arrival to the tower

[doasisay]

Characters: Lelouch and whoever else!
Setting: Dorms/Outside dorm 02-04 and anywhere else - seriously, he's getting the hell out.
Format: Doesn't matter to me.
Summary: Lelouch just got here and he's already freaking out. Feel free to tell him how horrible the other Lelouch who was here before him was! He'll just be like "I didn't do any of that! D'8"
Warnings: None as if yet.

[ it was weird. it felt like...he had just woken up here and nothing else had happened. but it was obvious that something was going on. as soon as he woke up in this new room and in this new outfit - he had to get out! ]

[ by now, he was in the hallway of the dorm rooms, having a bit of a panic attack as he looked back and forth for anyone who might be coming his way. he wanted explanations! but more than that...he just wanted to know that everyone was okay at home or something. was...was it really all gone? was everyone dead? what about...his brother? ]

[ he felt so guilty and angry - with himself mostly. he felt like a failure for not being there to help his brother. but how do you save a world like that?! he didn't even have an idea... besides super powers. pfft, but those didn't exist... ]

[ Lelouch raised his head quickly at the sight of someone coming towards him ] E-Excuse me! Have you seen my brother? He's a bit shorter than me, light brown hair, violet eyes-- [ he's cut off when the person just runs off without answering. RUDE. i mean, wth seriously?? ] Wait! Wait a minute! I didn't even ask you about this place yet!

[Aleph happened to be heading toward the room Lelouch came out of. Besides which, he was obviously a new person freaking out.]

Calm down. Nothing good will come of panicking.

[doasisay]

I...I don't know what's going on. I'd really like it if others would explain it to me instead of just leaving.

Do you have time out of your busy day to answer me?

[alephbet]

Well, for starters, anyone with a clear collar doesn't talk. That's probably who you ran into.

I can tell you a few things about the tower.

[doasisay]

The tower? Is that where I am now? I didn't get much of an explanation, except that my...world was gone. Is everything gone and everyone?

[alephbet]

Yes. Everything is gone. There is hope that we might be able to return the worlds and the people to life, but for now, it's like the letter said.

[doasisay]

Everyone...

My brother is gone. [ ohmygosh he looks completely heartbroken ]

[alephbet]

I'm sorry.

[There's really nothing to be done about it now, but he hates to hear of mourning.]

[doasisay]

What am I supposed to do now? I was spared...just to be locked away in a tower?

[alephbet]

You could work with us to try to fix things.

[doasisay]

Fix things? Like what? [ pfft he won't be much help. it'll hit him soon that he's alone when he goes through his trunk... ]

[alephbet]

Like our captivity here, and the worlds.

[doasisay]

How are you all even going to accomplish that? [ he pauses, looking at the other ] You're a human, correct? I don't think that there's much we could do about bringing something back that's...been destroyed.

The captivity thing... That might be a possibility. Who is in charge here?

[oathshackledbird]

Is your brother's name Rolo by any chance?

[Diarmuid is passing through the dorms when he hears the man's desperate questions. While the description is vague, since Rolo is actually on Diarmuid's mind--he's been thinking more and more about how he can safely get Rolo to talk to him about what happened between he and Suzaku during Ruana's monster game--he matches the description to him right away.

Of course, as far as Diarmuid knows only one person would call Rolo brother...Lelouch, and Diarmuid isn't so sure how he feels about that considering what Suzaku has told him about Lelouch's powers and history with Rolo. However, this man seems so worried that Diarmuid can't help but say something. After all, this place brings people from so many different worlds. It is entirely possible that if this is Lelouch, it is a version who hasn't done any of the things Diarmuid has been told about.]

[doasisay]

How--How do you know that? [ he doesn't even care and doesn't wait for the other to answer. if he knows his name then he must be here! he moves closer towards the other, his eyes wide ] Is he okay? Where is he?

[oathshackledbird]

First, please take a moment to pull yourself together.

[Diarmuid makes a calming gesture with his hand.]

You are very newly arrived, aren't you? My name is Diarmuid Ua Duibhne. If Rolo is your brother, that would make you Lelouch, correct? I know these things because I have met Rolo a few times. We know each other through Suzaku. There are versions of both of them here.

[doasisay]

[ he takes a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment ] I apologize, the last time I had seen Rolo, we had been split up. I wasn't sure if he was okay or not, especially with all of this talk that everything of my world was gone. I'm really glad to know that he's okay.

Yes, I am Lelouch. That name seems familiar... I believe that I went to school with Suzaku. Is he here and doing well? And what do you mean "versions"?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid closes his eyes for a moment as well. He hates explaining this part to people because there really is no easy way to say that their loved ones are dead along with their world. Yes, they are working on fixing that, but...]

It sounds like you have read the letters you were given, correct? As much as I hate to say it, what they say is true. Your world is dead along with everyone on it besides you. The Rolo and the Suzaku who are here are not the ones you know. Instead, they are from worlds likely much like yours but somehow slightly different.

Don't let this cause you to give up hope. Even now we work to fix our worlds and rescue our loved ones. We have been told there is a way and we won't stop until we find it.

[Or until time runs out, but he's not going to dump that bit of information on Lelouch just yet.]

[historyrabbit]

[Lavi pauses at the foot of the stairs near Lelouch and looks at him, he has got to stop running in to new people. He's in no place to explain things himself.

Still...

He can't stop himself from helping people when he does know a bit.]

Looking for someone?

Okay let's do this

[swordofzero]

"Lelouch?" Suzaku stopped dead in his tracks, staring at Lelouch. So he was back... Or this was another version of Lelouch, another soul of his that they had managed to pull in here. Suzaku started walking again, towards him needing to get to him before anyone else did.

Because Lelouch had never taken captivity well, and now they knew so much more... Suzaku did not want to see Lelouch's anger when he learned about glamour. However Lelouch didn't seem angry he looked... panicked...

Suzaku reached his side.

Lol hay bb

[doasisay]

Lelouch looked over at the other, his expression still a little panicked though now he was looking a little relieved too.

"You're here too? It's good to see another person that I know but I'm not sure if I should be glad that you ended up here too."

[doasisay]

You all have such determination...

So they're different? ...Even so, just knowing that my brother is somehow okay makes me feel better. It doesn't matter if he's different. [ of course it did. look at that worried face. just how different was he? ]

[doasisay]

Yes, I'm looking for my brother. I can't seem to get anyone to stop for a moment to answer me. [ his attention was all on Lavi now. hopefully he knew some answers ]

[tempus_scorpius]

[Rolo is on his way to the bathrooms to clean up after a bit of monster killing which has left him splattered with blood when he spots a very familiar silhouette. But it can't be...]

... nii...

[He runs over to him.]

Nii-san!!

[doasisay]

[ kablink. looks like Rolo fell in some koolaid. that's totally not blood. it can't be 8| ROLO IS A GOOD BOY--

he stares for a moment before he smiles gently at the other, coming closer to him as he moves his arms around his "brother" ] Rolo! You're okay. I...I thought you were gone and I thought you didn't make it after I came here.

[ he pulls away to look at him ] Are you hurt or anything? Oh, I have your locket that you dropped. [ and now he's patting himself and then frowns because wtf where's that locket?? ]

[swordofzero]

"I am." Said stiffly, he had no idea when this Lelouch was from, if he was even from a similar version of his world, or one very different like Euphemia had been.

"I have been here more than two years now." And indeed he looked older.
