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.

...wait. You didn't come here from the game? You were in another universe first? Where was it, what was it like?

[Just how many alternate universe kidnapped duplicates of them are there out there?]

I have been here since Dave's birthday. So a little over two months now.

Yeah. I just got to that other universe from the game, actually. And then I was here. I guess every universe just wants me. [Heh. Okay, probably not at all but still. Honestly she just wishes the powers that be would pick a place for her to stay and keep her there. Sheesh.]

I wasn't there for too long so I don't know. I did get an awesome new power though. Something called a "persona". [She didn't know anything about it and hadn't bothered to try anything with it yet, though.]

Huh, not too long, then... but long enough to know a few things, I guess. There's no known way out, right?
ghostytrainer: (whoops! my bad!)

Nope. No way out. Trust me, I wouldn't be here having this conversation with you if there was. [A beat as he takes a moment to go over that in his head.] N-Not that I don't want to be talking to you or anything, don't get me wrong! It's just that I also came here from another universe other than the game and it was really nice and I want to get back there asap.

It wasn't the same place as you though. I've never heard of anything called a persona before.
