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.

[ The first thing Mami noticed about her "student" was that she didn't have a collar on. Was she one of the visitors as well? How many Kyokos did that make in total? It had to be at least three. While a collection of Kyokos was a funny idea, she couldn't help but be a bit worried about what's going on. ]

Sadly, the Tower of Animus isn't anything to make light of, nor can I say it's anything like where you guys come from. [ The tower was something awful, but it gave Mami life again. And friends! But it was still pretty awful. ]

[Kyoko frowns at the sight of Mami. She stares at her, daring her to disappear, just as the bloody mess that had welcomed her had. It's been at least a month since she's seen anyone from home, longer since she's seen her old friend. Probably, their reunion won't last either. Not unless she's out of the town for good. And if that's the case...She's just going to wind up by herself again.

Better not to think about that.]


...Yeah, I got that. [She pauses, taking note of the collar Mami is wearing.] What's with the collar?

[ And yet Mami continues to have a smile on her face. A hand reaches up to touch the collar and she shrugs lightly. ] Apparently we need it to survive. That's what the admins said. Taking it off doesn't seem like a good idea.

There's two versions of you here.

Two versions? What?

[She's trying to process that and...failing pretty badly, really.]

What the Hell are talking about?
