03-17:
['Come, let us go to the next Hinamizawa' was the last thing Satoko remembered before she woke up. Her eyes opened wide so sudden as she laid still on the bed. Her panicked face stayed hidden towards the wall. Slowly her hand reached up towards her forehead with a gentle touch before she drew her hand close to her. No blood and no wound. Was she alive? Was it then all just a dream?

The child quickly sprung herself upright and turned her head behind her, expected someone to be by her side. In the end, there was no one. Satoko studied the room as she scanned it.]

Rika! ...Rika?

[Her friend wasn't here, except the four beds? Something was wrong. Satoko rubbed her sleepy eye before she could stare down. What was she wearing? There was a piece of paper in reach. Satoko grabbed it and begun to read it to herself. After the letter was read, Satoko curled back to her bed to face the wall again. There's a couple muffles.]

Rika... I'm sorry.

Floor 6:
[After Satoko changed clothes, it was time to explore the tower. It was called, Operation: Study the enemy's location. One of the stops, she came to a large forest in a room? Satoko stared up and around the room disbelieved.]

Now, how did they fit something like this here?

[Satoko asked herself. Not that she was complaining, more like it was nice of the enemy to put a forest this big into the tower. Satoko rested her chin between her thumb and index finger.]

Although, I suppose I should thank them.

Floor 1/Cafeteria:
[Now it was time for some grub. Studying your enemies can grow an appetite. Before Satoko could step into the cafeteria, her body came to a halt when her nose caught that disgusting aroma, pumpkin. Terror grew on the child's face as she pinched her nose.]

That smell...

[Satoko stuck out her tongue. She marched forward praying the cafeteria had something besides this aroma. If this was the enemy's attack, they did a damn good job.]

floor 6

[blackwitch]

[ Wow, Satoko, did fairytales never teach you that there are always witches in forests? Since there's one right here, sitting on the branch of a tree with a grin and staring down at you. ]

Thank them..? [ don't even try to put up an innocent act, evatrice, it's obvious.. ] What for?

[waiting4niinii]

[flsdjf Evatrice get out! But not really... The letter left out minor details obviously. They didn't bother giving her a handbook. Satoko looks up following the voice.]

I suppose to give me something to look at. Staying inside isn't healthy for kids like me. [Have a stare.] How did you get up there wearing that?

[blackwitch]

[ Sorry, she's here to stay!! But she's just still sitting there and grinning, if anything, she almost seems like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.. except that she's nothing like a cat. ]

Magic! [ She says it as if it's natural - in fact, she seems rather proud as she says it. ]

[waiting4niinii]

Magic? [Yep, questioning about it.]

Floor 6

[myblueskies]

You got to be careful! [A boy just a little bit older than Satoko, wearing a costume complete with hat came down the stairs behind her.]

The animals in there are a bit mean!

[waiting4niinii]

[OMG boy what are you wearing?! It would scare the kids away. So you get a long stare.]

What is that you wearing?

[myblueskies]

[Romeo blinked] It's a Superhero costume! I'm Princess Powerful!

cafeteria

[worldend_dominator]

Is there something wrong with the smell?

[Rosa found the smell of the pumpkins overwhelming, but at least it was better than the smell of oatmeal.]

[waiting4niinii]

[Adult alert! Satoko smiles.]

Nothing ma'am, I felt a tickle up my nose.

[worldend_dominator]

Ah.

[She frowns a little.]

Are you possibly coming down with a cold, then?

[A contagious disease in such a small area would be disastrous.]

floor 6

[justiceerror]

...And just what are you thanking them for?

[Battler walked up behind the girl, his hands in his pockets as he glanced around at the scenery as well.]

trolls of umineko ;;

[waiting4niinii]

[Way to startle her Battler. She jumped before she could turn around.]

For... Setting up a forest inside the place. Indoors can be quite boring.

the best 8D

[justiceerror]

I agree I agree.... a lot of things can be quite boring. Changing the scenery is indeed an improvement.

floor 6;

[titties]

Heh, it's nice to have some fresh air, isn't it? It's way too stuffy being stuck in those other rooms all day.

[waiting4niinii]

[Satoko turns towards Battler smiling.]

No kidding. It's not healthy. How did they fit in the tower anyway?

[titties]

The only answer to that is that this tower is really, re~ally huge!

cafeteria

[wittlich]

[oops have Bern in that catwoman suit she really fucking wants to never see again but this is the Tower lol.

At least it let her take the mask off. So hi, Satoko, have someone who looks like Rika except a lot older. Wearing a catwoman suit.]

You never did like pumpkins.

cafeteria

[waiting4niinii]

[If its leather A+ Bern! Your lolita figure upgraded. Have a long stare Bern.]

...Rika?

[wittlich]

Wrong.

[Head-tilt.] Though, she is here, if you wish to find her.

Cafeteria

[lonemajin]

[ Someone off in the shadows mumbles something in Satoko's direction. ]

Don't bother looking for anything better. That craps all they've got.

Cafeteria

[waiting4niinii]

[Thank goodness the shadows can hide those wings. Etna's voice does catch her attention. Already the girl is making a disgusting face.]

This is torture.

[lonemajin]

Tell me about it! Not a candy bar, cake, or even a measly piece of gum to be found. A woman can't live off this crap.

Floor 1 laaaaaaate

[badend_replay]

[ Rika wanted to find something to eat. Why else would she be in the cafeteria? Cooking seemed to be the ideal way to distract herself from the troublesome situation at hand. Four years had passed now since Rika left Hinamizawa. It still crossed her mind on a near daily basis that she had grown old and left her dear friends behind.

She still thought of those friends every day, burning the image of their faces and sound of their voice in her mind. Occasionally she'd see them in Mayfield, but never for long... and never Satoko.

So Satoko's voice almost went unnoticed by Rika. It's been years since she heard her best friend's pure tone and the memories she replays are beginning to rust and fade. She almost did not noticed the small figure, the blonde hair, those oddly coloured eyes...

... but then it struck her. Recognition. Satoko. Rika actually stumbles back from surprise, eyes wide. Face paling. This can't be. Not here, not now. Not in a place where Rika cannot promise her friend's safety! ]

Sah...

[ Her throat is immediately dry. She swallows before trying to continue. ]

... Satoko. Satoko! [ And walking. Slowly at first, then faster, towards Satoko. Beware of hugs. ]

D: So laaaaaaate Now for your punishment! A flick to the forehead!

[waiting4niinii]

[Satoko paused when she heard her name called. That voice, why was it familiar yet not? Just as she met Bern earlier, there was another person who shared the same resemblance, just like Rika. And this one was about to run her over.

Somehow this one tickled the girl's mind. The way this person called out to her. It couldn't be...]

Ri-Rika?!

[Did Satoko just got hit by a truck? This hug, it hurts of love.]

mii--!

[badend_replay]

[ Rika is careful to hug Satoko from behind. To give her no chance to see the conflicting emotions on her face. It really is Satoko... the girl who Rika lived with. Trusted. Wanted to protect. Her best friend.

It feels strange to hug her now. Rika is taller. Not much, but still enough to recognize a different. She's older now. Sixteen years old, while Satoko remains unchanged. That's something she can't just smile off. She can't just get around her new age without filling Satoko in... ]

Satoko.... mi. It is. Rika Furude! [ She is struggling to keep a grip on herself as she says this. Loosening the hug and breathing in. Then smiling. ] ... It has been a while!
