well this is a familiar situation
Characters: Robin and you!
Setting: Various floors.
Format: Doesn't matter, but I'll be starting off with brackets.
Summary: A new arrival decides to do one of the things she does best and observe her new location.
Warnings: Newcomer being a newcomer. Also, uh, possible spoilers for everything up to the penultimate chapter of Fire Emblem: Awakening. Possible because she's not the type to blurt it out, but it may show up in her thoughts.
[1-13]
[This isn't the first time this has happened to her, and it likely won't be the last. Waking up in a new location with no memories of how she got there...boy did that bring back memories.
That said, this time seemed to be a lot worse. For one, she was in some kind of jumpsuit; for two, she was supposed to be back with the Shepherds! A quick study of her surroundings finds a chest nearby; opening it, she finds her clothes, and she shrugs on her coat quickly. It's familiar, it's comforting, she'll at least look something like decent. Hey, even she could be a little self-conscious sometimes, right?
Now to figure out where she...ah. Notes. Very good, at least she could get some sense of her bearings here. One explaining...life in a tower? Right then. She didn't get what that had to do with her. Maybe the other note would-
"Your world has been destroyed. I saved you. Let's all be happy here."
..........Roommates, do you mind rebooting the new arrival? She's basically just staring at the note as if, well, her world ended.
great gods she was right all along oh gods no no no]
[Cafeteria]
[Ah yes, that place all newcomers must go, with the food that all newcomers must eat. Robin's actually okay with it; yeah, it's not the best stuff ever, but it's edible at least. That's better than she does - unless you're not human, that is. It's a funny thing; she's really bad at cooking for humans, but folks who aren't human tend to think she's a goddamn gourmet chef.
Either way, this food really could be worse - but maybe it's the shock of the situation that makes it seem so to her.]
[Floor Three - Library 1]
[Miriel would be so happy to see this...is what she thinks at first, but a few minutes of poking around tells her that maybe Miriel would only just be content that there is a library in here. It's terribly incomplete. No history books, absolutely nothing about where she's ended up...no, Miriel would probably not be happy about that.
However, there are some informative books - machinery beyond the ken of her world and so on - and Robin picks out one at random, sits down in a chair, and begins reading.
Turns out it's a book on tactics. She's gonna be here for a while.]

Re: Floor Three!
[none at all I'm just this awesome]Battlefield tactics? I didn't know this library had any books like that, are you some kind of soldier?
[This probably shouldn't strike her as such a big surprise, and she knows the subject usually isn't a happy one for most people. But at the same time if she's from a war too, then there's something she can relate to at least.]
So... you had a war back home too huh?
no subject
[Her smile fades just a bit, over to something a bit more serious.]
Yeah, we did. First it was against the Theocracy of Plegia, then the Empire, and now...well, now we have to take out a dragon that's trying to destroy the world. Sounds crazy, I know.
no subject
[And yet she couldn't help but be darkly amused at how much that reminded her of home. It would have sounded crazy to anyone else, but after fighting her own Empire and then Formortis...]
I can believe it. I'm a soldier from the Grado Empire, except I spent most of that time fighting against it when it went mad and turned on the rest of the world. From there we ended up fighting the king of all monsters, and... it's complicated.
[But at least this girl could probably understand, it sounded like she'd been in one hell of a war herself.]
Oh yeah, my name's Amelia. What's yours?
no subject
Hm. [There's a brief smile.] We also ended up with a few defectors from the Theocracy of Plegia in our army. Though, admittedly, it was less that they defected because the war was wrong, and more because they simply didn't want to be ordered around.
[At least in Tharja's case. She's not too sure about Henry, but then who is?]
It's nice to meet you, Amelia. I'm Robin.
Sorry for the slow! @_@
[Alright well, Robin seemed friendly enough so far. And even if they weren't from the same world it seemed like they had enough in common to understand where the other might be coming from. And that means a new friend! Something that causes her mood to visibly brighten.]
I don't think I've seen you around here before either... are you new here?
