( room 01-11 )

[ When Asahi wakes up, there's just confusion at first. Nothing here is like she's used to. This isn't her bedroom, these aren't her clothes, this isn't her bed.. by the time she sits up and looks around, her shock is very much apparent just from her facial expression. Asahi doesn't hide her emotions either way, they're clear and out in the open over here. She'll even ignore roommates and dive immediately for the letter, her eyes skimming it and her expression only grows more shocked at it. What.. is this true?! She can't read lies from a letter, so she has no way to tell, but.. the very idea of her world being destroyed, everyone she knows being gone.. it twists her stomach.

She stands up, starting to rummage through her trunk to find her actual clothes to put on instead of this weird suit. She's looking rather emotional, but still, roommates can approach the new girl. ]

( floor four )

[ By the time Asahi starts looking around in the tower for more answers, she finds herself on the floor with the glass windows and then stops. Outside the windows, these sights.. could that really be just a hologram or whatever if it's that realistic? Or is it true, the letter and what it said? This does look too elaborate to be the work of normal kidnappers, but how can she know for sure?! Besides, even if it's true, there's no way she can accept that!

Her world destroyed, being alone here now, having to live here..

It's sad. It's scary. It's infuriating. It's a lot of emotions at once, and of course with Asahi being Asahi she doesn't know how to deal with them other than to just directly throw them out. Physically. And so she pulls back her arm, her hand forming a fist and she strikes the glass hard in her frustration. It doesn't budge, but that's okay, she didn't intend to break it either way. This is just the only way she can express all her emotions, she has no other way.

She lets out another yell, hitting the glass again. And again. After the third time, her knuckles become chafed, and after the fourth time they start to downright bleed. She attempts one more time, but her body gives out because of the mental exhaustion from all those emotions and she drops onto the floor on her knees, covering her face with her hands. One of them is still bloody, but she doesn't even seem to pay it any attention. ]

( floor fifteen )

[ Later on, when she's more calmed down again (relatively speaking, this is Asahi, after all) she ends up finding the workshop. And once she finds the wood there, she's immediately in the middle of it, searching the pieces. Occasionally she'll pick one up and stare at it before dropping it again. Sometimes she throws one or two backwards too to look at it later - if your character happens to pass by they might just accidentally get hit by one. At least she doesn't mind it, it's just that she's too brash to look.. ]

( ooc: as a side note, Asahi has the ability to see through people's lies, so if you would rather not have her do that to your character as she talks to them then please don't tag, thanks! )

[He let out a little nod to her in affirmation of her question. He's unfortunately honest most of the time (only lying to get himself out of harsh situations, but that's something else). But right now, he didn't feel the need to lie to someone- after all, she doesn't seem like she could harm someone, let alone a fly. But...]

Ah, yes, I'm actually Italian...Asahi? Hm. The name does sound Japanese... [He pauses, letting out a sigh.] Well, Asahi, it's still a pleasure to meet someone like you. [Again, another bow. He's a little too polite right now- but he has to be. He doesn't exactly want to make enemies here on first contact...]

[integrous]

[ Italian, wow.. of course even Asahi knows what Italy is, but that's so far from Japan! So this is a guy from the other side of the planet.. well, she could have guessed either way, he looks much more exotic than she does. With that completely blonde hair too, almost golden, no way you see it that brightly. Not even in Asahi's weird hair color world.

But she does notice how formal he's being here. And Asahi is practically the complete opposite of being formal, so she finally stands up, dusting off her skirt, before shaking her head a little. ]

C'mon, no need to be so formal! We're all people who were captured here, that means we're no strangers right off the bat! [ Well, she'll only claim that to people she thinks she might be able to trust - like this guy who hasn't lied so far - but still.. ] Besides, you helped me, so.. I owe you now! In that case I can't call you a stranger anymore!

[ventoaureo]

[Excuse you the hair colors in his world are just about as dumb. He hadn't remembered the last time he actually met a person from Japan- well, there was that Koichi kid, and he seemed pretty nice in the first place. Are all Japanese like this in the first place? Ah...

He seems to be taken aback, however, when she tells him to not be so formal. Well, he didn't realize that...well, they weren't exactly supposed to be allowed right now but whatever. He's just blinking a bit in curiosity, before straightening himself out.]

...no. You don't have to owe me anything. I felt like helping you because you needed it- after all, no one should go without suffering. And...hm. [He paused, looking off to the side.] ...you seemed like a good person.

[integrous]

[ You're right, the hair colors in Jojo's are even worse.. ]

.. H.. hey, do you usually go around saying that about strangers?! That's dangerous, you know! [ But even though she's snapping back, there doesn't seem to be any bite about it - at least, not anything really harsh. Especially not since her face almost colors a little along with it too, as if she's flustered rather than completely angry. ]

Besides, aren't you the good guy here for randomly helping out people you don't even know?

[ventoaureo]

...hm. [He pauses a bit, bringing a finger to his mouth as he tries to form an answer to what she just said. Sure, it's a bit dangerous, but...well, his assumptions were never wrong in the first place. He was always right, either way.] ...no, I don't say that to strangers. I only say it to those I believe really are kind of heart. And you seem kind enough.

