FLOOR 88

[Haken was actually rather surprised to see a bar here, of all things. He wasn't too heavy of a drinker, so the lack of alcohol really didn't bother him too much. Though the pool table certainly caught his eye. He's certainly up for a game if you are, though he's got a deck of cards on hand (Thankfully, these don't explode) if your interests are elsewhere. What better place to have a game of poker than a smokey bar?]



FLOOR 61
This tower gets weirder and weirder every day. I'm the one who's supposed to be watching large mounds bounce around, not the other way around...Nice weather though.

[He's still obliged to explore though... until he gets to a pit and almost falls into it. Though, the weather is perfect and he feels like he could use a little nap. So he lays down, and places his hat over his face to block out the sun. Nothing like a siesta now and then. Bother him, trip over him. Some shenanigans will happen, for certain.]


FLOOR 74
[What would a JRPG character be without the obligatory random battle sequence? Looks like Haken's in the middle of a tough fight here, facing several monsters at once. The sounds of his gunfire echoes through the cavern, might not be too hard to find him.]

Can't a guy get some exploring done without being hassled by monsters every two steps? Feels like this is a thing everywhere I go...

Comments

[nightfowl]

How I always deal with things, Tohko. A little bit of luck, little bit of skill. All the different locales makes it feel a little bit like home, in a way.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sighed and nodded as she heard that.]

Well, that does seem like a good way to go about things sometimes. How does this make you feel at home though? Did interesting places appear overnight where you lived?

[nightfowl]

Not quite. but there were plenty of interesting locales that were connected by way of Cross Gates.

[tohko_amano]

Cross Gates? Things like interdimensional portals?

[nightfowl]

That's exactly what they are, pardner.

[tohko_amano]

Ah, alright then!

[Suddenly, an idea.]

Is there any way to build a Cross Gate?

[nightfowl]

Hold your horses, Tohko. We weren't even sure how they got there in the first place. They've always been a mysterious part of our world.

Though that doesn't mean we can't try to figure out something. Can't be the only world here that has some type of dimensional gate.

[tohko_amano]

Ah, alright then. I didn't know..but if you knew more about them, we could try building them and make our own escape route out of the Tower.

[nightfowl]

That sounds like a good plan, but we'd probably need a place to link it to. Reckon they more a bridge than a portal.

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko sighed.]

That's true..even if we did get it set up, we would have no idea where it would lead.

[nightfowl]

Would be a risk I'd be willing to take. If it doesn't work out...[He shrugs.]

We'd be strangers in a strange land. Or we'd be "stranded" with no way back. Reckon once we find a way out, it won't be open for long.

[tohko_amano]

Exactly. That's why it might not be worth the risk. Think about it-you could end up getting stuck in a place worse than Animus.
