[pellegri]

Characters: Pellegri and any awesome person who wants to meet her

Summary: Pellegri is here, and what a shock, she's not happy.
Warnings: None yet.

After waking and realizing she was obviously not on the durandal anymore, Pellegri had changed into her own clothing, made herself presentable, and made sure to grab her glaive. Somewhere, she learned about oatmeal and collars, and horrible experiments. She found the cafeteria and sneaked away with her plain oatmeal to force it down in private, then set about deciding what she would do.

The walls on the fourth floor might have been shatter proof, but Pellegri had no way of knowing. Since no one was around to stop her, she decided to test them. She knew that even if she did manage to break through, there was no telling how far down the ground might be, but she felt like she had to try anyway. And anyone entering the floor would be greeted with the sight of an angry middle-aged woman attacking windows with a spear.




[12]

While taking a little time to explore, Pellegri stopped on floor 12. At first, she thought she might catch a glimpse of home (maybe a nicer one than that other floor with screens), but it didn't take her long to realize what she was actually witnessing. The destruction of planets... whole star systems... Life. She watched the stars bitterly for a while, wondering if they were real depictions. And if, maybe, these were other worlds people had spoken of. If so, who was responsible for this destruction.



[13]

Pellegri may have had her faith in Ormus destroyed, but her faith in general still existed on some level. It wasn't even that though, it was simply the setting. The colors, the lighting... It brought back memories, good and bad. Pellegri sat in one of the front pews, staring forward blankly in thought. She wasn't sure if this church was meant as respite or mockery, given the situation. Regardless, it was a small comfort while she considered her new home.

There are windows in one of the upper floors... with things crawling around on them.

[pellegri]

...Things?

[She lowered her weapon, and looked over at him.]

[withak]

They look like they might have been human once, or at least a parody of human. I've never seen them get in, so that's at least one benefit of the glass being unbreakable.

[pellegri]

I see... The more I learn about this tower the less sense it makes. Perhaps they want to further cement the idea that they have "rescued" us.

[withak]

I doubt they'll ever convince more than a handful of us. The monsters, the experiments... there's hardly anything in their treatment of us that could be considered 'positive'.
