Characters: Theodore & Open to all
Setting: Room 01-10, lower floors, location might change
Format: Going with Action first but any format is fine to me.
Summary: Theodore wakes up in the Tower for the first time and is going to explore as much as he can.
Warnings: None, will be updated should anything happen.

[Theodore's eyes are blinking a few times as he lies in a room he doesn't recall to have been at before. It takes a few moments but eventually he sits up and turns his head to look around a little, seeing the three other and apparently occupied beds, then stares down at himself and this... strange attire he does not remember wearing before. He raises a hand to touch the collar around his neck to check if he could take it off, but given what material it was made of, it doesn't seem to be possible at the time being.

It takes another moment until Theodore spots two letters that are addressed at him. The first one he reads explains to him that his world has been destroyed. It's not the first time he has been told something unbelievable and cryptic like this, so of course, he had a hard time believing what is said to him in this letter. The other he reads carefully as it seems to provide more information that the first one.

Once done with reading he gets up to take a look at the trunk. His clothes were there, the Compendium as well and... he smiles as he sees the Jack Frost plush with the ring that has been left by his beloved. Theodore slips the ring over his finger and takes the compendium and his clothes out of the trunk to change back into the so much more familiar attire.]


[The former Velvet Room attendant walks through the hallways, eying them with curiosity and cautiousness. Being in this Tower reminds him slightly of Tartarus, yet not entirely. There was something different, something he can not point at.

He carried the Persona Compendium under one of his arms, he had checked it earlier in his assigned room and found that only the personae he uses in fights had been left in it. It worried him that someone has been able to remove such a great number of them at once. But there isn't much he can do about that at the time being.

Maybe if he speaks to some of the residents of this tower he will be able to find out more...]

[belzebul]

[Did you ever have Beelzebub in your Compendium, Theo? Because your fly alarm bells should be ringing when you spot this demon here. He's even in his most demonic form, it shouldn't be hard.]

Newbie. [It's not hard to tell.] I'm about to go hunting, but I can spare time for questions.

[yourhandplease]

[Of course Theo has, the Lord of Flies is one of the few that have remained in the Compendium. He recognizes him but... he remembers Beelzebub to look different from this.]

Why, thank you.

[Though, don't mind him checking if said Persona is still in the Compendium before he asks any questions.]

[belzebul]

What's your book say?

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko had been in the mood for sweet, pudding-like stories, so, after taking care of her library duties, she gathered up a few books and started to head down to her dorm room. On the way, she saw someone near her own room. She hadn't seen them before though..if he was a new arrival, the timing was right.]

Good morning..pardon me, but are you a new arrival?

[yourhandplease]

Ah, good morning.

[Theodore smiles at the girl and walks towards her, holding the compendium close with one arm.]

Yes, I woke up in one of the rooms here just recently.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko returned the smile and nodded.]

Ah, alright then! Welcome to the Tower of Animus then. I'm Tohko Amano, the book girl. If you want, I could tell you what I know about the Tower. That way, you'll know what you're up against!

[seekinganswers]

[The cautious expression on Theodore's face is enough of a giveaway that Sheba doesn't even need to read his mind to know he's new. The slight air of worry is enough to make her slow her steps as they begin to approach each other in the halls, until she comes to a stop just a few feet away. She offers him a small smile.]

Are you alright? It looks like something is bothering you. Waking up in a place like this is a little jarring, huh?

[yourhandplease]

[As different as this place is from Tartarus, it still reminds him a little of it, except that there were dorms to sleep at and just so much more other than monsters. When the young lady speaks to him he smiles and nods slowly.]

A little. It reminds me of a place that has existed in my world. I must say that I didn't expect to end up in yet another world than my own when I woke up.

[seekinganswers]

That's understandable... no one really expects to find themselves in a place like this, I guess.

[She blinks and then tilts her head to the side, curious.]

You had towers full of monsters in your world, too?

[idolizer]

[ In the lower floors, specifically the lounge, Sayaka was resting from her intensive training of the day. That's when she spots a new figure she hasn't seen before. She decides to greet him then, because she's polite enough to do that to anyone - even if she doesn't get a hi in return. ]

Good afternoon.

[yourhandplease]

[Even if she doesn't expect this, Theodore is a guy of the polite sort, the least he can do is to greet someone back. And maybe if he speaks with her he will be able to find out more about this place]

Good afternoon Miss.

[He steps a bit closer but keeps a distance, so he would leave her personal space alone.]

May I ask you a few question about this place?

[idolizer]

[ A tilt of her head. It's easy to guess why he'd ask that. ]

You're new here, aren't you? [ Hmm. She gives a polite smile. ] I don't know everything about this place, but I'll try to help.

