CR
America (the baby one): He was in Dax's pod. They spoke in the kitchen area, America was eating ice cream and Taiki strawberries. Taiki gave him one but couldn't have any ice cream because he is a Kirin. Later Sonata was stuck in his body.
April Sinclair: A girl Taiki met at the post-body swap party. She was nice and nervous like him.
Dave Strider (OU): They spoke during Hitori Kakurenbo while Dave was dying, they spoke over the phone and they spoke about playing better games when Dave woke up and things were back to normal. There was lots of crying on Taiki's part.
In April Dave wrote on the network to say he had been to his dead world. He told Taiki it was fake because his earth had already been destroyed by meteors. Dave asked if he still wanted to play tag, Taiki said he did very much. They agreed to find more people; Taiki asked if Gohran and Sanshi could play. Dave asked who they were, Taiki explained they were his demons. Taiki creeped Dave out a bit but Dave said anyone who weren't teddy bears could play.
He said that Lalonde would be interested in his demons, she is Dave's friend. but very elusive. He also said Taiki shouldn't worry about the fact he was supposed to be an adult. Then he got angry and scary.
Taiki sponsored him for a meal on day one, two and three in the labyrinth. Afterwards Dave asked him why, Taiki told him because he was his friend and brave and didn't deserve to die. He eventually told Dave about the nightmares but told him he didn't regret it. Taiki thought Dave was angry at him when Dave was actually angry at the administrative.
He had been experimented on during June and picked Taiki up from where he was on the floor screaming about the deaths. He tried to excourage Dave to be careful but Dave was angry and said he was going to do everything he could to ruin Jason's experiment. Then he fell over because clockwork. Once he got up Taiki begged him not to die, Dave told him not to either and Taiki told him to stay strong before hugging him and being taken back to the pods.
After the whale attack Dave came to sit under the table with Taiki; he brought him food and water. He asked if Dave needed healed and then told him he could sleep under the table. Dave offered to carry him somewhere more comfortable but Taiki said it was alright.
Dave found him when he was in Kirin beast form and didn't recognise him, he had a strange creature with him.
Dax: One of the administrators. Everyone says he is the nicest but he still hurts others, he killed Tara and Ventus in the pods.
Disciple: Psiionic's friend, Taiki sponsored her on day eight of the labyrinth for a proper meal. She was in Dax's pod.
Eikichi Mishina: He was killed in week two of the pod event, he was crushed to death by Riki.
England (male): They met in the kitchens and drank Jasmine tea. They spoke about where they were from and also tea. Sanshi was there too and Taiki promised that if they ever got back he would visit England one day to see the country.
After the experiments they saw each other again and Taiki confided in England telling him how he had allowed Gohran to kill and how he and Eridan had died, as well as worrying that he was now a murderer. England tried to tell him that killing wasn't always wrong and Taiki gave him a Kirin lecture. England wasn't offended though and tried to persuade Taiki that he was not a bad person for what he had done. Taiki confided to him his worries. They met again when monsters attacked and England helped Eridan, Sanshi and Gohran fight.
After they had recovered they had tea in the meadow. England asked after Sanshi and Gohran. During Hitori Kakurenbo he spoke to England who sounded worried.
He met him on the farm floor at the end of April. He was planting flowers so he could pot them and take them to his room. Taiki asked if he could help and then promised to look after the garden if England ever couldn't.
He sponsored England in the labyrinth for a proper meal on days one, three, four, five, six and eight. Healing on days seven and eight and water on day seven. He won but as a 'reward' the administrative did something to him. Taiki tried to help him, he seemed to have demons in him and Taiki tried to control them.
He was experimented on during June and Taiki was really sad, he didn't understand why someone would hurt England so much, hurt anyone so much. England told him not to blame himself because it wasn't his fault.
Then he was voted to die by Minato and Yu and Jason cut him open and took out all his organs. Taiki screamed and screamed and screamed.
Mister Kirkland was so kind and so nice, he deserved to be in a meadow full of flowers drinking tea. Not here, not being cut apart by this monstrous man.
When Taiki returned from his dead world in November he was attacked and afterwards met England once more.
Enoch: A man Taiki met whilst he was healing people in the cafeteria during the whale attack. He was worried about Taiki because he was feverish. Taiki explained that it was just blood sickness. He went to get Taiki some water and then Taiki healed him.
They next met during the candy collecting event, Enoch had been bitten and was hurt. Taiki healed him. He saw that Enoch had only one piece of candy and so gave him some. He told him his king was helping him and that Gyousou was a wonderful and kind king. He helped Enoch up and they finally exchanged names. Taiki made sure he was alright before Enoch sent him off to make sure he replaced his candy.
The next day Taiki came across Enoch again in the outside forest having being stung by a parasite bee. Since it was on a depowered floor Taiki didn't have any magic, and though he wanted to try and get Enoch to another floor. Enoch wouldn't though and gave Taiki the rest of his candy. Taiki was very sad and at first refused the candy, but Enoch made him take it and made him promise to live. Taiki did so and then lay next to Enoch (he was in kirin beast form) letting the purified raindrops ease his pain.
Eridan Ampora (jade blood AU): When everyone's powers were going crazy because of the collar swap Taiki met Eridan in the meadow, he thought he was his roommate at first. However Gohran attacked and killed him. Taiki was traumatised and felt very guilty. The another Eridan appeared, Gohran killed him to, and a third. Taiki didn't know what to think and was horrified he had caused so much pain.
They next saw each other at the friendship affirmation party and Taiki apologised, so did Eridan though Taiki didn't know what he was apologising for, since it had been him who had been killed. Taiki told him no one should die, Eridan said it was those in control to blame for messing with their collars and they should find out more about them. He hadn't been in the tower long and had made a few friends including Willow. He also had some friends from home here. Taiki wondered if it was maybe better they weren't.
Eridan said the tower wasn't as bad as where they had come from, which scared Taiki as he couldn't imagine anywhere worse than the tower. Then they started again and made friends.
France (Female): They met in the elevator during the Midnight Man game. She seemed nice, she was in his group, she tried to help protect him and Echidna.
Ganondorf: A man Taiki found in the music room; he wanted to know what Sanshi was and he had shadows that protected him. He said some very strange things about righteousness. Taiki pointed out that good is always good and when Ganondorf argued he told him he was a Kirin and so couldn't disagree with the gods. He explained what a kirin was. Ganondorf told him his calling was noble and to go by his own standards of good. Taiki told him he wasn't a very good kirin. He told him not to cry and to work at being stronger; physically and mentally. He also told him he had to adapt. Taiki came out of the meeting thinking lots but also very sad.
He sponsored Ganondorf for a proper meal in the labyrinth on days four and six, and healing on day six.
During the candy event Ganondorf was dressed up as Santa and Taiki was ill and spoke to him. Well Sanshi did most of the talking... which was arguing. Telling Ganandorf that Taiki was a holy creature who could not be forcibly adapted to bloodshed and violence, Ganondorf telling her she was stupid and anyone could adapt and change their nature. Ganondorf suggested locking Taiki up in one of the cells but Taiki told him that the sickness was part of who he was and not having all his kirin powers that wouldn't change.
