Book Girl and...
Characters: Tohko Amano and you!
Setting: The third floor library and the graveyard on July second.
Format: I'm starting in prose, but I'll match you!
Summary: After getting some name tags and a paper hat from Diarmuid, Tohko decides to put the hat and a name tag on 'Ivan' while waiting for other people to respond to her offer. Later on, wondering about some people she hasn't seen in awhile, Tohko wanders over to the graveyard and finds that quite a few of her friends are gone.
Warnings: None so far!
Tohko had been pretty happy since the event was now, officially, over. While she the library, it was nice to actually sleep in a bed without worrying about being cornered by a monster. Ruana's note of her games never going off the script annoyed her though..it sounded like something Wilhelm would say, but..she knew that there were times and chances where her games wouldn't go exactly as planned. After all, that was what they were working towards.
While that didn't change the fact that Ivan, her retrieval unit of a stalker, was constantly following her, Diarmuid's gift of a box of name tags and a paper hat for the 'library helper' did make her smile. So, while waiting for anyone who would take up her offer, Tohko put Ivan's name tag on his chest and the paper hat on his head before looking him over and chuckling.
"It really suits you, Ivan! You have to promise to work hard, now that you have your hat, alright?" She wasn't expecting an answer back, but it felt nice to talk to him sometimes, even if he wasn't really on her side.
Tohko didn't quite know why, but she had an urge to visit Konoha, Ryuto, and Chia again, even if the gravestones weren't real. The sentiment was still there, and that was all that mattered, as far as she was concerned. It didn't feel quite right to have Ivan accompany her though, so it took awhile for her to even get to the graveyard, since she had to run around and take a few trips on the elevator before she could ditch him.
When she did get inside the graveyard, she had to catch her breath for a few moments before walking down the rows of graves..but instead of pausing at the graves of her family and friends, she saw graves for old friends, ones that she didn't know or wasn't aware of the fact that they had left the Tower. She saw Tear's grave, Waver's, Mihli's and a few others. She didn't cry when she saw them. She just put on her mask of a smile, sighed, and patted the stone like she was patting their heads.
"I promise, I'll do my best to save you guys. Immortality's painful..especially when you're alone in a situation like that. I promise, I'll try."

"They do...? But wait a minute, weren't our worlds destroyed? Shouldn't they be gone then?"
no subject
"There are many ways something can be destroyed. The first, what you're thinking of, is complete obliteration, where something doesn't even exist anymore. The second is just simple destruction. Think of it like a teacup that's fallen off the shelf and smashed. You can't use the teacup anymore, but it's still there, even if it is broken. That's the sort of world that they go back to."
no subject
"So like a war then. It's all still there, just... destroyed? So what you're saying is the people who left this tower are stuck in the destroyed remains of their worlds, alone?"
That... sounded horrifying. Unspeakably horrifying, and if Mihli was stuck there? Tohko would probably be able to see the exact moment it clicks, Amelia's eyes widening. "That's horrible...!"
no subject
"I know it is. It's terrible to be stuck in a world like that, especially since they're not even able to die once they are there. But..that's why everyone is working so hard to try and find out the truth: how to restore the universes and take down the Administrators."
no subject
But it doesn't make Tohko's words any less true. "You're right... so I guess there's more than just our lives on the line. I can't even imagine being stuck in an abandoned wasteland."
no subject
"I can imagine it..but it's pretty gruesome. I don't imagine anyone that went back is taking to it well. But..that's why we have to work hard and help them, as well as ourselves."
