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

And Word of Mod gets us off to a -great- start. Glad I asked them about the elevators.

[warriorscribe]

So it did talk. Enoch opened his mouth to ask what it was, but the elevator lurched to a shaky start. He braced himself against the wall, instantly tense as it creaked and groaned, rattling its way down the shaft.

If the man's widened eyes and sudden silence in the wake of their greetings were any indication, the elevator was obviously not usually like this.

I'm scared to ask...

[vertrag]

The shaking caused Kyuubey to wobble and topple over, and instead of standing back up it just rolled over so it could keep looking at Enoch.

"This could be a problem, huh?"

They'll feel and sound unsafe but won't actually break or fall

[warriorscribe]

"That it could..." Enoch looked down at the strange creature, seemingly so calm.

"...I could survive the impact if it falls because of my armor. Would you feel safer if I carried you?"

[vertrag]

Oh, it had forgotten the panic. It was too late to add it now, but at least Kyuubey managed to colour its voice with a hint of nervousness as it scrambled to its feet and nodded. "Please."

Sorry for the slowness lately.

[warriorscribe]

Bracing himself against the wall, Enoch carefully crouched and reached out to pick up the little thing, staying low for stability.

"I've never seen a being like you before," he said, trying to break the nervousness - he'd said it himself - even if it falls, his armor always guaranteed him survival at least once. It didn't help matters that he wasn't used to starting conversations with strangers anymore. Being an immortal among mortals has a tendency to do that.

I'm normally glacial so it's totally alright <3

[vertrag]

On the flipside, Kyuubey was practically engineered to make conversation with young human girls, so this was a little outside of its experience range. Nevertheless, it curled up in Enoch's grip.

"I'm not surprised. I don't usually talk to adults!"

[warriorscribe]

"So you usually speak with children, then? But not their parents...?"

That seemed a little strange. At least Kyuubey had him curious! And it was doing a pretty decent job as a distraction from the rather unsettling elevator ride.

[vertrag]

"Adult humans don't believe in creatures like fairies," it nods, unconcerned by the question. "They usually can't even see me."

[warriorscribe]

"Only those that believe in your kind can see you?"

The elevator finally came to a halt - at least he wasn't going down to the first floor. Enoch loosened his arms to let Kyuubey jump free. Wouldn't do to treat a sentient being just like a cat, after all.
