Another place, another high tech device.

Characters: [OU] Allen Walker, and you.
Setting: Room 1-06, Bathroom/Hallway, Floor 81, Floor 38, and Cafeteria.
Format: Either
Summary: Allen wakes up in the tower and finds himself in a situation he's familiar with.
Warnings: Mentions of violence, and head games.



Room 1-06

'Mana' was the cause of everything.

Allen snaps awake and jerks upright with a low hiss. For a second all he can see is where he'd been, on the wrecked city street with the Earl acting stranger than usual. He can still taste the dust in the air and the blood in his mouth. He gingerly reaches up touches the side of his mouth. The blood is still there, but it's dry. He lets his hand drop and looks around at last, his eyes taking in the plain walls and the strange surroundings.

What had happened between the last thing he'd remembered and now? He starts to move his head and notices something is around his neck. "What. The..." His hands come up and brush over metal. "A collar?" Had the Order come and caught him? Had the Earl? He traces the whole way around the metal collar and doesn't find any seam or lock that he could pick.

He finally notices a letter sitting innocently near by and picks it up. Maybe it has an answer for him.

Bathroom/Hallway

His world destroyed? That didn't seem right. It had to be a joke. Within the confines of the bathroom Allen stares into the mirror and uses it to study the thing around his neck. It's not like any sort of collar he's ever seen before. What is with the fluid streaming through it? He taps it with a finger and goes back to washing his face and cleaning up the blood and dust from his person.

He's not going to touch the showers. It could be some trap to catch him. He pauses at that thought and grips the sink. The cool porcelain feels good under his fingers and he laughs quietly. "Maybe I'm being too paranoid." His reflection doesn't answer.

At least the shadow that used to lurk just beyond it is gone. That's better than nothing.

Floor 81

He's seen some really strange sights as he's made his way down the stairs. It's all been so familiar that he can't shake the feeling that Nea might have called the Ark to save them. The idea makes him a little sick. If that's the reality then...he needs to get away from Johnny and Kanda now. Not later. With the cuffs missing he can run to the farthest corners of the world and elude them.

He halts in the middle of walking and stares at nothing. Does he really want to run from them? They said they were trying to help (Kanda did in his own way). As much as he doesn't like to admit it, it's been nice having people around. Allen shakes his head and steps onto the new floor, surprised that he's in something that looks normal.

He perks up at the sight of windows. They look dangerous but he can just use Crowned clown if something happens. ...if it will obey him. He strides to get a good look at just where he is.

Floor 38

Another floor that seems normal. After the last one, Allen's wary. Only the Ark is capable of moving people to impossible places. The tower seems similar and he doesn't like the idea of it one bit. He hasn't seen hide or hair of Timcampy and that bothers him just as much as the rest of the situation. Whatever had taken him. It had singled him out.

This floor is made of glass, and like last time he saw something with a view, he peers about. The uneasy feeling that's been persisting and nagging at him the more he descends, eases just a little bit. Being below the clouds is closer to the ground. He doesn't have a fear of heights but the last view had been alarming. Even the tower the Order had called home didn't reach that high.

Anyone who ventures onto this floor will find him staring down at the floor with a frown on his face.

Cafeteria

Until he knows what's in the food, Allen is going to refuse to eat. He sits at a table by himself with some water and drinks it slowly. He's seen some people as he passes through down the stairs and some really...strange sights. He'd had to go find some spot and dry heave after the flesh and organs floor he'd seen on his way down. All of it just couldn't be done by normal means. Only someone or something that can move through time and space. Allen keeps watching anyone who passes by and sips his water.

Staring is rude but he's a bit too tired and off his usual mood to care. Every now and then he tugs at the collar and tries to yank it off. he'll growl every time he's met with failure. Why do high tech inventions keep being used on him?!

The black-haired teenager flinches at the question, before looking away. That should have answered a nice, painful 'yes' to the world's being destroyed. Closing his eyes a moment, he spoke in a rather flat tone, "There are plenty of things that... say that our worlds have ceased to exist. There's even a floor that... shows the remains of what was. It's different for each person--we each seen our own world."

Sighing, Ganta reached up and ran a hand through his still damp hair.

"Fortunately, you'll more than likely find people you know here." 'People you know', being the key phrase, as opposed to 'people from your world', "But there's a chance their memories will be different from yours. Or they could even have something as drastic as a physical difference."

Looking down, he furrows his brow. Both people he knows--or knew of, before coming here--have different memories than him.

Even though he's finally started to completely believe it, he hasn't given up, yet. He'll still fight--still find a way to restore his world. As much as returning to that prison would suck, he'd get over it. After all, he could still escape from it. Being there would be nothing compared to stay trapped here, where there isn't even a chance of returning to a civilized life, later.

"Well, uh... For example, them being younger or older than you remember?" He hasn't come across anyone, himself, but he's listened in the cafeteria, as well as the hallways.

"You can check the computers around here." He gestures, showing he means this particular area, "You can put up a message to whoever you're looking for--maybe even post a request to everyone, with a description of them? It they're here, someone should see it and let you know. There's a lot of helpful people--some... maybe even a little too helpful. You'll never be alone here, though, that's for sure." He pauses.

"... Everyone... seems to stick together really well, around here. So..." To that, he gives a soft smile and nod--he's trying to cheer Allen up, obviously.
woodpeckermaruta: (nervous; a-ah... well... okay.)

"Oh, you don't?" Ganta pauses.

That's actually something he would have never thought of. He's from a time on his world, where everyone knows how to use a computer. Scratching the side of his face a moment, he finally speaks after several seconds.

"I could help you with that, if you like."
