1st sunrise

Characters: A bearded Isaac and you.
Setting: The cafeteria, library, and the twelfth floor on October 11th.
Format: Action brackets please.
Summary: Isaac gets his bearings and explores the Tower.
Warnings: Nothing in particular.

Cafeteria
[The bearded (young? He looks young, but he carries himself as if he is someone with decades of experience) man doesn't seem particularly fazed when he steps into the cafeteria and makes his way to the line for food. It is only when he witnesses various residents getting some manner of orange-colored food, only to be given a bowl of oatmeal, that he so much as raises a brow before turning to the nearest person.]

What's a guy have to do to get some of the good stuff around here?

Library
[Now he is seated in a corner of the library. There are four books beside him on the floor and a fifth, this one with a green cover that looks like it's made of leather, in his hands. He looks like he has been here for some time and is very engrossed in his reading, a fond and nostalgic smile is on his face. The books look a little different from library books and in fact they were in his trunk when he woke up.

He turns a page and then looks up, seeming to sense something. Or someone.]
Ah, hello. Am I in your way?

Twelfth floor
[He is melancholy and quiet on this floor. He isn't truly on the floor itself as he is seated on one of the lower steps on the staircase, but he appears deep in thought and his eyes never leave the epicenter of the disaster depicted here.

Your world has been destroyed.

He wonders if this is what it was like when it happened, one bright flash and then it was all over, everything they had ever fought for wiped out in a single instant. He hopes not. He likes to think that the people of Weyard would have gone out fighting.]

Library!

Not at all.

[Mia smiles. She'd had to study the person closely to be sure, but there was no doubt this person was Isaac. He looked a little...different...from when she'd last seen him, but given everything else in the tower, this was the least surprising thing she'd seen. She needed to have a stern talk with whoever thought that beard was a good idea, though.]

I'm happy to see you, Isaac.

I'm glad to see you safe as well, Isaac.

[No, really. With their world destroyed and Alex being here she was extremely to see anybody she knew safe.]

You certainly look...different.

[Just because all the other kids are doing it, doesn't make it cool. :|]

Cafeteria!

[She knows how this goes. A man she doesn't recognize standing around in the cafeteria, looking slightly bewildered at the oatmeal he's been handed? That is unmistakably a new person to the Tower. Taking a moment to try and muster up a cheerful look she sets out towards him, speaking up once she gets closer.]

Excuse me, sir? Are you new here?

I'll admit you don't actually look that lost, but you're confused about the oatmeal and we get new people here every month or so. Coincidentally the last time we got new people was about a month ago, so...

[She manages a chuckle, only to frown slightly at the oatmeal. Ugh. It's not terrible as long as it's still warm but she doesn't especially envy him right now.]

You see, if you don't eat the oatmeal first? Anything else you try to eat is gonna come right back up. I kind of wish I knew why for sure, but I don't.
historyrabbit: (erk φ Give you more and more)

You have to eat the sludge first. [Lavi gives him a reassuring grin, on his own plate he has a bowl of pumpkin soup and bread, and bottle of water.]

But I wouldn't be too hasty trying to get the good stuff. The staff said nothing but pumpkin for the entire month.

Cafeteria

[Thorin notices the young man holding his bowl of oatmeal by the serving counter. A new arrival. Everyone had to endure their first bowl of oatmeal. It is best given to a horse in Thorin's eyes. He eyes the young man up, before walking to greet him.]

Good stuff? Nay, the tower does not treat us to the luxury of having edible food, lad. It forces us to eat such bile as this oatmeal.
