the first arrow

Characters: Madoka Kaname and YOU!
Setting: Room 3-03, Floor Five, Cafeteria and Floor Twenty-Five.
Format: Starting with action, but I'll match you.
Summary: Madoka arrives in the tower and finds herself less alone than expected.
Warnings: Some angsty stuff and possible spoilers for the end of Madoka Magica in the comments.

[Room 3-03]

[Madoka wakes up, instinctively rolling over to reach for a stuffed animal that isn't there. The lack of a cuddly toy to hold forces her to wake up somewhat.

This isn't right. When was the last time she slept? Was she even supposed to be able to do that anymore? She's wide awake in seconds, shaking off her grogginess as she sits up. As she looks around the strange room, seeing the bodies laying in the beds around her, she clears her throat and tries to speak.

Hello...?

[Floor Five]

[It doesn't take long for Madoka to start looking for the familiar, and a tech-advanced level with the promise of information is close enough to catch her attention. When she peers into a viewing station, her shaking shoulders are enough to give away her quiet sobs if you didn't hear them.]

There's no way--! Is this... Is this my fault? Homura-chan...

[Even through the tears, she can't pull herself away from the scene. Those tears might start damaging the machine, at this rate.]

[Cafeteria]

[Where there's food, there's hope, right? At least, eating tends to be comforting. Too bad the only thing Madoka's allowed to have right now is the oatmeal. For her first meal here, this isn't exactly a great start.]

Eh... Not as good as Papa's, but at least it's something!

[She makes a face as she eats, but she forces herself to keep going. No point in being snobbish about free food. She hums to herself thoughtfully.]

I wonder if I could make something better myself...

[Floor Twenty-Five]

[After leaving the fifth floor and journeying higher through the tower, Madoka finds the meadow. It's the perfect place to wind-down after what has become a confusing and kind of stressful day. This is probably the closest she's been to her normal routine all day, in a quiet place by herself.

It's a peaceful scene, and she gives a wave and a smile to anyone passing by. She looks a bit lonely, and anyone who passes her by may find themselves being chatted at.
]

Oh, hello! Um, it's a nice day, isn't it? A-at least, I wasn't expecting such a nice place outside when I came here, were you?

[Her attempts are a little awkward, to say the least.]

I would say so. If someone didn't point it out to me, I wouldn't have never noticed it.

[ Aww, she finds the awkwardness rather cute. It's nice to talk with soft-spoken people in such a place, and Sayaka sure doesn't mind that. ]

I would say this is my most favourite floor so far!
idolizer: (i'll face myself)

Whenever I come here, I don't find many people around. Sometimes I even find myself alone, but I don't mind it. [ Friendly smile. ] I guess you're new here?
idolizer: (you have turned into my worst enemy)

[personal profile] idolizer 2012-12-05 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see. [ She understands perfectly. The first time she set to descend the stairs, she was in for one scary ride. Her smile drops significantly. ]

I hope nothing too dangerous happened to you. I know some floors are way more dangerous than others.
idolizer: (would you mind if I killed you?)

[ Indeed that's hard to believe, but she's hardly someone who would point out such things- she knows it's a rude thing to do. For all she knows, this girl could really be that capable. ]

As far as I know, there are plenty of them. I heard stories about people venturing in such places... but if you take the elevator, there's less of a chance to encounter them.
