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.
tentacletrainer: (It was a lovely dream.)

A lovecraftian horror you say?

Shouting isn't going to help you any. [[Well. The admins sure did a number on these people apparently. This one seems to be in dire need of assistance, might as well start here.

Here, mister scaredy cat, have a teenage girl with a purple fox like creature approach you.]]
If you would calm down a moment, I would be more than willing to help explain things.
primordial: (the once and future king)

YES HELLO B3

Ah!

[The appearance of the girl does surprise him, and he lets out a slight cry,, before narrowing his eyes and looking her over, as well as shooting a suspicious look at the purple fox creature.]

Y-you won't hurt me, right?
tentacletrainer: interested (I don't believe we're in Johto anymore.)

Ehehe

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2013-02-09 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not. We're both captives in this tower. Hurting each other would be completely counter productive for both of us, wouldn't it? Unless you plan on causing harm to me.

[[Rose didn't notice the look, but the fox did and narrowed her own eyes in return. Guile is watching you.]]
primordial: (just heed the voices in your head)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-02-09 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, I couldn't cause anyone harm if I tried, really, please don't hurt me...

[And a shudder of a sigh as he rubs at his forehead, looking away from the fox to her.]

Why should I believe you...what proof do you have?
