[hoasen]

Characters: Vietnam hoasen + You!
Setting: Dormitory Floor 1; Floors 1 (cafeteria), 3 & 19 (both libraries), 14 (media room); a Terminal
Format: Any!
Summary: Guess who just arrived? Yes, this one just did. She's exploring the floors as she goes. (Wow this is a lot of prompts)
Warnings: Nothing so far.

A: Dorm Floor 1; 1-13 and surrounding
[There's a chance that whatever message she was left with had been crumbled, re-flattened, and crumbled again. She would've then pawed at her neck in confusion, only to no avail.

A rescue? Surely not.

If there were any other in the dorm, she would try to get their attention. Similarly, if she walks out of the room, she would begin to search for someone nearby to ask more questions. All will start with:]

Excuse me, can I ask you something?

B: Floor 1
[It sure did take a long time, but Vietnam has tried to go to the first floor in order to see what it was like. But it doesn't seem to have a door at all, rather, it was just a cafeteria. She looks around nonetheless, to see what's on the menu.

Clearly this apparent apocalypse needed better food.]

C: Floors 3 or 19
[On Floor 3, after discovering that it is a library, she now tries to look up books, is there anything that documented the end of the world? However all she finds are books that hold nothing about the state of the world, or anything about here. Just a whole bunch of life style books.

Floor 19 would have her in much more distress as it is even harder to look through. This only occurs much later after she has traversed a few more floors, though, and after messing round with the next two floors (Prompt D & E).

Seeing any sign of life (basically, you), she would first falter, hiding herself just by the shelves, before seeing if it is safe to approach the other.]

D: Floor 14
[Now having reached this floor with a whole bunch of media, she messes around with it to see if she could find anything, news? Something?

However, after turning something off and moving onto the next, she would always have a feeling that something switched on again and is watching her. But only to turn around and see it switched off again.

That and she doesn't want to interrupt your viewing, if you are. She will patiently wait for you to be available.]

E: a Terminal
[On Floor 3, she would've discovered this, and would try to go in. There are many things which startle her; the posts, the clock counting down. What is going on?

She will go through this more thoroughly, however things aren't still making sense, but it is for sure that there are others here with her and they are suffering. She would put up something of her own too, but first, reading and watching.]

Number E

[idkworldruler]

[It was his original plan to visit a terminal away from others to watch, learn, read and write information down in his notebook. Considering that he no longer has a room to himself, and thus no real form of privacy like he used to, he decided to strike out. Look for something to do and a place where he can silently observe others without any worry for being noticed.

The problem? The terminal he had been wanting to use is now taken. Sad day.

But also curious. He has never actually seen what the others look at or do on the terminals, as strange as that may sound. he usually only keeps to himself, never bothering to observe someone using the device. The young man decided to make a quick attempt to look over her shoulder to see what she was doing. Rude? Yes, but he doesn't really care. Maybe it would force her to go away?]

[hoasen]

[So here she is, browsing through previous information, looking at how people reacted, when she noticed that this young man just looked over her shoulder.

...?

Her eyes darted in confusion for a minute, did he see something which caught his eye?

She turns around to acknowledge his presence.] Hello? Is there something you would like to see?

[idkworldruler]

I would like to see quite a few things. [Simple answer for what he deemed to be a simple question. Though he was sated as to what she was looking at. Old posts mind with new, perhaps she was also looking for information like him?

He hasn't seen her around though, and seeing as she was looking through some of the older files on the terminal, he can deduce that she was most likely new.] What, nobody gave you a big, warm welcome yet?

1-13

[culbutiri]

So now the fourth bed was full as well, it had been a long time since Nesir had been in a full room. She thought she had preferred it on her own, even just with Jade... perhaps now. Jade had been annoying most of the time.

Her part of the room does not look inviting, there are a lot of daggers, and other weapons she has looted from monsters. On her bedside table there is a jar with two human hearts in.

