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.

[Oh yeah fine. Make him think about it.

He looks to the side a moment, readjusting his glasses as if he actually had a problem with them. A problem that could, actually be fixed just by moving them.]


Yeah. A while ago. He split. Same with Minami.

[She lets out a long, hard sigh. Part of her had really wanted to thank him for what he had done to save the world...the sacrifice he he willingly accepted.]

I'm sorry...

[That, he-- hadn't...expected. His immediate reaction is of course, to look at her with scorn. Was she mocking him?!]

Hah! What're you sorry for?

What? No! [It works better if she just looks back at him narrowing her own eyes really, but she ends up just looking past him as she continues on.]

While we...disagreed on many things...not just me, or you. Strega and SEES in general, in the end he...chose to save us all from Nyx.

I just wanted to thank him for that, that's all.

What...?

[The scorn is almost immediately gone-- and now he's just staring.

He...He'd never heard about this.]


Wh-- What are you talking about?! [His confusion is of course, immediately replaced with anger, but-- it's not the right kind for him. More...panic? Confusion?]

[She realizes...to late of course, that maybe she should have kept that detail to herself.]

I...uh...what's the last memory you have of the city before you come here?

[personal profile] morituramfides 2013-02-13 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, it was-- October? November? Something like that. [He's slightly calmer, but only so he can form a comprehensive reply.]

Aragaki was dead. Chidori was still in your custody.

Shinjiro dead...[Yeah, she remembers that. All too well. For a few seconds, her hand shakes, and her breathing increases. She doesn't want to relive that day, even if it's just in her memories. Forcing it down, she speaks again.]

...then there's a lot to tell. Do you want to hear it?

[He had much less bitter memories about that, thankfully.]

Tell me!

[There was zero hesitation there, and it was a bit too aggressive for someone that was being offered information.]
