[ 001 ]

Characters: Czeslaw Meyer and YOU.
Setting: Room 3-08 and floors 1, 5, 14 & 22
Format: Starting with action, but I'll follow your lead!
Summary: Czes wakes up, is overjoyed to learn that his world has been destroyed and proceeds to explore the tower!
Warnings: Being Czeslaw is suffering. There's a bit of blood and gore in the first cut and more will likely be present in the comments. I'll update this as needed.


Room 3-08

[The last thing Czes remembered was being dragged along the train tracks and getting his limbs shaved off one at a time. He lost consciousness a little bit after he'd been secured to the underside of the train. So when he woke up it wasn't the sleep paralysis that got his attention -- he didn't expect to be able to move, after all. What he noticed was that he was in one piece again and, more importantly, he wasn't on the train anymore.

Correction. He wasn't under the train anymore.

So where was he?

As soon as he's able to move he pulls himself off the bed. Not content in staying in such strange clothing his first priority was to find proper attire. Thankfully, it wasn't difficult to find and minutes later he's dressed and far more comfortable.

Next on the list was the note on the nightstand that caught his eye. He climbs back on the bed, reaching over to grab the paper and carefully unfolding it.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

His world was... gone?

Wha... what?


Floor One

[Eat the oatmeal, they said. It'll be good for you, they said. You need to eat it if you want to be able to eat anything else.

A half hour later and he was no closer to finishing it. He sits at the table, arms folded over his chest, lip sticking out in a furious pout. There had to be a way around eating this god awful concoction.
]


Floor Five

[He must have looked ten times by now. His world. Dead. Destroyed. Gone. He couldn't believe it at first, it seemed so unreal. But... there it was.

Everyone was dead.

Everyone was dead. Everyone who could hurt him was gone. He was safe. He was safe.

He steps away from the viewing station, hiccuping as tears stream down his face. They were all dead.
]


Floor Fourteen

[He's been to a movie theater before, but these screens were just... so small in comparison! There was just so much here that he'd never seen before! He wanders around the room with a childlike curiosity -- pressing buttons to see what they do, picking up controllers and remotes and fiddling with them, rifling through the selection of DVDs and video games with a small sense of awe.

There's a good chance he might accidentally shut of the TV, or stop the movie you were so close to the end of, or reset the game you were playing for hours just before you had a chance to save.

Whoops.
]


Floor Twenty-Two

[Czes finds himself spending a good deal of time on this floor. There's a surprising amount of artwork that he recognizes lining the walls. It was almost strange to see a little piece of home here.

It's possible to find him simply admiring the artwork. Or you might find him running down the hall screaming in terror. Apparently he ran into some... less tasteful pieces.

[She reaches over the table to flick his forehead.]

Oi. Don't look so serious. All I'm saying is that you should find a better way to sell yourself. People are useless, here more than you're used to, but sometimes you can find useful allies. People who you're on even footing with. Even a mean person like me was able to find a couple girls like that, so you should be able to.

[never gonna get over being called mean tho.]

You dropped your guard again.

Oooh, you're making a scary face right now. I'm shaking with fear.

[Actually, that's just her giggling at his glare. She's obviously not taking any of this too seriously.]

You'd better careful, or your face is going to stick like that.

What, you don't believe me? Well, if that's the case, just keep making it and you'll find out how right I am.

[She's laughs a little at the look on his face. It's actually kind of cute, really.]

Heh. It's been awhile since I've met run into anyone that could give me a laugh, so if you want, I'm willing to cut you a deal.

That's because you are, but when I really think about it, you're still better than most of the people I've met. You're kinda sharp.

[She shrugs.]

Like I said, neither of us can be called something like a trusty hero from a comic...but we're working towards the same goal, right? Getting rid of that girl. So, how about it. You find out anything interesting, let me know. I'll do the same for you. I'd say I'll let you know how my secret plot works out, but I'm pretty sure if things get messed up I'm not gonna be in any shape to do so.

[She grins though, seeming completely unconcerned by the prospect of whatever fate's waiting for her.]

Well, I'll send you a card from the afterlife if that happens. So, what do you think?

[Kyoko's grin stays in place when he accepts her offer, moving as though to take his hand, though what Czes will find is that she's instead chosen to place a Umaibo in his hand. This is, of course, her own strange way of saying that she's at least willing to accept him.]

Great. I look forward to working with you. I don't get to say that too often, so make sure to make it worth my while, 'kay?
