First Arcana: The Awakening
Characters: Yuko and whoever runs into her
Setting: Starting at 2-15, then exploring the first block.
Format: Action, unless you'd rather prose it up
Summary: Yuko wakes up in a strange place with no idea how she got here, because apparently it was her turn to do that this time.
Warnings: None to start, added as they come.
2-15/Dorm hallway
[This was some kind of mistake. Yuko couldn't just take some cut and pasted note essentially saying, hi, the world is gone, enjoy your stay, at face value. She wouldn't have slept through that, at least not in such a way that she would have, y'know, survived. Her first instinct, after crumpling the letter and tossing it aside, was to find answers.
The first place she opted to look? The halls of the dorm levels, checking all four for whatever information she could find, whether from her fellow captives or otherwise.]
Floor 3
[Beyond the dormitories, themselves lit about as well as a typical survival horror game, the power was dead, and light was at an absolute premium, so after the first floor, she had backtracked to the elevator, using the MP3 player Yosuke had given her as an impromptu flashlight. The presence of a library immediately caught her interest - if there was anything to be learned about this place, logic said she'd find it here. As she scans the backlight of the portable music player across the shelves, however, her hope visibly gives way to disappointment.]
Floor 6
[For every question that was left unanswered by the first five levels of the tower, several more were promptly raised by the sixth. There was no sign from the fourth floor windows that this was remotely possible, and Yuko could think of only one place that would so defy geometry, to say nothing of the fog outside... but even that was impossible. They'd purified that place, and this one, pun not intended, was wrong on far more levels. The least of those, perhaps, was how friendly the various woodland creatures appeared not to be. She'd give a token look around, but it seemed best not to linger.]
Floor 10
[It was like standing in the middle of the ocean. If she'd seen something like this anywhere else, she'd be in awe of its beauty. All sorts of marine life floated through the gravity-defying waters. Some, Yuko recognized, some was impossibly alien. For a little while, she pauses her search, simply to admire her surroundings. Wherever she was, this place fascinated her.]

Floor 10! /latest
Though when he sees someone else wandering through, he has to come see! And also issue a warning if it's someone new... one of the fish with the pointier teeth has been jumping between waters, snapping at things today. ]
Hello there!
[ And oh, it's a girl~ A pretty girl, in fact, so Ryoji is sure to keep right on smiling. ]
There are a lot of pretty fish in this sea, but none seem quite as lovely as you~. But I hope you'll be careful - some of the fish here bite a lot more than they're supposed to!
Never too late :3
It'll be fine. I've handled some pretty big fish before.
[And since she can do flirty with the best of them, she approaches, sashaying forward like a perfect tease.]
But I do appreciate the bait you're laying out. Makes me almost sorry to tell you I've already been hooked~.

[ Even rejected from the start, he remains undaunted in his cheer! He'll be sad if you tell him his scarf is tacky, though. He holds out a hand to her. ]
My name's Ryoji Mochizuki.
no subject
[She accepts, gripping it in a solid, firm handshake. She gets the sense that he'd be the type to turn it around and plant a kiss on her hand if she didn't.]
Yuko Narukami. It's a pleasure.
no subject
It's great to meet you, Yuko-chan! [ And she isn't about to stop him trying this bold, flirtatious tactic! ] I bet we'll all need to help each other out here.
no subject
[No reaction on hearing her name was a refreshing break from what seemed like it'd become the usual, although if he didn't know it, it was possible he hadn't been around long enough to run into her "other self."]
From what I've heard, I'm sure we will. Have you been here long?
no subject
{ And then he tilts his head a bit in thought. ] Hmm. It's a little hard to tell time here, but I guess I've been here a few days... maybe a week?
no subject
What about you? Learned anything that can help us find a way out of this mess?
no subject
I'm afraid I haven't learned too much so far about getting out, but I have started to learn my way around the tower! Some of the floors are really weird, but others are really cool, like this one.
no subject
Do you know how high it goes? I haven't gone any further up than this. I'm trying not to until the power's back on and I have a better idea of how safe it is.
no subject
And I don't know how high it is, either. Pretty high, I bet, since we can't see the ground from any windows, and I've never found a way up to the roof!
However I have explored the floors above this one. The one right above this one is really cool! It's open to the outside, and there are flowers on the ceiling and there are lots of pretty waterfalls too. And if you go up four floors from here, there's a sort of lounge, though the TVs don't really work right now...