Ganondorf had fake candies and told Taiki that if people stole no one would cry for them if they died. Taiki told him that he would. He felt awkward and Sanshi explained that Taiki would always feel compassion for others and that he was inconveniencing them. Ganondorf told her that Taiki should grow up. Sanshi told him that despite his nature Taiki was not soft yet the tower made things difficult. Ganondorf told him to adapt, which Sanshi claimed would destroy him. She eventually left the table, carrying Taiki with her.
Haldir: Taiki's roommate, he didn't really talk to him much until they met in the meadow when Gyousou was there. Taiki introduced him to Sanshi and Gohran; Gyousou explained in more detail. Taiki asked if he came from the same woods as Legolas and Haldir told him no, a different woods and that Legolas was a prince.
When Gyousou disappeared Haldir tried to cheer Taiki up. He promised to always look after Taiki and promised him that Gyousou would return and so he should not be sad. Taiki explained how Kirin were always sad when separated from their masters. Haldir told him he should not lose hope then told him to dry his tears and that they were going on a picnic. Then Legolas appeared and they invited him too.
At the Christmas party Hadir learned that Gyousou had gone again.
Idrial: An elf lady who sings beautiful songs.
Jason: The cruelest administrator, he likes experimenting on people and always hurts them. Taiki spoke to him on the network once. He told Taiki that his curiosities could only be satisfied by hurting others.
Jin Shirato (AU): Taiki spoke to him on the network but Jin was anonymous so he didn't know it was him. Taiki answered a questionaire and then explained about Kirin and also the questionnaire he had answered before the October experiments.
Jun Kurosu: He was killed at the end of week two in the pod event, he was crushed to death by Riki.
Karkat Vantas (AU): Taiki hasn't actually met him but he has met spidermom and Karkat was hiding :S. He was killed at the end of week two of the pod event, he was crushed to death by Riki.
Karkat Vantas (OU): He was in Dax's pod.
Kidou Yuuto: He was in Dax's pod. They spoke in the last week. Kidou said that even though he didn't like the tower he wouldn't chose to go home because then he would have to leave his friends here behind. Taiki told him that even though he had friends his king wasn't here. He explained he was a kirin and Kidou asked him if he meant a giraffe or mythical creature. Taiki told him the mythical creature and then showed him before curling up and letting him pet his mane. He explained Kirin names and shitsedou.
At the wrap party Kidou and Taiki talked again and Taiki was glad Kidou would see his friends again soon and said he was sure they had been brave and strong.
They next saw each other in December, Kidou had a penguin that he had found in the aquarium and was with it in the snow. Taiki petted the penguin and they discussed ways to keep the penguins safe from the more vicious fish of the aquarium.
Legolas Greenleaf: An elf Taiki met in the meadow, he is very kind. Taiki told him that he had only heard of elves in childrens stories. Legolas said he came from the Woodland realm. He was just new and Taiki explained about his world and about kings and kirin. Legolas asked some questions and Taiki explained shitsedoh. Legolas thought it sounded cruel.
Taiki told him he was a kirin and that he looked different to most kirin. Legolas said he looked different to most elves of his kind. He told Taiki about his world and Taiki thought it sounded beautiful. He told Legolas that he didn't think the worlds could have gone since Keiki had told him he didn't think kirin could exist if their country was completely destroyed. They spoke about the administrators and wondered if they would ever get to meet them. Taiki told him about Ruana being on the network. They thought they should try and contact them to see if they answered. He was in Dax's pod.
Taiki spoke to him when they arrived and Legolas checked that he wasn't injured. He told Taiki he was going to help everyone be calm and Taiki agreed no one should panic. He promised to help Legolas. Legolas sang while the pod danced. At the end of the event they spoke about how awful Ruana was and how powerless they had been made. Neither could understand cruelty.
Taiki learned from Haldir that Legolas was a prince. Taiki met Legolas in the whale attack and he carried him down the stairs to a floor where Taiki could use his powers to switch forms. He told Taiki he could help carry people down from there as long as he was careful. Taiki told him to stay safe and be careful.
He burst into their room to ask Haldir on a hunt, Haldir asked him if he wanted to come on a picnic with Taiki and him instead.
Legolas came and found him before the post body swap party, he told Taiki he didn't have to call him Lord and that he didn't believe the worlds were gone and they should never lose hope. Taiki was worried because he thought the gods would have punished them by now if they were still alive, Legolas thought it was because they hadn't meant to leave Tai. He took Taiki to the party.
He next saw him in the candy collecting event, Legolas was dressed as a king. Taiki told him about Giraffe's and how it was the same word as Kirin in his earth language. Then they collected candy together by looking to see if any animals had taken it away to bury. Legolas told Taiki that Haldir was fond of him and Taiki was surprised. Taiki told him he thought Haldir thought Legolas kind even though he wouldn't admit it. Legolas made Taiki make a decision on what floor to look at next which Taiki found awkward, and they went to the forest. He turned up in the library when Taiki was meeting the other him.
Legolas (AU): Another Legolas who Taiki got muddled up and thought was the Legolas he knew. Other Legolas arrived as well, this Legolas is kind and friendly.
Link (AU): Link healed Eridan after Eridan had been tortured, Taiki was in the infirmary watching over Eridan. He likes Link because of this. They later spoke on the phone during Hitori Kakurenbo, Link told Taiki abot his world, about faries and goddesses and people living together in harmony. She told Taiki that as long as they had hope they would go home, and if the worlds were gone they could be restored. A couple of hours later Taiki saw her die over the phone, beaten with his crystallized princess. She was in Dax's pod and asked Taiki if he had seen Dax.
Majora: A strange lady who was dancing in the aquarium. She was in Dax's pod. She began to dance and Sanshi made Taiki join in.
Minato Arisato (AU): Was in the team who went with Signless to explore the lower floors of the tower. Voted for England to die during June.
Reno (OU): A window cleaner who works with Taiki, during the beginning of May he fell asleep and fell to his death, Taiki took pancakes to his room that he had ordered from the restaurant. Reno said they should go fix the harasses so no one else would get hurt and Taiki was glad to help.
Riki: One of the administrators, therefore very cruel and wrong.
Riku (OU): Taiki met him beyond the grass maze when he crashed there. Riku was practicing magic. He wore a blindfold like Ventus. Riku didn't know much about magic and Taiki told him he didn't know much despite the fact he was a kirin and should. He asked if Riku wanted a teacher; because Aqua had been teaching Taiki and he was sure she would teach Riku too.
Riku said it would make things easier but it wasn't just about what he wanted and getting lessons would be selfish when Aqua could be teaching his friends how to keep safe. Taiki felt bad about the fact he was having lessons, since he couldn't defend himself either way. He told Riku about learning to heal and how he wanted to help as many people as possible. Riku told him to keep that reason in his mind always.
They met again in the meadow some time later, they spoke about the growing tower and how it might differ depending on who is in charge. They met at the Christmas party and Riku had a bat.
Ruana: A very cruel administrator, she was the one who made everyone die in the pod event, she enjoys cruelty and turned Sayaka inside out.
Saku Gyousou: It's Gyousou. Taiki saw him in his nightmare world dead, he had nightmares in May of him dead and dying, he saw him dead in his dead world and yet Gyousou came to the tower. Taiki spent the next few weeks permamently attached to his shoulder. He filled Gyousou in about the tower, dead Tai and the fact he thought the gods were dead. Gyousou told him that as long as they were alive Tai till existed.