Nesir herself is still in bed and turns to blink at the new person. "What do you be wanting?"

[hoasen]

Fortunately, this newcomer here seemed to be unfazed by the eccentricities of this side of the room. It does however, bring a lot of questions, such as if this girl had been here a while, since it certainly didn't look new. Did they all not arrive at the same time, for example.

The hearts did look disturbing, though. Still, she steeled herself to continue.

"I would like to know exactly what happened. Ah, I mean, what is going on, other than what has been written to me."

[culbutiri]

"You do be being in a tower." Nesir's tone was bored, like she had done this far too many times. "The worlds did be ending, everyone you do be knowing do be being dead."

She sat up, pushing hair from her face, "But do no be worrying too much, if we do no be finding a way out in about three months all the power will be going and we will be being dead too."

Floor 3

[sageprincess]

[And her hiding will catch the attention of a blonde woman with a regal bearing and long, pointed ears. Gradually, she's coming out of the mindset that people might fear her for what she did, so when she quietly peeks around the corner Vietnam hides behind, it's with more concern than apology.]

Are you all right, miss?

[hoasen]

[Good heavens! She was staring at those pointed ears for a while as well, how unusual! This does bring her guard up more, but with how the young woman held herself; gracefully and politely, and she was showing concern.

Surely she is one of those in the same boat that Vietnam is in?

Vietnam nods before she straightens up and walks out from her hiding spot.]

As alright as one who had just arrived can be, thank you. I deeply apologise if that caused any misunderstanding.

[sageprincess]

Oh.

[And with that single word, understanding clicks into place. There has been so few new arrivals recently, she had forgotten to be on the look out for them at the beginning of the month.

Concern turns to sympathy, and she makes sure to give the other woman ample space as she comes out of hiding.]

Not at all. It is understandable to be somewhat nervous in such a position.

[It's been ages since she felt that particular kind of fear, but she can understand it all the same. She bows her head slightly in greeting; better to make her feel as secure as possible before things really start going to hell.]

I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule. Is there anything I can do to assist you?

C: Floor 19

[keepscalm]

[England still works in the library, despite everything. He spends hours upon hours re-shelving the books and fiddling with the feng shui of the desks and chairs. But at least it helps takes his mind off of things -- people -- and besides, he'd be punished if he didn't show up, anyway.

As he slides a few books back into their proper places, the movement catches his eye, but he doesn't look quickly enough to see who it is before they disappear behind the bookcase.

England's eyebrows draw down into a mild furrow. Someone with a shy streak? Or perhaps just a paranoid one. He wouldn't begrudge them that in this place. Tentatively, he calls out to them:] ...do you require assistance?

[hoasen]

[Somehow hiding here was a lot easier than before, but she could probably chalk it up to gradually getting used to the environment, and so she had started hiding when she heard books shifting.

But that voice...that was a familiar voice. Cautiously she looks out, just barely so that she could see him. And swallows when she recognises him. He's...he's alright?]

England, is it really you? [Vietnam finally walks out from her hiding space, hands held and clenched together.]

[keepscalm]

[He's just as surprised to see her as she is to see him. But then, it's not like he's seen a lot of Vietnams come and go, here. He was fairly sure the only interactions he'd ever have with her again would be his visits to put lotus flowers on her grave.

England gives her a searching look, like he's not entirely certain that what he's seeing is real. Part of him, for Vietnam's sake, hopes it isn't.] Vietnam?

E

[chainsawn]

[ There's actually a girl standing behind Vietnam. However, Urotsuki is being so quiet and standing completely still behind the woman as she's using the terminal that it's probably hard to notice her easily, if at all. In fact, it's like she hardly even seems to blink or anything as she's standing there and waiting - one might almost mistake her for some kind of ghost if she wasn't fully solid. ]

[hoasen]

[You know who is going to have a heart attack. Yes this one here, only not quite, it was more of surprise. It occurred right about when Vietnam turned to flex her neck, only to notice someone behind her.

