Another Leo exploring the Tower
Characters: Martyred and YOU
Setting: Various settings throughout the day
Format: Whichever. I'll match
Summary: Cautious exploring
Warnings: None yet
Even with her promise to her other self, she couldn't help but want to see what this place really looked like, beyond the floors the elevator visited. She set aside one day to make sure she knew this place, top to bottom. That was always the first order of business. Scouting. How could she protect him if she didn't know what might be coming? So she started from the bottom and worked her way up through the tower, taking nearly all day to do it.
FLOOR EIGHT
After the bookhive floor, the floor with an enormous ablution trap and that strange forest with the wrong beasts in it, she had been...deposited at a maze floor. Her first instinct was to gasp, pressing back against the stairs and hoping she was not trapped on this floor. Watching the labyrinth fights, for the brief time she had seen them, had given her a small fear of these mazes and what might be lurking around a corner.
Still, she does step off the staircase, curiously touching the walls. She remembered colors, she thinks. But she can't be sure.
FLOOR TEN
This floor seemed immense, walls of shimmering water and vast dark shapes moving through them. This is the realm of seadwellers, she imagined. She shouldn't be here. It would be asking for trouble to stay here...Yet she'd always been curious. She'd lost her Sufferer when she was pulled to this world. What does it matter anymore if she upset them?
Martyred stepped closer, placing a hand to the water's edge and gasping as her hand slid right through. She stumbled back a few steps and pulled her hood up tightly. Eyes slid side to side for any presence and when she felt comfortable again, she slid her fingers through the water, gasping in delight.
FLOOR TWENTY ONE
The food here looked much better than the weird bars she had been living off for her time here. But the lack of posted prices anywhere...Well she'd seen those places before. Highblood places, where if you had to ask, you couldn't afford it. Instincts say to move on, to find somewhere else that might have food of any kind.
But...Maybe if she lingers, off in the corner, she can see if someone actually buys anything and what the price actually is. She's gotten very good at blending in where she shouldn't be.
FLOOR THIRTY TWO
Martyred had decided that this island, green and full of trees, seems like a decent place to stop after this endless climb. After the hedge maze, the floor with missing steps and vicious monsters snapping at her heels, and the strange floor with no walls just below, a floating island seemed positively normal. She cautiously made her way around it. It was thrilling to be under trees again, even somewhat unfamiliar ones. The forest soon enveloped her, but with her claws at the ready and on somewhat familiar territory, she felt ready for whatever or whoever appeared from behind these tree trunks. With any luck, she'd find a beast here and have a proper meal for the first time since her arrival.
[OOC NOTE: She will be visiting EVERY floor so if you really wanted to tag her on one particular floor, then go ahead, just make sure you put the floor number so I know!]

Floor 10
[Kafuka balances on her heels, hands folded behind her back as she smiles brightly at the troll. She turned to look at the water almost longingly.]
Makes you wish you could swim in it!
Floor 10
I've never been one for swimming. You never know what lies in the shadows. [She pauses] But it is beautiful. The colors and light.
no subject
[Kafuka runs her fingers over the edge of the water.]
But I don't think we're meant to swim in here. The view is more than enough, though.
no subject
[It escaped her before she had a chance to think about it. After all, this was a girl who might not even know what a seadweller was]
Even if they do, it's still beautiful. Makes you a little envious of the aquaticbeasts, doesn't it?
no subject
[These eyes stare into your soul. And then she giggles.]
A little! I'm a good swimmer but I still need air. There's a pool, but it doesn't have the pretty view...
no subject
[She sighs and smiles thinly] The pool seemed...somewhat dangerous for one who can't swim, but--humans swim? Why swim if you can't breath water?
no subject
[There is no mockery here, only sincere curiosity, and perhaps a little earnest concern. She blinks again at the question, then smiles all bright and kind and innocent.]
Because swimming is fun! In the heat of summer, there is nothing better than to gather with friends and go out into the sea! Enjoy the waves and the salt and the sand! The sun on your skin! In the afternoon, smashing a watermelon and playing games! Or even if you can't afford to visit the sea, there's always the local pool! The sound of children laughing! Mothers building support groups and exchanging stories!
[There might or might not be shojo sparkles around somewhere. We're still not sure if those are a super power or just people under suggestion.]
Whether in the sea or in a pool, swimming is a skill that will bring you joy and prosperity!
[ B E A M I N G ]
And I can teach you, if you want.
no subject
This. This human does know she's not a human too right?]
. . . Well I don't think I have a need to learn. Not even here.
no subject
Why not?
no subject
no subject
[Vehemence, she has it.]
The pool is pretty amazing! And water is fun, too.
[She smiles.]
You have nothing to be afraid of, there!
no subject
no subject
[She smiles brightly, spreading her arms and looking over at the wall of colorful fish.]
All you need to be happy is out there, waiting for you!
no subject
In that sea of fish? I sincerely doubt it.
no subject
You're funny.
