Room 1-16 / hallway

[As soon as Waver is able to move, he jumps up from the bed, desperately looking around. He's also sure to check his right hand, but as there's nothing there, he quickly sees the last few days of calm weren't anything like a dream.

After noticing the letters and reading them over twice, he sets them aside. What's written there can't possibly be true, nothing could destroy the entire world so suddenly. Knowing that is a relief, but, he's still trapped somewhere unfamiliar. He quickly finds his trunk and the contents, swapping that awful bodysuit for a good sensible set of clothes immediately. ...And, underneath those, a book. He bends down to pick it up and turns it over to read the title. The Iliad, that same new but worn out copy. After thinking on it for a moment, he goes back to his bed and sets it under the pillow. That's what Alexander was said to have done, after all, right?]


Floor 45

[An observatory, that's perfect! He can get a good look at what lies outside the tower, maybe even spot where there might be somewhere to get outside. He stands up against the window, placing his hands on it to steady himself as he tries to look out.

He sighs.]

Nothing but clouds, huh...that's useless...

[As he begins to look up again, he shouts, falling backwards and trying to scramble away from the creature which had been face-to-face with him. Even though he was only just pressed up against the glass himself, he's completely forgotten it's there between them and can only stare in horror at the thing staring straight back at him.]


Floor 19

[After exploring the tower, Waver returns to the library. He wants to get through as much as he can right away, but with the size of the library, and there being two, even he knows it will have to be done over a period of time, not all in one sitting. Even so, he goes down the aisles, scanning for anything that looks like like it might contain relevant information. Anything which might give a better understanding of the tower and its intents. If he's especially lucky - maybe a book on magic which he might use to escape.

Going between the rows of shelves with a pile of books in his arms, stacked up to his chin, which he rests on them to keep the precarious stack stead, suddenly he notices something. The section clearly marked 'history' is entirely empty - the section which was sure to be most useful to him. Several books from the top fall from his stack as he whips around to be sure it hasn't simply moved over to the next shelf, or that his eyes are otherwise playing tricks on him. And then he throws the others down, shaking his head and gripping his it with both hands.]

Aah, what the hell?! You're kidding me, right?! Hey, someone forgot to put the books away, you can't just leave a whole section empty...!


Floor 14

[Through the stress of the day, around the time that would be called 'after dinner', Waver heads back to his room and slips a game into the front of his sweater (first checking no one will see, of course). He then goes down to the media room and finds a good corner to wind down and set up Admirable War Tactics.]

[tohko_amano]

Tohko usually didn't come up to this library, as the book here weren't as tasty or enjoyable as the ones on the lower floors. However, recent events had showed her in here, and she had been reading a book on depression and it's psychological effects in the corner when she heard someone yelling. She quickly closed the book, rushed to the noise, and found a boy carrying a large book pile yelling about the empty history section. Since books were also falling from his pile, Tohko picked them up as she quickly spoke.

"No one forgot to put the books away. That section has always been empty. It was left that way by the Administrators." Tohko paused for a moment as she put the fallen books on a nearby table. "I'm guessing that you're new around here."

[nonacquiescent]

He didn't seem to care that he was making someone else pick up after him, or that he was loud enough to call attention from somewhere else within the library.

"It hasn't always been empty if there's a section for it! Besides, have you ever heard of a library without a history section?! Even if you go to a specialised library on a specific topic like art, there's going to be a history section!"

He sighed and shoved what remained in his hands on the empty shelf.

"I just got here. So what?"

[tohko_amano]

Tohko sighed. "Please, calm down. Normally, I would agree with you, and it's possible that there are some history books for that empty section. However, the Administrators have taken them all away and hidden them. No one knows where, and the Administrators are pretty tight-lipped about it." While Tohko wasn't much of a history buff, she did understand why this guy was upset. Losing books was annoying, especially books that let you know about where you were.

Tohko nodded at those last lines. "So you had no idea that we're not really in control of what books get pulled or put onto the shelves. But now you do."

[ ...

Uh.. what.. that.. sure is a thing.. Why is he hiding a book. Under his pillow. A pretty boring looking book too-- why does he always get stuck with the weirdos. (Maybe because you're king weirdo yourself, Leon.) ]

So, do you always do that? [ Casually standing in the doorway, dwi, dwi. ]

[nonacquiescent]

[Wow go away Leon.

He turns around, raising an eyebrow.]

Do what?

[tsunball]

[ Wow have you never heard that roosters are supposed to stick together. ]

That book. Do you have some kind of weird obsession with it? [ Putting books under your pillow is like.. something Leon could never understand.. ] At least don't be creepy with it while I'm around!

[vermicompost]

[Kariya shuffles forward at the sound of a shout, worried that someone might be hurt. He's not in the best state himself, but he still has a will to help others. His arm is wrapped around his body as he moves, his right arm holding on to his left. He doesn't bother to hide his Command Seals.

He sees the young man and the creature at the same time. Having spent a little time in the observatory himself, he's more or less confident that the creatures can't attack (or they don't seem to be able to), but they are startling, as he knows from experience.]

Hello--are you all right? They can't get in.

[nonacquiescent]

What?! Look at how thin the glass is, it could definitely get in if it really wanted to...!!

[He looks over his shoulder, up at Kariya, desperately. He hasn't yet noticed the command spells, but, that's only because of his current state of confusion.]

