[ooc: Exuent Ros and Guil. Establishy, though if you'd like your character to check out those shadowy, hanging figures they see from the street, they're more than welcome to ping in and find the letter. On the other hand, those figures are really only visible from that one, specific angle. So you're more than welcome to completely miss them, as well. Stay tuned over the next week or so for the next ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) iamyourfodder character. . . .]

Gregor is still a giant beetle (possibly with an apple stuck in his back, by now), and Nny has met his maker in the form of a tentacle monster. Things have been quiet for room 8 of the Main Dorms for several weeks now, which means, of course, that it's time for a new fodder!
Meet Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. They'd love to tell you which of them is which, but, see, they haven't quite worked that out for themselves, yet. . . .
There's not much you need to know about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, really, except that for ease of typing, they'll be known as Ros and Guil after the first mention of their names in any given thread, and that the Tim Roth character is Guildenstern, and the Gary Oldman character is Rosencrantz, at least, according to the official casting. Since neither is ever actually certain of which of them is which, it really doesn't matter, but for ease of stage directions, we'll say that TR=Guil and GO=Ros, yes?
( Cut for spoilers )

( pooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllll! )
Explanations of the potential fodder (contains spoilery type information)

This was it. This was the last time. Nny sat in his desk chair, his back to his window, staring down at his lap, as the doughboys, now, somehow, imbued with the power of movement, peered at the Radio-Shak Robo-ArmTM holding the gun.
( cut for bizarreness, cursing, and dark themes )
[ooc: open to those who have a reason to be in the main dorms at 2 am, might have heard the gunshot and scream, and would come to investigate. Though, please, for the sake of all our sanity, try to be in the chat (kahlualionlives) for organization? I had people sign up, but anyone else who's interested might happen by, as well.]

Room 8, Main Dorms, 2 am
Nny gazed out the window over Milieux. He'd been tucked away in the . . . well, not safety. Familiarity of his room since he'd managed to crawl his way back from the roof the night before. Now he stared up at the no longer quite full moon, lost in thought.
( cut for thematic darkness and cursing )
Crisis averted.
[ooc: Establishy only. Text for the most part riffed straight from the comics. Wheee!]

Time for your second room 8 bit of fodder to make his merry way.
I would lovelovelove for his exit thinger to happen July 7th. It's a number thing. The thing I'm working on, well, working out is how.
( Cut for probable rambling/plot spoilery things )
Thoughts? Concerns? Volunteers? Continued suggestions for further fodder characters?

[ooc disclaimer: to avoid any potential wangst, please read the definition of dumb animal factor before proceeding under the cut.]
Nny had his window open. Someone outside was singing. A bright, cheerful song, one that Nny wouldn't normally listen to. But it seemed to swell and fill something empty within him.
He scooped Bunny up from where it was eating its first meal.
"Bunny! Do you hear that? Do you hear the music?"
Bunny twitched its nose.
"Ohhhhhhh, you're so cute, Bunny, yes, you are, I don't want you to ever grow into a big bunny and be a rabbit. I want you to stay just as you are now. . . ."
( cut for DUMB ANIMAL FACTOR. You've been warned )
And as the chorus of Nadia's song swelled, Nny prounced and danced around his room, glorying in it.
[ooc: Establishy, though people are more than welcome to comment on hearing hammering, later. I think it's safe to say that Nny's psychosis has well and truly begun. . . .]

Nny had handwavily been out to a pet store in the next town over and had brought home a curious little bunny.
The bunny was now sitting on Gregor's bed, sniffing at everything. Nny sat against the opposite bed, watching the bunny with a small smile.
He especially liked the red eyes. Made it look kind of evil.
[ooc: the door and the post are open should anyone want to happen by. Warning: do not get too emotionally attached to the cute little bunny. . . .]

[ooc: establishy. That Nny is up late is fine for broadcast, but not the scritching or the other thoughts.]

It was the sort of hour at which, even in a town populated mostly by teenagers, odds were good that everyone was asleep.
There was, however, at least one exception.
Nny lay flat on his back on the floor, his still booted feet propped on the wall under the window. The room had taken on an odd black and white quality; Gregor's abandoned spartan side containing only a simple blanket and a framed picture from an old magazine of a women wrapped in fur, Nny's side covered with posters and artwork of spiraling abysses, staring eyes, Happy Noodle Boy and Wobbly-Headed Bob, with clutter and bits of other works slowly scattering outward from his bed, creeping over into what should have been Gregor's space.
( dear diary )
*Scritch*
Only mice.
*Scritch, scritch*
[ooc: establishy only. That Nny had a late night is fine for broadcast, but not what he writes about.]

Hi! So! Poor old Gregor Samsa has fulfilled his destiny turned into a big bug and scuttled away. Which means . . . *drumrolls* . . . It's time to cycle in the next character for iamyourfodder and the creepy haunted/cursed room 8 plot.
As such, I'd like to introduce you all to Johnny C.
( details here, containing spoilers )

Gregor had woken this morning from troubling dreams. That was nothing new, in fact it happened most mornings since he'd come to Milieux.
The finding he'd transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin thing, though. That was definitely new.
Then why was he feeling some deja vu?
Residents of the Main Dorm might have heard an odd, almost understandable insectoid shrieking from room 8 as Gregor fell into a full panic and attempted to rock himself out of bed and possibly fling his now-huge and not nearly so flexible body out a window.
[ooc: absolutely open]

Gregor Samsa awoke from troubling dreams to find that he was in his own bed, whole and unharmed.
This didn't really make him feel any better, but he got up to write another letter to his family and tell them how horribly miserable he was here and thanks a lot for sending him so far away, you bastards, and how was Aunt Katka, was the gout troubling her?
But then, that's what happened pretty much every day.

Gregor dragged his feet as he made his way to room 8, his assigned room in the dormitory. He didn't want to be here. He wanted to be home with his mother and father and sister. He didn't want to have to come to school in America to learn a trade to support his family, but that was his job as the only son, and so he was here.
He sighed heavily as he unlocked the door and dragged his old, battered suitcase inside.
[ooc: open! Come meet a new student!]

Hello, you've reached Gregor Samsa. I am not here, just now, but I promise that as soon as I get this message, I will return your call.
*Beep*
I'm busy. Leave a message.
. . .
Oh yeah, this is Nny.
*Beep*
Rosencrantz! Er, that is -- Guilden -- no, no, I was sure I had it -- Well, whichever you are, come quickly, you must see this.
See what?
Well, you see this box? You would never imagine that a voice could come out of this box, just like there was a little man inside it yelling at you, now could you? But, see, I just press this button here and -- no, no, that's not it, maybe this -- no . . . . Now, see here, it definitely spoke to me before.
Oh yeah? And what did it say, then?
It said "beeeeeeep"
"Beeeeeeep?"
"Beeeeeeep."
You're an idiot.
*Beep*
