Wait for the end of the world or wind up accidentally triggering it...

Characters: Felix and anyone that isn't Felix
Setting: Room 3-12 > Dorm Floor 3 > Floor 1
Format: The post is brackets, but I will follow you!
Summary: Felix just took the final step in his quest to save his world from definite destruction even though it also may destroy the world. Then he woke up here. Oops...
Warnings: Nothing at the moment.

Room 3-12
[The strangeness of everything had vanished in one instant.

Felix had no idea why he was no longer on Mars Lighthouse. He remembered the light from the beacon firing and then...here he was in this strange room in these strange clothes with a strange collar.

Yes, that surprise was all gone due to the shock at the paper he was now staring at in horror in his hand. Even the fact that a second piece of paper was there had faded from his thoughts.
]

...Wh-What...?

[Destroyed? But...everyone had been so sure this would be better for Weyard. It really did spell out its immediate doom? And why had The Wise One apparently spared only him? Was this his punishment? He had already destroyed his parents. Now Jenna was gone too, and so were all his friends. Isaac, Garet, Sheba, Piers, Kraden, all of them... Then again, if this was all his fault, he probably deserved to be the only one "saved".

He hangs his head as he crumples up the piece of paper. Well now what?
]

Dorm Floor 3
[Felix had finally gotten past his initial shock and grief and had decided it would be best to investigate this place. One of his first discoveries was the trunk at the foot of his bed, so he was now clad once more in his usual clothes. He has also put the Tisiphone Edge at his side (he was really lucky that sword could fit in that thing), as well at three items that granted him more Psynergy, and the Mythril Bag he had still been hold while Mars Lighthouse destroyed Weyard. He figured it had been given to him as a reminder of what he had done, so he may as well carry it with him.

He had also found he couldn't take off the collar, but he would worry about that later. It probably wasn't worth worrying about right now with everything else going on.

He was now checking out the hallway of this floor. It almost looked like a huge inn with all the rooms. Where were all these people from, anyway? Were there other places that had suffered the same fate as Weyard? Alchemy hadn't destroyed multiple places, had it?

Still, it probably wouldn't hurt to talk to any of the people around here. There probably wasn't any point in hiding who he was after all. If they knew, they should know him by sight. The Wise One seemed like the kind of guy to do something like that. That flying rock really was evil...
]

Floor 1
[He had finally wandered enough to figure out how to get to the cafeteria. This place...something just seemed off about the whole thing. As much as he wanted to explore everything, another part of him told him to try to research it before he wandered into a place that would trap him. He was obviously the only Adept here, after all. If something required Psynergy he didn't have, he would be stuck.

Felix had come here since he honestly just assumed he should be hungry. He still felt pretty numb. Everything....everything was gone. Except for him and nine Djinn, but if they all acted like Echo, they didn't sound like the best company right now. He'd keep them set, thanks.

He now had his apparently mandatory bowl of oatmeal. It was odd, but then again what hadn't been since he woke up? Felix sat at a table, looking almost blankly into the bowl as his thoughts about home washed over him. He had failed everyone. He couldn't protect any of them.

Very periodically, he takes a small spoonful and eats it. He doesn't quite seem to register the food isn't all that great or even that he's necessarily eating. It was almost like part of him involuntarily knew he needed to eat something while he was lost in his memories and the reality of the current situation.

[Zett had been munching on his breakfast when he spotted the familiar sign of a new person: oatmeal. He decided to sit down across from Felix.]

Hi.

If that didn't garner a response, he'd wave his hand in front of Felix's face.]

You're new, right? You can help me with my new year's resolution to talk to the new people more. How are you feeling?

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-01-09 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Course it does. There's a lot of people in this tower, I have to call you something - it might as well be your name.

[Names are sort of a big deal for Zett anyway.]

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-01-10 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Zett Takajo, but you can just call me Zett. Nice to meet you, Felix. Other than the part about us being in a horrible torture tower place.

This place? It's full of monsters, and the people in charge run experiments on you that'll scar your psyche, or just kill you.

So... welcome, I guess?

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-01-20 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No, sometimes they use people who really would rather be home and have plenty of things to lose. You're just lucky.

[Idrial does not eat in the cafeteria herself and she hasn't done so since her first meal of oatmeal there. In fact, she had been advised by a number of friends who were here in the Tower too to hunt for her own food whenever possible and she was planning to stick to that strategy.

Today she is wandering around the cafeteria however but not for any particular reason except for interaction with people. She has figured out that at this time of the month a number of new people tend to arrive in the Tower and these new people are always to be found eating oatmeal in the cafeteria. It is something that unfortunately has to be done after all. Seeing an unfamiliar face sitting by himself she walks over to the table and gestures a hand to a space on the bench beside him.]


Greetings. May I take this seat?
maidenidrial: (side look)

[personal profile] maidenidrial 2013-01-06 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Of course, arriving in the Tower without anyone here that you know or anyone to give you advice wasn't exactly a good thing. Which is why Idrial tries to help those she can. She had had the benefit of having two of her kin around to greet her and tell her how this Tower worked.

As he answers she will bow her head low in thanks and takes a seat down next to him.]