They met Fado and Vivi on their travels, Taiki told Gyousou how Fado played music for the gods. They met Haldir in the meadow and Gyousou was interested in his world and how it worked.
During the whale attack Gyousou went off to fight; Taiki lent him Gohran. Afterwards he took Taiki from under the table and gave him fruit. He thanked him for the loan of Gohran and praised him for his healing. He told him not to feel bad that people had still been hurt because he wasn't a god. Taiki eventually fell asleep in his arms, then spoke to Zelda. He made Taiki stay in bed until he felt better.
Then he disappeared and Taiki was heartbroken.
He came back though and there was much hugging. Gyousou told him he was strong to have carried on after seeing the destruction in Tai. Taiki filled him in about the body swapping (and the picnic!). Gyousou helped him collect candy all through October. However soon it became too much, Taiki was very ill from bloodsickness and they couldn't meet the criteria. Gyousou came to Taiki's side to try and help him as he died, Haldir was there and gave him elven tonic, Taiki was sad that Gyousou was angry and upset. Taiki died in his arms.
In December he disappeared again.
Sayaka Miki: She was in the media room listening to violin music. Taiki joined her and they listened together. During Hitori Kakurenbo she saw Taiki's video as his cupboard began to fill with blood. She told him to stay awake and he tried, but after learning she was safe and not involved in hide and seek the blood sickness took him and he fell unconscious. She spoke on the network when her powers were going out of control and Taiki wondered if it was another attempt to control them. She said she would smash her soul gem before she let them control her. Taiki begged her not to smash it and promised that it would be over soon. He saw her smash the soul gem of another girl during the pod event, then she got turned inside out by Ruana.
He spoke to her on the network but she was anonymous, he answered her questionnaire. He told her about the puzzle event.
Shion: Ventus killed him in the labyrinth.
Suzaku Kururugi: He was in Signless' group of people who explored the lower floors of the tower. In June he was exploded by Riki and died.
Tavros Nitram: He was in Dax's pod. He also was in Taiki's group for the puzzle event, he told Taiki not to cry, he had powers to control the bullfairies and did so to help them get through a maze, then they had to solve a puzzle clock which fell on them.
Terra (OU): He saw him whilst collected candy in the meadow.
Tohru Adachi: Taiki's roommate.
Urotsuki: She was in Dax's pod. She hadn't been in the tower long and was confused. She said maybe they should be thankful for the saving, Taiki told her the games often ended in people dying and explained that you came back from death. He promised that they would work together and help each other.
At the end of week two she came to comfort Taiki when he was crying she told him they couldn't help and powers didn't work and it hurt so much.
Vanellope von Schweetz: A girl who found Taiki cuddling with Sanshi and Gohran. She was cold, Taiki told her she could come and sit with them, she asked how he changed forms and he explained he was a kirin.
Veigar: Meteor summoning mage who was angry at the tower for making him ill. Sanshi told him to calm down and Taiki explained (hesitantly) that he wouldn't be able to stop them if he was angry and that there was a difference between being calm and being a coward. Veigar asked what he had done to change things. Gohran told him that his violence had changed nothing either. Veigar said that he was a member of a group to change things and Taiki assumed he meant the fellowship. Veigar got annoyed at his apologising and then walked away.
Wriggle Nightbug: A girl who is actually a firefly. She came to him when he was painting, she asked who he was painting and he explained it was his king. She asked if he liked insects, he didn't see a reason why not. She was a firefly even if she was big but slugs were really small like normal slugs. That was because she was a firefly youkai. She painted a picture of them, and made sure he was smiling in it. Then they went to the nice forest to listen to insects.
She told him his apologising was annoying and it made him feel bad. But then she made him smile again.
Yosuke Hanamura: He was in Dax's pod. It was his birthday in week three, a friend from Jason's pod had given him a present; he was eighteen. It was a figure that was part of his spirit, Taiki wondered if it was like his kirin form. Yosuke hadn't realised the kirin had been Taiki. He explained what a Kirin did; since Yosuke thought he was a kind of knight.
Yosuke asked what would happen if the king decided to kill a load of people. That made Taiki sad to think about and he said he would have to stop him or be punished by the gods. He apologised for being upset and Yosuke told him it was alright to miss people.
Yu Narukami: Voted for England to die during June.
Yukiteru Amano: New roommate, quiet and awkward. Taiki felt awkward around him and so painted quietly, Yukki asked what he was painting, which was Sanshi but didn't want to meet her. Yukki thought it was his fault the worlds had been destroyed. Taiki tried to reassure him it wasn't but wasn't able to. The conversation ended with them both curled up in balls on their beds being sad.
Zelda (sageprincess): He watched her die in Hitori Kakurenbo, she was turned into crystal and hit against Link until she shattered. During the labyrinth she asked if it were possible to enter the elevators. Taiki told her about the time he and Signless' group did and what had happened. He told her to be careful whatever she was planning. She was in Dax's pod. She played beautiful music on her harp.
She tried to get them to work out what the administrative were planning and what the challenges were in week three. Taiki was really sad but tried his best to help. He suggested playing a game in case it was to see how they coped with boredom after Zelda suggested it might be to see if they fought among themselves. Later they dancedso everyone could be free.
In week four after they failed Taiki curled up next to her because she was safe, and she petted his hair. He next saw her at the fellowship meeting. She was one of the leaders of the fellowship. She spoke to Gyousou during the aftermath of the whale attack but Taiki was unconscious then.
Zo: A boy who is one of the administrators, he seems to be a captive with power.

The next day Taiki came across Enoch again in the outside forest having being stung by a parasite bee. Since it was on a depowered floor Taiki didn't have any magic, and though he wanted to try and get Enoch to another floor. Enoch wouldn't though and gave Taiki the rest of his candy. Taiki was very sad and at first refused the candy, but Enoch made him take it and made him promise to live. Taiki did so and then lay next to Enoch (he was in kirin beast form) letting the purified raindrops ease his pain.
Eridan Ampora (jade blood AU): When everyone's powers were going crazy because of the collar swap Taiki met Eridan in the meadow, he thought he was his roommate at first. However Gohran attacked and killed him. Taiki was traumatised and felt very guilty. The another Eridan appeared, Gohran killed him to, and a third. Taiki didn't know what to think and was horrified he had caused so much pain.
They next saw each other at the friendship affirmation party and Taiki apologised, so did Eridan though Taiki didn't know what he was apologising for, since it had been him who had been killed. Taiki told him no one should die, Eridan said it was those in control to blame for messing with their collars and they should find out more about them. He hadn't been in the tower long and had made a few friends including Willow. He also had some friends from home here. Taiki wondered if it was maybe better they weren't.
Eridan said the tower wasn't as bad as where they had come from, which scared Taiki as he couldn't imagine anywhere worse than the tower. Then they started again and made friends.
France (Female): They met in the elevator during the Midnight Man game. She seemed nice, she was in his group, she tried to help protect him and Echidna.
Ganondorf: A man Taiki found in the music room; he wanted to know what Sanshi was and he had shadows that protected him. He said some very strange things about righteousness. Taiki pointed out that good is always good and when Ganondorf argued he told him he was a Kirin and so couldn't disagree with the gods. He explained what a kirin was. Ganondorf told him his calling was noble and to go by his own standards of good. Taiki told him he wasn't a very good kirin. He told him not to cry and to work at being stronger; physically and mentally. He also told him he had to adapt. Taiki came out of the meeting thinking lots but also very sad.
