☆ 001 : DEBUT ☆ "Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today."
Characters: Rise (idol_support) and YOU! :D
Setting: Starting in Room 2-01, then WHEREVER SHE HAS TO GO TO FIND HER FRIENDS, K (i.e. feel free to choose if you'd like!); morning of the 12th
Format: Posting with prosebecause I can't help it, sob; no preference for the comments, I will happily follow your lead!
Summary: Rise wakes up (in her Halloween costume, lol) and goes lookin' fortrouble her peeps!
Warnings: Uh...the usual Intro Post Semi-Ramble, and possible spoilers for the True End of Persona 4 (...does that even count any more...), but otherwise nothing so far!
It could have been worse. Waking up in a strange place and then experiencing a short period of sleep paralysis were far from Rise's idea of fun, but while it had been a little scary, she wasn't the type to let something like that get her down or frighten her into inaction; not any more. After all, she'd experienced things tons scarier than that since she'd moved to Inaba and gotten her Persona--it wasn't like it was the end of the world or anything!
...The end of the world...a terrible concept, and one that was vividly real to her now, but also less terrifying at the same time, all things considered. She'd read that your world has been destroyed letter, yeah, sure, but it wasn't the first totally B.S. letter left by some huge creep that Rise had seen this year. Plus she'd received enough iffy fanmail during her career as an idol to know that people could write whatever the heck they wanted, but that didn't make any of it true. She would have to see for herself that the world was destroyed before she'd even begin to believe it! There was really just no way it could be destroyed--she and Senpai and all their friends (but especially Senpai) had just saved it.
More than likely this was the TV World, and some jerk had kidnapped her (ugh, again! That was twice in one year! Twice!) and dumped her here. At least, that's what she'd thought at first...but this place just didn't feel right somehow. Not that the TV World had, but that had been a different sort of Not Right. This was...this was...augh, she didn't even know what this was! It had to be somewhere kinda like the TV World, though, another place that existed outside (or was it more like inside?) of the Real World, because she could summon Kanzeon here with no problem. That had been the first thing she'd done, in fact; the ceiling had looked a little low to try it here, but she had no idea where she was or what to expect when she went through the room's solitary door, and "kinda cramped quarters" was still better than "totally dangerous open area". Anyways, she could always do a more intensive scan later on, when she had a better idea of where she was and what was going on.
What she'd found on doing that initial scan had both reassured and confused her, because ooh, some of her friends were close by! ...But wait, there were a looot of people here, and it looked like there were more--way more--Persona users than just the Investigation Team, whatever that meant... She didn't know anything about them, so Rise couldn't get a solid feel on how many, or exactly where they were, but there were definitely others like them here.
Still, that wasn't the most pressing thing on her mind just now, because in addition to this being a super-weird place...there was also the costume.
Rise hadn't wanted to stay here in this room any longer than it took Kanzeon to run a quick scan of the place and give her a general heads up, but she'd still stopped long enough to change...or she'd tried to, anyway. The outfit she'd found herself wearing on waking up had to go.
It wasn't that she didn't look good in it, and she'd worn a lot less than that on national television, so it could've been way worse, but still! Whoever had kidnapped her this time was a real weirdo (and the idea that someone had changed her clothes while she was unconscious was creepy on a whole new level that Rise decided was best not to think about for now). Fortunately, among other things, she'd found some of her normal clothes in the storage trunk at the end of the bed (which, she'd been interested to note, Kanzeon's scan had designated a Treasure Chest). She'd felt a little unsure about changing when she didn't know whether or not there were any hidden cameras--an idol couldn't be too careful after all, even a former-but-hopefully-returning-to-showbiz-soon one--but she pushed that concern aside as well. Their school uniforms were essentially Full Battle Dress for the Investigation Team, and this place felt strange enough that Rise wanted that extra jolt of confidence from the familiar. That had led to a brief (and utterly hopeless) struggle with the weird collar around her neck (it fit snugly enough that she wasn't sure if she'd still be able to wear her usual white turtleneck), but no amount of tugging, pulling, or twisting could get it off, so she'd conceded defeat for now, and just left off wearing the turtleneck this time.
She'd had to concede defeat again just a few seconds later, when she found that the devil costume wouldn't come off, and then a third and final time when she tried wearing her uniform on top of the costume. It had been a little tricky, what with those wings and all, but she'd managed...only to find that somehow, when she'd briefly turned her attention back to the second (much longer) of those two letters she'd found on waking up, the devil costume had somehow ended up on top of her uniform. Which didn't make ANY sense, and looked a whole lot worse than just wearing the costume on its own had. Ugh! If that was how things were gonna be, then fine! She'd just wear the stupid costume already! She had more important things to worry about anyways--namely, finding her friends and figuring out what was going on here!
