A few minutes before anything happens, Ruana's voice rings out over the Tower's intercom--it manages to be louder than anything the residents happen to be doing. "Hey, everyone, there's something exciting going on at floor fifty-six! Go make sure they don't get themselves killed!"


You arrive, stepping or tumbling, in a surgical suite. It looks abandoned, with dust collecting on the table and floors. The lights flicker, and for a moment blood dripping off the table, puddling on the floor--but no, the lights are back, and surely that was your imagination. It's quiet, eerily so, but nothing hinders you, and you're free to spread out and explore. There are multiple rooms here, like in any hospital, and it's all a bit confusing. Occasionally the lights flicker, and it's a bit frightening as Things appear that shouldn't exist. Shadowy creatures stitched together and reaching for you, doctors brandishing phantom surgical tools, blood splattering the walls or floor or ceiling, how did it get there--but none are real, and all of them vanish when the lights return. Eventually you find the staircase, spiraling up and down into darkness. Approach it, though, and the thing glitters with a barrier that will push back any attempts at climbing the thing.

A girl, a teenager dressed in red and black, appears. And she does simply appear, inserting herself into the space, nearly pushing it aside to make room in it for where she is now. Her face beams with unconcealed excitement, and her words tumble out on top of themselves. "You can't go there! Yet, I mean. You'd all die!"

The girl steps onto the staircase, passing through the barrier as if it weren't there, and sits on the steps to address everyone. "Hi! I'm Ruana. You didn't show up the normal way, so the Tower can't support you yet. We got this one floor ready when I saw you were coming but, well, the Tower's kind've big, so getting all of them set up is taking a little longer than I thought." She smiles, sheepishly apologetic in a carefree sort of way. "I've got everyone coming here to visit you--or at least they know they can visit you--and I'll have someone bring food up for you. It'll be oatmeal, and oatmeal is super boring, but you have to eat it, okay? Then you can have whatever you want! The cafeteria's down on the first floor if you get hungry. We should have everything ready in a few hours. I've gotta go help with that, so you guys wait here.

"Don't worry, the monsters can't get to this floor as long as that barrier is up."

And then she's gone, blinking out of existence. The barrier will remain for three hours.

Well, this weird person in a cloak and gas mask staring at the ground looks strange enough to fit is with all the other weird goings on. Seems like a good enough candidate for this 17 year old to point her guns at and try to extract some information out of.

"You! Stop right there!"

Wow, not okay! That 17 year old will be in for a bit more then expected - his hands draw up and he's pointing twin magnums back at her, which she may or may not have noticed in the holsters around his waist, along with several other pistols.

Ferrus was not being caught with his hands in the air here.

Sorry about that.

"Why?" Simple response, given they're both pointing guns at each other.

That went less as expected. In hindsight people dressed as soldiers do usually tend to be armed. Oh well, she can think about that as she fires off two shots and dives into a spare examination room.

Hey there that's not okay.

He's going to move to avoid the shots, diving to the left to avoid them before sort of... staring at that doorway into the spare examination room.

Should he just flashbang and leave or let her try and continue, is the question.

The room Natsuki had jumped into contained a lot more dead end than she was comfortable with. She waited a moment, since the soldier didn't seem to be either firing wildly or sounding alarms. Maybe she had been a bit too hasty. There were other people from Hinoto-ri here.

"WAIT! Are you from Hinoto-ri?"

It seems like a chance worth taking. If it didn't pan out, she still had Duran up her sleeve..
technomaturgist: ('it is bitter- bitter' he answered)

"Yes?"

Girl, please. Hopefully, this meant he didn't need to use that flashbang. He wasn't sure how many he'd really need, this month...

"Perhaps. Would you like to discuss as much from here, or face to face?"

He was fine with either, really.