[evokingfool]

[Perhaps Theo may notice the presence of a Wild Card user. To be exact, a guest of the Velvet Room, even if it's been a long time since Minato step inside that room.

He was walking in the hallways when he paused. The whispers from his Personas are quieter. Minato blinks and look, slowly walking until he see a young man in an oddly familiar outfit. Well, it's not the outfit itself but the colours reminded him of the Velvet Room. His footsteps slow down to a stop.]

...Hello.

[yourhandplease]

[Yes, that presence doesn't go unnoticed by him, despite that he as well hasn't been in the Velvet Room for some time.

He looks back at the other, his eyes quickly look him over. The uniform was the same as hers...]

Hello, may I ask you something?

[evokingfool]

I don't mind. What is it?

[He has a faint suspicion, if his hunches are correct. But for now, Minato will keep his thoughts about it to himself until the other man ask his question.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Seeing the man's profile at first makes Diarmuid's breath catch in his throat. If it hadn't been for the curious and determined expression on the man's face, the servant would have sworn that somehow the tower was taunting him with an image of what he had been during the experiment. The surreal feeling actually causes Diarmuid to follow the other man for a short while before he stops and realizes how silly and rude he's being.

The man, whoever he may be is obviously a new arrival and if he hasn't already noticed Diarmuid following him, it's probably only a matter of time until he does. Not exactly the best way to introduce yourself to someone.

So Diarmuid takes a deep breath and shakes away the last of his feeling of deja vu before finally walking up to the other man.]

New arrival, yes? Have you talked to many people yet? If not, I would be glad to help you with whatever questions you have.

[yourhandplease]

[It was hard not to notice that he had been followed for a while already. If might have been silly but he assumed that something must have been on the other person's mind, they wouldn't have followed around for that long if that hadn't been the case.

So Theodore only smiles at him.]

Indeed, and I haven't talked to many yet. I would appreciate any kind of help.

[oathshackledbird]

Help I will be glad to give.

[Diarmuid nods, but there is still some wariness in his eyes. Up close, the man really doesn't look that much like him at all, but seeing him from a distance had still shaken the servant quite a bit.]

Tell me what you do know, or if it would be quicker, are there specific questions that you have? I don't want to waste your time merely repeating what you have already been told.

meadow (note--Lancer was cursed by Ganondorf)

[puppy_lancer]

[For some reason, Lancer's body felt...off today. As a result, he's stretched out on the meadow, taking a nap, instead of bouncing around all the floors like his usual self.]

[He stirs when he hears someone approaching.]

Who...

[White hair, golden eyes...it was too much like Diarmuid's altered form for comfort. This makes him bolt up, even though the sudden movement makes him stagger.]

[yourhandplease]

... Lancer?

[Theodore's eyes widen in surprise. Surely, this was Lancer but... when did he change so much? And how did he get here?]

[puppy_lancer]

...You know me?

[Lancer gives a wary glare at strange man. Okay, so going by the voice, he definitely wasn't Diarmuid. This then begged the question of how this guy knew him.]

Floor 5

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch was about to pass this floor up, yet again. But...what had Raphael seen, that could unnerve him that way?

He wonders if this was all, when he does look through it. The sight of the ruined city of Meridian does pain him enough to look away and slump down beside the viewfinder, looking pale. But Raphael had seemed worse than he was, and he had "help" from actually being there before this...

He doesn't notice the newcomer nearby, fighting with his own memories again, unsure of what he wanted to remember, if he wanted to remember, or why he had forgotten in only a week.

[yourhandplease]

[Theodore is sure that he has seen him in Ruby City before. He hasn't spoken to this man before, but he has seen him, that he is sure of.

With a few quick steps and the Persona Compendium in his arms, the former Velvet Room attendant walks towards the blond man and kneels down next to him.]

Is everything alright?

Hi, roomie... Room 1-10

[chronomancer]

[There's a troll in one of the beds in the room, startled awake by the sound of Theodore's movements. Eridan looks over his shoulder for a moment, not really seeing much of anything except the fact he's not registering much of a threat, before he relaxes a little more. He doesn't quite want to get up yet, though he probably should, in all honesty. After a moment, just as Theodore finishes dressing up, Eridan sits up in his bed, hair mussed and expression groggy. The troll yawns, baring the crooked fangs he calls teeth, before setting his eyes on Theodore. He blinked a few times to clear away the sleepiness.]

...fresh meat, huh?

[yourhandplease]

Hmm?

[He quickly turns around and looks at the troll. He isn't very surprised, he has met a few in the last world he has been at.]

Oh, my apologies. I didn't mean to wake you up.