He sponsored Ganondorf for a proper meal in the labyrinth on days four and six, and healing on day six.
During the candy event Ganondorf was dressed up as Santa and Taiki was ill and spoke to him. Well Sanshi did most of the talking... which was arguing. Telling Ganandorf that Taiki was a holy creature who could not be forcibly adapted to bloodshed and violence, Ganondorf telling her she was stupid and anyone could adapt and change their nature. Ganondorf suggested locking Taiki up in one of the cells but Taiki told him that the sickness was part of who he was and not having all his kirin powers that wouldn't change.
Ganondorf had fake candies and told Taiki that if people stole no one would cry for them if they died. Taiki told him that he would. He felt awkward and Sanshi explained that Taiki would always feel compassion for others and that he was inconveniencing them. Ganondorf told her that Taiki should grow up. Sanshi told him that despite his nature Taiki was not soft yet the tower made things difficult. Ganondorf told him to adapt, which Sanshi claimed would destroy him. She eventually left the table, carrying Taiki with her.
Haldir: Taiki's roommate, he didn't really talk to him much until they met in the meadow when Gyousou was there. Taiki introduced him to Sanshi and Gohran; Gyousou explained in more detail. Taiki asked if he came from the same woods as Legolas and Haldir told him no, a different woods and that Legolas was a prince.
When Gyousou disappeared Haldir tried to cheer Taiki up. He promised to always look after Taiki and promised him that Gyousou would return and so he should not be sad. Taiki explained how Kirin were always sad when separated from their masters. Haldir told him he should not lose hope then told him to dry his tears and that they were going on a picnic. Then Legolas appeared and they invited him too.
At the Christmas party Hadir learned that Gyousou had gone again.
Idrial: An elf lady who sings beautiful songs.
Jason: The cruelest administrator, he likes experimenting on people and always hurts them. Taiki spoke to him on the network once. He told Taiki that his curiosities could only be satisfied by hurting others.
Jin Shirato (AU): Taiki spoke to him on the network but Jin was anonymous so he didn't know it was him. Taiki answered a questionaire and then explained about Kirin and also the questionnaire he had answered before the October experiments.
Jun Kurosu: He was killed at the end of week two in the pod event, he was crushed to death by Riki.
Karkat Vantas (AU): Taiki hasn't actually met him but he has met spidermom and Karkat was hiding :S. He was killed at the end of week two of the pod event, he was crushed to death by Riki.
Karkat Vantas (OU): He was in Dax's pod.
Kidou Yuuto: He was in Dax's pod. They spoke in the last week. Kidou said that even though he didn't like the tower he wouldn't chose to go home because then he would have to leave his friends here behind. Taiki told him that even though he had friends his king wasn't here. He explained he was a kirin and Kidou asked him if he meant a giraffe or mythical creature. Taiki told him the mythical creature and then showed him before curling up and letting him pet his mane. He explained Kirin names and shitsedou.
At the wrap party Kidou and Taiki talked again and Taiki was glad Kidou would see his friends again soon and said he was sure they had been brave and strong.
They next saw each other in December, Kidou had a penguin that he had found in the aquarium and was with it in the snow. Taiki petted the penguin and they discussed ways to keep the penguins safe from the more vicious fish of the aquarium.
Legolas Greenleaf: An elf Taiki met in the meadow, he is very kind. Taiki told him that he had only heard of elves in childrens stories. Legolas said he came from the Woodland realm. He was just new and Taiki explained about his world and about kings and kirin. Legolas asked some questions and Taiki explained shitsedoh. Legolas thought it sounded cruel.
Taiki told him he was a kirin and that he looked different to most kirin. Legolas said he looked different to most elves of his kind. He told Taiki about his world and Taiki thought it sounded beautiful. He told Legolas that he didn't think the worlds could have gone since Keiki had told him he didn't think kirin could exist if their country was completely destroyed. They spoke about the administrators and wondered if they would ever get to meet them. Taiki told him about Ruana being on the network. They thought they should try and contact them to see if they answered. He was in Dax's pod.
Taiki spoke to him when they arrived and Legolas checked that he wasn't injured. He told Taiki he was going to help everyone be calm and Taiki agreed no one should panic. He promised to help Legolas. Legolas sang while the pod danced. At the end of the event they spoke about how awful Ruana was and how powerless they had been made. Neither could understand cruelty.
Taiki learned from Haldir that Legolas was a prince. Taiki met Legolas in the whale attack and he carried him down the stairs to a floor where Taiki could use his powers to switch forms. He told Taiki he could help carry people down from there as long as he was careful. Taiki told him to stay safe and be careful.
He burst into their room to ask Haldir on a hunt, Haldir asked him if he wanted to come on a picnic with Taiki and him instead.
Legolas came and found him before the post body swap party, he told Taiki he didn't have to call him Lord and that he didn't believe the worlds were gone and they should never lose hope. Taiki was worried because he thought the gods would have punished them by now if they were still alive, Legolas thought it was because they hadn't meant to leave Tai. He took Taiki to the party.
He next saw him in the candy collecting event, Legolas was dressed as a king. Taiki told him about Giraffe's and how it was the same word as Kirin in his earth language. Then they collected candy together by looking to see if any animals had taken it away to bury. Legolas told Taiki that Haldir was fond of him and Taiki was surprised. Taiki told him he thought Haldir thought Legolas kind even though he wouldn't admit it. Legolas made Taiki make a decision on what floor to look at next which Taiki found awkward, and they went to the forest. He turned up in the library when Taiki was meeting the other him.
Legolas (AU): Another Legolas who Taiki got muddled up and thought was the Legolas he knew. Other Legolas arrived as well, this Legolas is kind and friendly.
Link (AU): Link healed Eridan after Eridan had been tortured, Taiki was in the infirmary watching over Eridan. He likes Link because of this. They later spoke on the phone during Hitori Kakurenbo, Link told Taiki abot his world, about faries and goddesses and people living together in harmony. She told Taiki that as long as they had hope they would go home, and if the worlds were gone they could be restored. A couple of hours later Taiki saw her die over the phone, beaten with his crystallized princess. She was in Dax's pod and asked Taiki if he had seen Dax.
Majora: A strange lady who was dancing in the aquarium. She was in Dax's pod. She began to dance and Sanshi made Taiki join in.
Minato Arisato (AU): Was in the team who went with Signless to explore the lower floors of the tower. Voted for England to die during June.
Reno (OU): A window cleaner who works with Taiki, during the beginning of May he fell asleep and fell to his death, Taiki took pancakes to his room that he had ordered from the restaurant. Reno said they should go fix the harasses so no one else would get hurt and Taiki was glad to help.
Riki: One of the administrators, therefore very cruel and wrong.
Riku (OU): Taiki met him beyond the grass maze when he crashed there. Riku was practicing magic. He wore a blindfold like Ventus. Riku didn't know much about magic and Taiki told him he didn't know much despite the fact he was a kirin and should. He asked if Riku wanted a teacher; because Aqua had been teaching Taiki and he was sure she would teach Riku too.
Riku said it would make things easier but it wasn't just about what he wanted and getting lessons would be selfish when Aqua could be teaching his friends how to keep safe. Taiki felt bad about the fact he was having lessons, since he couldn't defend himself either way. He told Riku about learning to heal and how he wanted to help as many people as possible. Riku told him to keep that reason in his mind always.
