Book Girl and..

[tohko_amano]

Characters: Tohko Amano and you!~
Setting: Dorm Floors, Stairs (Any floor you choose), and Floor 48.
Format: Prose to start, but I'll match you!
Summary: After missing for a week, Tohko has come back, but not the same as she left. She's in Group B for the event and full details of how she's been mutilated can be found here.
Warnings: Body horror, gore, and possible death for your characters. If Tohko runs into any characters that she knows are members of the rebellion, she will give them only one chance to say that they won't go against the Administrators. If they don't..then you can expect a fight. She will also sometimes malfunction. If you want to meet her while she is doing so, please specificity in your comment.


Quietly, Tohko walked through the Dorm floors, patrolling as she usually did, keeping an eye out for dead bodies or people acting up, and ignoring the blood that occasionally came out of her joints. It was painful..but it wasn't that bad. If these changes could help her perform better, then so be it. Besides, this only better made her a book girl..and she wouldn't have to carry so many books when she could just read a few words on her arm. She couldn't read too much though. She had to stay focused. The residents sometimes acted up, and the other workers might get out of hand without her. Best to keep walking and patrolling.

Tohko walked up the stairs, ignoring the trail of blood she left behind and the pain that came with each step upwards. She had to patrol on the steps too. After all, how else was she going to keep everyone in line and patrol? Occasionally, Tohko would poke her head into a room before continuing onwards.

People often died here in the graveyard too, so Tohko could be found here patrolling, keeping and eye out on things. However, she stopped for a moment when she saw a gravestone for Ryuto Sakurai. For a moment, it felt like something inside her wanted to cry out..but it was just for a moment. It must have been an old emotion, a remnant of the life she had before the Administrators had lovingly altered her to be a better worker. She moved on, letting the sorrow die.

[As Tohko heads up the stairs, Ryoji is heading down, yet he doesn't really acknowledge the other girl's presence with anything more than a small nod. They both had jobs to do, and though she smelled of death like the others, it wasn't as strong.

If she did decide to follow him, however, he would not object. Then someone can hold trouble-makers down for him as he cuts them apart.]

[tohko_amano]

[While Ryoji just nodded, Tohko couldn't help but speak to Ryoji, even if she did keep heading up the stairs. The old her, the version of her before the Administrators had upgraded her, might have stopped him and kept up their debate on why they should be friends, but now..she didn't care about that. She had duties to do, he had things to do, and they both had to keep people in line.]

Good afternoon, Ryoji. How is your work coming along?

[notsogrimreaper]

[He does pause when she speaks to him, and glances at her out of the corner of his eye, ignoring the little haze of death around her. She wasn't being disobedient. So what if she'd seen a few people die?]

Good afternoon, Tohko. It is going well. There are an unfortunate amount of people breaking the rules, but I am disposing of them all easily. How is it for you?

[tohko_amano]

[Or had murdered a three or four people back in October?]

That is good. I am glad to hear it. I am supervising a few workers and keeping everyone else in line rather well. I need to speak to a few people if I encounter them..but everything is going well.

[notsogrimreaper]

[He's... trying to ignore that because he knows Tohko is a worker like him, and isn't directly causing problems.]

Who do you need to speak to? Are they being disobedient?

[tohko_amano]

[Good luck ignoring it, Ryoji..]

Not right now they are..but they may become disobedient. Don't worry, Ryoji. I shall take care of it. It will be fine.

[notsogrimreaper]

I trust it will be. If you do not take care of it, you might be punished...

[Not that he can do that, but there are a few that have more authority than them.]

Well this is a lovely second meeting, also she is free to attempt to harm him

[semantating]

[ Break is in the graveyard. Ignoring the rows up rows of familiar names.

Sharon Rainsworth. Shelly Rainsworth. Ignored, he is fine; he does not care, he will continue to pass those by.

Gilbert Nightray. He still does not care. What is done is done. If they are truly dead. He will not allow... these... PEOPLE to make him weak. But there is one gravestone that makes him freeze. The name is old and worn and it looks almost like a family plot.

What a dreadful place this room is. But he does not care, he does not care at all. And so he moves on until he turns to find Tohko... not a beast, but the girl. And he cannot help but find the work done to her sort of ironic in a morbid way. He supposes this was Jason's sense of 'humor'. The irony of the girl who told him all this now being in such a way... but he can't be totally sure it's her. Not unless he talks to her, he supposes. And so, cheerfully, leaning on his cane, he regards Tohko as though nothing is wrong. ]

I do hope the book they took was at the very least a good one; it would be a shame if the pages were wasted in such a way without a purpose, then the one responsible would be quite a crook.

[ He saw that odd, brief pause. Something is wrong here... ]

Oh goodie, because she might just try to kill him. :D

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko had just ignored the crying feeling and was about to move on..when she saw Break coming towards her, leaning on a cane a little. While she didn't like the guy, that didn't really matter now. She had duties to perform. Personal fights did not really matter anymore.]

