Characters: Kyuubey and YOU.
Setting: Everywhere.
Format: Wevs is good!
Summary: A small, adorable creature wakes up in the tower of souls and decides to go exploring~. Nothing could possibly go wrong in this situation.
Warnings: Possible Inevitable spoilers for Madoka Magica.

[First scenario: in room 1-13] The immobility? That wasn't really a big deal. The strange bed? Nope. Comfy, kinda. It could have done with some more cushions, but that was personal taste and easily dismissed. Kyuubey sat up and stretched the moment it sensed a response from its body, and looked around with a few quick turns of its fluffy head. Its tail lashed back and forth absently, and it just. Sat there. Unblinking, thoughtful. It didn't need to check the trunk, and it had seen the note from the bed. Rescued, huh? Is this what the new universe looked like, or was this some remnant of the old one? Did it still have a job to do? Hmm, it sure was a puzzler! About two hours later, it scrambled to its feet and darted out of the door.

[Second scenario: in the tower] A white flash darted to and fro, slipping between shadows and stone, red eyes flashing out at anything noteworthy. When it spotted someone promising, it would run out, slower, easier to see, and either accidentally wind up in their path, or just pattering alongside them with little cat-like steps for a couple of metres. Testing, observing.

Comments

Second option!

[pengeen]

[Kidou was just walking by when a cat...thing decided to follow him. What a strange little creature...

He stops walking and crouches down to stare at Kyuubey.]

What are you, little guy? [He hesitantly reaches out to pet Kyuubey, to see if it was hostile or not.]

[vertrag]

[ It stops when he does, then half-sits up to push its head into the palm of the boy's hand to encourage him. It's soft! ]

I'm Kyuubey!

[Second]

[withak]

[There was a cat in the tower, how cute.

Well. Close enough to a cat. And Katusya's allergies weren't acting up just yet, so he thought it might be safe enough to kneel down to get a better look at it.]

I haven't seen an animal like you before.

[vertrag]

[ Oh wow y'all are really friendly. ] That's 'cause I'm not an animal, of course! I'm Kyuubey.

2nd scenario

[boxingemperor]

[Akihiko jogs down the hallway as part of his exercise routine, coming to a stop to check his pulse when he starts to tire. He's not particularly looking in any specific direction, so he doesn't notice right away that there might be something close by during his stop.]

[vertrag]

[ This place sure is full of interesting people! Kyuubey, not quite visible, scampers in front of the guy to get a better look. ]

[second]

[gloomyapoplectic]

[Kanaya has both bad judgment and very good survival instincts. Sometimes they clash, like when she used to deal with Jack Noir. Sometimes she has to pick which one to listen to.

Fortunately, bad judgment doesn't factor into being followed! That is straight-up survival instinct. As soon as another presence starts shadowing her steps, she turns to face it.

Oh, in addition to bad judgment and good survival instincts, she also has a chainsaw. This is not a very good combination of things.

She holds the weapon at the ready, but doesn't rev it. Eventually she finds the other being in the vicinity.

...squiiiiint.]

Hello?

[vertrag]

[ Whoops, the jig is up. Kyuubey casually steps out into plain sight, as is polite. ] Hey there!

Room 1-13

[stalemates]

[Lambda opens the door to her shared room, thinking to root in her trunk for some more candy, when she notices Kyuubey sitting there.]

Ooh! I love cats, come here, kitty~☆

[vertrag]

Me? [ It does, however, jump off its bed to run over. ]

2nd scenario

[beknightedheroine]

Her footfalls are heavy and echo dreadfully - it's hard not to step with such dramatic poignancy, when the signs of destruction are still all around. The higher the floor, the more was wrecked - though the dorms were pristine, save for the key missing component of, y'know, everyone's things.

Was that a blip of red? Bright red, like someone's eyes caught by a camera at a wrong angle. Sayaka stops in her tracks, and rubs at the corners of her vision. She still felt as worn down as the tower looked, days later. She was probably just seeing things...

[vertrag]

Probably your imagination, Sayaka! After all, you're meant to be dead.

Then again, so is the universe, so today's just full of surprises. For a brief, potentially unwise second, Kyuubey stops to regard her with bright, unblinking eyes. It doesn't feel surprise, but the influx of thoughts and possibilities emulate its paralysing effects well enough.

[dorm floor 1]

[faithstaynight]

[Let it be known that it's incredibly hard to sneak up on a Servant! At the light pitter-patter of feet, she tenses, violet eyes darting about for the source. She looks down, and--

... huh...] What a strange creature...

[It looks harmless, but she doesn't relax just yet. It could be a monster that she just hasn't seen yet....]

[vertrag]

[ oh huh that's a face it hasn't seen in a while. ] Long time no see, Jeanne!

2

[heartfeltfancy]

[It doesn't even phase her at this point. Nothing can shock her more than what she'd already been through. So seeing the face of that monster

. . .

only makes her feel empty inside, a strange hollow feeling. She doesn't freak out, she doesn't try to run away when she sees him skittering about.

She waits.]

[vertrag]

[ Oh, check it out. The girl who unmade the universe. Or a version of her. Who's keeping track any more, honestly. ] Congratulations, Madoka!

OPTION TWO - Library? Because always the freaking library with Yuri.

[cure_moonlight]

Yuri had been understandably jumpy since the whale, and the monsters, and nearly a week of sitting on edge and fighting. She'd needed to do some busy work in order to calm her nerves, so once again she found herself in the library.

Some areas were still a bit of a mess from all the shaking and the chaos in general, so she was simply... helping to tidy up. It wasn't necessary, and it wasn't her job. But it kept her with something to do for a little while, at least.

