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.

[She winces a little as a twinge of pain causes her still recovering arm to ache. She glances up at the unfamiliar voice, jumping a bit. Her nerves are frayed and her mind still disorganized, making her that much more jumpy.]

Yes... [She isn't sure she should show her weaknesses in such a strange place among even stranger people... She takes a breath and stands, ignoring any aches and pains that protest the movement.]

Were you just brought here as well?

[ Ishtar doesn't try to make the person feel anymore uncomfortable than they did. She is also certain that the person might be injured as well, considering the way they appeared to her. She doesn't make any more to step closer, giving the person the space they need and keeping her hands behind her back.

She's not sure what's going on but she can't leave people injured forever. She might be feeling a bit crappy but that doesn't change her morals. ]


I've been here for some time now. Are you new here then? Usually people who are new here usually ask that or something along those lines.

Are you alright though? You don't look good.

[Some time...? Did she live here? This didn't seem like an appropriate place for anyone to live, though. Where was she?]

New here...? Perhaps... Where ever here is. If you've been here for some time then you would know, yes?

[Her head hurts worse the more she thinks about this. What's even going on...] I'm all right. I just feel very disoriented.

[ There definitely wasn't a good reason for anyone to be in this kind of place, so she could agree with it. ]

Yeah, this is the Tower. It's a weird place with lots of floors and weird things happening.

[ she replied frowning, before glancing still at the young man. ] Do you want me to take you the infirmary or I can heal if you need any healing?

[The Tower? That didn't really answer anything...]

It sounds ominous. [She says that a bit sarcastically. She was only barely getting use to Hinoto-Ri. Now this? Jeez...]

No, that won't be necessary... I'm just reeling a bit from the dream. I'll be all right. [And her injuries she still retained from the attack... but those would ache for awhile, she imagined.] Is there a way to leave this tower?

[ It was the name of the place and that was all there is to it. It wasn't a special place, but probably an explanation of it would be more useful... ]

It's a pretty ominous place. There are things that happen here that aren't so pleasant.

[ She replied giving young boy a serious look. ]

Dream? Alright, if you are certain you're fine. [ A small smile. ] Not at the moment. No one here knows the way out or found a way out yet.
