you need a bloody shower [post-event mingle]

[bloodyashes]

Characters: Any and all!
Setting: Floor 77, sauna
Format: Action-mingle - start your own threads!
Summary: The event is over and everyone who was stuck in the dorms needs a serious bath.
Warnings: Post-event shenanigans? Also baths so p much everyone is at least partially naked.

And so now that you've made your way free of the hell that is the dorm rooms -

This floor mimics a sauna--there are three entrances: one for men, one for women, and one for mixed. Inside each room is the wooden interior one would expect. Outside each area is a small changing room with lockers--if you look, you'll find one with your name on it. The locker will only open up for you. It might be a good place to store things, actually...

- it's time for everyone to take a bath! There's both hot, steamy stalls and large hot spring pools - but you'd better hurry! It's gonna get crowded in here kind of fast.

And hey, keep that towel closed, there's children in here!

That could be it... [ He shakes his head, considering it. Uncertainly: ]

My own guess is those explosions damaged something or temporarily disabled a function in the Tower. Has there been any past incidents involving ghostly children and sterile environments like this hospital?

[alephbet]

I don't know. It seems to me that I'm unaware of a lot that goes on in the tower.

[Guess who's never been down to the admin levels or a member of Pandora...]

[altitonant_emperor]

[ Somebody who happens to be in the same boat there: Hidetoshi. ]

Hmn. [ He sighs. ] Yeah, so it does.

[alephbet]

It's impossible to be aware of everything that goes on, but I wish I wasn't left out of the loop...

[altitonant_emperor]

[ At that, Hidetoshi grimaces. He grudgingly admits it's indeed impossible to be aware of everything occurring, but: ] Speaking from experience, being left out of the loop is unpleasant. It's difficult to act when you don't have very much of the large picture to work with.

[alephbet]

I don't miss when everything seemed to revolve around me, but at least a moderate amount of knowledge would be nice.

[Being the most important person on the world was unpleasant.]

[altitonant_emperor]

[ Let's not debate the general unpleasantness of being a protag vs. being a NPC. ]

Being the Messiah must have been quite stressful. [ Aleph gets some sympathy! ] Some knowledge is better than none at all, I can agree there.

[alephbet]

[Yeah, let's not.]

--It's hard, really, whatever you know or don't know. Because it's the Tower.

[altitonant_emperor]

... True. Honestly, sometimes it's like this place was created solely to be an nightmare.

[ He closes his eyes, feeling tired. A... what, a year by now since it was October? in the Tower felt too long. ]

[alephbet]

I wouldn't doubt it.

[He knows that feeling well.]

[altitonant_emperor]

[ :v ]

I'd like to have a word with whoever thought the whole idea up in the first place. A very stern word.

[alephbet]

Better than me. I'd like to hit them.

[altitonant_emperor]

[ He snorts. ] They would have that, and several more punches coming to them, to be frank.

[alephbet]

If we had one for everyone who's been in the tower... you've seen the graveyard. They wouldn't be left standing.

[The graveyard has hundreds of markers after all.]

[altitonant_emperor]

[ That's a depressing thought. :| not the administrators getting knocked down bit, the graveyard bit. ]

No, they would not. They'd certainly be beaten to a pulp. [ But would that be justice? Hidetoshi wasn't certain.

In all senses of the word, they would deserve it, these bullying tyrants, but would it be justice? ]

[alephbet]

[Justice is complicated.]

If that was the case, we would need to form lines.

[altitonant_emperor]

[ The agonies of being Law. ]

Those would be a couple of very long lines. People would cut in line to get their turn sooner, too. [ He observed dryly. ] And I suppose we still have a few months to length them even further.

[alephbet]

Maybe everyone punching them, while satisfying, isn't such a good idea just for practical reasons.

[altitonant_emperor]

[ right. ]

It would eat up a lot of time. Perhaps we should dream while we can, and focus on defeating them in the first place.

[ Hidetoshi folds his hands together underwater. ]

[alephbet]

That sounds like a good plan to me.

[Siiigh. But where to start with that.]

[altitonant_emperor]

[ ........... How do you defeat a superpowered kid, an architect, a six-armed plague-doctor-faced scienist, and Ruana? ............

He doesn't know. As a joke; ]

We should strongly consider exorcising Ruana.

[alephbet]

Those can go wrong so easily though. And I don't know how to do one.

[...he missed the joke.]

[altitonant_emperor]

[ Hidetoshi could almost hear the "whoosh." ]

I was being facetious, Aleph-san.

[alephbet]

Oh. I didn't realize.

[woooooosh]

[altitonant_emperor]

[ His feathers aren't too ruffled anyway. ]

It's fine.
