Characters: Oz Vessalius and you!
Setting: Floors 22, 25 and 3
Format: Starting action, but I'll match!
Summary: Oz gets his Indiana Jones hat on and... wanders aimlessly
Warnings: N/A

floor 22/25;
[Several days in this place plus multiple explanations concerning how elevators work and Oz still finds himself having a bit of trouble with them, but soon enough he's heading off to poke around a little more in his daily attempt to get some answers. ...Slowly. Even though familiarizing himself with the surroundings and gathering information are his top goals, forty floors is a lot to cover! After finding out just how long traversing even one floor could take on his first day, he had mentally broken the rest down into bite-sized Adventure Chunks, and today it's time to head to the 21st floor. Possibly not the best place to start; in the end, it and the few floors directly above don't yield anything particularly interesting at first glance, and the only ones he actually stops at are 22 and 25.

Anyone in floor 22 can find him staring at what appears to be a sprawling Victorian-era urban landscape with some measure of quiet contemplation. On the other hand, those moseying through 25 will find him gaping from the stairs like this is the best thing he's ever seen.]


Oh, that's really lovely! [...Really suspicious, actually. After just a few of the things he's seen, he's not foolish enough to step off of the staircase yet. Instead, he flags down the nearest person, be they on the staircase or the floor itself.] Excuse me, is it safe to spend time on this floor?

floor 3;
[After his shenanigans on the higher floors come to an end, he takes the elevator to the bottom level and works his way up to the third. He's already passed through this library a few times and took the time out once to look for anything potentially useful, even if that search had turned out to be fruitless. This time, he's come to look around for different reasons— something to keep his mind occupied being chief among them. He had expected to walk out with a few interesting reads to whittle away some hours with. What he hadn't expected to find was the entire Holy Knight series just sitting there in the center of a shelf, begging to be checked out.

SO fine library patrons, you can catch Oz making an impromptu juggling act of himself in the fiction section, trying to balance a good eight or so volumes and still seemingly determined to pick up more. Beware all ye who wander too close, lest the potential book avalanche become a reality...]

[When Tohko wandered by and saw a young boy struggling with quite a few books, she chuckled to herself and approached him, happy to see another book lover in the library.]

Pardon..but if you need help carrying books, I'd be glad to help you out!

[Wandering through towers. It was something he was used to now, though this place was nothing like any place he had been back home. For one, none of his friends were here to his knowledge, and he was pretty sure this place wasn't made with Psynergy in mind.

So Felix is not only surprised to see a doorway that opens to a beautiful meadow, but is also surprised to see the enthusiastic boy staring at it. He's just a bit taken aback by the question, but does respond after a second.

I'm not sure, I've only been here for a few days.

[Staring at the meadow, though. Worse came to worst, it looked like his powers would work well here.]

It might be worth checking it out.

[Taiki's favourite place was the meadow and he was walking hand in hand with Sanshi when he heard the voice, he walked closer to the staircase seeing the man there.]

Oh... yes... sorry... This floor is safe... and warmer than everywhere else...

[While flattery would get him nowhere, Tohko chuckled at it a little nonetheless.]

Oh, you wouldn't be forcing work on me! I like helping people, especially with books! It would be terrible if you picked up one too many and couldn't carry the rest.

[Taiki blinked at him] Yes... sorry... the other floors are scary... a lot of them anyways...
tohko_amano: (Happy)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-01-08 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? That might be a little dangerous, for both you and the books!

[Tohko then smiled and nodded.]

Yup! I'm one of the librarians here..but I come here a lot even when I'm not working.
tohko_amano: (Happy)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-01-08 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, I can help you carry the rest, if you'll tell me what books you want!

[Tohko then chuckled and nodded, scratching her head.]

I have been here for a little while..about three months. But I got the job about a few days after I came here. Not that I mind-I love books!
tohko_amano: (excited)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-01-08 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Tohko chuckled to herself as she picked up the rest of the books that the boy pointed to.]

Don't worry! I don't think anyone will mind..but these books look interesting! I've never read them before, so let me take a look when you're done, alright?

[Tohko then smiled and nodded her head.]

Oh, I do! I know where most of the books are..even if some odd volumes I've never seen do pop up from time to time. But I do know my way around the library!
tohko_amano: (Lecturing)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-01-08 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm interested! If it's alright with you, I'll borrow the first volume and read it. I'm sure it'll be wonderful!

[For Tohko, gushing about books was something that happened on a daily basis. She would have loved it if this boy gushed too. Tohko then smiled and nodded.]

Oh, I have! Let's see..this Tower is called Animus. As far as I know, four people run it: Dax, who is the most humane of the group, Jason, who loves to experiment and torture the residents, Ruana, an immortal woman with weird powers who sees her experiments as nothing more than fun games, and Riki, who is a secretive fellow. They will lie to you, so take everything they say with a grain of salt.

If you die, you'll just wake up the next day in your bed. However..you'll probably get punished if you die too many times, so be careful. Monsters also roam the Tower at night, so if you don't know how to fight, you had better start learning from someone.

[Tohko then nodded to herself as she finished her usual infodump.]

And that should be everything!

[He apologises a lot, they are best ignored.] Oh... um... the one with screaming... and blood... But there are a lot that are scary... some have monsters so you have to be wary... sorry...
tohko_amano: (apologetic)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-01-08 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I probably will! Thank you so much! I'll be looking forward to it! [The two book lovers can then gush together.]

That's exactly what I mean. If you were to stab me right now and kill me, I'd just wake up the next day. I don't know how the system works, but that is what happens.
tohko_amano: (apologetic)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-01-09 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Tohko sighed and nodded.]

Of course, we'd like to know more about why and how it happens, but the Administrators haven't told us, and no one has been able to come up with a good theory yet..so no one knows why yet. It just does.
tohko_amano: (apologetic)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-01-09 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
And the fact that the residents decide to fight with each other sometimes.

[Tohko nodded.]

Right..knowing the Administrators, if you die too many times, you'll probably get punished.
