Characters: Rosa Ushiromiya and you
Setting: March 17th-22nd, all over the Tower
Format: anything
Summary: Rosa explores her new powers
Warnings: Blood due to the Deadman Wonderland player plot. Maybe gore.

Spring

[Miraculously, the past few weeks had been good to Rosa. Being able to defend herself, at least, made her much more confident. Ever since she had gotten cut on a red crystal, she had the ability to create hammers out of her own hardened blood.]

[Sure, it had been outright horrifying at first--all the blood rushing out of her body, forming into a hammer, and then smashing down on a monster's head to crack it open, but she had gotten used to it. It was freaky, but it was her weapon. And it meant she didn't have to hide in the shadows all the time just to survive.]

[The new rainfall was annoying, but she figured she could handle it. Her stock of food was waterlogged, but with this hammer, she could now hunt.]

[So throughout the days that spring lasts, she can be found on the floating island floors, either gathering vegetables and mushrooms, or trying to crack the skulls of a couple of unfortunate animals. Sometimes she'll be on one of the other safe floors, relaxing.]

Summer

[Spring had been nasty, but it was nothing compared to summer. At least in the spring, she had plenty of access to water. But in summer, the entire Tower felt like a desert.]

[Even worse, the heat had deprived her of her weapon. Whenever she had hammer out, she felt like fainting. No wonder. It was made of her blood after all.]

[Even if she doesn't like it, for summer, she's gone back to her usual schedule of hiding herself in whatever shade available and avoiding contact with others.]

Autumn

[Autumn is certainly a relief. Though the winds are strong, she likes this season better than the waterlogged spring and the burning summer.]

[Still, as she walks through the Tower, trying to gather and store food, she feels pretty jumpy. The weather had been erratic. Who knew when it would change again?]

[But she has her weapon. She can handle anything as long as she has her weapon.]

...You really do seem to be a good man.

[A foolish one too, given how much he cares for others and how much he is willing to do for others.]

I don't know if that's true. [He tilts his head a little to one side, as if wistfully.] I used to be.

But I try.

The most any of us can do in this place is try.

[She has to wonder if he considers himself having stopping being a good man when he killed her, or if something else had happened before that.]

That's true. It's a hard place to live. Though it's not always so bad. There are even things I like about it, sometimes...

Not that I think it's right that we're brought here. And I wouldn't want to stay.

[He has to go back and fight in the War. Somehow.]

There must be a way back.

I would think so too.

[A pause.]

It would...be impossible for an entire world to be destroyed at the same time, right?

That's what I think. How could that happen? All those worlds...

No, they're lying to us. They want us to believe that so we won't struggle, so we'll stop trying.

I'll never believe my world was destroyed. I know the people I care about are still there.

[She nods.]

And I...have someone very precious that I need to save as well.
