i hope you see the sun

Characters: Asako Minegishi, now free of her brainwashing, and anyone really.
Setting: Forward-dating this to April 20; Room 2-15, Floors 13-14.
Format: I'll start with action, but either's fine.
Summary: Waking up from brainwashing is like the world's worst hangover multiplied by a thousand.
Warnings: Mentions of gore.

[Room 2-15]

[She didn't think it could get worse. Being proven wrong, in this case, is the worst. thing. ever. Waking up and having all those memories come rushing back - the pain, the brainwashing, the pain the wrong the staring into the end - the end itself sweet gods -

A mind exposed to the world. Literally. She touches the top of her head, half-afraid that - but no, her fingers touch hair and the stiffness of a skull. She looks at the fingers, the skin is back to being skin and she isn't made of blood and demonflesh held together by stitches and

She curls into herself on the bed and muffles a howl of anguish into her pillow. There are other people in the room, after all. They don't need to hear it.

It's the least she can do.]

[Floor 13]

[After that little wakeup, and after a very hurried breakfast, she leaves for the only place she can shut out the world for a while - the cathedral. Sound doesn't carry there, and she scurries in, sitting down on one of the pews and trying - trying - to calm down, to meditate, to something.

Crying messily ends up being the order of the day, and as far in as she is - as small as she is - people probably won't notice.

Sound doesn't carry after all - here, they can't hear you scream.]

[Floor 14]

[What's the best way for a teenager to get their mind off of being brainwashed and experimented on?

If you guessed "playing old action games in the media room", you're right! Right now she doesn't feel like beating up monsters (because they're as twisted and broken as I was) - she doesn't really feel like being all "serious business overlord", she just wants to forget for a bit. To be a teenager again, as she was before things got disturbing. It's been a little too long, and just a few minutes...that's okay, right?

This isn't the same, but it's close enough.

... At least she's not playing the Tower knockoff of Dark Souls, if indeed it even exists (hopefully it doesn't). That's a good sign, as far as sanity goes.]

[It had been quite a long time since chaos had been into a church or any place of faith. For one thing, they were all twisted around and manipulated by Wilhelm in his universe. For the other..they made him too sad..and mad. It was not easy to see stories of your friends twisted around and ruined.

However, this chapel wasn't run by Wilhelm, so chaos thought that..he might try to put it all behind him and look around. However, as he did so, he sensed someone else in the building. After wandering around, he found the source-a crying girl. Carefully, he sat down beside her.]

..So you were injured too? I am so sorry..
risingshepard: Alert. (Mulling it over.)

[Well, well, what a coincidence--guess who else came by after being a mindless drone for the entire week.

Yup, this same commander that apparently carted her off like a kitten to her cousin. Funny how things work out, isn't it? People in terrible plights are apparently a walking signal for Shepard. ...But anyway--It takes a while of walking through to notice, but Shepard does come across Asako. She hasn't gotten much of a chance to talk to her since that mess on the 8th, no thanks to Jason, so the most she'll do for now is stand there and keep watch on her, not wanting to disturb her just yet.

Shepard needed space too, anyway...after experiencing Indoctrination of a sort for herself.]

[Taro is also trying to calm down via video games and music, but he can't help but take notice of a cute but sad-looking girl. So he clicks off his own game and heads over to hers.]

What're you playing?

[Dammit Asako why do you always come here.]

[Still, Naoya walks up behind her pew, and wraps his arms around her shoulders.]

It's not your fault, you know.

It doesn't look like Goldeneye...

[Sad. That's one of his favorites.]

What other kinds of games do you like?

[..Sometimes, people didn't like this, but as she wiped her eyes, chaos put a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her.]

I know..that is what I meant. I am so sorry that they injured you in that way..destroying your free will and mangling your bodies is too cruel for words.
crouching_sin: (quiet and sad)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2013-04-20 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine to cry.

[He holds her a little tighter. C'mon. Let him be the big brother.]

It was probably one of the best games of its time... one of the first shooters that wasn't on rails.

[He leans on the couch.]

... Ah. They... yeah. I can see why you would wanna do something like that.

Do not mention it. I enjoy helping people whenever I can.

[chaos won't mind that she's looking down.]

..I do no think it is..but may I ask why you are wondering that?
crouching_sin: ([+ MC] save you from the evil ones)

[He doesn't say anything, just gathers her up in his arms. He's not the strongest, but he can at least do this. He sits down with her, holding her close and stroking her hair.]
hachitaro: (sleeping.)

... They don't, it's just sex appeal. It's kind of gross and offensive sometimes. ... Usually. A lot of them still think that guys are the ones who mainly buy games.
crouching_sin: (unkempt and alone)

[He just chuckles and guides her to rest her head on his shoulder.]

You're still my baby cousin. I'm just...

[... words of comfort, what are they.]

... I'm glad you're all right.
hachitaro: (playful.)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2013-04-21 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[There are no arguments here.]

Man it was true a century ago, it's still true now. Just with video games instead of... saucy drawings... or something.

[Insert 'paint me like one of your French girls' joke here.]