They met again in the meadow some time later, they spoke about the growing tower and how it might differ depending on who is in charge. They met at the Christmas party and Riku had a bat.
Ruana: A very cruel administrator, she was the one who made everyone die in the pod event, she enjoys cruelty and turned Sayaka inside out.
Saku Gyousou: It's Gyousou. Taiki saw him in his nightmare world dead, he had nightmares in May of him dead and dying, he saw him dead in his dead world and yet Gyousou came to the tower. Taiki spent the next few weeks permamently attached to his shoulder. He filled Gyousou in about the tower, dead Tai and the fact he thought the gods were dead. Gyousou told him that as long as they were alive Tai till existed.
They met Fado and Vivi on their travels, Taiki told Gyousou how Fado played music for the gods. They met Haldir in the meadow and Gyousou was interested in his world and how it worked.
During the whale attack Gyousou went off to fight; Taiki lent him Gohran. Afterwards he took Taiki from under the table and gave him fruit. He thanked him for the loan of Gohran and praised him for his healing. He told him not to feel bad that people had still been hurt because he wasn't a god. Taiki eventually fell asleep in his arms, then spoke to Zelda. He made Taiki stay in bed until he felt better.
Then he disappeared and Taiki was heartbroken.
He came back though and there was much hugging. Gyousou told him he was strong to have carried on after seeing the destruction in Tai. Taiki filled him in about the body swapping (and the picnic!). Gyousou helped him collect candy all through October. However soon it became too much, Taiki was very ill from bloodsickness and they couldn't meet the criteria. Gyousou came to Taiki's side to try and help him as he died, Haldir was there and gave him elven tonic, Taiki was sad that Gyousou was angry and upset. Taiki died in his arms.
In December he disappeared again.
Sayaka Miki: She was in the media room listening to violin music. Taiki joined her and they listened together. During Hitori Kakurenbo she saw Taiki's video as his cupboard began to fill with blood. She told him to stay awake and he tried, but after learning she was safe and not involved in hide and seek the blood sickness took him and he fell unconscious. She spoke on the network when her powers were going out of control and Taiki wondered if it was another attempt to control them. She said she would smash her soul gem before she let them control her. Taiki begged her not to smash it and promised that it would be over soon. He saw her smash the soul gem of another girl during the pod event, then she got turned inside out by Ruana.
He spoke to her on the network but she was anonymous, he answered her questionnaire. He told her about the puzzle event.
Shion: Ventus killed him in the labyrinth.
Suzaku Kururugi: He was in Signless' group of people who explored the lower floors of the tower. In June he was exploded by Riki and died.
Tavros Nitram: He was in Dax's pod. He also was in Taiki's group for the puzzle event, he told Taiki not to cry, he had powers to control the bullfairies and did so to help them get through a maze, then they had to solve a puzzle clock which fell on them.
Terra (OU): He saw him whilst collected candy in the meadow.
Tohru Adachi: Taiki's roommate.
Urotsuki: She was in Dax's pod. She hadn't been in the tower long and was confused. She said maybe they should be thankful for the saving, Taiki told her the games often ended in people dying and explained that you came back from death. He promised that they would work together and help each other.
At the end of week two she came to comfort Taiki when he was crying she told him they couldn't help and powers didn't work and it hurt so much.
Vanellope von Schweetz: A girl who found Taiki cuddling with Sanshi and Gohran. She was cold, Taiki told her she could come and sit with them, she asked how he changed forms and he explained he was a kirin.
Veigar: Meteor summoning mage who was angry at the tower for making him ill. Sanshi told him to calm down and Taiki explained (hesitantly) that he wouldn't be able to stop them if he was angry and that there was a difference between being calm and being a coward. Veigar asked what he had done to change things. Gohran told him that his violence had changed nothing either. Veigar said that he was a member of a group to change things and Taiki assumed he meant the fellowship. Veigar got annoyed at his apologising and then walked away.
Wriggle Nightbug: A girl who is actually a firefly. She came to him when he was painting, she asked who he was painting and he explained it was his king. She asked if he liked insects, he didn't see a reason why not. She was a firefly even if she was big but slugs were really small like normal slugs. That was because she was a firefly youkai. She painted a picture of them, and made sure he was smiling in it. Then they went to the nice forest to listen to insects.
She told him his apologising was annoying and it made him feel bad. But then she made him smile again.
Yosuke Hanamura: He was in Dax's pod. It was his birthday in week three, a friend from Jason's pod had given him a present; he was eighteen. It was a figure that was part of his spirit, Taiki wondered if it was like his kirin form. Yosuke hadn't realised the kirin had been Taiki. He explained what a Kirin did; since Yosuke thought he was a kind of knight.
Yosuke asked what would happen if the king decided to kill a load of people. That made Taiki sad to think about and he said he would have to stop him or be punished by the gods. He apologised for being upset and Yosuke told him it was alright to miss people.
Yu Narukami: Voted for England to die during June.
Yukiteru Amano: New roommate, quiet and awkward. Taiki felt awkward around him and so painted quietly, Yukki asked what he was painting, which was Sanshi but didn't want to meet her. Yukki thought it was his fault the worlds had been destroyed. Taiki tried to reassure him it wasn't but wasn't able to. The conversation ended with them both curled up in balls on their beds being sad.
Zelda (sageprincess): He watched her die in Hitori Kakurenbo, she was turned into crystal and hit against Link until she shattered. During the labyrinth she asked if it were possible to enter the elevators. Taiki told her about the time he and Signless' group did and what had happened. He told her to be careful whatever she was planning. She was in Dax's pod. She played beautiful music on her harp.
She tried to get them to work out what the administrative were planning and what the challenges were in week three. Taiki was really sad but tried his best to help. He suggested playing a game in case it was to see how they coped with boredom after Zelda suggested it might be to see if they fought among themselves. Later they danced
In week four after they failed Taiki curled up next to her because she was safe, and she petted his hair. He next saw her at the fellowship meeting. She was one of the leaders of the fellowship. She spoke to Gyousou during the aftermath of the whale attack but Taiki was unconscious then.
Zo: A boy who is one of the administrators, he seems to be a captive with power.
Last updated 30/12/12
Disappeared character who Taiki knew (A-L)
Aradia Meido (OU): They met in the swimming pool and Taiki taught her how to swim. It was adorable.
Aradia Megido (OU): One of Eridan's visitors in the infirmary. Not the same Aradia who he taught to swim. They met properly after Hitori Kakurenbo when Taiki was crying in the meadow. She came to talk to him and asked if everything was okay. She had died as well. She was positive and hopeful though and cheered Taiki up. They went to the cafeteria after deciding that more friends was always good.
Aradia Megido (AU8): A different Aradia again, she helped him when he was sick after the monster attack (moving event). She has mind magic and carried him on a chair of air. She was kind.
Assassin (Li Shuwen): Taiki's roommate.
Aqua: She was advertising magic classes over the network. She agreed to teach Taiki how to heal. He began taking lessons with her. After the monster attack (moving event) she helped him and cured him with magic. He felt bad that she had wasted magic on him. She was in his group in the Midnight Man game and found the just as the Midnight Man did. She was in Dax's pod.
