[Dorm Room 2-08]
[Upon waking up, his first cue was the temporary sleep paralysis that threw him for a loop. When Kido became more conscious, he grew aware that nothing around him was his own. The room, the bed...this suit? Considering that, through everyone's efforts, was able to put an end to Sensui things would have calmed down. And he got turned down by the girl he asked out. When reading the letter, Kido hadn't expected trouble to surface so soon. He didn't want to buy that his world was in ruins like it stated.

Eventually he pulled himself off the bed to notice a trunk at the end of the bed. You gotta open things lying around right? Well he did, and look it here, some actual clothes were in it! They weren't just any clothes either, they were his.]


[Media Room]
[Now that he was all dressed and proper he had moved on from the dorm room. Media room was a little spice of home, but this wasn't really the time to play around. Every so often he would have to take breaks from those flight of stairs. Yusuke could probably scale them no problem. Hell anyone from his group could have. He didn't venture onto any untrustworthy floors. Which was a lot of them, especially the gory and scenic ones. Because one, who walks into a blood floor? And two, how can landscape even prosper inside a building? A media room was a little more reasonable and others were already here.]


[Cafeteria]
[Lastly was the cafeteria, the very bottom of the tower and also one of the floors that seemed to harbor a large number of people. At least compared to most of the others. The menu...was as various as ever. Nutrition bars and water...then the oatmeal.]

Is this an institution?

[What kind of salvation was this?]

Comments

Cafeteria

[ainohenshin]

[ Kuwabara ventured to the cafeteria to get something down his stomach even if it tasted like cardboard boxes. He grabbed a few and balanced Eikichi in one hand, while trying to keep balance with his water bottle. It was a nice form of discipline for him to try to do things beyond his abilities. He's been training himself silly since he was here. He didn't want to be behind when he got back home.

Hell the voice made him turn and double take. He then dropped all the shit that was in his hands onto the floor, except his cat in which was hanging at the end of his long sleeve sweat shirt. Kuwabara floored it and ran right up to him surprised as hell. ]

KIDO!!!

[shadowpractice]

[It was not long before someone all too familiar came around; in light of the situation the sensation was almost surreal to him. His world evidently had been destroyed and now he wasn't the only one saved.

Not that Kido knew the duration of time Kuwabara has actually been here.]

Kuwabara?

What's going on? I thought everything was taken care of.

[ainohenshin]

[ Kuwabara stood right in front of him looking him over for a moment. Is that really Kido? He hadn't changed a bit since Kuwabara last saw him and that was a long time for him considering his preparations for college and stuff. He hadn't seen Kido that much since his detective days. Hell, Kido hadn't even grown all that much either.

The next thing he does is headlock Kido, why? Because he was so damn surprised to see someone from home and he was relieved. ]

You haven't changed a bit Kido!

[ He tightened his grip. ]

How're ya doin!'

[shadowpractice]

[He certainly didn't remember Kuwabara being so prone to physical contact, especially with him since he hadn't really spent as much time with him like Kido had with Yusuke. The rather passive psychic tried to politely wedge out of Kuwabara's grip, but found his attempt to be useless.]

Ah! Kuwabara! [asjdhkasd]

I have no idea what's going on.

What are we doing here?

[ainohenshin]

[ Well, this was because everything was the past to him and also because those years, they must have spent time in contact with one another. Kuwabara didn't know where Kido was from so it might cause some confusion but hell, he didn't care. He was glad t see an ally here even though he would rather not see them here. ]

Well to answer yer question, we're in some sorta shit hole tower and when you say thing that was taken care of, ya meen Sensui and his goons right?

[ He tightened his grip more. ] That ain't the response you give to a guy after not seein' them for a while ya know?

Guess that means you just got here. We can't escape this place cuz some crazy asshole decided that they are our saviours and our homes are destroyed or some shit like that.

[shadowpractice]

[Escape was futile, but he didn't really want to be locked up in a hold like this. As much as it must have been comforting to Kuwabara, it only further disoriented Kido.]

M-My apologies! [He didn't mean to offend his friend by the lack of greeting.] I'm very glad to see you, honest!

[Can you please let him go now?]

Yes, Sensui, his reign had been put to an end only a few days ago. [Which should help Kuwabara learn where in history Kido is from.]

You can't be serious!

[It seemed like ever since he got these powers, things only got worse. Really, he wouldn't mind losing them if it meant he could leave peacefully again.]

