Alright my lovelies~ Welcome to my new Senji story! *woohoo fanfare* Yes, I know, such a glorious thing. I am new to Deadman Wonderland, but Senji is one of those people I couldn't resist, so here we are! Peacock! Read, review, enjoy!
Disclaimer- I don't own Senji or any character in Deadman Wonderland or Deadman Wonderland, I own the OC, that's all.
Now normally I don't do this but I couldn't for the life of me figure out a way to incorporate the looks of the OC into the actual story so here we are with her pretty little profile.
Name- Mai (You will learn her last name later)
Age- 21
Hair- Dark brown, goes down a little past her shoulders, very straight with no waves at all, she does have bangs that swoop to the side
Eyes- Grayish Blue
Menacing heels clicked down the hallway before the creaking of a door was opening. Such a strange room this was, filled to the brim with toys that a man his age shouldn't be playing with. Actually, a man his age shouldn't be caught dead with any of them around.
"Tamaki, we have a new prisoner coming in." Makina, she was the chief warden of this place, and whether you are a child or about to rot from old age, she would not hesitate to put you in your place if she deemed it necessary. She put down a brown folder that held the contents of the new prisoner onto his desk, and waited for his response.
"We get new prisoners everyday, this doesn't interest me." Pushing the folder away he spun in his chair to stare at the assortment of toys he had scattered about his 'office', his eyes already filling with a cheerfulness that he and only he could demonstrate. Makina though wasn't swayed by his passive personality and instead was insulted, her own eyes squinting in aggravation. It wasn't everyday she waltzed into his office to say that there was a new prisoner, this one was special and deserved his attention.
"Well then...get interested and read it while I go brief the newbie's. And send Rei to escort her once I'm finished." She left his office with a curt slam of the door while Tamaki let out a sigh. Opening up the folder, his brows curves with interest as he read over the file.
"Well, aren't you special, Miss Mai? I'm sure that you will be a wonderful plaything for me." He let out a rather demented chuckle while picking up the phone, calling the sadistic doctor to be there once the new one was briefed.
I listen closely as the heels of the warden click in front of us, the scared whispers of the people next to me, and the thumping of my own erratic heartbeat. Never had I thought I would end up here, in Deadman Wonderland, but there's a reason that I'm here. And that one reason will drive me until I either die, or I set him free.
"Alright you newbie's, listen up. Welcome to Deadman Wonderland, your new home for the rest of you pathetic lives, considering your death row inmates. That is unless you somehow manage to earn enough cast point to pay off your sentence. You were each given a survival bag and if you're good, it'll last you three days, if not, you better earn yourself some cast points fast. And before you depart to your cell a quick word about your collars. Not only are they Deadman Wonderlands way of tagging and tracking inmates, they are also your personal death. If you fail to eat your candy every three days, the poison that is constantly being pumped through your system will kill you. Any questions?" She placed her hands on her hips and eyed us all seriously, waiting to see who was brave enough to even speak out. It was almost like a challenge was being issued.
"Good, follow the guard and he'll show you your cell." She told us, placing her hands on her curvy hips.
We all began to do as we were told but a long silver sword was cast out in front of me, stopping me dead on my feet from sheer shock. I was lucky that I didn't completely topple over. My grayish blue eyes widened and followed from the tip of the sword all the way to the owner.
"Have I done something already?" I asked, staring her down as she was me. I already didn't like her and it was obvious that she didn't like me. Though my heart was still beating like a drum, she was no doubt someone I surely didn't want to tussle with.
"No, you're not going with them. You a bit more...special." Wow, seemed like it pained her to say that. But what was she talking about? There was nothing special about me? I'm a horrible singer, an awful dancer, and you really didn't want to try my cooking.
All the other prisoners looked at me like I was some kind of freak, heh, if they only knew the truth. I suppose they were already accusing me of getting a five star treatment or something. From the side I saw a woman dressed like a doctor walking down the hallway in a sultry pace. She walked over to us and stopped in front of me, giving me a small smile of kindness while cocking her head to the side a bit.
