Characters: watanuki and anyone
Setting: dorm hallways/floor 87/cafeteria
Format: brackets
Summary: watanuki being dumb after waking up in a weird place
Warnings: none???

[Dorm Hallways]

[Watanuki trots through the halls with purpose. He's on a mission to find out what the hell happened and he's not giving up until he finds the answer. Sure there was that note he found but he's not dumb enough to believe something like that.

Maybe.

Okay, he's not ruling out that it can be true just yet but he'd like to get some confirmation first. Besides, he needs to find his friends the other residences of Ayakashi Hall, especially Karuta and Zange, to make sure they're okay.]


[Floor 87 (Poppy Room)]

[Watanuki's pretty sure he's gone down about half a million floors already and there's no end in sight. He's not even sure there's a bottom anymore. The entire way down, he's stuck to the stairway but what he sees on the floors he passes through makes him consider the letter's telling the truth because he's not sure what's real anymore. Either that or a demon's put some kind of spell on him. Or he's dreaming. Everything's confusing and he hates it. He just wants to be home or to see his friends or something.

He lets out a frustrated groan, and finally too tired to move on, he flops down onto right there in the middle of a stair. He lays there on his belly, all four legs stretched out, not really caring whether or not he's in anyone's way. Besides, he's too busy being angry at himself for letting some stairs get the better of him. How pathetic.

Which is why, if anyone were to walk by him, they would hear what appears to be a small raccoon dog mumbling to himself, obviously disgruntled.]


I'm so done with this stupid place.

[Cafeteria]


[It took him travelling down twenty floors before he realized that there were elevators. Twenty floors of odd rooms that can't possibly fit indoors. Twenty floors of slowly getting more and more weirded out by the tower. Not to mention twenty floors of hopping down countless flights of stairs in his tiny tanuki form.

Nevertheless, when he did, he took the elevator straight down to the bottom of the tower. He figured if anything, that's where the exit would be. What he found instead though was a cafeteria. While he's extremely wary of the place now, the smell of food makes his stomach grumble. He stands off to the side, conflicted over the fact of whether or not he should trust the food here.

Eventually, unable to take it anymore (because going down those stairs took a lot of energy) he makes his way over to where he noticed other people picking up food. When he gets there though, he realizes he has another problem. The window is much too high for him to reach.]


Goddammit.

[Watanuki tries to stand up on his hind legs but that doesn't seem to help at all.]

Shit. You've gotta be kidding me.

[He's much too low on energy now to even consider transforming back into his human form so all he can do now is resort to leaping up, in attempts to reach the counter.]

Cafeteria

[Well there's something you don't see every day. Fuzzy forest animals that curse. Kain is wary, because the fuzzy forest animals of the tower tend to be vicious and lethal... but not usually chatty.]

Having problems? Are you in the right place?
ajealouswind: (Intent Stare)

[He wants to laugh. He wants to laugh, but he's not going to laugh, because aside from the small fuzzy thing pitching a fit, there's not much actually funny about the situation. Kain leans in a little, perhaps to better address Watanuki.]

You're having the same not-problem as the rest of us. Welcome to the Tower.

[He could offer sympathies, or maybe advice, or possibly warnings... but no, maybe that would be best left for someone else. He looked to the cafeteria window, looked back down at Watanuki...]

Do you need a boost?
ajealouswind: (Neutrality)

[personal profile] ajealouswind 2013-05-15 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't dare.

[Again, he makes an effort to not laugh. A prideful talking forest creature... what will this place have next? He stands back, crosses his arms, and lets Watanuki jump around a bit more before he speaks again.]

If you're not going to order your food, may I go before you?

[Okay. He's smirking. That's a smirk on his face.]
ajealouswind: (Forward)

[personal profile] ajealouswind 2013-05-19 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose I could...

[Supressing his smirk, Kain steps forward and orders from the cafeteria unit. And when he asks for "something for the chatty one down there, too"... well. He's handed a bowl of oatmeal.]

There. To a table, then, or are you fine with eating on the floor?

[He already knew the answer to that one, and was already taking steps table-wards. It was just hard to not tease such an irritable little thing.]
ajealouswind: (Serious glance)

[personal profile] ajealouswind 2013-05-20 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
If you're not a pet, then what are you?

[It was something that Kain was getting curious about. And he listened intently, even as he set the bowl of oatmeal down alongside his own plate of pasta salad and glass of iced tea.]
ajealouswind: (Intent Stare)

[personal profile] ajealouswind 2013-05-21 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Aah. A shapeshifter? And you find yourself unable to change back?

[He speared some of the pasta onto his fork, but didn't eat just yet. Finally, answers! He was curious to hear more.]
ajealouswind: (Serious glance)

Maybe you'll feel better after a proper meal.

[One could hope. One could also hope that his actual form wasn't something like, say, a bear.]
