[ Well, this was new. Being terminated and coming back was one thing. She could deal with that. It was like sleeping, and waking up in a daze. But things didn't feel different, here. They didn't feel odd, and that was the problem. She woke up in a room she didn't recognize, with people she couldn't recall seeing. She checked her trunk quickly: everything was still there, even the sunflower. But this was a new room, a new level of the dorms altogether.

Her first move is to run to the graveyard floor, check around for a tombstone with her name on it. And clear as day, there it is. Someone's even gone to the trouble of placing a flower on it. Hmm. Remilia wonders how long she's been gone, if anything's happened to Sakuya, or Meiling, or any of the others.

Well. There's one way to find out. And that involves flying around the dorm rooms like a crazy person, checking every single girl's room for people she'd recognize. ]

[ When that was done, Remilia decided to see what these new floors were about. She'd heard there were at least three new blocks, so that must mean there is a whole fucking lot of new ground to cover. And she's getting right on it. ]

(You can meet Remi in either the dorms or any one of the new floors, for the latter, just please specify where! c:)

As I said... curiosity is a trait we seem to share. I am always a touch on the curious side.

[septette]

[ Remilia giggles just a bit. ]

Touche.

I'm probably going to see who's still here, find out how long, exactly, I was gone.

[true_noir]

A simple enough plan. If you had associates before, they are bound to be here as well. I would accompany you, but time with those close should be shared there. I would not want to interrupt.

[One on one interactions were also easier to control the flow of.]

[septette]

I'm only wondering if the Tower decided it would be amusing to take them away during the time I was gone.

[ Another shrug. ]

Perhaps I'll see you around. [ Should, seeing as the morgue floor is now a shared environment, hoohoohoo. ]

[true_noir]

If the tower is anything like the goddess I once knew... I would not be surprised if one or two were gone. But I would say it is likely, yes.

[septette]

Goddess? [ The only ones she can think of are Kanako and Suwako, from up the mountain. But she didn't they had the power to spirit people away...did they? ]

[true_noir]

[She chuckled and tapped her lips, smile curling upwards at that reaction. It wasn't the first time.]

This is not the first time my corpse has been dragged to a world full of strangers and revived for the amusement of some strange, surreal creature. Here, administrators.

There? A demented goddess of sex named Atia who imprisoned or resurrected many. I once served her brother, a god of death.

[septette]

Hein, so you're from another nexus as well? [ Remilia laughs, a bit triumphantly. She'd not been able to think of another term for these worlds like the Tower and the Facility, a place where people of different histories and worlds were forced to endure together. But the feeling of seeing another who knew the strange feeling was good, almost satisfying.

The second part just makes her raise an eyebrow. ]

...ah.

[true_noir]

Nexus? I like that term. It has... an officious feel to it. I might just use that again, thank you.

Heh. I somehow imagine you would have reacted much the same way most did to that place. It was... well, when you're in a nexus ruled by a goddess of sex, what else should you expect? At least having collars was nothing new to me.

[septette]

Collars I'm familiar with. Strangled by them, electrocuted by them, decapitated by them, oh...pray, did this goddess use them in punishments as well?

[true_noir]

Two weeks. Choked like a noose unless we had sex. Quite simple, really, and she would torment us with various bits of games involving the obvious. Death brought one to my lord, who sent them back after exacting payment in memories or what was precious.

It is eerie the similarities and yet the differences, is it not?

[septette]

Charming.

A refusal and loss system seems to be common in these places.

[true_noir]

Yes. They like to ensure we are under their control. It does not even matter if the denizens of the tower are telling the truth of our former worlds. Here is where we are, and little games like this... [She tapped the grave] Seem a trifle silly at times.

It really does not matter to me much. I am dead... and they have left me more than enough bait to keep me active here.

[septette]

It doesn't seem like these people care much about respecting the dead.

[true_noir]

No... only my master ever did, but he was a neutral party to all affairs. Death gods concern themselves only with their role and the respect their place is accorded. He was bound by contract, and those are to be honored.