The Administrators used a very good book on me.

[Not that she could really remember this, but why would the Administrators give her anything less than the best in their modifications?]

The Administrators do not waste things, and they are not crooks either.

[Guess who was brainwashed utterly beyond the point of reason? Break might want to be careful..further insulting the Administrators might get him killed.]

She has full permission to try, but I don't think he'll go down so easily

[semantating]

[ ... Hah. Such ridiculous things coming out of something quite without the proper mouth. Oh, this was amusing. ]

... I suppose I should not be surprised they made the book girl from a book. It seems a little more to me that they took the idea of getting lost in the pages of good fiction too literally. So comfortable with our saviors. And I suppose next you shall tell me they did this for your own good?

[ Some friendly advice. For as lax as he seems at the moment, there is a double meaning to his leaning on that cane... ]

Nor do I, really. That, sadly, isn't going to stop her. ><;

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko nodded, readying her fingers. If he said anything against the Administrators, she would attack, first with lightning, then with her daggers.]

They did it so that I can better serve them.

Oh well this should be fun :V

[semantating]

[ She's going to try to attack him? Oh, this was amusing. He just tilts his had a bit at her, looking for all the world unbothered. ]

You realize most wouldn't happily serve their kidnappers, do you not? And I suppose your pay is nonexistent. What a terrible job being a puppet must be. ... I did warn you, little doll. And now look at you. Unaware of anything. Where is your friendship now, I wonder?

That is should..she really will apologize when this is all over. ><;

[tohko_amano]

They are not our kidnappers. They are our helpers. And this is not a terrible job.

[If she could, she would have glared a little as she spoke, but her face remained normal as she concentrated and formed a large storm cloud above Break. Even if he jumped, it would follow him, and without another word, she snapped her fingers, sending a rain of lightning down on him. Something inside of her was crying out, screaming..but those were old emotions from before the Administrators had helped her. They were to be ignored.]

Dorm floors

[warriorscribe]

*He'd returned to the dorms to wash off some blood from a worker unit that had attacked him.

What he didn't expect to see was someone apparently made entirely of bloodied paper with a tell-tale pink collar coming down the halls as he emerged from the restroom.

For a moment, all he can do is stare in horror. This had been a person, hadn't it? Just when he thinks he's seen the worst Jason can do, every time...

Perhaps it's a small mercy he can't recognize it as Tohko on sight.*

Dorm floors

[tohko_amano]

[Sadly, Tohko did recognize Enoch as she passed the restroom, and it wasn't good that she did. She knew he was involved with the rebellion against the Administrators, and that wasn't good for her..or her wonderful rulers. Without a smile she approached him.]

Good afternoon, Enoch. I have a question for you.

[One that would lead to a fight if he got it wrong.]

[warriorscribe]

*And then he does recognize her voice.*

Tohko!?

*Unfortunately he's...not up for answering much of anything...*

[tohko_amano]

[..For some reason, there was a crying, screaming feeling in Tohko. They were probably just old emotions from before the Administrators had improved her. It was probably better to ignore such things.]

Yes, it's me. The Administrators have given me quite a few improvements. I am now, quite literally, a book girl. Isn't it wonderful?

[His reaction might tell her all she needs to know.]

[warriorscribe]

*It's just like the person with the strange patterns all over his body...*

No...you've-... This isn't...

*It's not right. It's far from "wonderful", this paper-bound humanoid form before him with a featureless face. Where is his friend?*

[tohko_amano]

[What actually remained of Tohko-the screaming emotions, the heart-wrenching anguish that would make her cry out-was just being shoved aside as old emotions that shouldn't and didn't need to be paid any mind.

Remind you of anything, Enoch?]

What's wrong? Do you hate it?

Dorm floors

[cutestprogrammer]

[Chihiro can only stare in horror as he comes across her on one of the dorm floors. He cannot recognize her at all and once he's free from his paralysis of fear, he backs away...]

Please-Please don't-don't come near me...

Dorm floors

[tohko_amano]

[Sadly, Tohko didn't understand why he was scared and just kept walking towards him.]

Why?

[cutestprogrammer]

[He backs away more...]

What-what are you...?

[tohko_amano]

I am Tohko Amano.

[And Tohko just kept on walking towards Chihiro.]

The Administrators have given my some enhancements..maybe that's why you didn't recognize me.

[cutestprogrammer]

Toh-Tohko-san?????

[and he continues backing away as he can't quite believe this is Tohko!]

... enhancements...? But... [How is this an enhancement??] But your skin...! Your face...!

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko doesn't mind being this, as it helps her work..so she just keeps walking towards Chihiro.]

They help me in my work.
