2-05 (closed)

She'd been paralyzed before, so she knew better than to panic. Just wait it out and it'll go away. Just wait it out... Sure enough, less than a minute later she was able to move. After letting out a sigh of relief, Luca opened her eyes, sat up, and realized she had no idea where she was. What was she wearing?

"...Master Cid? Rydia?"

Wandering the halls (open; various floors and stairways)

She'd found that letter and couldn't quite believe it. Destroyed? That was exactly what she'd been trying to prevent! There was no way. Absolutely none. There had to be some other explanation.

If she was here, the others might be, too. Master Cid, Rydia, Calca and Brina, and... well, everyone else.

So she left her room to look for answers, after changing back into her usual clothes, pulling her shirt collar up to cover that weird thing around her neck, and grabbing up her shield and axe. If she ran into somebody else, she would wave them down and call out, "Hey! You got a minute?"

Floor Seventeen (open)

Luca stood at the bottom of the staircase, looking around at the bloody handprints everywhere, and covering her ears to block out that horrible screaming.

"Seriously? What the heck is this supposed to be?"

Comments

"I think it serves better food than the stuff in the downstairs cafeteria, but you have to get something from around the Tower before they let you in. I don't know how good it is though."

[mechanicprincess]

"...Huh. I guess I'll look and see at some point." She emerged from the stairwell on floor eighteen and glared up at the lights as they flickered. "I haven't had anything from the cafeteria yet, either. Guess I should sometime..."

She turned to watch for Ven coming up the stairs. "How long have you been here, anyway?"

[forceless]

"It's worth a shot I guess. You have to eat the oatmeal from the Cafeteria downstairs before you can eat anything here though. Otherwise you just throw up."

Ven had a small look of disgust on his face for a minute as he followed her up the stairs. At the question however, he stopped. "Uuuh....." He had to think for a moment. He never was really good with time anymore. "At least six months I think?"

[mechanicprincess]

Luca shared his look of disgust. Oatmeal wasn't so bad; the issue was why it was like that. She didn't like being forced into anything.

"Six whole months?" She let out a low whistle. That long, and still stuck here... "And just earlier I was thinking I'd find a way home in a week at most. Y'think I was a little too optimistic?"

[forceless]

He gave a sheepish chuckle; he hadn't meant to be a downer like this! "Heh, you never know. Some people leave a little while after they come here, but I don't know where they go. I don't think it's posisble for all of our worlds to be completely destroyed though, so there's no need to give up all hope."

[mechanicprincess]

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're lying about that part." She'd have noticed. She wouldn't have been able to not notice, and besides, the others would be here too if that were the case. She was sure of it.

"You don't have to worry about me giving up hope. Just make sure you don't, either." She managed to grin at him. "I'm Luca, by the way. You?"

[forceless]

"Of course not! It sucks here, but there are some good people stuck here too."

And he returned the grin in kind. "My name's Ventus, but everyone calls me Ven. Nice to meet you, Luca."