Then she noticed something darting around. Something not human.

Instinctively she was on guard, her transformation device gripped firmly in her palm as she spun, trying to seek out the source.

library it is!

[vertrag]

Definitely not human. The white shape ran up a bookshelf, coming to settle on a row level with Yuri's chest, and considered her.

"Did I scare you?"

the tower

[notsoquiet]

[ Haruna was in the infirmary, looking for bandages when a white cat-like creature approached her. And her thought? So cute!

... Err, but nothing in Tower is safe is it. Before anything, she should check if it can speak. It has a collar on, so the chances were pretty high. ]

Hello, little guy. Are you out on a stroll?

[vertrag]

I'm exploring! [ Yep. ]

2

[extraordinarily]

[When she sees the flash, Haruhi takes a quick step back in surprise. She honestly didn't expect that. But the mere fact that Haruhi is part of the 'promising' category (with her innate supernatural ability and all), but if Kyuubey stops, she'll definitely notice that he's not an ordinary animal.]

Are you some sort of alien?

[Her eyes are lighting up, Kyuubey.]

[vertrag]

[ Haruhi is less 'promising' and more 'if only Kyuubey was capable of feeling awe' but she definitely gets it to stop in its tracks. ]

You could say that!

Second! Let's start it with an elevator ride? ^^

[warriorscribe]

It was a simple trip to the meadow floor. Even with everything in ruins, it seemed to hold the promise of peace the most - ruined, but the calm after the disaster, earth that would persevere and regrow.

The only problem, he'd found, was that the morgue floor immediately above it was rather unsettling torn up as it was, and he'd rather take the shorter route from the twenty-first floor even though the restaurant still gave him chills, knowing what it could and would do, all for the sake of a meal that was perhaps more familiar, or could include alcohol.

No matter. It was in ruins, too. Just another floor of the tower. Even if it made him angrier than he liked, or uncomfortable, better that than the pieces of corpses all over the twenty-sixth going the other way. So he stepped into the elevator, and was surprised at the sudden movement of something small and white rushing in behind him.

He looked down at the strange creature - a collar? So it was a resident, whatever it was. Did it talk? It looked...somewhat similar to the cheagle he'd helped that young man name.

"Hello..."

Oh boy!

[vertrag]

Apparently occupied getting its fur and tail sorted out after its mad rush to catch the elevator, it was a few seconds before Kyuubey settled down and looked up at his travel companion.

"Hullo."

option 2

[eternallily]

[Saki's wandering what's left of the halls. Too much magic, and the consequences always the same. She'd revived, but she was avoiding people, simply walking for now. Her hairpin caught the light now and then, where there was light, but she was mostly avoiding that too.]

[vertrag]

[ At least she's not alone in the shadows, followed as she is by the patter of little paws. ]

[argoncharybdis]

[Nepeta finally took the time to explore a bit of this Tower. Now that things were somewhat back to "normal", she figured now would be an opportune time! For the most part, things were just weird. Nothing seemed to make much sense, what with things still coming back together and all. One thing that did catch her eye though was a wisp of white flashing by her along the floors.]

Hmm?

[There it was again! This made her curious, enough to stop her little venture and actually take a good look around.]

Come out, come out wherever you are!

[vertrag]

[ Huh, another of the grey-skinned lifeforms. ] Well done for spotting me!

[ second option! ]

[immortalia]

[ Sertoria's walking across the floor, looking for materials here and there that she could use for a project of some kind when she hears a sound thanks to her acute hearing.

She drops what she's doing and only brings out the hilt of her sword for now. ]

... Show yourself, life form.

[vertrag]

[ It emerges easily enough, trotting over with the utmost lack of concern for the partly-drawn sword. ] Is there a reason that you were made to look human?

Second option! Late, but I couldn't resist.

[oforder]

[ Maybe Kyuubey would come across something gold, shiny, and with a glowing, green cube floating in between two rotating rings. Sitting near it is a man in a futuristic business suit, staring into it as if in a trance. Someone like Kyuubey can likely tell that he most definitely isn't human, as well. ]

\o\

[vertrag]

[ And someone like Kyuubey can tell enough about the device that it stops in its tracks to stare into its depths. ] Is that...

Tower; And late as always, Eq

[verismo]

...hm?

[He blinked. Last he checked, there wasn't any cats in the tower, let alone a white one. Of course, he's pretty sure that a cat doesn't have those kind of ears, and neither do they have scarlet orbs for their eyes. A human reaction upon seeing such a strange creature would be to be wary of it. Though Kyousuke isn't... exactly the brightest in terms of thinking.]

Are you lost?

[He's bending down to get a closer look.]

dw dw

[vertrag]

You could say that. [ sits up on its hind paws! ] Kyousuke, right?

Da Tower

[alienstookmyburgers]

[ Spending some timing getting to know the area didn't seem like a bad idea to him. Especially if there was no way out, he'd have to just get used to it.

Of course, he didn't expect anyone to be tagging along, so hearing a second set of light foot-steps catching him slightly off guard, he turns around, looking straight forward, but seeing nothing there. ]

A-a ghost?

o7 well hi there

[vertrag]

Not at all. [ says the tiny white figure at your feet, who definitely wasn't there a second ago. ]

Option 2

[thornythaumaturge]

Hello there. [[It was pretty hard to sneak up on Rose, and she definitely wasn't going to be surprised by a little white creature crossing her path. Animals are one of her favorite things, so she's really more than happy to see it.]]

Aren't you cute? [[You don't mind if she crouches down to try and pet you maybe, do you Kyuubey?]]

[vertrag]

[ not at all~ It sits up on its hind legs to lean into her pettins. ] Hullo!