She really tried her best to not look completely shocked or jump in the girl's face though, just in case.

But she's not moving.]

...Hello?

[chainsawn]

[ Hey, Urotsuki is so used to getting the shocked reaction that she doesn't even notice it anymore by now.. so even if Vietnam would have reacted that way, it all would have been the same to her. Instead she's just still calmly staring. ]

Hi. I wanted to use that, so I'm waiting. [ Yeah. Because standing there and staring? Totally normal. ]

Floor 19

[wrigurun]

[Wriggle had noticed Vietnam earlier, but hadn't payed her much attention. Instead she had been more focused on collecting books indiscriminately, not even bothering to flick through them. Having accumulated a fair few, the pile was balanced precariously in her arms as she hovered up to one of the higher shelves to reach for a particularly large tome.

She didn't quite have the strength though and the pile toppled over with a large crash]

Sorry! Sorry!

[hoasen]

[Whoa, that noise! Vietnam rushed over immediately to try to help Wriggle.]

Goodness, are you alright? [She's trying to check on her while pick up the books at the same time.] Did they fall on you?

floor 1

[colonial]

[America spends some time watching Vietnam before he approaches--he's wary, but he can't quite ignore the familiar someone-like-him feeling in the back of his head, especially when she seems like she's new.

So, a little shyly, he pads over to her.]

You only have to eat the oatmeal the first time and then you can have the other stuff. There's chicken shaped like animals for dinner!

[This is a good thing to him, anyway.]

[hoasen]

[She was looking around, a little bit lost again, but probably overwhelmed by the idea of these meals. So unappetising!

Until she saw the little one approached her. Well, she has heard of America's situation from England, but the problem was, she has never seen him like this before. So it hasn't connected to her yet, aside from the fact his features look so familiar. Especially that lick of hair.

She kneels down to be level with him, giving him her most gentlest expression.]

The oatmeal first? Is that a rule? But oh, chicken shaped like animals sound fascinating.

Floor 1

[silencetoreason]

[There are drones milling about in the kitchen area, cleaning and rearranging things silently. France stands out among them in his embroidered blue-and-yellow cloak, but, uncharacteristically, his face is just as blank as theirs are. He doesn't even look up at first when he sees someone approach the menu, just greets them listlessly.]

Bonjour. The food will be ready in--

[He finally gets a good look at her, and when he does, he stops short. He stands there with a mixing bowl clutched in his arms, though he seems like he might drop it with how surprised he is.]

...Vietnam?

[hoasen]

[She didn't even notice him at first, perhaps the way he was held himself was a little different that she wouldn't have went straight up to him and called out his name.

So all she did was kept looking at the menu until he greeted her, and eyes widened in shock. She had heard from England that France was here, and she thought she would be prepared for it, but nothing really prepares you for this when you thought someone was dead, no?

Vietnam was caught between relief, worry, and denying it all at once.]

France. Yes, it is me, I only just arrived. How are you?

media room

[bydefacto]

[Sealand is playing one of the many video games available when he notices Vietnam exploring the room.

It's funny. He recognises her vaguely, but not from the tower. From home...? He puts down his controller.]

It's okay. They do that sometimes. [Sealand has by now gotten very used to the things around the media room that turn on and off of their own free will. This room has practically become his new home, the amount of time he spends in it.]

[hoasen]

I see, why do they do...that...

[She squints her eyes for a moment, both caught from wanting to apologise for interrupting him, and the other recognising him some how.

...Wait a minute...]

Sealand?

Dorm Floor 1

[justabignobody]

[Well, Riku is nearby enough to be 'bothered', walking up and down the hallway as he memorizes some new room numbers after the recent dorm shuffle - he likes to know where his friends are after all.]

...Sure. What is it?

[hoasen]

[Oh, thank goodness, someone around! She bows her head gratefully.]

Thank you. Ah, would it be alright for you to tell me anything about this place?
