Never sail with a Rivaini pirate, especially one who's been landlocked for a decade or so. That was the first thought that sloshed through Rowen Hawke's throbbing head as he swam up from the depths of unconsciousness. The second was, after he'd made a deal with his eyelids to stay open long enough for him to check his surroundings, ...this isn't Isabela's ship.

He'd come to in a strange bed about an hour ago, tentatively rolling out of it and on his guard, waiting for the Templar bastards to leap out of hiding and attack, but when none had, natural curiosity had taken over. Discovering the note, which only puzzled him more, and the trunk at the foot of that bed, he'd quickly retrieved his much-familiar staff and, seeing little more in the room to pique his curiosity - given that the entire place was black as pitch and only by keeping a small fireball bouncing on his hand could he see a damned thing - the mage had ventured out and about, a bit worried, nonplussed, and absolutely confused as to what the hell had happened to bring him from the Waking Sea to this strange place.

So far, he'd deduced this was some sort of Tower, which immediately put him on the defensive, but still, no Templars had materialized out of the shadows, nor had he encountered any other mages who also might be trapped here. Nevertheless, Hawke was by no means inexperienced, thus he moved quickly and quietly, only producing light when he was satisfied nothing waited beyond to carve out his guts and every noise had him tensing, hand on staff.

And then there was the problem of the bloody collar around his neck! Try as he might, Hawke was unable to find a fastening or latch, and the blasted thing refused to cooperate with his best efforts. He grumbled foul curses under his breath, but pressed on, determined to get some answers...somewhere.

"Oh I don't think anyone actually believes the world ending stuff," Vivi answered, shrugging again. "But the Tower is very real, and it's not safe here."

Scratching his head, he added, "Some floors of the Tower have weird monsters... and some of the other people are pretty dangerous. Mostly we try to get along though."

Vivi blinked slowly. "Well, I can take care of myself."

His stomach grumbled, and he laughed sheepishly. "And I was hungry. So I was going to try to find food."

"I'd like that," he answered, eyes crinkling to show his smile. He began to waddle slowly in the direction of the Cafeteria. "You'll have to eat oatmeal - all the newcomers do." Shuddering he added, "I tried to eat something else when I first arrived and I got sick."

Shrugging, Vivi plodded down the stairs. "I don't know about that... Normally there would be, but that's when there's food in the Cafeteria. Ever since the Tower shut down there haven't been any served meals or anything..."

"At this rate I might have to try my luck against some of the animal monsters and cook them."
