it all keeps adding up, i think i'm cracking up;
Characters: Tobias and open.
Setting: Floor 14, Floor 63, and Floor 87
Format: Either.
Summary: A day in the life of a birdboy?
Warnings: Probably nothing aside from usual body horror if he morphs. Maybe mild language?
[Floor 14]
[Even with everything that happened, Tobias is still a teenager. A nerdy teenager, at that. So it's not really that surprising for someone like him to be on the media floor, playing a video game - an FPS, specifically.]
[What is probably surprising, at least for other people, is that he's still in his hawk morph, perched on the controller. One talon is on the stick controlling movement, and the other is resting on the face buttons.]
[… These graphics are awesome.]
[Floor 63]
[Birds are not made for water, generally - at least not hawks. That's just not something they do. But Tobias is fighting that instinct today as he rolls himself out into the water.]
[Today, he's decided to use his dolphin morph, despite having almost been drowned acquiring it. There's just something about being a dolphin that's sheer fun, even though he's eyeing some of the fish uneasily. Still, the dolphin instinct takes over, so anyone heading through this level will see a dolphin speeding around, chittering and trying to play with the fish.]
[Every so often he pokes his head into the column of air around the stairs, spraying out a wet breath from his blowhole and sucking in another fresh breath before zooming away again.]
[Floor 87]
[It's not totally unlike Tobias to sit and admire wildlife. He's part of the wildlife, after all. He'd smell the flowers, but his sense of smell is way inferior to most of his other senses now. Even still, it's not that hard to spot the flash of reddish-brown from the stairs.]
[It's starting to get harder to spot him, though. Tobias closes his eyes, hunkering down a bit. A nap shouldn't hurt, right?]
[Hasn't he seen this in a movie somewhere?]

<Most don't, no. But I do.>

....well, as strange as it is, Arturia has dealt with stranger in her life even before coming to the Tower. A hawk playing video games? Why not?]
I'm partial to fighters myself.
[She just takes a seat on the other end of the couch to wait her turn.]
I take it games such as this are common where you come from?

[... He should try to be more social.]
<We could play a fighting game if you want.>

[It's a little hard to tell in thought-speech, but the tone's joking. Mostly.]
no subject
Yes, but I doubt you can do so and it truly does not matter whether you win the fight or not. [Hence her liking fighters: if she loses them, it's not a huge lose. Not really. It's just a game, after all.]
no subject
[Still, he hops over to the console and hits the power button and the button to open up the disk drive.]
<Can you give me a hand, though? I don't want to scratch the disk.>
