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

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.

np! /o/

[axeforasong]

[well, when you say something like that... she has to look down, tugging on her sleeves.

Yep, totally still there.]

...No, can see clearly.

Alright then..><;

[tohko_amano]

I know it's not what you're seeing right now, but the Administrators are using illusions to hide the truth from you. They're used all over the Tower..and even our beds aren't actually beds. They're pods, filled with collar fluid.

[axeforasong]

Eeeh?

[looking suspiciously down at the bed.



...now jumping on it]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko would look pretty flustered at that and would motion for her to stop while she spoke.]

Ah, stop that! You shouldn't jump in your pod! If you break it, it's going to cause a lot of problems for you!

[axeforasong]

...Feels like bed though?

[tohko_amano]

I know it feels like it, but that's because the Administrators are using illusions to cover up the truth and hide it from you.

[axeforasong]

How?

[tohko_amano]

Through the glamour system, which is run on the power supply here in the Tower, which is slowly running out. I'm sorry, but I don't know much more about it than that.

[axeforasong]

...Looks real, should be real, yes?

[tohko_amano]

But not everything is as it seems sometimes, especially here.

[axeforasong]

[oh, that's familiar...]

...Is another Game, then?

[tohko_amano]

Another Game? Were you in a different world other than your own before coming here?

[axeforasong]

Twice over!

[tohko_amano]

Oh..I'm sorry to hear that! You must really miss your home a lot then..were the other two universes you were in nice? What were they like?

[axeforasong]

[hmm, well...] First was cold and we had to kill each other, second was Poland and wonderful.

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko sighed and tried to pat the girl on the head.]

I see..I'm sorry you had to fight and kill each other in the first place then. That must have been horrible.

[axeforasong]

[accepting headpats]

Ah, wasn't so bad! Could bring people back - even managed to die twice! Everyone got out alive in the end!

[tohko_amano]

[Which was good, since Tohko tended to give out a lot of them. However, she did manage to smile a little at that information.]

Well, that's good! I'm glad to hear that..and this place is a little similar. If you die here, it won't be permanent. It's best to try and stay alive though. We never know when they'll decide to stop bringing back people.

[axeforasong]

But can be brought back, yes? Then, is nothing to worry!

[tohko_amano]

But..the Administrators are the ones who bring us back! And they're already mad at us, so it's best not to risk dying if we can help it.

[axeforasong]

...Can't find out how they do it? Assumed was Tower...

[tohko_amano]

No, the Tower's not sentient, so it can't do anything by itself. We know the basic process, but we don't have the tools to do so, and we don't know much about the process in detail.

[axeforasong]

But can learn?

[tohko_amano]

I imagine we can, if we work hard enough. But it's going to take a long time, and it's very dangerous, so that's why you shouldn't throw your life away willy-nilly.
