A loss of sense, growing confusion, and a precursor to apathy.

Characters: Eiji and you!
Setting: The cafeteria in morning or the media room shortly after.
Format: Starting with action, but will match.
Summary: Eiji begins to realize that maybe this sensory loss isn't just coincidental.
Warnings: Potential body horror - partial transformation variety.

The Cafeteria
[Just another day in the tower. Another morning, another round of coffee to get everything going, and oh no, Eiji just fumbled while pouring and spilled it on his hand. He jerks his hand away out of reflex, but then stares at it when he realizes that he didn't feel any heat. He can kind of feel that there's liquid there, and he can see the red mark coming up, but... No pain. No burning feeling.]

The Media Room
[After a breakfast that was remarkably lacking in taste - even for tower food - Eiji heads for the media room. He recalled that this started when he was using the glitchy terminals - he thought the weird events were to blame for muddy visuals and muffled audio, but after this morning... Time to test things. He powers up a game, and everything seems fine for now...]

Something might be wrong with the nerves [He says the word like it's new, it is Charles taught him it, but it sounds similar to this. After all he knew the bad people could make you not feel pain even when you should

His eyes widened as the clicking started and Eiji's hand changed. Romeo moved with Eiji, staring at the arm with horror]


Is it another monster mister Eiji?

[Romeo was also staring at him in horror but then he stood up and grabbed Eiji's other hand.]

Come on sir, I know there's lots of doctors here. We can find someone to help!

[There's a pause, but Eiji yanks his hand back rather quickly afterwards.]

N-no--there's no reason for that!

[Romeo blinked, a little frightened at the sudden movement.] Sorry sir!

I didn't mean the bad doctors with the red collars, some of the people they brought here know how to help people, we could see if they can help!

[Whoa, okay, despite his arm wigging out, Eiji realizes he does need to calm down - he's scaring Romeo. He doesn't want to do that...

He takes a few breaths, and the arm shortly fades back to normal.]

I...uh. I don't know if they could do anything about it. The doctors back home couldn't tell there was anything inside me before. [Eiji forces a grin, then holds his hand up - still burned, but otherwise back to normal.] But it's gone now - nothing to worry about!

[Romeo watches as it goes back to normal and looks up with wide eyes] I guess maybe the doctors wouldn't know about it mister Eiji, are you sure it's alright, does it happen a lot?

[Romeo nods slowly Well if you don't think it's the monster coming back sir, and it doesn't hurt... maybe the bad people did it... [He frowns, angry at the bad people]

That...sounds possible. [Eiji frowns.] I don't recall being unconscious for any extended period of time, though, so I don't think I've been taken away for something to have happened...

[He shrugs] Hopefully it wasn't be bad people because they do really horrible things.

[He frowns again looking, for a moment, older than his eleven years] I don't think it was the bad people sir, I think they'd of woke you up, because I think they like it when we are really scared.

[There's a short pause, but Eiji nods with a swallow.] That...makes a disturbing amount of sense, unfortunately.

[Romeo nodded sadly] I hope it doesn't happen again mister Eiji!
