Floor Seven
[The water here doesn't smell fresh or clean, it smells like astringent chemicals and reflects the surreal light blue of the paint lining the pool's basin. Still, it's something he hasn't done in a while. The Tower is all about trying different things to while away time, so perhaps it's time to revisit that period of his childhood where he practically lived in the water.

Thankfully, swimsuits are available and in plentiful supply, so finding one that fits isn't too difficult. He stretches a little bit before diving into the pool almost elegantly. Muscle memories, perhaps. He splashes around a bit, getting used to the strange quality to the water - he assumes from those chemicals they use to keep it clean for public use - before starting to swim properly. His strokes are even, although his leading arm droops a bit due to lack of practice.

After a couple laps, he does notice the odd branches off, hints of something new to explore. Why not indulge a bit, as he's already started... He never did any proper diving, but with a bit of magic, holding his breath shouldn't be too much of a problem.]


Floor Fourteen
[He's managed to find a corner to himself, playing one of the games while perched on a chair with his back straight, frighteningly good posture for something so casual as playing a game. He's intent on what he's doing, pressing the buttons with precision, a look of intense concentration lining his face.

It's such a strange hobby to have gotten into, but it's one that works on reflexes and timing and reactions, all things that are important to keep sharp. This is its own form of training in a way.]


Floor Nineteen
[He pores slowly over a rather decrepit tome, gloved fingers carefully holding the corners of pages. This book is one of his favourites, one filled with the complex magical runes of some long-dead civilization. It's something he's been working through slowly, and while he has a great many of his prized books he doesn't have all of the ones he was using to help him break the complex codes.

He's never backed down from a challenge, though, and while his progress has slowed, he's still made it. It's a good way to pass time, especially when the mazes and other features of the tower simply don't satisfy. There's not a lot of ways to further his own learning, so sometimes he simply must take matters into his own hands and challenge himself.]


Floor Twenty-Four
[He doesn't realize how lucky he is. He's simply staring at the walls of the apparently empty room, tapping them curiously every now and them as if searching for something.]


Floor Thirty-Three
[He's stooped over, examining the soil. It's dark and rich and loamy, perfect for growing things. While he's not terribly interested in such things himself, he's sure that others will find the land suitable. It's quiet, though, and being outdoors is comfortingly familiar. Even in desolate places such as the Keyblade Graveyard, feeling the wind and the sun at his back gave him a sense of progression.]


Anywhere else?
[Perhaps you cross paths between floors, or on your way somewhere else. He's not hard to miss, walking at his familiar, even gait while he counts his steps, hands clasped behind his back, yellow eyes intently studying everything around him. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry, though, so perhaps engaging him isn't a problem.]

For as long as he had watched over humanity, Alcor had wondered about one minor thing in particular- swimming. He understood the mechanical benefits, the reasons and the hard parts of it, but it had never really...made sense to him the fun value of it. Here he was, hovering over the chemically-tinted water, waiting for it to somehow explain to him how this was enjoyable. He hadn't even realized someone was under the surface when he began to touch down, releasing his hover and...

Promptly sinking like a rock to the bottom of the pool.

To say Alcor was confused would be an understatement; he'd not bothered to paddle, sure, but this was a new experience. He flew and moved about in space and the gravity of earth, so why was this so different? The water simply couldn't keep him up with how dense he was, it seemed.

It wasn't like the star could drowned, so he was a bit leisurely with pushing himself up and once again trying to use his magic to hover...in the water. It took a different amount of force, and a lot more blue glowing nonsense to get up, at which point he slowly made his way back up to the surface.

manual swimming is for wusses

[Ken wanders along the stacks of the library, looking for the section he's interested in. Since the history section is gone, he'll have to see if he can find what he needs in another section.]

[He manages to find a few books in the technology and arts sections that are relevant - there's a couple of books on metalworking and the technology of weapons. He needs to see if he can figure out how to make a better spear - or how to ask someone else how to make one for him.]

[But as he heads over to find a table, he spots Xehanort. He sets his books down and stares for a few moments, trying to decide if he should say hello or not. He looks like he's concentrating very hard.]

[Floor 14] Because I can't resist the call of the Mii.

