[ 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.

BURSTS THROUGH THE DOOR of floor five

[Ellen approaches Czes, regarding him with a look that might be a kind of subtle confusion. Rather than ask what he's crying over, she instead chooses to turn her head to the viewing station, peers through a nearby one. It's a dusty wasteland, completely devoid of any life. That must be why he's crying.

She looks back to to him.]


It's gone.

[It doesn't sound as though this bothers her very much.]

[She blinks, considering that statement. There's no one she feels the need to mourn from back home, although perhaps it would be convenient if Viola were gone.]

Maybe they followed you here. There are a lot of people who've been saved.

[It's not really meant to be comforting or discouraging, really. It's just a statement.]

...I don't know. I think some of them knew each other before they were brought here.

[That's what she gathers from poking around on the network, at least.]

There's no one that I know.

[She knows that, because there's only one person that she does know; her true body. If Viola were here, she would have already begun crawling after her with that worthless body.]

[Guess what, Czes. You now have a fourteen year old red head flopping in the chair across from you, biting into a chocolate-filled waffle succeeding in getting crumbs everywhere. She's got a small stack of them sitting on a plate--more than a girl her size should be able to eat in one sitting, really.

She looks from him to the oatmeal to back to Czes.]


It's gonna get cold if you don't eat it up fast, y'know.

Um...I think they call it the "network." You could ask on there, but they might not want to be found.

[She doesn't want to be. Then, as an afterthought,]

It won't work if you want to find them first, either.

[She rolls her eyes, props her elbow on the table and leans into her palm.]

It's food, isn't it?

A communication device. It keeps a record of all the information that's posted to it.

They look like big boxes.

It tastes fine.

[Though everything tastes fine to her, really.]

Besides, you only gotta eat it once, so why not just hurry up and get it over with? You're just making it worse on yourself by putting it off, y'know.

[She nods.]

People use them to talk.

Quit being such a baby about it, will you? Or I'll take that one kid's suggestion and make you eat those God awful nutrition bars for the rest of your stay here.

[A shake of the head.]

It has a receiver like a phone and a camera.

[Or so she assumes. She hasn't quite figured out the details of that yet.]

It has a lot of buttons that you can press, too.

[America didn't like this floor--he'd looked through the viewfinders once and it had been such a painful experience he'd decided never to do it again. He's just passing through, really, when he hears the crying. Assuming someone else made the same unfortunate decision he made a while ago, he approaches cautiously.

He relaxes a bit to see another kid. They looked older than him, but that never really meant much to America.]


Hey. Hey, are you okay?

[Kyoko leans back into her chair, tilting it back, taking a couple more bites out of her waffle. She's pleased that he's relenting, but maybe maybe she is being a bit too hard on him...]

Look. I'll share what I got with you when you're done, 'kay? To make up for you having to eat the welcome oatmeal.
