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.]

In my world, I'm quite powerless. No magic, little strength... [She surged in, kissing him and instantly opening her senses to feed off him before pulling back] ... Underestimated.

Because you just underestimated me... and I took advantage of it by making a nice meal of you.

[She laughed, leaning in again] Virgin? Or barely touched? You certainly taste it.

Succubus. I tasted every bit of purity in the life energy I supped upon when kissing you. [She leaned in for another kiss]

[She captured one hand, kissing it] Because your overreaction is amusing to me.

No. Virgin, overreacting, under thinking... You are the most amusing thing right now.

[She sighed, standing and picking him up. She's a bit stronger than she looks] If you can think, then do so! Why is it preferable for you to be underestimated?

You don't fight to win, do you. Only to be recognized. Sad. You could manipulate your opponent so well into overreaching by looking faint and harmless before crushing them into a laughing oblivion.

It keeps you alive. [Now her voice is cold, blunt] It keeps you from dying to the sanctimonious bastards that believe your birth alone gives them reason to kill you on sight. It keeps you going. [She grabbed him, pulling him close] It is the only reason I am alive right now despite both the holy and damned wishing to kill me on sight. Think about it, little one, and do not insult me again. [Another deep kiss, as deeply soul sucking as the last, before dropping him]

It's one you said is not a worthy way to live. I think that was quite insulting enough.
