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.

omg yes, vote seconded
"Sayaka, are you all ri-..."
Enoch's question is cut off in a gasp as the stairs drop out from under them. Suddenly, they're over by the wall again, the same glowing warning near them. Enoch had never been able to see what the warning was about, because generally, the whispers and things brushing past him were enough to spur him back towards the staircase instead of fumbling in the dark around the glowing writing.
There's a shout near him, and Enoch jumps, the Arch coming back out and opening, its glow providing only enough illumination to see the outline of his upper body, only his knuckles clearly visible, being right next to the beam. Not enough to see by and thankfully not enough to do the same as the flashlight.