[ainohenshin]

[ Yep, Kuwabara trained everyday and all day to get stronger. He took himself to the limit with the monsters here and took chances. Kuwabara was no the same as Kido knew him. He grew a bit for the better as he kept Kido in a lock for a bit longer before letting him go. He could feel that Kido was getting rather uncomfortable with his hold. ]

I didn't mean it seriously, Kido. I am glad you're safe and everything. It's not everyday I get ta see people from my world here ya know?

Yeah we handed him in good and stuff but Urameshi was so damn upset about it and-- wait ya mean it's only been a few days since Sensui's incident?!

[ He was rather surprised to hear that yeah even if he expected it. ] I wish I was shittin ya but this is the reality of stuff. We're stuck here jus' like the hundreds of people here already.

Media Room

[xroyal_bratx]

[ Ishtar found the karaoke machine, and she's softly singing to some of the songs on the machine. She had always found the media room fascinating. She found things she could never find at home and it was also nostalgic. She remembered that the common room in Facility had some things like this.

She remembered the card games she played and the karaoke she learned from Ichiru, and then singing it out with Itsuki. The old days that she could not go back to. At least now, she would live for tomorrow with Darres' support. She still hadn't gotten over a lot of things, but having Darres here helped her a lot. She turned her head to notice an unfamiliar face in the media room and she placed the mic down and turned to him. ]

Hello, are you lost?

[shadowpractice]

[Kido hadn't actually planned on talking to anyone here, he was just taking a break from walking down all those stairs. He's never passed through so many floors before in one session.]

If you consider trying to get to the ground level lost, I think I am.

[xroyal_bratx]

[ Ishtar knew that he wasn't someone who had been here long with his response. She pushed herself off the couch and walked over to him for a more formal conversation. She didn't want to be too rude, even if formalities were the least of her worries. ]

Well, there isn't really a ground level. There's a first floor and other things like the morgue but you won't be able to get out of here. I'm sorry to bring you bad news haha.

[shadowpractice]

[How can she say all of that so casually?]

Are you saying we're trapped in here?

[xroyal_bratx]

[ Because it was hard to not say it casually. Ishtar was so used to it, that it didn't bother her too much. ]

In short, yeah....that's about right. I mean sorry, I should probably be freaked but I'm not. I mean I've been here for a while now so it doesn't really faze me if you get what I mean....

[shadowpractice]

[So it was like that, was it?]

When you say "for a while" how long do you mean?

Dorm Room 2-08

[thinkwisely]

[Ivan stops in the doorway on his way back from the bathroom when he sees someone rummaging through one of the other trunks in the room. Presumably a newcomer, given his current lack of normal attire.]

Hello. We must be roommates. [Ivan gives a small wave as he steps inside. It's a bit of an awkward gesture, but he clearly means well.] I'm new here, too. I just woke up a couple of days ago.

[shadowpractice]

[Oh... someone else who was part of this room? There were two additional beds too, he wondered if they must have also belonged to others.]

We are? [A couple of days huh?] Who are you?

[thinkwisely]

I think so. [He points over at one of the other beds.] That's where I woke up. And my name's on the door, as well. I'm Ivan.

[shadowpractice]

[Roommates huh? Was that for better or for worse?]

The name's Kido.

Who're the other two? [Who aren't here right now.]

[thinkwisely]

[Ivan looks up at the names written on the door.]

It says their names are Emil and Soul...though, I haven't officially met them yet, myself. You're the first one I've had a chance to talk to.

[shadowpractice]

I see, and we're booked here indefinitely?

[At least he seemed nice.]

The name's Asato Kido.

[May as well get formal.]

Cafeteria

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sometimes came into the cafeteria to eat normal food and make people think that she didn't actually stuff her face with books when no one was looking. As usual, her retrieval unit, Ivan, followed her, wearing his nametag, paper hat, and his sign that spoke about the possible fate of the souls that went back home.

However, when she heard someone with a bowl of oatmeal speak up about this being an institution, she smiled and wandered over to them.]

It's more of a rescue attempt gone horribly wrong. I'm guessing that you're new here?

[shadowpractice]

That seems like an understatement.

[Seriously though. Nutrition bars and water?]

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko sighed but..nodded a little.]

It is..but it's hard to find the right words sometimes to describe just how terrible the Administrators can be sometimes. They tend to stomp on our free will and spit in any face of kindness they can find. At least, Jason and Ruana do. Riki does that sometimes too, but Jason and Ruana are the worst.

[shadowpractice]

Nothing like your persons in power taking it too far.

[tohko_amano]

Well..it is horrible, but not all of them are like that. Dax was a good man while he was alive, and while Zo doesn't have much power, he's still pretty kind to us. And we're working to overthrow them and learn more about this place.

[shadowpractice]

Skirmishes for power usually have causalities don't they?
