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.

I see...

[There was something behind it, a pain that she wanted to ask about, but she doesn't voice it. Instead, she nods faintly and memorizes those two names.]

Something did seem... off about her, but... [Maybe it was because she clung to the shared dream between her, Terra, Riku, and so many others, but-] --the way Philemon worded it, it sounds more like the one who we're after has only taken shelter here. Tough he did say we needed to be ready to face what "they" had in store with us.

[Though the fact that here are some of their friends here... She's very concerned for them.] We need to be ready.

[personal profile] princessofheart 2013-02-10 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[She wasn't exactly ready to tell you about it yet anyways, so it was all for the best that she chose not to comment. Maybe someday, Aqua.

Kairi nods along with her comment, brow scrunched.]


Looks like it's time to start training again, huh?
destinedwaters: (worry ❧ you're screaming)

[personal profile] destinedwaters 2013-02-10 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Aqua would be ready to listen when she was ready, that much was certain. Still, she nods as well.]

That it is. Though, I fear what we faced before may have only been preparation for what's to come with what you said before.

[Battles never got any easier.]
princessofheart: (☀ hand on heart worriedly)

[personal profile] princessofheart 2013-02-10 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well, they won't have the same control over us that they do over those they've taken captive in the Tower; that we have on our side, at least. I am a little worried that we have no way of contacting home, though... or anyone else stuck here with us, for that matter. The network is completely borked, and I wouldn't really suggest taking a look unless you like having nightmares.
destinedwaters: (shock ❧ so loud and clear)

[personal profile] destinedwaters 2013-02-10 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
...Unfortunately, I'm already used to nightmares.

[She's trapped in one, metaphorically speaking, back "home" in their own worlds, and she knows it. Though she stops for a second, and like that... An idea seems to have formed.]

..."-use the power of your bonds, and your Persona..."

[Kairi, your Master had a useful idea.]


Some Intel users can use theirs to communicate with others.
princessofheart: (☀ ponder)

[personal profile] princessofheart 2013-02-10 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
...!

[You just might be onto something, Aqua. Now she was rather glad she had taken the time to get a new Persona from the Velvet Room... an intel one, to be specific.]

There's gotta be at least a couple of Intel users among us. We can all coordinate and keep in touch through our abilities!!
destinedwaters: (determined ❧ and you tried to)

[personal profile] destinedwaters 2013-02-10 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[And Aqua was glad she always had this ability. Even before she Awakened to the Persona, she'd been able to faintly hear her friend's voices. Now it was only stronger.]

Exactly! And I know I've been able to for months, so...

[Be right back, Kairi. Your Master has an announcement of her own to make.]
princessofheart: (♥ heehee <3)

[personal profile] princessofheart 2013-02-10 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
[and then kairi follows after you shortly after to continue the conversation in that other thread!!]
