Wave 3 | Aftermath - Open

Characters: Tahno and anybody!
Setting: Floor 90
Format: Prose to start, but I'll match you.
Summary: The Wolfbat King never thought he'd die, except maybe in a drunken coma. He can still feel the gears grinding through his entire body.
Warnings: Recounting a pretty gruesome death. Traumatized superstar athlete. Probably swearing.

Ten minutes. Ten minutes he couldn't move, and yet it felt like hours. He didn't know what to think. Did that kid break his neck and paralyze him? No, he had done more than that. He had torn through his skin and his bones and his insides and split him into... how many pieces?

How was he awake, then? Did the tower do something to bring him back?

He didn't know, and didn't care. When he could finally move again, he stumbled out of his room and began to wander the tower. He didn't know how high he'd climbed, but eventually his legs were about to give out, so he stopped on floor 90. The lagoon in the middle looked so refreshing. Water.

He almost ran and threw himself in, but before he hit the water, he saw the creatures inside. He didn't want to go in anymore. So he sat a few feet away with his knees to his chest and pulled out some water for himself. He held it on his hands, and didn't like how warm it was. He froze it, and then it hurt. 

But it hurt in all the right ways

A moment later, he pulled more out of the pond until he could coat his whole torso in it. And then he lowered the temperature until it wasn't quite frozen. But it hurt.

Do you dare approach someone who feels so... lost?

"Naw, not me. Aftah all dis time in da towah, I be managin' ta know how ta mostly stay out of unplesant situations mon..." She got a bit closer, just to see if he wanted his space or if she could move closer to help him if she could.

"Remembah when I told ya dis place will be da biggest test ya evah faced? Ya seemed confident back den. Strong, unwaverin' spirit... It'd be best if ya tried ta retain dat here mon." she said as she looked to the distance.

"Dey prey more on da weak willed... Dey try ta break ya not only in body, but in mind an' soul... I wouldn't be wantin' dat ta happen ta joo mon."

Xue frowned, the drones that had been running around recently hadn't been completely normal. They had turned a good deal of the residents into them due to the rebellion, but she didn't want to get Tahno involved considering what he had just gone through.

She sighed, looking at him concerned, "Aye... it is mon. But if dey be leavin' us dead dey would run out of guinea pigs for der experiments. All ya can do is survive an' do yer best ta avoid dem situations."