Buffy Summers: She was new and Taiki spoke to her. She wanted to know who she should hurt to get out of the tower. Taiki didn't like the thought of her hurting anyone.
Canada (female): They met in the aquarium and spoke about how they were trapped. Taiki learnt what a Nation was.
Castiel: An angel who Taiki met on his first day in the tower. He knew what a Kirin was and also knew Keiki. He told Taiki that the tower claimed the worlds had been destroyed and that he had been here for months. He also told Taiki that people died a lot but came back to life, an idea that Taiki found disturbing. Later Taiki found him in the library but he was paranoid and wondered if Castial wanted to harm him. Castial was hearing voices. He asked if Taiki was scared of him.
Cain Knightlord: A friendly man who knocked on Taiki's door and wanted to know about his world. Taiki told him about Tai and about Gyousou and about flying off the tower. Cain wants to help everyone get home and so Taiki was happy to help by answering questions.
Ciel Phantomhive: He was killed in week two of the pod event, he was crushed to death by Riki.
Her Imperial Condensation: Another visitor to Eridan when he was sick. They met in the aquarium, Taiki was scared and Condesce believed him week. Taiki told her he was not a human. Later she was in Signless' group when they went down into the tower. Signless posted a warning about her on the network to say she was violent and should be avoided.
Crona: A person who Taiki met when they had cut themselves. They had black blood which was really strange but it still made Taiki feel ill, Sanshi helped them as much as she could. They told Taiki they had a weapon in their blood, that was disturbing to Taiki. They then were upset because they missed home.
Dante (OU): Taiki's roommate. He was very noisy when he arrived and Gohran growled at him. He was scary but seemed nice enough once Taiki got Gohran to stop growling.
Deneb: He was in Taiki's group in the Midnight, he was very brave but couldn't light his candle quick enough and got caught.
Edward Elric: They met on Taiki's first day in the tower, Edward wanted to know what Sanshi was and they spoke about different worlds and Taiki found out Ed had been in the tower for two months.
Echidna Hackett: She was in his group for the Midnight Man game. She was really scared so Taiki held her hand. In hour seven on Hitori Kakurenbo, after Dave died she heard him crying down the phone. They spoke about how no one should have to die and she told him everything would be okay in the end. Six hours later he watched over the phone as she suffocated. He spoke to her, trying to keep her awake but she ran out of air and died.
Eraqus: Taiki's roommate, he helped them deal with one of Ventus' nightmares.
Eridan Ampora (hemostuck AU): Taiki's roomate, he looks like Dualscar and so Taiki was terrified of him at first. It didn't help that Taiki was paranoid and asumed he had come to kill him. They started off badly and things got worse. When the final stage of the experiment hit Taiki decided to fly away and offered to take Eridan with him.
They died and Taiki avoided Eridan believing the troll was mad at him, he then apologised and offered to do whatever Eridan wanted to make it up for him. Eridan wanted one of Taiki's shirei so Taiki asked Gohran if he'd protect Eridan but Gohran refused. Eridan decided Taiki could run errands for him instead and bring him food. Taiki agreed and a friendship was born. Taiki turned up in his nightmare world where he was being tortured and helped rescue him.
After they returned Eridan was in the infirmary, Taiki stayed with him in case anyone tried to hurt him, so that Gohran was nearby. This made him even more ill than he already was because of the exposure the blood. They talked about what had happened and Taiki made Eridan realise it was not his fault, and he had been innocent. Snuggling was added, which made Taiki more ill.
So when they got out of the infirmary Taiki collapsed and had to spend a few days in bed. Eridan stayed with him and looked after him. When the tower got attacked by monsters Taiki and Eridan fought together. Or rather Gohran, Sanshi and Eridan fought together, with England, while Taiki tried not to pass out and bandaged wounds when necessary.
They spoke on the network when Eridan wanted advice on human romance (something Taiki knows nothing about). He learned that Eridan liked Willow (because he was oblivious before that). He also learned about imperial drones (well... he got so far as they killed those who didn't find a mate) and that there were some in the tower. From then on Eridan flailed at Taiki about Willow.
After Hitori Kakurenbo (which Eridan was luckily not part of) Eridan followed Taiki to the meadow and held him while he cried. He told him about what had happened and they spoke a little bit, but it was mainly crying and hugging.
They got a new roommate and Eridan seemed annoyed by him, Taiki was a little worried but promised Eridan that he would look after Ventus. He has began to call Taiki Tai and Taiki hasn't (and probably never will) bucked up the courage to correct him.
When Willow threw a party Eridan was happy because no one could do violence there, he told Taiki he didn't have to worry and that if anyone tried anything they would find out how powerful Willow was.
Then one morning Taiki was woken by Eridan screaming bloodsickness to find a dead Feferi in their room; a present from the administration. He tried to get to Eridan he shouted at Taiki for calling her his friend and not moirail. Eridan kept hugging him, too ill to do anything else. He tried to stop Eridan from doing anything reckless but failed. He promised to look after Feferi's body and did so until he fell unconscious.
Taiki found out from Willow that Eridan she and Eridan had died, Taiki felt bad that he hadn't been able to stop him. The three of them went and cuddled and watched a film.
When Ventus had nightmares Eridan was really impatient. Taiki tried to make him calm down so they could help Ventus.
When Taiki had awful nightmares Eridan hugged him and told him he knew he would never hurt anyone. He promised to look after Taiki while Taiki couldn't sense Sanshi and Gohran. Then they agreed to go and look for Ventus because they were worried. When Taiki returned in July Eridan was gone.
Eridan Ampora (OU): He was cleaning and Taiki mixed him up for other Eridan at first. He was in other Eridan's nightmare world when Taiki and Vivi turned up.
Fado: He was on floor eleven playing the violin. Taiki stopped to listen, Fado asked if he was okay since he looked ill. Taiki explained blood made him sick. Fado asked why there was blood and Taiki explained what had happened with Feferi. Fado said it was cruel what had happened and Taiki ended up spilling his feelings to him. Fado told him that he should think positively and that it was his duty to help people maintain faith. To serve the gods and repel evil. He is the Wind Sage.
He asked what a kirin was so Taiki showed him and explained what his duties were. Taiki stayed and listened to more music.
He found Taiki whilst he was painting and asked if he was crying again. He apologised and asked him how he was. Fado was alright, Taiki asked if he liked painting; Fado said music had been his specialty. Taiki asked if he wanted to try. Taiki found out that Fado had died in his world but his spirit had stayed and therefore had met the sages that came after him.
Taiki thought that was really sad and lonely, to stay at the temple all that time. Fado told him he played music for the gods. Taiki showed him the painting and told him it was his king; who he didn't want to forget. Fado told him that you never truly forget, not in your heart and so as long as you remember the feelings surrounding people you will never forget them truly. He told Taiki about his forest and Taiki recognised it, he asked if he came from the same place as Link.
Fado told him Link's stories and how he was a hero who saved everyone and brought hope, and about his princess and the evil king. Link continued to travel to find people to help because he was a true hero. They spoke in the fellowship, Taiki was saying they shouldn't be violent and Fado supported him against Momotaros. He said that they should work to minimise violence. He met Gyousou.
Feferi (OU): They made friends and talked about Alternia and how it was different from Earth. They also discuss how their worlds can't have been destroyed (and how Feferi's original world was).
