceptable. He's trying to understand the aliens. He really, truly is.]

Are you jutht going to thtand there?

[dualkeys]

[ those floating balls have his attention. Roxas is going to stare at them for a bit before jumping at bit at the sound of Psii's voice. ]

No?

[ he doesn't know! ]

What do you... Do with them?

[xanthous]

[He is giving you such an "are you for real" look right now, Roxas. Can you handle it?]

You...play with them?

[A few of the balls drop.]

Throw them at people, jump and thwim in them?

But try not to thwim too far down or you'll die.

Dorms

[iron_infidel]

[Signless doesn't take long to appear. He knows that a talk is needed between the two of them and he would not let it hang in the balance any longer. Psiionic was one of his closest friends and as such he had the right to know of the feelings that plagued his heart. Besides his descendent was right, speaking to him was a wise choice. Surely Psiionic would come to understand and put the hate he held for his executioner aside or rather any anger he held against the high bloods.

However even as he approached their pre planned meeting spot, he knew it would be a miracle for him to put aside his resent. Mituna...he had a good heart and a young soul. It seemed that sometimes his intentions were to well intentioned for protection. His mind had a tendency to focus on one instance and cause, then another. Rather then looking at the grand picture. It was unfortunate but an endearing trait that he liked in his friend. So many fights their bickering had escalated to over the past years. The thought causes the mutant to smile, allowing himself to focus on his memories briefly.

Upon approaching the destination, he paused for a moment. A creature of habit that he was, first he came to check his surroundings. Offering a wave to his friend and a clearing of his throat to let him know he was there, he moves forward. He hopes this talk will be favorable.]

[xanthous]

[He smiles when he sees Signless, and he waves back before remembering exactly why he asked for Signless to meet him at such a time. He sighs, closing the distance between them and rubbing his arms awkwardly. He was never as affectionate as Signless was - it was completely foreign to him before he joined his group, and sometimes the thought of being so free with those actions worried him.

He was horribly broken, wasn't he? And he knew that he wouldn't enjoy this talk, so why was he so eager to have it?

Probably because he wanted to know what happened to all of them.]

Hi.

[iron_infidel]

[He has to laugh at the simplicity of his greeting. No hug or even a high five. A pat on the shoulder even? He understood the awkwardness that radiated around the troll, especially when it came to psychical touch and affection. No matter it was not a bother to him. Instead he advances forward and comes to pull the other into an embrace.]

Hello, Psii, how are things of recent?

floor 95

[andajarofdirt]

[Jack watches Psii play around for a moment, quietly stalking from a distance, staring at the unfamiliar balls and their apparent... sea-ness. They seemed inoffensive enough, and the troll-thing-creature seemed to be having a jolly good time. Jack considers, tilting his head to each side in turn, then decides.

...what the hell, why not. It seems fun enough.

Yay for the pirate canon-balling into the ball pit. He doesn't need excuses because he's goddamn Jack Sparrow, son.]

[xanthous]

[He should have expected that. He's done it a lot himself, after all. Still, when a full grown man launches into his ball pit, he's taken aback.

At least Jack didn't land on him, though, but the sudden launch is reason enough to throw several balls his way.]

[andajarofdirt]

Hey now, no warning shots?

[Jack looks suitably offended.]

That my good man, that is positively unsightly.

[This is why he's throwing some balls back.]

Shame on you, really.

BALL PIT OH YEAH

[papshooshing]

[ HE'S SO GOING TO CATCH THE LISPY ANCESTOR OFF GUARD.

THROWING A BALL AT FULL FORCE AAAWWWWW YIIIIIIHHH. ]

[xanthous]

[YOU CAN'T DO THAT. HE HAS YEARS OF HONING HIS SENSES BEHIND HIM.

Except no he actually doesn't so by the time he senses something amiss and turns, he gets a ball to the nose.

You bastard.]

[papshooshing]

[ which means Karkat has his hands on his knees and is dying of laughter ]