[Although hearing that last bit made him shut up a bit and look away from her.] ...I only do it for those that need it.

[integrous]

[ Oh god. Now he's saying she seems kind even though she never thought she gave off that kind of impression judging by the way people around her treated her.. and then he's saying something good like only doing it for people who need it and she can't even see a tail, so he's being truthful about all of that?!

But.. there's no way guys like that really exist, right? Her chest feels a little tight.. ]

It's not like I need someone to look after me. [ It's mumbled. ] I'll be fine.

[ventoaureo]

[Wow Asahi can you tsun a little harder please- he wasn't even saying that he was going to defend her in the first place-! Whatever, not like he's going to make a big deal out of something like that in the first place. He hardly ever does, but this girl is definitely something he hasn't encountered yet.

...but still, he can't help but tap his finger against his temple.]

...if you ever find yourself in need of help, I'll be glad to lend my assistance, however. It's all up to you to decide.

[integrous]

W-what?! Didn't I just tell you that I don't need something like that?!

[ Yup, there goes the tsun. Her face is completely red too as she shakes her head wildly and yells like that, but it's more of an instinctive reaction than anything else.

After a moment she realises he is being nice though, so.. ah, maybe that wasn't really an appropriate reaction.. she calms down a little. ]

.. But.. I'll maybe consider it if I ever do really need it.. I guess.

[ventoaureo]

[...wow. This girl is definitely reminding him of Mista in how loud and unwilling to cooperate she is. But...it's enough to actually bring about a slight chuckle. If she's anything like Mista...he's sure they would get along.

But still, she's a bit rude right now, but at least that last statement lets him nod in response.]

Keep it in mind. Make sure it's for something important, as well. But...

If it's for spending time with someone, I'm also open for that.

[integrous]

[ She's about to yell at him that she wouldn't bother him for something insignificant, why would she, she can handle that by herself, and--

But then Asahi stops. What's up with the last part and the way he words it.. she blinks. ]

Do you mean.. something like being friends or whatever? [ EXCEPT WITH THE WEIRDEST WORDING? ]

[ventoaureo]

Ah, is that what it's called? I wasn't too sure if putting it would have elicited an ill response from you. Although, I wouldn't mind being friends.

[It's true, then again, he doesn't seem to mind a lot of things that goes on in the first place.]

[integrous]

H.. hey, I was just asking, I didn't agree yet or whatever! Don't just assume that! [ Watch out around Asahi, Giorno, it's like you're just waiting to accidentally step on a charged land mine.. ]

I mean, I have to see if I can even trust you first!

[ventoaureo]

[...ah, right, the matter of trust. Giorno crossed his arms, closing his eyes a bit in contemplation. So...he has to prove what he can do make her trust him...]

...well, what would be the requirements to become acquaintances, then?

[integrous]

[ Just kiss her-- I MEAN WHO SAID THAT No, okay, it'll happen eventually. ]

Isn't it obvious? You're acquaintances once you've talked and exchanged names.. and we have. [ So in other words, she's saying they already are. It's not like she has some incredible distrust for him either, after all, he did help her just now. ]

[ventoaureo]

[Maybe in the near future- I MEAN WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.]

...then why would you make a fuss about us being friends at this point, even if we are acquaintances. [It's true, though, she...seems to be really odd.] ...but is there anything else I could do to make you trust me more?

[integrous]

[ Hey, there's a difference! Being acquaintances is one thing, it means you don't know each other all that much, just slightly.. but friends signifies you're closer, no way she's going to trust someone that easily. ]

We'll see later on. If I tell you, you're just going to try extra hard to impress me without evven meaning it.

[ventoaureo]

...do you really assume that I'm the sort of person that would go out of my way to impress someone? I'll tell you this; I'm never looking to impress someone, even for my own benefits. You are not a special case, either, so I'd treat you the same as anyone else.

[Wow that was a little blunt, but whatever, he had to get that truth out there in the meantime.]

[integrous]

[ .. Are you sure you want to be blunt to a girl who could explode at the smallest thing, Giorno.. ]

W.. well.. [ See, even now she chokes up for a moment, but then she just points at him. ] It's not like I'm looking to impress you either or anything, don't misunderstand..!

[ventoaureo]

[Tsun harder Asahi Well, it's not like he knows her in the first place, they barely met! Even moreso that Giorno's giving her the blankest stare right now...he...wasn't even looking to be impressed in the first place...]

...hm. You certainly seem to have left an impression with me, however. Asahi, was it? I think that I might enjoy running into you more and more as we spend our time in this tower.

[integrous]

[ He doesn't know how to handle tsunderes.. are they a thing that exists.. ]

Don't try to flatter me! [ HE JUST SAID HE WASN'T TRYING TO-- ASAHI, CALM DOWN. ] Y-.. yeah, I'm sure we'll see each other again, so..

[ Even she can't handle her own tsun. She's making an escape, she needs some space..! ]

Bye!

[ ... she's just running off.. ]
