[Event, returning from surgery, open]

Characters: All those who were expermimented on if they want and everyone else
Setting: Cafeteria, morning
Format: Whatevers easiest
Summary: Those that were taken a week ago are left in the cafeteria, changed and somewhat broken. (I'm starting with Romeo, and then everyone can just make their own threads/reply to each other/tag around. I just thought this would save 8 very similar different threads)
Warnings: Horror, description of body modification horror, trauma, angst, unplesentness. Probably lots of anger

Romeo had barely struggled when he was taken a week ago but now he was angry. The bad people had hurt them all, did awful things to them. He shouted at them and was ignored, he tried to bash them with his antlers but it did nothing. Soon they were left in the cafeteria. It had only been a week but everything had changed. Romeo had fallen once they had put him down, he still wasn't good at walking and he looked around. The cafeteria was exactly the same though it seemed that the whole tower should have changed, become even scarier than it already was. He looked at his mouth, so strange and protruding out of his face and then down at his legs, four of them now not two. They looked strange in a way they hadn't in the cells. They had been a scary place and the face that he now had hooves and antlers hadn't been as horrifying as it was now he was in a normal place. A place he had been for a long time now.

He looked at the others and tried not to cry, he had cried so much already and it wouldn't keep anyone's spirits up. Now they were back they had to act strong and brave because they would be seeing their friends. Those that were hopefully safe. With a determined look Romeo struggled to his feet and stood, staying very close to the others, scared even now he was no longer imprisoned. "It will be alright." He whispered, both to himself and to those around him. They just had to keep their spirits up, and no matter what they had to keep living.

Unfortunately, tact is not one of Ienzo's strong suits. Especially when he's got many, many more pressing things on his mind. Kanaya's voice was dull and toneless, as if she could barely muster up the power to speak; and abruptly, she clamped her mouth shut, as if trying to hold down vomit. It was at that point he realized something was in there -- what, he didn't know, but it was in there and it was waging absolute war on Kanaya. Experimentation... this didn't seem to be experimentation of the kind he was used to (at least, not at this point in his life).

"...Is something in there...?" They injected her with something. But what?

She nods, "They cut me open, removed all my organs, and placed a phantom inside of me. If you recall during the blackout there were phantoms roaming the tower. That is what is inside of me. It is restless and wants to come out. After putting the phantom in they returned my organs to the proper place and closed me up." All of this was said in an emotionless voice. While Kanaya often wasn't very emotive, now was a thousand times worse. Throughout her explanation, the phantom under her skin was trying to escape with no avail.

All pretenses dropped when she brought up the phantom.

He hadn't thought of it before, mostly because he never wanted to think about it ever again. One of those things had killed him in the storm, and right now, the whole incident was flashing back in living color... and that thing was living under her skin?!

Long story short: "OH SHIT" levels went through the roof, and all he could spit out was: "...I'm sorry..."

All she could do is watch as he processes the information. She gives him a small nod of recognition, "It is not anyone's fault except those who run this tower. If you see those with red collars, please watch out."

"...Yes... I will."

Awkward pause of supreme awkward. Then:

"...should I leave you alone...?"

"You may leave if you wish to, in fact it may be better for your health to go, but I will not force you to leave or stay."

...

He once again mumbles something that may be an apology and walks away.

WAY TO GO, IENZO. YOU REALLY MADE HER FEEL BETTER.

If she is happy or upset by his parting, she makes no motion of it.
