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.

[Well, when she's kind of become the unofficial head of communications simply by speaking up and pointing out what needed to be done, she makes it a point to know as many as she can.

Plus, she does have a sense of humor when she wants to.]


I know. And it's nice to meet you. [...] Hm... Maybe not, but I was involved with the Visitor's Cup.
drakenguard: (mildly disgruntled)

Visitor's Cup...? Oh, the tournament.

[Yamato's tone flattens a little]

I didn't follow that fiasco. There were more...pressing matters.
destinedwaters: (disapproval ❧ no violence)

[personal profile] destinedwaters 2013-02-11 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Probably a good thing... I can't say I'm all pleased with how it was handled...

[Or the fact of how the media is treating it and filtering what happened.]
drakenguard: (hmph)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2013-02-11 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, the mayor's 'ingenious' plan.

[Yamato's disdain clearly said what he thought about the mayor's 'plan' for that. Let's spread a rumour that the leader will be there and have the visitors be there to act as free bodyguards! Yeah, we all saw how that went down]

But, past is past. Hopefully they will be better prepared for the next event they throw.
destinedwaters: (peace ❧ just sunshine)

[personal profile] destinedwaters 2013-02-11 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Well what do you know; kindred spirits in that regard. pretty accurate, tbh]

We can only hope. Still... Let's show them how it's done here, hm?
drakenguard: (DAT SMIRK)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2013-02-11 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Let's wish each other luck on the upcoming investigation, mm?

[Because they're gonna need it. He just has a Feeling]
destinedwaters: (smile ❧ I'm still alive)

[Aqua nods.] The best of luck.

[She taps her own temple; a place that seems to be favored when evoking.]

I'll keep in touch.

[Yamato nods in acknowledgement, and without another word, turns on his heel and strides off. Welp.]