[vermicompost]

[Kariya doesn't hesitate to walk closer to Waver and the thing--he'd been scared at first, but now he knows better. He looks at it, and it looks back, and he still feels afraid, but he's certain now, after spending some time waiting and resting here, that there isn't any real danger. (In spite of the stories he's heard about a space whale.) He would fight the thing, if it attacked, but he doesn't believe that will happen.

He's glad he can be of some help, if it's only to reassure.]

It looks that way, but things aren't what they seem here. I've been here a while, and I don't think it will.

I think we're safe.

[Illya had been sitting and resting as she watched people coming and going for some time now. She really hadn't thought anything of Waver, but his game had caught her interest.

Moving to Waver's position, she greets her fellow magus with a smile on her face.]

Whatcha doing?

[nonacquiescent]

[He really didn't want to be caught, it was still embarrssing to be wasting time on a video game, and even more so to admit he actually enjoys it. So, he answers with reluctance, hoping she won't ask for more detail.]

...Playing a video game.

[kindofademon]

Are you worried?

[Ryuunosuke seems completely calm, despite Waver's outburst.]

It's not like they can get to you, so whatever they look like, it's no problem, right?

[nonacquiescent]

As if that makes a difference! They're still creepy!

[Floor 45]

[faithstaynight]

[If that surprised Waver that badly, perhaps this will surprise him a bit less: the unmistakable presence of a (very strong) Servant nearby. "Nearby" as in "right behind him". She certainly isn't dressed like a Servant - no hint of armor or a weapon anywhere, just a simple shirt and pants - and there's no sense of hostility surrounding her. In fact, she looks a bit concerned.]

Do not worry. Those creatures are horrifying, and their sudden appearance can be surprising, but they will not attempt to attack you through the glass.

[Floor 45]

[nonacquiescent]

[The sudden sense makes him gasp, and it takes a bit of courage to look back at her. For a moment, he assumes Saber, but, no, she isn't a Saber class, and though she looks similar, she's still certainly different. Would it be possible to meet someone from a past or future Grail War? She can't possibly be part of the fourth. That shock and immediate need to figure out what's going on actually causes him to almost entirely forget the reason she appeared.]

You- you're a Servant?

hall...way... cracks up at rider already

[macedonian]

[To say the least, this was not what he had expected.]

[When he had awoken, it was with a steely, serious expression, as if whoever had been around were about to get attacked. But after waiting to see if this would disappate, Rider had inspected his chest thoroughly, but not even a scar from Archer remained. It didn't really seem possible, but at the same time, he had cheated death once, in a way, so he had reasoned that clearly his luck was good enough to do it again.]

[...Well, it was a little less simple than that, but Rider (or rather, Alexander) hated to admit when he was at a loss. It was a weakness that a great king could not afford to show, so he did not. He rose and left the room, taking to the hallways to instead explore this strange new place.]

[And really, he's not far from Waver in the hallway, but Waver's attention would surely be drawn anyways because once Rider finds a network terminal in the hall, you better believe it's hard for him to contain his interest and excitement. It's his usual boisterous and cheerful voice, though it seems even louder with how it echoes in the hallway...]

Hou, what a fascinating little thing this is! Ha, it must be one of those 'computers' I had seen, but it still quite a tiny thing...

[Seriously he probably can't even use the keyboard with how big his fingers are...] Hmm, but how to turn it on...?

he's just too much

[nonacquiescent]

[At first, that all too familiar, loud voice just seems like a figment of Waver's imagination. It's pretty sad, how vividly he can still hear Rider, huh...

That is, until he comes closer to the computer and realises it's not just a voice, but a giant body which could only indicate one person. No one else is that annoyingly huge.

Not knowing what else to do, he stops in his tracks, staring at his (former) Servant fumbling with the computer. He's torn between berating him for being so stupid, and crying because he thought Rider was gone forever. It's tough being tsun and no one understands.]

It's-

[but his voice comes out in little more than a squeak. So he clears his throat, pointing to the power button]

It's right there.

Floor 14

[koncubine]

What a old fashioned game! Is this sort of thing "vintage" now?

[A Servant with fox ears in leaning over his shoulder, watching him play. If Waver's distracted by her sudden appearance, she's quick to redirect his attention back to the game.]

Ah, if you don't watch out, you're going to get blown off the map.

[nonacquiescent]

[He certainly is distracted - once again, a strange Servant has suddenly appeared, at least this time she doesn't seem to be a strange class. He stares at her for a moment before being pointed back to the game and quickly jamming a few buttons to save his army from doom.]

It's brand new, as far as I'm concerned, actually...

[terreifying]

Huh? What section was left blank?

[Rei is curious. It seems the library is quite filled.]

[nonacquiescent]

Obviously this section that's just a bunch of empty shelves!! The history section, what does it look like?!

floor 19;

[angramaintsu]

[ If he's attune enough to the force of magic around him, Waver might notice a significant source of corruption to his left. If not, well the look she's giving might be enough to ward any man away. ]

You're noisy. [ Bluntly said as her arms fold themselves over her chest. ] In a library at that. Don't you have any manners?

[nonacquiescent]

[Waver seizes up as soon as he feels that presence come near. He stares at the girl for several moments before he's able to speak, the shock being quite overwhelming.]

Don't they have any manners?

Floor 45

[divinitysoiled]

[That's a succubus laughing behind you, Waver.]

[nonacquiescent]

...!!

[He turns his head, still sitting on the floor, as soon as he hears the laughter, glaring at the woman.]

Shut up, don't laugh at me!!
