towerofanimus | Looking for harnasses [Open]

Characters: Suzaku, Arthur and YOU, yes you! He wont bite (much)
Setting: Floor four
Format: you pick, I'm indescisive
Summary: Suzaku has gone to floor 4 to see if he can find the harnesses that the window washers use, he is official harnass collector after all!
Warnings: Angst? Probably not but it's Suzaku so I might as well warn for it just in case.

Suzaku finally decended onto floor four, it took a long time to walk down all the stairs. Especially because on a few floors Suzaku had wandered away from the stairs, because he could here someone calling him. Arthur miowed a little when he stopped and let go of Suzaku's hand for a moment just to bite down on the other one instead. Suzaku barely winced, he was used to it by now. He walked to the windows first, looking out into the fog. He could see where they opened to let the window washers out but he doubted they kept the harnesses outside, he couldn't see them. A touch on his shoulder made him spin round but there was no one there. Suzaku frowned, at first he had thought it was his imagination, but it had been happening for a few days.

He didn't think he'd have much look finding them at all actually but he had to try. It gave him something to do anyways, rather than worrying and being angry. Every time he looked at Psiioniic he felt an urge to smash things. Home had been bad enough but at least he had been doing something, even if he had had his own part in making things as bad as they were at least he and Lelouch's plan would have fixed things. Instead he was here, in a place ran by people who could be even worse than Britannian's. Even worse than Charles had been, worse than the monster Lelouch pretended to be. Looking for harnasses seemed like a small thing, but at least it was something.

He moved back away from the window and started looking around, when he couldn't see them anywhere obvious he went around the walls tapping on them, wondering if there was a cupboard hidden there. A whisper in his ear made him spin round, "Who's there?"

Link wasn't far too sure what Suzaku's commotion was all about when he heard him calling out to the nothingness that seemed to fill the landing he had just arrived in and merely cleared out his throat to get the other man's attention.

The hero of time seemed fatigue, exhausted of his present torture and clearly troubled. Electrical shocks weren't exactly what he had in mind when he decided this place couldn't be all too bad. He was taking all of his compliments for this magical world back: this place was terrible.

"What's wrong?"

Suzaku span round half expecting no one to be there again but gave a small smile when he saw Link. "Oh, Link." He shrugged and looked round the room. "Not sure, I keep hearing voices, or seeing things..." He shook his head and went back to tapping the wall.

"I'm pretty sure I'm just imagining it."

Link stood perfectly still, his blue eyes moving from right to left in search of the culprit who seemed to be bothering his friend but there was nothing. What he heard was far more different, he turned to the right at a whisper.

"Like Poe's..." he muttered. The thought made him frown.

"Poe?" Suzaku asked looking up from the wall for a moment. He saw Link's face and raised an eyebrow questioningly. He noticed Link looked tired, more so than usual and wondered if something had happened.

"Are you alright Link?"

"Poe's are spirits in my world." He commented, moving over to the closest object to lean on and sat down beside it. He rubbed his forehead and gave Suzaku a weak smile, pointing at his collar.

"Shocks. It hurts."

"Spirits?" Suzaku frowned, he of course had seen the occasional strange shadow around the tower but the idea that the voices he was hearing were spirits.... Anyways why would there be ghosts in a place where death was an impossibility.

Once Suzaku would have been sure that ghosts didn't exist at all, but he was no longer sure about anything. He moved closer to Link and knelt next to him peering at him with a worried look. "Shocks?"

Link wasn't too taken aback with the discovery of lingering spirits or that they were bothering people. The poe's in his world were dangerous, only in his wolf form could he ever destroy them. He would have to discuss this with the princess whenever he had the time.

"It shocks me when I do things." Bad tings, but he doesn't necessarily see them as bad.

"What sort of things?" He asked, because he hadn't felt any shocks but he remembered American in so much pain trying to kick in the door of the lift to get at the leaders of the tower. "What exactly where you doing when the shocks came the last few times?"

Because even Suzaku could see something strange was going on. He was hearing things, people were acting strangely. Something was going on.

"I was looking through more chests and trying to take some treasure."

Did Link feel bad? Did he think he had done wrong? Of course not! What was the point of chests if not to open them?!

Suzaku sighs, they had discussed this before and Suzaku didn't know where Link came from or what kind of life he had led but he didn't aprove of him stealing here, not from fellow prisoners anyways.

"Link, those chests contain peoples belongings, their only things from their home. You shouldn't take them, if you want to steal stuff steal stuff that belongs to out captors, useful stuff that we can use to get out of here."

"I wasn't stealing!" And he puts a very concerned face. He really didn't think he was. Regardless, he'd listen to Suzuka, the guy was a friend and he meant well.

"I won't open chests anymore."

Suzaku nodded glad that he had gotten Link to understand. "I know you didn't mean it as stealing," he reasured him. But it had given him an idea, Link was good at finding things, and he was good thinking up ideas. Like with the bedsheets to escape on.

"You want to help me find out where they keep the harnasses for the window washers?" He could use all the help he could get, Link would probably be good at finding hidden pannels.

"Harness?"

The fact Suzuka needed help and was asking Link for it piques the hero's interest. Unfortunately, he knew what a harness was but he couldn't quite put an image to a window harness. This sounded very high-tech.... like something he would probably find in Hyrule. In response, he nodded.

"A harness is like a sling, something to support you when you climb if you need to use your hands for other things. The window washers use them so they can wash the windows and still be held up by the rope." He continues tapping on the walls and Arthur, feeling ignored goes to sniff at Link's shoes.

Link was about to comment on the contraption when he caught movement below. With a few blinks, Link finally leaned over and picked up the feline.

"A cat." He said out loud. He liked cats. They were one of the many friends he had made in Hyrule. He smiled, scratching the back of its ear. "Is it yours?"

Suzaku looked round and nodded, "Yes his name is Arthur." He went over, stopping searching for the moment. He went to stroke the cat's head and Arthur miowed happily before sinking his teeth into Suzaku's hand. Suzaku barely winced. "He is mine, he was brought here with me?"
