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.

*cough*

Great, the weirdo from the TV and the bar. At least he seems fairly benign in this environment.

"I'll be fine. It doesn't look like this barrier is going down very easily."

"Ferrus, our techpriest, ascertained as much, yes. I advise patience, but readiness. Look to your weapons and have them ready."

I sure hope he isn't around yet because I'm fighting him in an alternate timeline!

Natsuki summons her guns on Gravy's suggestion.

"I will. How long have you been awake? Have you found any alternate ways out?"
greyerrant: (There is only war)

I'll assume that takes place after Garvi saw ferrus then, and went off to check on others.

"Only a few moments. And not yet. I suspect we may beimprisoned here. But it would hardly be the first time for me if that is the case."

He growls slightly, not liking it very much.

"That girl did say we'd be released shortly, but it probably isn't too smart to trust what our captors tell us. Duran!"

Wold disappears with a quick flash of green light.

"Maybe there is something in here that can help us."

"I'll have a look around, then. WHo else do you know here?" He removes his helmet, clearly scenting the air.
likethewolf: (Too Cool)

"I haven't really seen anyone else."

She's not going to admit that she work up in a rage and ran straight towards the voice and started firing, but that's neither here nor there.

"I imagine there are probably more people from the city."

"Most definitely. I intend to gather and organize them for mutual defense. WE've got a task here, as I understand it, the sooner we finish it, the sooner we can leave."

He'll allow her that point of pride, he's been enraged himself and done some stupid things in the past.

"Right. I'll go look around a bit and see if there is anything useful beyond shadows here."

"Good luck, and be careful. You see anything really important, let others know."

He looks at Duran for a moment and says. "Interesting servitor."