[Ryoji is feeling particularly down today, so he has decided to return to the Arisato sibling staple - music. ... He wants to stay away from the music room for a while, though, so he heads to the fourteenth floor to find something to listen to.]

[He pokes around for a bit, trying to decide what he's in the mood to listen to. His voice is quiet as he seems to be almost talking to himself.]

Thanatos, you don't have music that you like in particular, right?

[There's a pause.]

I guess that was a strange question to ask...
miseris_socios: (innocent look~)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2012-05-19 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods a little, and heads closer.]

Hello. What are you reading?

[... Those symbols are all squiggly and he doesn't understand them.]
thanabro: (huh?)

[personal profile] thanabro 2012-05-19 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks up quickly, a little startled. He hadn't noticed the man in the corner.]

Oh... yeah. It's just that I'm looking for some calming music... and I don't recognize some of these bands.
miseris_socios: (adult face)

[He takes the hint and sits down.]

Huh. What sort of meaning and knowledge? Or is that something no one knows yet?
thanabro: (whee~!)

[personal profile] thanabro 2012-05-20 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Probably.

[He flips through the selections for a few more moments before looking up again.]

I'm Ryoji. What's your name?
notontheflowers: (you don't get it do you?)

Seven!!

[Reno's a Turk, and he grew up in a seaport as well as having recently swum a few miles in an ocean while bleeding. A pool.. is a wonderfully nice change of pace. He's never cared about the old or new scars that litter his body, though the newer are a bit stranger. Perfect spirals and what look like where something burrowed through him at some point.

He doesn't say much, but is definitely making sure that Xehanort doesn't do something completely stupid.]

[There's a scientist there, drumming his own fingers: first against the wall, and then against the leg of his trousers. He has a case of vials with him, and without looking at Xenahort, he begins to take a scraping from the wall.

Not that he finds this room particularly interesting, but he's been taking at least one sample from each floor, for research purposes.]
denigrator: (I plege my allegiance)

[personal profile] denigrator 2012-05-20 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
In particular? Ah, no, not at all. I'm cataloging all the floors for analysis. I'll need to do more research before looking for anything in particular.

[He hasn't formed any solid hypotheses about the tower yet.]
notontheflowers: (You're some kinda special there)

[personal profile] notontheflowers 2012-05-20 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a bit of a chuckle.]

Better than the last time I had one anyway. Cure spells only do so much even at a high level.

[nobody evr claimed he had a heartwarming sense of humor.]

There any toe nibblers down there?

[On the outside stair cases circling round the tower Taiki came across Xehanort. He pressed himself to the side of the tower, not quite looking at the man, more nightmares had taken their toll making Taiki even more nervous and awkward as usual.] Sorry

[A small nervous child might not be very interesting, but Xehanort can probably sense the fact that he is a being of pure light.]

...after the various and sundry horrors of the tower that she's both seen and been told about, coming upon a seemingly empty room is still quite a jarring event. Tara has passed through this floor a couple of times already, but almost always at a fast walk or a run. There's something about it she doesn't like.

So finding Xehanort here is unexpected, and she stops at the base of the stairs, staring at him for several seconds. The fact that he looks to her to be searching for a secret door, much like she had on her first day, advances the possibility that he's not actually an outright threat.

"...w-what are you looking for?"
thanabro: (thank you)

[personal profile] thanabro 2012-05-20 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
It's good to meet you, too.

[... Now he's curious, though. Video games were always fun, so he finds a spot with some music players closer to Xehanort and keeps an eye on what he's playing. He hasn't checked out all the games here, and he never really had much money to buy his own games, so he wants to know what all the games here are like.]
miseris_socios: (i've opened up the door)

[Insert a brief explanation of Japanese here because I know I suck at Japanese.]

I guess I never really thought of words having that much information in them. There's a lot of people who talk and talk and never actually say anything.

[As Xehanort dives, he would notice in the distance that he wasn't quite alone to begin with. Inside the water and far in front of him, something like a black and white torpedo is moving around the water, releasing a jet of foam behind him. His fond roommate has taken to swimming long before the old man came. As Monobear notices Xehanort, he gives a wave and with a clear voice, uninhibited by... well, being underwater... he says...]

Good morning, you bastard!

[Did I mention he's wearing a bikini?]
