i raised my claws to the darkness

[sawthelockdown]

Characters: Drone!Asako and you
Setting: Residential areas, allll through the event.
Format: Any is fine, though I'll be starting with action.
Summary: The drones do what they are supposed to do. Asako is a good drone. She may be a bit spacey, but she is a good drone. :)
Warnings: Group B modifications. So - body horror, brainwashing, gore, stuff out of Silent freaking Hill, probably murder if anyone misbehaves, and a lot of spacing out due to seeing the freaking end of all things. Let me know if you want her to actually kill your character in the subject line, thanks!



[Asako is a good drone. Good drones do as they are told, and she is doing what she needs to do, so everything is fine. It's nice to have a cool wind over her brain - literally. The crown around it is pretty too, so it's okay that it's replacing part of her skull. It's okay that she was ripped apart and put back together, because that's what the masters needed, the experiments must continue, the Tower must continue. Everything is fine. Everything is just fine.

Yes, everything is all right, when she can concentrate on it. Most of the time, though, she just sees the end - entropy, the silence and emptiness of the end of everything. Not just the death of one person or a world, no, the cosmos itself is quiet and blank and empty. Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between that and the present.

Questioning why is pointless, though. The masters know what they are doing, and everything is fine.

Yes, everything is fine.

So now she patrols the residential areas of the Tower, skulking in the shadows because it's easier that way, less interruptions that way, and if she zones out into infinity, there's less chance she'll cause her fellow drones trouble this way. They won't run into her, she won't interrupt their routines, everyone wins.

Yes, everything is fine.

Everything is just fine.]

[Lancer is cleaning the floor, pushing a mop with his mouth and hands. It doesn't matter how dirty it is. His job is to just work his shift. It's certainly more comfortable when he working. Less need to fight his urges.]

[And in his single-minded devotion to his task, he bumps into another worker unit. He stops in place, looking up at the mutilated face. Something is familiar about it...]

[sawthelockdown]

[She looks over at the other unit, head tilting at a wrong angle. The unit is continuing its work. Fair enough.]

Don't interrupt your task on my account.

[Aaaaand back off she lurches.]

[puppy_lancer]

[And he immediately snaps to performing his task, even faster than before. Somehow, it makes him feel good to take orders.]

Everything is just fine. EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE.

Time to gaze at the end of all things again...]

Shion was almost frantic as he searched the tower. Xion had disappeared and now people were back, twisted, changed. And he hoped that she had just been sent to her dead world. But he had a horrible feeling she hadn't been, that she had been turned, that she had been hurt.

So he was searching, all the floors, looking for Xion, or someone he could recognise as Xion...

He saw the figure in the corner and went towards it, it wasn't Xion... at least... he didn't think so, they weren't recognisable as anyone...

"Do you need help?"

[sawthelockdown]

She looks over at the boy, head tilting at a wrong angle, blinking- How is she blinking, even? Hair and skin and blood and flesh and - is that a goddamn crown jutting out of her skull? Is that a brain? Shion, you might have made a mistake...

... Nonetheless, she just rights herself after a few moments and shakes her head. "Negative. Return to your room, please."

...And with that, she's just going to go back into staring into the abyss. Don't mind her.

[savedbyasong]

He's thinking the same thing, but it isn't, because no matter what they have done to her she's still a person, and he still wants to help her.

"Are you sure? I wont hurt you..."

/hangs a lampshade on lateness

[sawthelockdown]

She just looks at him again with dead eyes, because you're supposed to look at people when you address them, right? (Even if what you're addressing is nothing and nothing and everything ends and nothing and nothing just whispers of dust that's long since gone and-)

"...Of course you will not. Any attempts at disobedience will be reprimanded."

That...took a pretty long time for her to say, all told.

no worries!

[savedbyasong]

He was patient, not interrupting until he was sure she was finished, he didn't want to make anything any harder than it already was.

"I wont disobey either, so you don't have to worry."