"Hello Mai, my name is Rei. I'm here to escort you to your cell and give you the possible rundown in case you aren't aware of everything." This was a strange woman; she seemed too nice to be working in a place like Deadman Wonderland. Her short brown bob and almost perfectly placed mole gave her the picture of beauty. But I could see past all of that, he eyes held a secret longing for watching others in pain, you'd have to be blind to not see that.
"Nice to meet you." Yes I was a little skeptical about this whole thing but who was I to complain. I was a prisoner for goodness sakes! She began to walk away, turning her head slightly and beckoning me to follow like the sad little puppy I truly was.
"Oh, right." I followed after her and we weaved through hallways after hallways until the area began to look a little more...degraded? Would that be the appropriate word to use for the declining beauty of this place?
"Before we get you to your cell I must warn you. You're the first new Deadman we've had in awhile that's a woman. So for the time being you'll be staying with a roommate while a room is being prepared, hope you don't mind."
Deadman? What the heck was that? "What do you mean by Deadman?" She stopped in the middle of the hall and turned around to face me, giving out a sigh before another smile was upon her round face. She put her hand on her hips and gave me the world famous, really look.
"Mai, you didn't really think that we didn't know. The way you killed that rapist, it was too obvious to ignore. Besides, the scarring on the tips of you fingers are proof enough." My eyes widened in shock from what she was telling me. Does that mean she knows what I can do? She knows about my blood?
"What, did you really think that you were the only one of your kind? Please, you're mistaken. Now come on, you have to meet Senji." She continued walking but I was still flat footed in my own spot. Senji? That sounds like the name of a...of a...boy. Oh lord.
"Hmm, what's wrong Mai? You're frozen in place." She pointed out, coming back over to me and then giving me a slight tug on my arm. She even let a small giggle escape. "Don't tell me you're shy, well if that's the case then you two should get along perfectly." She pushed me along until we stopped in front of a door. You know, just an ordinary door, nothing special about it.
She knocked a few times before the door swung open, revealing the most...athletic...man I had ever seen. He was tan with dark hair that spiked backwards in odd strands. He wore a patch over his right eye, and had a tattoo of the letters DSMK above his right eyebrow, and for his clothing he had a pair of pants and a coat-shirt-thing that left the imagination to run wild for he didn't wear a shirt underneath.
"Hello Senji, I just thought you would like to know that you have a new roommate until another cell is available. Enjoy." Before I could even make a proper introduction, she pushed me on my back hard and I went reeling into the room...and right into my new roomie. Talk about your great first impressions.
"W-What! Hey you better-" Before he could finish, Rei promptly slammed the door in his face while I scurried away and turned my back to him, my face as red as a tomato. He let out a sigh and a thick silence hung in the room for a few moments before he spoke up.
"So you're a Deadman...and my roommate. Do I get a name or are you going to stand there with your back turned toward me." His voice was deep and I could tell that he wasn't one to play around very much. At least that was my thoughts; I don't even know this guy.
Well isn't he the rude one? I let out a sigh of my own, all embarrassment flying out the window when I discovered his personality. Truly unattractive in my opinion, but I'll just have to learn to deal with it.
"My name is Mai, and yea, I suppose I am. I take it you are as well?" It was then that I looked around his...our...room. And honestly the place could use a little touching up. There was a bed, a couch, and a tv, that's it. No paintings, no tables, and absolutely nothing of color.
"Do I get a last name?"
He stared straight at me and I shot him a smirk. "When and if I find my little brother, then you'll know my last name. What about you? Do I get a last name?" He plopped down on his bed and folded his arms behind his head, closing his eye. "You'll find it out when I find yours out. It's only fair, don't you think?"
