BOOM
The sound was not unlike a small explosion when house hit the GeneCo building squarely on the western face of the 15th floor. Weirdly, rather than turning into a rain of debris onto the streets below, the house somehow managed to skid sideways into the structure, leaving a huge hole to the outside. It was only the first floor of the house, though, as the upper had been sheared off by both the tornado-force winds and the impact and was now resting cock-eyed on top of an unfortunate Wal-Mart.
Shilo sat on what was left of the dining-room floor, staring dazedly out the hole in the wall. By a sheer stoke of luck, the house's position when it landed made the hole line up perfectly with one of the inner hallways of the fifteenth floor. Not far beyond, a very surprised-looking scalpel slut was standing there, her mouth hanging open.
"I'm...not dead?"

"Well, that's a very fucking astute observation," Charming grumbled, stepping out of the house and attempting to dust himself off.
Annoyed, he opted to just give up and simply yelled "Shirt!" to the universe in general as he ripped the dirty fabric off his perfect body.
Today it seemed Genterns were playing the role of magic mice, as two promptly turned up to provide the prince with a clean white shirt (the kind he liked, with the puffed sleeves) and a purple ascot.

"Oh, shut the hell up," she snapped as she got to her feet.
"All of that could've been avoided if you just told the truth."
She blinked at the sight of the Genterns.
"...uhhh...how do I get out of here?"

"All of that could have been avoided if you'd just went along with the fucking program instead of picking everything apart," Charming growled as he finished tying his ascot.
"Now then-"
Whatever the prince had been about to say was interrupted by the arrival of a tiny white ball of utterly adorable fluff. It was a puppy. One so sickeningly cute that it could easily put anything from the fairytale lands to shame.
It had a rather large knife in its sweet little mouth.
"Oh, puppy..." Charming said as he took the knife. "For your sake I hope this is one of Mai's. You know how Luigi gets whenever he loses one of his stabbing implements."

Shilo just stared at the dog.
"I would really, really like to know the way out of here."
Being in GeneCo made her nervous, for more reasons than one.

"And I would really, really like to not give a fuck. Oh, hey, looks like at least one of us has their wish!" It was truly a joyous feeling, GeneCo provided a safe haven from his duties.
Charming turned to one of the Genterns and handed her the knife. "Is Luigi in or is he out playing captain Stabby again?"

Glaring at...whoever the fuck he really was, Shilo turned around, picked up a bit of debris, and chucked it at him as hard as she could.
"Fuck you, asshole. I wasn't the one being a creepy freak instead of just being honest. Go to hell!"
She stomped off, away from him. She'd just find the elevator. Every place had elevators.

Charming shrugged, blissfully devoid of any compulsion to chase her down and declare his undying love.
It wasn't often that the story gave up on such things, but it seemed as if even the endless imaginations of billions over thousands of years got sick and tired of trying to please this girl.

Now she had another problem: she had no idea where the hell she was in one of the most visible buildings in the world, and what's more, one of the most ominous yet fascinating companies she could think of. Shilo would have been overwhelmed by the celebrity and infamy of it all if she hadn't already dealt with a fairy tale gone wrong ending on a Wizard of Oz crash-landing.
"Um..."
Now creepy thoughts were crowding in, about Repo Men and how they maimed people and--
"Can someone show me the elevator?!" She called out into the empty hall, her skin crawling.
No stupid they won't come for you you don't owe them anything.
Boogeymen, however, were boogeymen. She walked faster.

Boogeymen? No.
There were no boogeymen.
There was, however, a unicorn.
It sauntered casually into the hallway, briefly looked towards Shilo, then sauntered on.
((because you can never have enough random unicorn moments))

Shilo just stared, then shook her head as though to shake off the weird image.
"No way."

"I'd forgotten about that guy," Charming said with a grin, coming up behind her.
"He... she... it mostly sticks to Pavi's rooms nowadays."

"I think I'll believe anything now, seriously."
She sighed.
"...Pavi? Eww. He's creepy."

Well, if she'd reached the 'believing anything' phase a bit sooner they'd have had a much easier go of it, but Charming only grunted slightly and opted not to comment.
"Yeah, he kinda is... but we can't really pick our in-laws." The prince shrugged.

"Dude, no kidding."
She sighed.
"Do you know where the elevator is?"
