Hacking #01: Intro

[technologic]

Characters: April and anyone
Setting: Starting in room 1-15 and then in different areas in the tower.
Format: Brackets, but I can match you!
Summary: One technopath arrives in the tower and is very unhappy about the message, before she sets off exploring.
Warnings: Possibly high levels of derp.

[Room 1-15]
[... This had to be a joke. There was no way her home was destroyed. It had to be a lie, it had to be. She frowns at the letter she recieved, proceeding to tear it up when she could move again.]

Ugh... What the hell is all this...? [She reaches up to tug at the collar around her neck and frowns at her current outfit. Once she finds the trunk containing her things, she goes to get changed into her usual clothes.]

[Hallways]
[Having now gotten changed and wearing a trenchcoat way too big for her, April proceeds to set off exploring, though she is a bit unamused at the lights flickering.]

Hey, can't you stay on? [She glances up at them, her eyes taking on a odd pale green glow, while the lights flicker again, as if in reply. The lights seem to try to stay on for a few moments, before they pitifully flicker out. The red-head sighs quietly, the glow from her eyes fading.]

... Well, at least you tried...

[Floor Twenty-Five: Meadow]
[Having stumbled across the meadow floor, April just stares at it in shock. Having come from a wasteland, seeing this much greenery, or any at all, is something completely new to her.]

N-no way... [She hesitantly crouches down to gently touch one of the flowers, almost in disbelief.] T-they're real...

[Floor Three: Library]
[With a small ball of electricity acting as a light, April browses the aisles of the library, looking rather amazed at seeing so many books. She occasionally pulls out a random one to skim through it, before continuing having a look.]

Nothing on history then? Kinda disappointing...

Comments

[thanabro]

All right then. April it is.

[technologic]

[A smile and a nod.] Thank you.

... How long have you been here, Ryoji?

[thanabro]

Ah... about two months or so? That sounds about right...

[technologic]

T-Two months? Wow, that seems like a while to be stuck here...

[thanabro]

There's some people that have been stuck here for a lot longer.

[technologic]

Huh, s-seriously? ... What's the longest you've heard?

[thanabro]

I don't know specifically... but... maybe five months? I'm not sure. Probably longer than that, even.

[technologic]

That's... certainly a long time to be stuck here. [A quiet sigh.] And there's no sign of a way to get out of here?

[thanabro]

Not that I've seen, no.

[technologic]

[She sighs and grumbles to herself, reluctantly nodding.] ... Well, they can't keep us here forever, at least. Guess for now I should focus on familiarizing myself with this place.

[thanabro]

If you'd like help finding things, I'll be happy to help.

[technologic]

Eh? Are you sure?

[thanabro]

Of course. I'm always willing to help - especially for such a beautiful lady.

[technologic]

[Yep, she's blushing again and she fidgets with her hands as she gives him a nod.]

I-I-I'm not exactly 'b-beautiful', but, u-um, thank you...

[thanabro]

You're welcome. Is there anything in particular you want to find now?

[technologic]

Hmm... If there's a place like this in the tower, is there a place where you can find animals?

[thanabro]

Animals... floor six has a forest, but the animals there are... strange and nasty. Floor thirty two has another forest, but powers won't work there.

[technologic]

... I think I'll try my luck with the nasty animals. I'm kinda used to animals like that anyway.

[thanabro]

Yeah... about that... they're not just nasty because of teeth. If you get too close they cancel out your powers too.

[As he found out in a hilariously bad attempt to catch one.]

[technologic]

[WELP.] Oh...

... Would guns work on them?

[thanabro]

I think so. As long as they don't run on magic or something, it seems like they should.