Thank you, Little One. [A pause] You have only just arrived in this Tower, have you not?
maidenidrial: (conversing)

[personal profile] maidenidrial 2013-01-12 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes, 'Little One'. At least to her that's what he seems like. She nods at that question.]

Yes, I have been here for quite a while and I have never seen you around the Tower before. You are also eating oatmeal. People rarely chose to eat it after their first arrival.
maidenidrial: (loudwater fury)

[personal profile] maidenidrial 2013-01-18 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods her head but only slightly, her eyes on the bowl in front of him.]

Yes. The new people arriving at the Tower have to eat it once they arrive. No one is quite sure why. I've been here for around...

[She has to think about it for a moment. Time works differently to someone who is five thousand years old and still very young.] ...it must be four months now.

Hiya mister!

[As if Felix's day couldn't get any worse. As he passed room 3-09, a little girl poked her head out through the doorway before scrambling into the hallway properly.]

You look depressed. What happened, didja just get here or somethin'?
glitchinprincess: (Shruggin')

[personal profile] glitchinprincess 2013-01-05 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I sleep in there, so I guess I am!

[She shrugs a little. Without someone calling "Arcade's closed!" all the time, she sometimes had trouble marking the passage of time. It hasn't even been a month yet - but it sure feels like she's been here for ages. She's got a short attention span and all.

...which was part of why she was now skipping around Felix to get a better look at him.]


Hey, how come your hair's so long?

glitchinprincess: (Default)

[personal profile] glitchinprincess 2013-01-07 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
How come you haven't cut it, huuuuh?

[I'm so sorry, Felix.]
glitchinprincess: (Aren't I cute?)

[personal profile] glitchinprincess 2013-01-07 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Can I cut it for you, mister?

[She shot him her biggest grin ever - though what she was going to cut it with, she wasn't quite sure... oh god, she's looking at the Tisiphone Edge. Great. Just great.]

You've got a cutting thing and everything right there!
glitchinprincess: (Puhleeeeeeeeease!)

[personal profile] glitchinprincess 2013-01-09 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Soooo if it's not for haircuts...

[She skips around him again and looks up at him with big, wide eyes.]

...what is it for? Do you cut up evil bad guys and stuff with it? Are you sure I can't just hold it for a little bit?

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
glitchinprincess: (Check THIS out!)

[personal profile] glitchinprincess 2013-01-10 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! There's LOTSA monsters around here, so it's good you have that!

...how can someone get experience?
glitchinprincess: (DOY...)

[personal profile] glitchinprincess 2013-01-27 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Uuuuh, I think so! This nice book lady said something about training. I think. I forget.

There's probably a lot of 'em though, or else everyone'd just be EATEN! Yanno, monster chow?

[...she says, with a wide smile on her face.]

Where'm I gonna find something like that? Are you sure I can't just borrow yours, mister?

[Darkleer has no real business walking up here, but given recent... surprises, let's call them that, he feels a little exploring of upper levels might be necessary. Hopefully he wouldn't run into any of the two other highbloods in the Tower. He looks like he's just out for a stroll, walking slowly along the corridor with a solemn, dignified air. The size helps with that impression.

When he runs into Felix, he doesn't show much sign of recognition, beyond a sidelook to acknowledge his presence. This place is crawling with aliens, a thing Darkleer has puzzled over for a while. But he supposes it's better than if it were crawling with trolls. Would not be nearly as peaceful and quiet, after all. The thought brings a meanspirited smile to his lips.]
disgracedvoid: (Default)

[personal profile] disgracedvoid 2013-01-07 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Darkleer arched an eyebrow at the impertinence of the questions. These aliens are really terrible with manners, aren't they? He wonders if their culture utterly lacks proper education.]

Hardly.

[He resists the urge to roll his eyes.]

If you must absolutely know, merely musing on idle thoughts.
disgracedvoid: (♐ A little vision of the start the end)

[personal profile] disgracedvoid 2013-01-09 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Mind your manners.

[He sounds almost resigned at that. You weird ass aliens and your weird ass manners will be the death of him. Only not really.]

As for who I am, that is hardly something you should concern yourself with.

[...what do you mean which manners to mind. Darkleer does not facepalm because Darkleer is too damn stoic to facepalm. But rly, Felix. RLY.]

Hn.

[He scoffs a little, as if this is entirely Felix's fault and not something outside his control.]

You are somewhere I reckon you'd soon want not to be.
disgracedvoid: (♐ For a little touch of heavenly light)

[personal profile] disgracedvoid 2013-01-15 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, that sounds like being social. That's like. A troll disease or something. Darkleer is just a professional hermit, okay.]

It is a threat insomuch as it needs to be, should your behavior demand it.

[In other words, if you call his bluff, he'll do his darn best to make you regret it. 8|]

But it should, in theory, be a simple observation in regards to the state of this Tower and the circumstances not so much behind you, as around you.
disgracedvoid: (♐ A little vision of the start the end)

[personal profile] disgracedvoid 2013-01-17 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Only that you should be prepared for your stay here to be long and uncomfortable.

[Darkleer scoffs, after a moment.]

Your paranoia is very irritating.
disgracedvoid: (Default)

[personal profile] disgracedvoid 2013-01-17 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I did not say it was irrational.

[Darkleer arches an eyebrow.]

Merely that I find it irritating.