Getting the uniform off again was more of a struggle than getting it on had been, but she managed it eventually; by then, she was more than ready to get out of here.
"All right!" she said to herself--hearing the cheery sound of her own voice in her ears was oddly comforting. "Time to find everyone and figure this place out!"
Snatching up the two lettersand totally ignoring the plastic pumpkin and the attached note that had been sitting on her trunk, Rise headed out to face the Tower and (hopefully) find her friends.

Snatching up the two letters
no subject
Rei is already looking around for the elevator.
no subject
Luckily enough, they happen to be on Dormitory Floor One, so the elevator is right at the end of the hall.
"So...I guess you probably want to go to the cafeteria, then?"
no subject
Once they're at the elevator, Rei mashes the button several times before stopping and waiting for it to come.]
no subject
The elevator doors open, and as she steps on, Rise gestures to the panel of (decidedly limited) buttons.
"See?"
no subject
She reads the numbers off of the elevator.
"Dormitory Floor 1, Floor 1, Floor 21, Floor 41. Is there any reason for those floors?"
no subject
She gives an annoyed little huff, not at the question itself, but at the Tower Admins in general. "No reason that I can think of...except maybe to make it easier to keep us on certain floors. Or force us to take the stairs and slow us down for some reason."
no subject
Rei is swaying on the balls of her feet, busy speculating.
no subject
The elevator hums along, and soon arrives on Floor 21. Which turns out to be...a restaurant?
no subject
"Wow, I wonder what they serve he--"
Her eyes fall upon the sign.
"...Closed?"
no subject
"...Hmm, I think the stairway is this way..."
no subject
"Then, let's go see all the lower floors. There's at least twenty of them, right?"
no subject
Though even if she could, Rei's YOLO Powers would render it irrelevant, lol.All she can do is lead the way to the stairs and the other floors."Heh, yeah, unless they number their floors as strangely as they built their elevator. So...I wouldn't put it past them, really."
no subject
Unless going down every floor had a random number.
no subject
She can't think of any reason anyone would want to do that, other than to be jerks and seriously mess with people, but it's already been proven beyond any possible doubt that these people are jerks. HUGE ones. She really wouldn't put anything past them, regardless of how petty or pointless it seemed.
no subject
"Hey, maybe we should check. How about we renumber all of the floors if we find the people in charge gave them the wrong number?"
[1/2] Gonna do a time lapse here, if you don't mind. Unless you wanted to play out 20 floors. |D;
And down the stairs they go!
[2/2]
"And heeeeere we are! Floor One: the Cafeteria! Home of all things pumpkin this month!"
I don't mind time lapse!
"I hope it's sweet pumpkin!"
She turns to Risei.
"Are you tired? You should've said something. I would've carried you."
Re: I don't mind time lapse!
She gives Rei an oblique look as they enter the cafeteria proper, her smile smaller and not nearly as forced. "...And nope, thanks for the offer, but I'm not tired. Some of those floors were pretty awful, that's all."
no subject
"They don't limit how much you can get, right?"
She gives Rise a nod when she hears the other girl talk about the floors.
"I know. I actually had to shift form on floor nine. It was just so squished."
no subject
Seeing that shift had been startling, but nothing Rise couldn't handle. She starts to reply to Rei's comment, when she suddenly straightens, remembering something else more important.
"Oh! But you said you hadn't eaten anything here in the Tower yet, right? Well...for your first meal, you have to eat this bowl of plain oatmeal they give you. I dunno why, but if you don't eat that as your first meal, apparently you can't keep anything else you eat down, until you do eat the oatmeal."
no subject
She runs off to get her food before Rise can stop her.
LMAO OH GOD
Rise follows close behind, but...she's powerless to stop the other (much, much stronger) girl from grabbing whatever food she wants, and she knows it. Still, she has to try! Otherwise...
"Rei-chan, wouldn't it be better to be sure about something like this? It's just one meal, after all... Plus, Yu-senpai was the one who told me about this, and he's the person I trust most in the whole world! He wouldn't lie to me about something like this, not ever!"
She'll...just be grabbing that bowl of oatmeal Rei's no doubt ignoring and trailing along behind her.
Rei met Tohko Amano around this point in her own post, actually
"Ooh, I'll try some of this and some of this..."
She doesn't notice Rise with the oatmeal at all.
Well then, for continuity's sake...Rise will be a horrible person, lol.
Either way, Rise herself isn't at all hungry (not after Floor Seventeen), so she'll just...put the oatmeal back where she got it, and
ollie outleave Rei to discover this particular Tower quirk on her own. (...Well, not quite on her own, it looked like another girl was taking an interest in her already...) In any case, Rise still has her friends to find, and not doing that right now is putting her a little on edge.Sorry, Rei-chan. I'll check up on you later, she thinks, giving the blue-haired girl one last look before she slips out the cafeteria door.
