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, Zelda... Aqua smiles faintly, far too understanding.]

Would you like me to help? I awoke to mine relatively early, so...

[She also has to train R&R Seal, sob. At least she knows how?]

I don't think it would hurt to talk to others though, just in case.

... That would be greatly appreciated, if it is not too much trouble.

[It's nice that the other is being so understanding, but she still feels a bit awkward asking for help. It's not really something she's accustomed to, outside of Link. Still, she bows slightly in gratitude, nodding.]

I will do what I can.
destinedwaters: (bow ❧ but can't apologize)

[personal profile] destinedwaters 2013-02-10 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. Don't worry about it; it isn't any trouble at all.

[Aqua would do anything for her friends, even complete strangers. She smiles faintly, bowing her head as well.]

We all will. Together.
sageprincess: (Requiem of Spirit)

[personal profile] sageprincess 2013-02-12 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Together. Hah, now isn't that a weird concept.]

... I am not accustomed to working in tandem with others in situations such as these, so I ask that you please forgive me should I slip up in some way.
destinedwaters: (acceptance ❧ I'm still alive)

[personal profile] destinedwaters 2013-02-12 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Only if you forgive me if I mess up, too. [She was not kidding about the practicing alone thing when they first met, Zelda... :c]
sageprincess: (Clever words)

[personal profile] sageprincess 2013-02-12 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[How do we people, Master Aqua? :c]

... That is a deal I am willing to make, yes.
destinedwaters: (hopeful ❧ and blue skies)

[personal profile] destinedwaters 2013-02-13 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[I remember the basics, but we'll relearn together. :c]

Then let's both do our best. [She smiles faintly. Badass mages + protag and angel team, goooooo.

And to be safe, she shares with Zelda what she learned about the safer floors.]
