To get you started, here are a few optional prompts for you to use if you so wish:

1. Cafeteria

Well, top of the mornin’ to y’all in Animus! Guess what day it is? Well, it’s the first day of Jason month and you guys know what that means? The cafeteria will be full of nutrition bars today! Enjoy your absolutely tasteless meals while you can because you’ll be forced to eat these for the whole month.

2. Shadow Children (Event)

So, the elevator mysteriously exploded! Who, why and how? Well, no matter who is responsible, some creepy shadows are following you around, speaking in the voices of your loved ones from your world and blaming you for their predicament! Unless someone whom you have a strong bond with in the tower drives those shadows away, your collar will gradually go paler and you will die in a few days! What do you guys do? More info found here: http://animus-ooc.dreamwidth.org/396347.html

3. Elevator

Sheesh, it’s a rather long way from the top floor to the cafeteria, isn’t it? About an hour, actually. In the meantime, someone else might be in the elevator with you! Start up a conversation? Ignore each other? Start singing in the elevator? The choice is yours!

4. Valentine’s Chocolates! (Event)

It’s Ruana month and you have all been infected with a disease by some mysterious teddy bears! Suddenly, you receive a box of chocolates which can temporarily cure your infection but many of them have special side effects. Effects can be seen here: http://animus-ooc.dreamwidth.org/120554.html

5. Floor 29

This floor has seemed pretty peaceful so far, the maze isn't all that hard and the garden that lies beyond it is rather lovely. Still it seems best to head back now that the sun is about to set and nighttime is approaching fast. ...Is that just the leaves rustling in the wind behind you, or is it something more?

6. Floor Seventy-Nine

Fancy some deep-sea diving? Grab some scuba gear, hop off the staircase, and explore some ruins! Just be careful you don't run out of air or run into a shark (or run into a shark while you're running low on air). Of course, if you can breathe underwater or just don't need to breathe at all, then the sharks would be your only worry. Try and find some treasure!

7. Anywhere!

Whoops, you've gotten distracted, or lost, or you're still climbing up the stairs when night falls. It's time for the monsters to start prowling--and one's got its eyes (or whatever sensory organs it may have) on you! Time to fight back, or time to run?

You must be very strong. It's good to be strong, isn't it? In this world. Because it's so hard.

[His tone doesn't shift, as quiet and calm as before.]

Tell me about them. The worms.

[ he presses closer at the request, fingers tightening around johan's. ]

They-- They go everywhere. And.. they hurt. And I don't.. [ he bites his lip, his free arm curling over his abdomen. ] I must be full by now, I don't want any more.

[Johan pauses, staring for a moment. He holds Kariya's hand more firmly, though his grip isn't to the point where it could be referred to as tight. His smile remains, but his gaze goes blank.

He's full of monsters, eating him from inside.]

They're so big. They're filling you up.

Do they ever come out, Kariya?

[ tears well in his good eye, and he dashes his fist across it to smear them away. ]

Uh-huh. When Father wants them out. Or when they fight.

[It's like the story...

...his father...

Johan's thoughts feel oddly fragmented. Dimly, he notices the child crying, and he stops, sinking slowly to his knees, to wrap his arms around him, as if to comfort him.]

Kariya.

What happens, when they come out, when they fight?

[ for a second or two, kariya isn't sure what's happening-- but then he recognizes the hug for what it is. he doesn't get them often, but they're always from his brother, and they always make him feel better.

his breath hiccups, and hesitantly, his arms creep up around johan's neck, not entirely sure he's allowed. ]

They-- They eat. But I g-get better. And sometimes they come out of my mouth and I can't breathe, or-- [ he buries his face against the man's neck, whole small body shivering, fingers clenching and unclenching in his shirt. ] And then-- they h-have wings, sometimes, and-- Father k-keeps them.

[Johan holds Kariya, listening to him speak, letting Kariya hold him as he wills.]

I understand. We're alike. I have something within me, too. Someone put it inside me. But it never comes out.

Are you angry with your father? For what he's done?

[ he lifts his head again in surprise, leaning back to peer at johan. ] Really? You do too? Does it hurt?

[ at the question, he pauses, head tilting. ] Angry? [ he doesn't think he's allowed to be. his father is just doing what he has to, right? ] Father is just trying to make me stronger, I think. So-- So I can take care of our family. I'm the only one who has a lot of magic.

[He nods, moving his head to meet Kariya's gaze, his expression earnest.] Sometimes it does. But it's a secret. Can you keep a secret, Kariya?

They're magical worms. [He's getting used to the idea of magic existing, here. Another form of power. This is the first he's heard of such violent, painful magic.] You must be very strong, with so many of them.

Do you think it's good, to fill someone with the worms?
