First Line

[linesofdeath]

Who: Shiki Tohno (linesofdeath) and You!
Where: Room 01-20, Floor 4, Floor 8
When: Before the event, that's for sure.
What: Having the notice that his world ended, a certain youth decided to see just what kind of mess did he end up in. Again.
Warning: N/A for now.


Room 01-20
[He had been calm, he had not been reacting badly ever since he woke up. But of course that’s what the boy’s trying to look like as he scanned the letter he arrived with in the room he just woke up in.

It was a strange ceiling, by the way.

In any case, the boy didn’t say anything as he got up after finishing the letter, and if there were any other occupants in the room, the first thing he’ll ask was just:]

…Do you know where I can get a bite in this place?

Floor 4
[A ridiculous meal over and done with (seriously that tasted really bad), Shiki went on his way as he noticed a glass-walled lounge on his way up to explore the tower. Well, in a sense this would at least help him find out just where this cloud is.

…

Only to find out that an expanse of grayness is not exactly a thing he really enjoyed looking at. Regardless, he’s there, just staring at the outside sky with a perplexed look.]

Floor 8
[…Maybe he should’ve avoided the maze and went on another way entirely, but no. He had to go through them in order to go to the next floor, and knowing him and his way of walking into trouble, maybe he should’ve stayed in the lounge instead…]

Comments

Floor 4 lemme bother this one as well...

[ Sayaka just happens to have some chill time after training, so she decided to head up to the lounge and maybe take a look outside.

... Looks like someone had her same idea.

This girl who's dressing in a plain white shirt, black shorts, and blue hair tied in a ponytail is going to approach you friendly. ]

It's pretty grim outside, isn't it?

FFF

[linesofdeath]

It is.

[He's not surprised at the sudden intrusion, really. After a long time of living with a pair of strange maids, an enthusiastic sister, a happy-go-lucky Dead Apostle AND a executioner these kind of things are pretty much normal.]

Should have expected it the moment they said that this place is some sort of safe haven for us.

[idolizer]

It's nothing like what they said, for sure.

[ She sighs, pushing her stray bangs behind her ear. ] I've been here for such a short time, and yet I feel nothing but uncertainty the longer I stay here. [ And fear. And regret. And many other feelings this stranger surely doesn't need to know. ]

[linesofdeath]

To be honest, everyone'd feel like that after seeing those monsters.

[Because really who can trust a tower that's dull and full of things that're out to kill you each corner you take and every floors you climb yields a life-and-death experience.

They seriously need a new management, really.]

[idolizer]

[ A bitter chuckle. ] I can only agree with that. I still wonder how I survived going down all these stairs the first time. [ Really, she didn't know better. ]

[linesofdeath]

A little bit of luck goes a long way at times, you know?

[There's a sort of wry smile from him as he responded to her remark. Though in his case, it's more of a dodging and running for his life. An easy feat considering everything that happened back home.]

[idolizer]

I suppose so. It's not that I was very lucky before coming here, so that compensates it.

[ She was only slightly killed, no big deal. ]

[linesofdeath]

Well, there has to be some balance in life after all.

[He adjusts his glasses, to be honest, the grayness simply hurt his eyes since focusing on one color tends to be a little bit too disorienting to be honest.]

[idolizer]

Uh-huh. I feel lucky to be alive.

[ That's partly a lie. Having to deal with your past actions and being trapped in a hellhole like this isn't a good perspective after dealing with one death. ]

[linesofdeath]

[...Fortunately for her, he didn't really see through that lie, but hey, some optimism is kinda good.]

Then that's all well and good, isn't it?

[idolizer]

It is... kind of. Still, please be careful around here. I could tell you which floors are mostly safe.

[linesofdeath]

Aa, that would be helpful to know, yeah.

[Would save him the trouble of peeking into every floor he came across.]

[idolizer]

[ Sayaka nods... insert all the floors she explored and found safe here - all the lowers floors and those near the elevator stops... I'm not lazy at all with the descriptions, nope. ]

That's all I know of.

[linesofdeath]

...Yeah, that'd really help me, thanks, er...

[...Whoopsies, looks like they forgot to share names.]

[idolizer]

Sayaka. Sayaka Maizono. Nice to meet you.

[linesofdeath]

Shiki Tohno, nice to meet you as well.
