oo1. I've got headaches and bad luck. [open!]

Characters: Apollo Justice and you!
Setting: Room 4-20, the two libraries, and the fourth floor.
Format: I'll be starting with action, but I'll match whatever's given.
Summary: Curious lawyers and horror towers don't mix well. Apollo's arrival accommodates an abundance of apprehensive attempts to accustom an attorney to the abundance of aspects Animus animates.
Warnings: None that I can think of!

room 4-20 [closed to roommates].
[Apollo wakes with a start. Or, at least he would if he could. It doesn't take very long for the panic to set in - being of sound mind and body most of the time, the sleep paralysis is unusual, and it definitely doesn't help that he has no idea where he is. When the thirty seconds are up, he manages to stay in bed rather than roll out of it as quickly as he can. He takes his letter with shaking hands and tries to absorb the information all in one go. It doesn't work, of course, and he ends up sitting in bed, rereading the letters several times.

Once he puts down the papers, he goes to his trunk and stares at its contents. The tremble is still present, his eyes are unfocused, and he's trying his damnedest not to panic.

floor 19 library.
[After tripping over several stair cases and almost forgetting about the existence of the elevator altogether, Apollo manages to find himself in the library. The relief that washes over him is evident in the color in his face - he looks livelier now, though you might be able to blame the flush on his running around. He pores over as many books as he possibly can, and his frustration over the lack of information about the tower slowly grows. If you were to speak to him, he might just break out an example of his Chords of Steel.]

floor 3 library.
[As he goes through the books on this floor, he seems to be taking his time. He has several stacks of books next to him as he sits alone at a table. It's always best to gather as much information on a subject before tackling it, Apollo believes in this firmly. Though by now, his shoulders are tense and each flick of the page seems to be wrought with irritation.]

floor 4 lounge.
[Having done as much research as he could manage, Apollo has decided that trying to get his mind in order is his best choice of action. He's curled up on a chair near the corner of the room, staring out the glass walls. That tension is still about him, clear in his tight shoulders and defensive posture - his knees are drawn to his chest and his arms are wrapped around them - but he seems to be calm and collected.]

Mamoru woke up quickly, as always. Not being able to move once he woke up was new, though, and the sense of someone else in the room with him only made it worse. The other person's panic pressing against his own emotions was just the icing on a horrible cake.

By the time he could move, all he could manage was to sit up with a gasp. Everything else could come later, once he had himself back under control. His eyes darted around the room, but nothing looked familiar.

[ Maya knows that new people usually arrive at this time. But when she sees Apollo looking pretty tense, yet calm, she decides to walk towards him and attempt to surprise him. ]

Hi!

Floor 3 library | ... the alliteration in that warning, why aren't you playing Valant

[ Hello, Apollo--there's a pretty short androgynous-looking person peeking over at what you're doing. They were using the Terminal, and in their hands is a... is that a tiny blue chicken? Yes, yes it is. To make matters even odder, they're wearing a positively outlandishly outdated outfit: green tunic and hat, sword and shield, bow and quiver, some odd mechanical thing around the belt on their waist, gauntlets on their gloves...

They're watching for a bit before they poke their head over to see what you're doing, since you scream of "fresh meat" to them, and Link is always a curious, helpful sort. ]


... The frustration is natural, they have removed any references to the Tower itself, but I might be able to help you a little more than a book... if... you would like?

[ The weensy blue rooster in Link's arms clucks quietly. Who are you, person? ]
ocariness: (Zora Tunic: Pleasantly.)

hahaha same, I'd need a dictionary all the time

[personal profile] ocariness 2013-05-12 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Cojiro is going to be giving you a look, Apollo. Haven't you ever heard of pocket cuccos? Sheesh! But Link just smiles warmly, in no way bothered. ]

Well... this is the Tower. But I suppose that is obvious. Um... what kind of questions do you want to know most? I guess we could start there, if you would like? If I am able to answer, I will do my best to help.

[ Link's a naturally quiet sort, recent issues compounding it not withstanding, but if it means helping someone, they've got no problem talking. Plus, Navi isn't here to do that for them. ]

Then I guess my new tactic to scare off monsters worked! Since I still don't have a Steel Samurai spear or something sharp...

[ Oh, wait. That's probably pretty rude. ]

Not that you're a monster or anything!
mayatama: (Default)

[personal profile] mayatama 2013-05-12 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, maybe I will. Or use it the next time I have to yell at someone.

[ Because that's obviously an important thing. Oh, but when someone mentions Steel Samurai, she clenches her hands into tight fists, grinning wide. ]

Yeah! Do you know it? I have a DVD or two in my luggage, but they don't have something to play it on, so it's not helpful to have at all!

Awake two minutes and already a headache. He pressed a hand to his head, eyes finally focusing on the other man in the room. "Who am I? Who are you? ...Where am I?"

At least the fear said whatever was going on, it wasn't Apollo's fault, but maybe he'd still know enough to enlighten the rest of the class.

It's kind of hard sometimes when they pop around everywhere, you know!

[ She knows from experience. But wait, that name-- ]

"Mr. Wright"? Are you talking about Nick?
mayatama: (Default)

[personal profile] mayatama 2013-05-12 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
That is Nick! Well, that's what I call him anyway. And of course I know who he is. After all, I'm the assistant of the Wright and Co Law Offices.

[ YEP, best way to introduce yourself, Maya.. ]

The slightly flat look said 'attorney at law' probably wasn't the answer he'd been expecting, but if nothing else, he'd been trained to roll with the punches. Even the... extra weird ones.

He dropped his head into his hands with a sigh, letting his own unease bleed to the surface to buy him a bit of time put his thoughts in order and find somewhere to slot away Apollo's emotions until he could think properly. It wasn't easy. Doing his best to project mental waves of calm, if only so he could get the guy to stop giving him a headache via second-hand panic, he raised his head with a frightened smile. "I'm sorry. I'm Mamoru. This is just... a lot."
ocariness: (Angry; hurt.)

Well all you need to do now is practice CHORDS OF STEEEEEL!!!!

[ ... Oh. They recognize this sort of feeling. Link's expression hardens a bit. Link had pretty much been wandering around here solely to work at assisting the resistance movement and, honestly, though the Hylian cannot say it, they wish they could tell Apollo there is hope for them to possibly restore their homes, in some form. If nothing else, to ESCAPE HERE, but Link wants to go easy on him. ]

... Yes. But there is still hope. ... You must believe me. I cannot say why, but there is a chance still that we will, if nothing else, find a way to right this wrong. ... But it is true. I have seen it with... my own eyes.

[ Courage. It's evident. Link went through months of hell being back in Hyrule, and seeing it in such a state was... horrendous. ]

That does not mean the people you knew are gone, however.

He shook his head with a soft, shy laugh, amping up the projected calm in slow waves as it seemed to be working. "No Mister. Just Mamoru. Or Mamoru-kun, I guess, but... you're not Japanese, are you?" Not with a name like that, he didn't think.

He looked around again more carefully, taking in the arrangement of the room and the fact that it seemed so very ordinary despite having the feeling that it was anything but. He was becoming aware of more people somewhere nearby but too far away for him to get anything more than a vague sense of them. Was this some sort of prison?

[Tohko, as usual, was organizing books, cleaning up books, and attending to her job. Of course, her retrieval unit stalker was following her, but she was slowly starting to get used to him..even if she didn't like him following her around and invading her privacy.

However, when she saw a boy looking through a book, she wandered up to him, her stalker not too far behind.]

Good morning! Need help finding anything?
