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.

Atsuro clears the smoke from his lungs with one hacking gasp before responding.

"Yeah, fine! ...Just. Maybe we should listen to what they say for now before we try anything else. We're in unknown territory here."

The metal wolf and his mater loosen up a little bit, she clears her throat.

"I haven't really been anywhere familiar in a while. And I really don't like people screwing with me this much. Are you from Hinato-re?"
otakuro: (Surprise)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-02-09 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Hinoto-ri."

A short pause.

"Yeah, I think we all are. ...Were you new to the town before we were dropped here?"

Way to correct her jerk. Consider yourself on the list.

"I've been in the city about a month. Aside from the personas and the initial dream it seemed normal."
otakuro: (Sad)

"Haah..."

Atsuro gives a small shrug.

"I mean... as far as terrorist attacks go, I guess that wasn't abnormal. ...But weird things happen in the city, too. ...I guess this is supposed to be one of them."

"Possibly"

She put her hand on one of the walls, to feel if the blood on it was real or just paint.

"I wonder where in the city this place is?"
otakuro: (Surprise)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-02-09 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Are you sure we're still in the city?"

Atsuro pauses for a moment.

"It seems... off. And Philemon said we were traveling through space and time, right?"

Space and... time. ...There wasn't any way this was Hinoto-Ri in a different time, was there?

"...Anyway, we can still summon our Persona, right?"

He will gesture towards Natsuki's wolf, which happened to... not be her Persona.

"Philemon? The man in the mask? I guess he did. I'm still a bit out of it from whatever happened. If you can summon a persona, though, it should be helpful getting us out. I don't even know if I'm able to yet."





otakuro: (Embarrassed)

"..."

Eye-flicker down towards the wolf. ...Eye-flicker back up.

"Er. ...Then this is..."
likethewolf: (Serious)

"That's Duran, my child. He cam with my from my world. I don't think he counts as a persona."
otakuro: (Surprise)

Of all the words he would have thought would follow 'my', 'child' wasn't one of them. Atsuro tries not to stare too hard although his eyes do blink rather quickly.

"Your... child?"

Maybe that word meant something different in her world.

"...Biological...?"
