SEVENTEENTH STAFF ♞ interrupted reverie
Characters: Sayaka & pals (you are the pals) (it's you)
Setting: literally every floor because wtf tower??
Format: i start prose habitually but i'll match ya
Summary: Sayaka Miki (+5 years) realizes there is a disparity in the tower that ISN'T just effecting people. Where did floor 100 go?!
Warnings: Sayaka's been effected by the event, and will be notably different than usual (as in hi have a twenty year old with a self-done haircut and and a lot of issues).
She can't recall what exactly it was that made her think "hey, wait a moment, the tower isn't the same as it was yesterday," but here she was, at the lowest floor they were allowed on, taking the staircase up two at a time, because like she gives a damn about falling.
"One," "two," "three," "four," "five--" she firmly states the number of a floor aloud, when she crests the staircase to the next.
The first five floors are the same as usual, though they're serving something different than the last time she was down at the cafeteria - maybe the month had turned and she hadn't noticed. ..Again. She spares a moment for a viewing station on floor five - yeah, home's the same wasteland it always is, not a single blasted rock out of place. It hasn't changed since she was last back out there herself, kicking over wreckage and wishing the world would be ended enough that she didn't have to be here in it.
Six, seven, eightnineten--
This forest is boring. The pool she gives a once-over to, wondering if she could spot a friend in there - but regardless, Sayaka moves on. Having to go through the maze is a stupid dumb waste of time (she never liked randomly generated games, anyway) and the aquarium doesn't hold much fascination for her anymore. She could cheat and just take the stairs down from the dorms, but what if she's wrong and all those floors just got mixed up, rather than just being gone? It'd be a real Riki thing to do.
All the way through eleven-twelve-thirteen-fourteen-fifteen-sixteen-seventeen-eighteen-nineteen-twenty-twenty one is uneventful, but on twenty two she stares up at the hole in the ceiling going to the next place up and frowns. She always remembered there being something - off, at this part, but she shrugs it off and climbs anyway.
When Sayaka's finally made it to the very tip top of the tower, she immediately goes for the elevator to count the buttons. There's not enough. Either she's crazy, or the tower is missing about fifty floors that were there all fine 'n dandy the last time she looked. And while she's never been one to dismiss the possibility that yeah, she's finally lost that last marble -
"What the hell!"
She punches the button panel, and the doors start to slide closed. Wherever it arrives will soon be audience to an aggravated girl.

Well, congratulations, you found me! Now that that's over, see you next time -
[just gonna step back and reach over for that 'close door' button -]
no subject
[Think you're going to escape her by retreating into the elevator? Think again. She'll just barely be able to slip in before the doors close completely.]
You can't just avoid me forever, y'know!

[Oh, great, Kyoko made it into the elevator. Sayaka leans against the wall, looking somewhat deflated by her continued presence. She has had this conversation at least fifty times, and she is really not in the mood for round fifty one. She's got a fallacy to pursue, and - and, sigh it's not like it was going to go anywhere anyway.]
--could certainly try to.

She crosses her arms, staring at Sayaka.]
Do you seriously think I'll just leave you alone while you're still like this? It's not like before, Sayaka.
[She's not who she was ten years ago, let alone when she first met Sayaka. Though she chased her even back then, didn't she?]
What do you think you're gonna accomplish by just pushing everyone away?
no subject
Why don't you go ahead and tell me what I think? We've done this enough by now. I bet I can even quote what you would say next to what I would say next.
