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.

[Aqua smiled a little more, giving Kairi's shoulder a reassuring squeeze before letting go.]

Exactly.

[There were the kind of parents that would always give their children (pseudokids or not) things that wouldn't make much of a difference in their lives, there were others that would and pray they never had to use them. In their worlds, however... it was different. Both when they first met and now, both gifts she'd given were for protection. Things she knew Kairi would need, just as she did.

Aqua never removed her wayfinder from around her neck since she left the Darkness last time, preferring to keep it close to her heart at all times.]

I should go find Naminé before the barrier clears; she was still feeling a little weak from her tournament injuries and went to sit down.

[She smiles at her Master, interlocking her fingers together in front of her.]

I'll be back in a bit, don't do anything fun without me!

Mm. It's understandable. [Still, to be weak like that in a place like this... She'll definitely be casting Curaga or something when Kairi does find her.]

You have five minutes.

[Yep. She's teasing.]

Got it!

[She does a small two fingered salute, expression amused as she weaves into the crowd to find her other.]
