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.]

They have... I've seen it for myself, and so have others. There was once a man among our hosts, too, who gave his life to show us the truth of this place; if it was a lie, I believe he would have said so.

They can only save one person from each world... The people here from the same world are in fact from two similar worlds.

*A heavy pause.* It...took me a long time to accept that. It wouldn't speak ill of you if you don't.

*Three people here including himself from his own world - three Earths, destroyed...three Earths, three Heavens. Three Gods. Gone. Dead. His mind recoiled from the thought as fast as it approached it, quickly shifting back to the conversation.*

They have no choice - they're only able to save one person at a time. Those they can't save...their bodies die. Their souls...we don't know for certain, but...

*Enoch shakes his head. He can't just dump all this on him at once. The poor guy's panicking, and he himself isn't feeling much better about the idea of talking about it.*

*Enoch looks up to focus on the little tanuki again.*

...I know it seems like there's little hope to be had. But one of our hosts was working to find a way to restore the destroyed worlds.

He...gave his life for us. He showed us a fundamental truth of this place that some of us were only beginning to realize, and was killed for it. But his research still survives somewhere, and I know one of these days we will find it.

Of course - or, we're looking for those opportunities to learn more about it. Quite honestly, I hope the others are working on it as much as he was.
