1st Swing

[axeforasong]

Characters: Mayu, open
Setting: Dormitories, Cafeteria
Format: Action
Summary: First day in the Tower.
Warnings: Crazy midget axe-wielding singers.

A) Room 1-09
[Mayu awakes with a jolt, looking about with wild eyes, hands going to her neck almost instinctively, finding the collar and... Mayu can only sigh.]

...Lost my head again?

B) Dorms
[Mayu can be found half dancing, half skipping about the dormitory corridors, apparently trying to take in everything at once... axe twirling about in one hand. Is it normal for new arrivals to be this... merry?]

C) Elevator
[You know how long it takes for the elevator to reach the bottom? Because Mayu is finding out the hard way.

...Who wants to spend it with a bored, axe wielding midget?]

D) Cafeteria
Huh?!

[Guess who just found the cafeteria menu]

But is all dull!

Comments

D

[colonial]

'Cause it's a bad month for food. [America nods, looking as if he's very well-acquainted with the food cycles of the cafeteria.] Bars an' water this month, but next month'll probably be better.

[axeforasong]

[Mayu sighs, twirling her axe dejectedly]

Should hope, yes? If bad food where's point?

[colonial]

[America nods in agreement. He glances at the axe and takes note of it, but doesn't seem especially bothered by it.]

Jason says making other food's pointless but that's just because he's dumb.

Elevator

[wrigurun]

[Mayu isn't the only short person in the elevator. Wriggle stands on the opposite side of the floor, staring at Mayu's axe cautiously. In her hands is a small box with a lid.

She always found these rides terribly boring too and normally she would spend it pacing or hovering around but she didn't want to accidentally fly into anything sharp]

[axeforasong]

[uuuugh, boored, boooored, booooooored.

It's lack of anything better to do that makes her tilt her head.]

What's in the box?

[wrigurun]

[Being acknowledged catches her by surprise but she doesn't stop staring at the axe]

N-Nothing!

But I'm gonna fill it with bugs and train with them later...

B

[invisible_friendship]

[Her unusual borderline frolic was more than enough to catch his attention. In addition, also didn't have a familiar face, he suspected she was new.]

Do you always skip around like that?

[axeforasong]

[that makes her pause, twirling the axe almost automatically]

...Not always?

[invisible_friendship]

So why now? Aren't you sad about being here?

A, hello crazy roomie!

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko had finished up with her librarian duties and had managed to ditch Ivan and carry a few books back to her room for reading and eating when..she saw someone new in her room. It looked like they had filled Saber's empty spot, and while Tohko sighed, she managed to keep smiling as she put her books on her bed and turned to the girl.]

Well..technically, the head you have right now isn't deattached, but I'm sad to say that your original body is back at home.

[axeforasong]

Ah, so is okay then? [scars are itchy okay. Still running her fingers around the 'edges' of the collar, searching for a groove]

What is this for, then?

[-aaaand belatedly noticing you have one of your own. Headtilt?]

And plot things finally got cleared up! I'm so sorry about the wait! ><;

[tohko_amano]

Well..I'm not sure if it's okay or not, but it does ensure that your soul stays in the body you have now. However..I'm sorry to say this, but the body you have now..you're only really seeing the collar part of it.

D- Cafeteria

[mostremaining]

[Prussia happens to be walking behind the newcomer and can't help but overhear her remark.]

Yep! Them's the breaks in this tower. Also, if you're new, you have to eat the oatmeal. Have to. Otherwise you'll do nothing but barf till you eat it. It's weird, I know, but it's true.

[axeforasong]

[eeeeh?]

Thought bars made of oatmeal anyway?

[mostremaining]

Nah, the bars are a bit different, I think. The oatmeal you need to eat when you first start out is the soupy stuff. It tastes like hot water, but it'll spare you all the barfing. Which is, of course, a good thing.

'sup roomie

[sageprincess]

[The young woman in the bed across from Mayu's looks up from her book when the girl suddenly sits up, eyebrows raised in mild surprise. Ah, so this is her new roommate, is it?

... What did she just say?]

Pardon?

[axeforasong]

[Mayu just sighs petulantly]

It keeps happening. Last time like this, at least lasted a day or two first...

[sageprincess]

[...

Well, that's different.]

I... see. Well, you will be happy to know the collar is not a sign of having been decapitated then. Everyone who awakens here has one.

[Lowering her book, she gestures to her own indigo collar.]

See?

B

[notsogrimreaper]

[Well. Someone is having a good day. Ryoji walks past with a nervous grin for the abnormally cheery girl. She's cute, of course, but that axe is just a little intimidating. Should a little girl be carrying a weapon like that? He knows by now he shouldn't underestimate some of the residents here, but still.]

Ah, hello there! If you're looking to kill monsters, most of them don't come out until later at night.

[axeforasong]

[Mayu just kind of shrugs]

Does fighting monsters win Game?

B

[cutestprogrammer]

... [It certainly startles Chihiro to see her skipping around so happily and twirling that axe around so dangerously!

He quickly backs away and tries to flee!!]

/2 (also pffff- SORRY CHIHIRO)

[axeforasong]

-Hmm?

[...did that kid just flee in terror?]

[axeforasong]

[CHASING AFTER IN CONCERN]

Hey, what's wrong?

D

[blackwitch]

Hmm..? If you don't like the usual menu, then what kind of food do you like?

[ Guess what, there's someone just as merry. Despite having been here for a long time. Sure, Evatrice isn't the way she used to be anymore, she doesn't have as much actual joy in everything anymore, but.. well, she can try. ]

Candies, that sort of stuff?

...I'm going to regret this aren't I

[axeforasong]

Suppose. Any paluszki?