Oh I could already tell this was going to be a long stay here in this cell. But I do admit, it's nicer than the regular ones in the other blocks. I mean this one actually looked like a room with four walls rather than a regular cell with bars. At least I could have some privacy in here. It was then I noticed a door at the back of the room, but I dared not go near it until I knew what it was.
"Hey Senji. What's that door in the back?"
He craned an eye opened and glanced at the back wall. "That's the bathroom." Wow, I can tell that he's a regular bowl of sunshine. "Hey, you never told me your stage name." He sat up on the bed and since there was some room, I went over and plopped down beside him, I do admit though it was a little hot in this room. I did have a tank top on under my prisoner outfit so there's not harm in taking off a layer or two, right?
"Stage name? What do you mean?" I began undoing the buttons and Senji was off in daydream land, not even looking at me, but more or less looking up to the ceiling as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. I managed to get the last button undone and slid off the hot long sleeves, feeling much better in my breezy tank top.
"Are you serious? They didn't tell you any-hey what the heck women!" Senji looked over to me while he was talking but stopped mid sentence the moment he did. I couldn't understand why though. I looked at him with a strange look and followed him as his eyes scanned from my face, to my neck, and finally settling on my chest, which I might add was covered. Well, I guess you could say that a small amount of cleavage was showing but who cares! It was stifling in that room!
"What's wrong?"
His face went as red as red could be and he suddenly jerked off his jacket and shoved it in my direction, holding it on my shoulders so it would cover me up. "Y-You're indecent! Cover yourself up with that or put your uniform back on!"
He let go of the jacket and I held it in place before promptly rolling it up and throwing it in his face. "No way! It's burning up in here! I look fine! You should be grateful that you're new roommate isn't some stuck Barbie who flashes everything she has!"
I saw him narrow his eyes, though he wasn't that intimidating when his face was all red like that, and he crossed his arms. "Are you trying to tell me that you're not going to put your uniform back on?"
"I didn't say that. It's just hot right now. If I get cold I'll put it back on, but for now the top stays off and the tank top stays on." I crossed my arms over my chest, proving my point but oh no, I suppose it wasn't going to be that easy.
"Yea, that's not going to work." He got up from the bed and in one fluid motion, literally swung me over his shoulder and started heading out the door, not even bothering to put his own shirt back on! Though I must admit he had a very fit body and it wasn't half bad to look at, but that's not the point right now!
"H-Hey! What are you doing! Put me down right now!" From my limited view I saw that he was walking down the hallway, where to I have no clue though. "Where are we even going!"
He made a turn but refused to speak to me, intent on doing whatever he was doing. Maybe he was taking me to the doctor lady and demanding that I no longer be his roommate. Speaking of doctor, here she is.
"Senji? I just left you...what in the world are you doing?" He walked past her with a sharp smirk, though I couldn't see it, I could feel the smugness coming from him.
"I'm just making a few adjustments with my roomie here. Don't worry; I'll make sure she's fine when we get back." He continued walking before I caught sight of other prisoners giving me a curious look. Wow, Senji, thanks for making me look like a sack of potatoes!
"When exactly do you plan on putting me down?" He still didn't respond but instead entered a room that was filled to the brim with everything you could possibly think of. Beds, booze, games, food, everything! I felt him slide an arm under my stomach before he threw me off his shoulder and onto some couch.
"Stay there. I'll be back in a minute." Without another word he walked off to a section of the store and disappeared from my sight. "Well isn't this just grand. Here I am stranded, with no idea how to get back to the room, and my new 'friend' has skulked off somewhere. If there's a God...he really hates me right now."
I saw Senji come back and in his hands were a few items of clothing. He stood before me and threw them on my lap. "Think those will fit?"
Standing up I picked up each of the items and laid them on the couch, inwardly laughing to myself. "You know Senji, for someone who seems to be such a man; you sure are shy around the feminine body...not to mention your sense of a woman's style is revolting."