Feferi Peixes (hemostuck AU): Not someone Taiki has met (or has ever been in the tower); apart from her mutilated corpse. Once hanging in a square in Eridan's nightmare world and once given to Eridan as a 'present' by the administration.
Gentarou Kisaragi: A very enthusiastic and scary man Shion met at breakfast. He was new and Taiki told him he could eat whatever he wanted once he finished the oatmeal. He told him about the administrators and how they claimed to have saved them. He went off to find his friends if they were in the tower. He told Taiki to come find him if he ever needed help.
Germany (OU): Gohran killed him during the experiments. Taiki later apologised to him over the network.
Ghirahim: Someone who wished to paint the tower as they thought it was boring. Taiki offered to lend him his paints but he said he had found some already. He asked Taiki his favourite colours. Taiki said blue, purple and yellow.
Taiki never did learn that the peek in bloodsickness because of the new blood all over the walls was caused by the nice person he had spoken to on the network.
He later met him in person during the first week of May, he was sewing. He told Taiki he had been on his own for hundreds of years so had learned to sew. He was waiting for his master who had been captured and sealed due to a long war with the goddess of their world. He wanted to rule the world against the will of the goddess. Ghirahim wondered why humans were favoured so much, Taiki said it was because humans were kind most of the time and they are the ones chosen by the gods to rule.
The Grand Highblood: Signless posted a warning about him on the network; saying he was dangerous and should be avoided.
The Handmaid: She stopped him to ask him questions after he stared at her because she looked like Aradia. She wanted to know how long he had been there and who was in charge. She was in his group for the Midnight Man game. She wanted to know if it was safe to stay in a group, and what was stopping them just sitting in a circle. Taiki told her they were supposed to move because they really had no choice.
Izanami: A lady Taiki ate breakfast with one day.
Kanaya Maryam (AU): Visited Eridan in the infirmary
John Egbert: He was in Dax's pod.
Keiki: Taiki learnt that Keiki was in the tower on his first day. There was tears and hugging and Keiki told Taiki the little that he knew about the place they had been brought to and also that there were talking ponies there.
Kohaku: She was in Taiki's group in the mousetrap event. They had to get through a maze using bullfairies and solve a puzzle clock that fell on them.
Kuja: He was in Dax's pod. He voted for Ventus to die. Taiki was very mad at him. Taiki glared at him for a few days, Kuja asked if he had known Ventus. Taiki told him that he was his friend and didn't trust people easily and shouldn't have died. Kuja
manipulated the hell out of himtold him he was sorry and he wouldn't vote again; that he thought he would be saving Ventus who had seemed so miserable. Taiki eventually apologised for being rude.In week three Taiki was suspicious that he had voted for Tara but they spoke and Kuja convinced him he hadn't; wondering who had voted for such a kind person and hoped they had had as good intentions as he had when voting for Ventus.
L: A man who Taiki found examining the ceiling, he was nice though and new and asked Taiki some questions about the tower.
Leon Magnus: They met in the corridors, Leon was a little bossy and asked Taiki lots of questions. Taiki answered as best he could.
Link (OU): They spoke while Taiki was paranoid and Link was trying to set up a fighting group. It went as well as could be expected. Taiki didn't trust Link and told him violence was wrong.
Link (SS): He was in the workshop carving.
Link (MM): He was playing a tune on an instrument Taiki had never seen before. It was a short tune but he played it over and over. Taiki sat and listened for a long time and eventually began humming along. He told Taiki he had had lots of practice and a very good teacher. Taiki sponsored him for a proper meal on day five of the labyrinth.
Disappeared character who Taiki knew (M-Z)
Marceline: She played nice music and then they spoke about the food in the tower and how the world wasn't destroyed. When Taiki was ill after going to Eridan's world she came to see him. She and Eridan spoke, mainly about music and she called Taiki her friend.
After the monster attack (moving event) Taiki was very sick again. Marceline helped him though and put him back to bed. She was very kind though she said she wasn't very good at helping people. Taiki was very grateful to her.
In Hitori Kakurenbo during hour sixteen he saw her video as she waved, he waved back and they had a silent conversation asking if each other were okay. Afterwards she found him in the meadow, she hugged him and let him cry. They then spoke about how they wanted it to stop, and that those in power should never abuse those under their control. She told him they had to be brave and that they could be tougher than the ones that brought them here. They stood up and kept going.
Mimio: He was hiding in the kitchen same as Taiki in Hitori Kakurenbo, he said Taiki was brave they spoke for a while.
Momotaros: A really scary red person who told Taiki off for wanting to stop violence, he said they shouldn't let the administrators walk all over them.
Naoto Shirogane: She stopped Taiki to ask him some questions.
Nyarlathotep: A scary man Taiki met at the art gallery.
Orphaner Dualscar: In the aquarium, with a pair of cutlesses. Taiki almost passed out because he had been killing sharks and fish. Dualscars was discusted by Taiki's weakness and planned to slash him a little to teach him a lesson. However Sanshi and Gohran intervened, Sanshi snatched Taiki away and Gohran fought. Taiki had a cut on his arm though and was in a bad way for a couple of days. Gohran ripped one of Dualscar's arms off.
He then came to their room when Taiki was ill. Eridan seems to like him though because he is his ancestor. Through their conversation Taiki learnt a little about the hemospectrum and how it was used for people to be cruel to others. Later Dualscar made a network post about troll romance, Taiki who was worried about the idea of Kismisis spoke to him. He ended up even more confused and explained to Dualscar a little about Kirin. All without knowing who it actually was that he was talking to until later.
Signless posted a warning about him to the network; saying that he was violent and should be avoided.
Philemon: A nice person he met in the art gallery who invited him to join them.
Psiioniic: He went down in the elevator with Taiki, they stayed in the elevator together while the others went about their mission, Psiioniic's mind was hacked into and his powers turned on Taiki before the elevator plummeted downwards killing them both. He was in Taiki's group during the Midnight man game and they went round together. He said that the game was tame by tower standards.
Taiki sponsored him during the labyrinth for a proper meal on days four, five, six, seven and eight. Powers on day five. Healing on day six and seven. Water on day seven and a warning on day eight.
Protoman: Protoman surprised Taiki and made him drop his tray in the cafeteria, he snapped at him to tell him to watch what he was doing and then stormed off. Taiki is going to try and avoid him.
Rose Lalonde: She played the violin, it was very pretty and Taiki went to listen to her.
Rose Strider: She was in Dax's pod.
Ross Lalonde: They met on floor 20 just after Taiki woke up from dying. Taiki gave Ross some information about the tower since Ross was new.
Rin Kagamine: A Queen who demanded to know where she was. She wasn't very polite.
Russia: A man who came to help Taiki after the whale event.
Ryoji Mochizuki (OU): Was in Taiki's group in the mousetrap event. He comforted Taiki when he was crying and told him he wasn't alone. They had to traverse a maze using bullfairies and work out a puzzle clock that fell on them.
Santana Lopez: A really mean girl he met on floor 17, Taiki almost fainted from the blood there and she threatened to leave him if he passed out. They managed to get out of the room and she told him that he was weak and worthless, he agreed. She told him to find something else to do and finally snapped at him and told him she didn't care when he tried to explain about Kirin's. So he ran away in tears.
