Rain rain go away

Characters: Shion and you
Setting: Starting in room 2-12, going to sauna, then generally around the tower
Format: Any
Summary: Shion in spring
Warnings:

[Must protect the books] The water woke him up the moment it started and he opened his eyes, bringing his hand up to protect them from the... rain...

Rain... inside. Shion jumped out of bed, landing in the water already pooling on the floor, and rushed to his trunk. Luckily he had put his coat in the top and so that had taken the most water damage so far, his notes were beginning to smear though and he grabbed them pushing them under his clothes and wishing he had something more waterproof.

He grabbed Hamlet as well and his copies of his mushroom guide he had written. Perhaps he could hide them under his mattress and hope the room didn't flood...

Why on earth was it raining inside? He had to go and find Xion, and Elena, check they were alright. He pulled on his shoes, though they were already soaked and didn't do much good. His white hair was plastered to his face and water trickled down his neck.

He started down the stairs to Xion's room when he remembered something... Reno's journal... it was in his locker, was it raining everywhere?

Turned out it was, water poured down the stair case making things trecherous. But soon he was in the sauna, he hurried to the locker, opening it fearing what he would find...

And then let out a sigh of relief, the locker was dry... no water had gotten in. The journal was safe. He let out a sigh of relief and put the other books and papers in there. Safe for now even if there was damage already done.

He locked the locker and set off back up the stairs.

[Beware the plantlife] He had gotten back up to floor 101 safely though going up the stairs was even harder than going down. And he was concentrating so hard on not slipping he forgot to skip the glowing step. He ended up in the gardens, which wasn't too much of a problem.

Until a red bulbed plant tried to take his finger off. He jumped backwards trying to swipe at the vine as another red bulb opened it's mouth.

[And prepare for the worst.] There was no food, no workers. It was like June again but no disappearances as far as Shion knew and it was still raining. He went up to the safe forest, at least outside the rain was less terrifying, it was supposed to rain outside. And the trees provided decent cover.

He looked around for mushrooms and any early season berries that there might be. Who knew how long this period without food could go on, and he doubted that any stores people had managed to form had survived the rain...

He couldn't help but feel terrible. What sort of life could you really live here? Neal was sure that he could manage on his own, at least well enough. He'd survived on his own for this long, after all. But for kids to suffer... he didn't want to think about it. It seemed inappropriate to try and encourage someone who had been in the tower for a year already. "I'm sorry."

He nods, smiling. "You're right. I've met a lot of nice people here. We've gotta stick together." Not just for the protection from monsters, but for the moral support as well.
wegotlucky: (♈ no one but you and him)

[personal profile] wegotlucky 2013-03-31 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Neal agreed. "We gotta keep together. We can't let them get to us."
wegotlucky: (♈ the high and mighty show up)

"Not even a month," Neal admitted. "Does... does this whole weird weather thing happen often? The whole raining indoors thing, flooding the dorms." He couldn't imagine that he was alone in being terribly confused. The idea of monsters had been bad enough, and now this.
wegotlucky: (♈ you'll be with me)

"I've seen strange things before," Neal admitted. Well, to him they weren't so much strange as they were "horrible" and things that were in the realm of possibility where he was from, but to someone not used to terrible magic it was definitely strange. "But I'll admit, souls held in collars and monsters lurking about is a new thing. What can you tell me about this place? The people in charge? I heard about that guy, Dax, but I'm still kinda in the dark."
wegotlucky: (♈ no one but you and him)

[personal profile] wegotlucky 2013-04-05 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I heard about that," Neal said, rather breathlessly. Dax's murder, something that had happened only a few days before he had arrived. What a monster Ruana was. Far worse than he would ever encounter. He listened with a serious expression to the explanation of the remaining members of the administration. "It doesn't sound like the three of them care much about keeping us safe, huh?" he said rather darkly.

Zo was the one who worried him the most. Such a young boy did not need to be influenced by such sociopaths. He'd do what he could to protect him, somehow. It was probably foolish, but Neal wanted to help in any way he can. "Zo's probably too young to understand what's going on."
wegotlucky: (♈ and golden her hair)

"Poor kid," Neal said, hand rubbing against the back of his head. "I wish there was some way we could help him." There had to be, somehow. Neal wasn't too good with kids, but finding out that you have an eleven year old kid tends to bring a change in a guy overnight. If there was even the slightest of chances of getting Zo away from the hands of some freakish cannibal, he was going to try and find it.
wegotlucky: (♈ like you my dear)

"No way will it be easy," Neal agreed. heck, the chances of it even being possible were slim, and Neal wasn't a fighter. But he still felt that they had to try, somehow. If there was ever an opportunity. "No sense is trying to plan it, you know? Seems kinda dangerous getting on the bad side of the people in charge here."
wegotlucky: (♈ we'll depart in bitterness)

[personal profile] wegotlucky 2013-04-08 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bet they know everything that goes on around here," he said darkly.
wegotlucky: (♈ desperate cries)

[personal profile] wegotlucky 2013-04-09 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
Neal nodded, now feeling rather lost. There would be no saving the boy now. Heck, he may have very well put a target on his back. "Thanks... thanks for all of the information. Hopefully this whole weird weather thing clears up soon."
wegotlucky: (♈ soon they'll appear)

[personal profile] wegotlucky 2013-04-11 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded, returning the smile. "Thanks. I will."
wegotlucky: (♈ will you still wait for me)

[personal profile] wegotlucky 2013-04-12 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded, smiling. "No thanks needed."