He turned his head away from me, cheeks turning already, and gave out a small cough. "Just tell me if they would fit okay?" Rolling my eyes I noticed a new person coming our way, and he looked flat out creepy. Grinning from ear to ear, glasses glinting in the light, and a piece of hair sticking straight up in the middle of his head.
"Well, well, well. The Crow buying his new friend some clothes. Who knew she could make you so soft so soon?" He said, clapping his hands together and eyeing us both strangely. "Miss Mai, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." He stuck out his hand and I hesitantly accepted. Judging from the way he was dressed, he definitely wasn't a prisoner. Maybe he was some kind of executive around here.
"Oh I can see you are just racking through your brain trying to figure me out. Allow me to introduce myself. My name Is Tamaki, I'm the chief warden here and have come to assist you for your game tonight."
I saw Senji glare over to Tamaki, but he remained silent. "Game? What do you mean by game?" I asked him. This place sure was getting stranger and stranger with every new person I meet.
"I guess you weren't informed of anything about the G block when you were brought in. I would fill you in but I have many things that are just calling my name. I'm sure Crow can inform you of everything. Oh and don't forget, you'll need to wear something besides that uniform, the audience doesn't care too much for bland clothing such as that."
He walked away from us and waved goodbye, truly creepy in my opinion. "Wow, he's a real piece of work. What did he mean by a game though?" Turning my head I saw that Senji didn't look to happy about the whole thing.
"I'll tell you when we get back to the room. The regular prisoners here don't need to know about anything that we in G-Block do. So don't mention it to anyone alright? Now tell me if those clothes will fit or not! You're killing me with your indecency woman!"
"Yea, they look like they'll fit, now come one before you have a nosebleed or something." We gathered up the clothes, such a nice guy, and went back to the room when he shoved me into the bathroom, demanding that I put something else on.
"Fine calm down! Look is this better oh shy one?" I had changed into a pair of red shorts that came to my knees and a plain black t shirt. The collar was high and hid everything to his satisfaction. "Better?"
He shot me a smile before giving me a thumbs up. "Much, now I can look at you without getting distracted." I knew he meant well, but if only he realized how much of a perv that made him sound. "Now, before the game tonight you need to-"
We were interrupted by the door sliding open, revealing a guard. "Peacock, we are here to inform you that in approximately 20 minutes, you will be fighting Woodpecker in your first Carnival Corpse. We will be back for you in ten minutes." With that being said, he shut the door and left me to ponder.
"Peacock...peacock! Really! That's my grand stage name! I glanced down at my outfit, remember that Tamaki said to snazz it up a bit, but since I am zip for cash and Senji was nice enough to buy me these, I was not about to complain.
"Woodpecker huh. He's a nice kid; I was his first Carnival Corpse opponent." He grinned with satisfaction at the mere thought of it. "He's the reason I have the patch, but I have to say the punishment game was nice to me."
"Oh yea, give me the run down of the rules real quick." I sat down on the bed beside him and watched as he put a finger to his chin thoughtfully.
"For Carnival Corpse? There really aren't any rules. The fight stops when either of the Deadmen are dead or can't move. If you lose and can't move you have to go to the punishment game. They roll out this giant slot machine filled with body parts and whatever part it lands on they remove it from you right then and there...without medication."
I felt my stomach drop when he said with no medication. I wasn't a big fan of pain. I mean, I can deal with pricking the ends of my fingers with my nails but other than that you can count me out! I have to beat this Woodpecker guy, no matter who he is.
"Don't worry, you'll do fine. Just hit him dead center!" He thumped his chest with his fist, not that it made me feel any better, but he was trying. The door swung open again and the guard came in. "It's time Peacock. Let's go."
Taking in a deep breath, I tried to calm my nerves as much as I could. Woodpecker, I will beat you no matter what. "Well, wish me luck, I guess."
He cocked a grin and gave me a thumbs up before the door shut behind me and I went on to my first Carnival Corpse.