They later met when Santana was singing and dancing. He had went to see who was singing and was worried when he saw it was Santana. They spoke for a while but he annoyed her and she sent him away, just to call him back to tell him that he was too polite and that was why he was annoying. Taiki didn't really understand so she told him to go away.
Signless: Taiki answered his post asking for help in bringing down the people who were keeping them prisoner. Even though Taiki cannot fight he offered to let his Shirei help and help in any way he could. He told Signless he could walk through solid matter and was recruited.
Later he went to meet Signless and they discussed their plan. Taiki told Signless he couldn't fight at all and that blood made him ill. Signless suggested that once Taiki had helped them get into the elevator he go so he didn't get hurt. Taiki then began to demonstrate what he could do.
They went down under the Tower together, Taiki let them into the elevator and remained with Psiioniic as the others went about their mission.
He posted to the network warning about some violent trolls and trying to find a way to stop them. Taiki asked if they had magic that could be sealed. Signless asked if he could seal weapons and Taiki apologised and said he couldn't.
Sollux Captor (AU): Taiki didn't really meet him but he did come to visit Eridan when Eridan was sick. Taiki was there (though not really concious) he knows he is Eridan's kismesis, and doesn't really understand what that means. Once he learned what that meant he became very wary of Sollux.
Sonata Shinonome: A girl who Taiki met after the whale attack when he was under the table. She told him it wasn't a good place to nap and tried to make him go to the infirmary. Taiki didn't want to because of the blood. She called him a scaredy cat and then went to find help.
She was stuck in America's body during the swap. Taiki changed forms and let her fly on his back so they could find her body. He told her he could fly because he was a kirin, she thought Kirin were great.
South Italy (female): She was one of the people experimented on and Taiki really wanted to help her but as she had skin cut open he almost passed out and made her feel worse. Sanshi helped her though.
Spain (female): Taiki was paranoid so turned into Kirin form, he terrfied Spain (who was also paranoid) and then changed back into a human and cried. Spain wanted to know if he was going to eat him and Taiki felt really bad. She finally told him to go away and he is now avoiding her. They later met after the creepy network posts. She still seemed scared but she was nice to him. She told him she had killed her daughter and Taiki was horrified. But he knew it was the towers fault. She hugged him and told him that her name was Isabel. She was very kind.
Tank Dempsey: A scary and rude man Taiki met in the corridors.
Tara Maclay: She was in Dax's pod. She was quite new and lost. He spoke to her and they spoke about what this new game might entail. She took him to find food and he told her about who was in charge since she was confused. They hoped that with the administrative's concentration on them that those left behind would be safe even if there was no power or food. At the end of week two she spoke to him before the results telling him he didn't need to vote and that those killed could warn the tower what was happening. Then she was voted out; killed by the press of a button.
Tatsuya Suou: He was killed in week two of the pod event, he was crushed to death by Riki.
Vanitas (OU): He shoved Taiki out of the way in the coridoor, Sanshi burst out to protect him and Vanitas asked what it was. Taiki explained and apologised.
Ventus (AU): The third member of their room, he wears a blindfold that he cannot take off and cannot ask questions because his king forbade him. Taiki feels that his king was very cruel, and though he knows that kings in different worlds are different he still feels sad. He got really upset when he learned he was in a different world but was happy when he realised Taiki and Eridan weren't annoyed by his presence. Taiki promised Eridan he would look after Ventus and make sure he was alright. Eridan ordered Ventus to ask any questions he needed.
He came across Ventus as he was being attacked by monsters, Gohran saved them and they escaped. Taiki asked him to get on his back, but his powers were going crazy and they crashed landed. Taiki worked out that Ventus' collar was a different colour. They were both at the friendship affirmation party though Ventus found it difficult to have friends, he flinched at Taiki's touch and Taiki felt bad. They spoke a little bit but then drifted off into awkward silence.
He was there when Feferi's dead body was put in their room, Taiki tried to explain what was happening whilst comforting Eridan and trying not to faint. In the end Ventus left. He woke everyone up with a nightmare and they tried to wake him up without scaring him even more. He kept saying Vanitas, and a key appeared in his hands. He sponsored him for water and a meal on day two, then water on day three. He was sad when Ventus killed the boy he was with, and didn't know what to think. Still he was worried about Ventus when Ventus ran away after his death punishment.
When he returned he had recieved his 'reward' a type of model weapon. He was scared of it and so was Taiki. Taiki explained what it was, confirming Ventus' fears. Taiki told him he was sorry for what had happened to him and Ventus told him he had been through worse, Taiki didn't know what to say. Ventus apologised and Taiki told him he wouldn't hurt him, couldn't hurt him. He was in Dax's pod. He worried a lot and didn't like the bracelet they had to wear. He was voted to die by Kuja and Dax killed him with a press of a button. Taiki tried to stop them taking him... It was the last time he saw Ventus, by the time Taiki returned to the tower Ventus was gone forever.
Vivi Ornitier: A little black mage Taiki met at Molly's party, he was very nice and shared his food with Taiki. He came to Taiki's nightmare world and they both went on to Eridan's to save him. He met Gyousou.
Vriska Serket (OU): He didn't really meet her but he did follow her fairy dust trail to the forest to Karkat's lusus and got eaten by spidermom after Vriska and Karkat made him fall asleep.
Willow Rosenberg: Taiki first saw her in the infirmary when she came to see Eridan. Then she came to see Eridan again when Taiki was sick. She brought cookies (which was nice even if Taiki couldn't have them) and then she did magic and enchanted Eridan's ring so that Sollux couldn't hurt him. She is a very nice person. When Taiki learned that she loved Eridan and Eridan loved her back he liked her even more.
He stumbled across her when she was watching Zombieland on the media floor. The voilence disturbed him. They spoke a bit about why Taiki didn't like violence, why Willow didn't like it but believed it to be necessary. She also told Taiki she didn't find him annoying and that Eridan was most likely just worried about him. They then watched Fival: An American Tail and it was adorable.
She was in Taiki's group for the Midnight Man game and tried to protect him and Echidna. She threw a party and made it so no one could do violence there, she is a very powerful witch. After Feferi's dead body was put in their room and once Taiki had woken up from being unconscious he met Willow who looked very sad, she told him she and Eridan had died. Taiki felt bad and guilty. The three of them went to watch a film.
Xehanort: They met on the outside staircase. Taiki had lost his powers and so was in human form, it was very difficult to get down the stairs and so Xehanort carried him down. He was a very kind man. He had been there a couple of months. He asked if Taiki wanted to go home and said many people did. Taiki asked if he didn't feel the same way. He said that he came from a place with lots of worlds and his job could be done anywhere.
Taiki apologised for being nosy and Xehanort told him there was no shame in asking questions because it was the only way to learn. He told him to be more assertive and Taiki worried about being rude. Xehanort told him that he could come to him at any point if he needed help. They spoke during the storm watching party, Xehanort likes storms.
Zidane Tribal: He asked on the network if anyone had seen his friends, Taiki had seen Vivi and told him that Vivi had saved him once and hoped he was still there and safe. He also taught Zidane how to use computers. He was in Dax's pod. In week two Taiki was running on the treadmills in kirin form crying. He turned back to human and cried at Zidane about the fact they had to chose between losing; therefore killing people and having someone worse than Dax win, or winning; therefore killing people horribly. And no one should die. Zidane told him they would find a way, because there were strong brave people.
