Every day's great at your Animus~

[justiceinheaven]

Characters: Nanako and you~
Setting: Various floors; see below.
Format: Whatever you chose, I'll match.
Summary: Now that the weather has calmed down and everything's back to normal, Nanako decides to do a little exploring on her own! ...or at least, with some parental figure trailing behind her.
Warnings: Possible amounts of extreme adorable.

Dorm Room 3-15
[Nanako scrunched her face up at the contents of her trunk, pulling out the costume she had been forced to wear on Halloween. She had been afraid to even look at it after what happened to her big brother, but... well, she couldn't hate it, or hate the character it represented, no matter how much the memories hurt. Her brother wouldn't want her to give up something she loved because of that, right?]

[It took a moment, but she pulled on the cape, and the cap, and held up her special spyglass toy.]

Magical Detective, Loveline, is on the case!

[She pushed the button and...]

I'll pump you full of holes!

[...these toys can never say what you want them to say.]

Floor Eight
[Mazes are seriously amazing.]

[Nanako's never been in one, let alone by herself, but she knows the basics: keep your hand on the wall, don't try to backtrack, stuff like that. She's hoping that the maze will lead to some kind of secret treasure -- something she could give to her brother to cheer him up -- but it only ends up looping her around back to the stairs...]

[She let out a disappointed noise, pressing the button on her spyglass:]

It's a secret!

[...nope, still not cooperating.]

Floor Fourteen
[Nanako can be found poking around here, curious to see if there's any games she's familiar with from home. No dice, of course, but that wasn't going to stop her from taking a break if someone came in, wanting to play something with her.]

Floor Twenty-Five
[Nanako likes this floor, but then again, so do a lot of people it seems.]

[She can be found sprawled out here, taking a break from her exploring to relax and enjoy the nice weather. There needs to be more floors like this.]

Floor Twenty-Eight
[Nanako is sitting at one of the pianos on this floor, looking over the keys. She hadn't had the chance to take lessons yet at home, though she really wanted to... After all, she had vague memories of her mom playing the piano when she was really young.]

[After a moment, the piano started playing by itself, and she nearly jumped clear out of her skin. But once she got over her surprise, she started swinging her legs back and forth on the stool, a smile working its way onto her face as she listened.]

Floor Fifty-Four
[Oh boy, it was only a matter of time before Nanako stepped out on a "bad" floor, though she couldn't see why her big brother warned her away from this one. The dolls were very pretty, even if they were a little creepy like this. Would it be wrong for her to take one...? It would be nice to have something to curl up next to at night...]

Floor Seventy-Seven
[It's awhile before Nanako steps off the stairs again; a lot of the other floors seemed really creepy, and she didn't trust them. This one, however? This one looked like it was straight out of the Amagi Inn!]

[...so of course, she was going to take a break and enjoy a bath. Hey, girls need these things every now and then... or at least, she's pretty sure that's what Rise would say.]

Floor Eighty-Four
[Best. Floor. Ever.]

[Nanako ends up spending a lot of time on this floor having fun with the various blocks. Even if you miss her, you'll see her handiwork if you manage to get there before end of day. In fact, one of her little statues may just look like a cartoon-ish head of a certain bowlcut...]

Floor One Hundred and One
[Nanako's really tired by the time she makes it up here... so it's okay for her to take a nap here, right? After all, it reminds her a lot of the Heaven that had been in the TV... you know, with out the scary monsters. It's... really peaceful, and the elevator's there... she should be safe.]

[Right?]

At the Dorm 8|

[risingshepard]

[...Blink blink.

Blink blink.

...Gosh, these kids and their old-fashioned toys, and their cosplays and all that good stuff. Why she feels so old again all of a sudden, she'll never figure out.]

What're you up to, Nanako?

Don't give her that face, Shepard

[justiceinheaven]

[Nanako jumped, clutching her spyglass to her chest. Uh oh... if she told her what she was going to do, she'd probably stop her, or worse, tell her brother. She couldn't have that!]

I'm just... going to go play on the floor with the big meadow.

But sometimes even a good mommy has to be that little bit stern 8|;

[risingshepard]

[That depends on what sort of things you were actually planning for, dear. 8|]

You sure that's all?

But but... D:

[justiceinheaven]

M-mmhmm...

[...she's a terrible liar.]

Floor 84

[notsogrimreaper]

[Woah, this is a pretty weird floor. Ryoji takes a look at his surroundings, confused. Where are the curvy lines? Everything looks so blocky, like the old school games they had at Game Panic.

Aside from that, however, it does seem to be a nice floor. He doesn't see any monsters about, and the now square sun is shining brightly. The trees and everything are nice to, even if that little rock formation looks a little strange...

Wait a second, that looks like Yu!

Ryoji runs forward to get a closer look at the statue, chuckling softly.]

I wonder who made this. It looks just like him!

[Except cartoony and blocky, but he wants to give a compliment in case the artist is still around.]

[justiceinheaven]

[Lucky for you, she is! Nanako pops up from the top of the statue at the familiar voice, a big smile on her face.]

Ryoji!

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji brightens even more upon seeing the young girl. After the recent events in the Tower, Ryoji was starting to worry about her, but it looks like she's been kept safe.]

Nanako-chan! I should have known this was your doing.

floor 14

[looselips]

[Unfortunately, another child has decided that this floor is his domain. When he sees her, he marches right up.]

None of those games are for little girls, so why don't you quit wasting valuable space and go find somewhere else to hang out?

[A very rude child.]

[justiceinheaven]

[Nanako made a face; geeze, there was no need to be that rude...]

Since when are there games for girls and games for guys?

ha ha gosh I'm sorry for him

[looselips]

Oh, I don't know, since just about always. [How much he actually believes this and how much he's saying just to get a reaction is up for debate, but in any case, he does a good job of delivering the line condescendingly.] If it bothers you, you can go cry into your pretty pink bedsheets or something.

Floor 8

[withak]

[Katsuya is also wandering the maze, though Megaten dungeons conventional wisdom has led him to make the same conclusions as Nanako.

He raises an eyebrow at Nanako's outfit when he bumps into her.]

Are you dressed up, miss?

[justiceinheaven]

[Nanako let out a squeak as she was bumped into, holding her spyglass close to her chest as she turned up to him.]

Mmhmm...

[withak]

[Oh, she's shy. He steps back and crouches down so he can get to her level.]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run into you. Can you tell me about your costume?

Floor 8

[hero_of_smiles]

[Hm? Cross had just been on a calming walk when...that sounded like a toy talking.

He takes a few more steps up the stairs when, oh it's a little girl.]

Uh, hey there. Kind of be dangerous walking around on your own don't you think?

[justiceinheaven]

[Nanako turned, looking up to him as she held her spyglass close to her chest.]

...I know.

wow im so late im so so so sorry x-x

[hero_of_smiles]

[He crouches down offering a smile to her.]

Nah, it's all good. Just glad you're safe. But, come on, where's the people looking after you?

[Because bringing up parents would probably be a bad thing here.]

[101]

[miseris_socios]

[Ken's also a little tired, after a long day of fighting monsters and checking floors, so he heads up here too.]

[He sees Nanako, and heads over towards her, sitting nearby.]

... Hey.

[justiceinheaven]

[Nanako's expression brightened, a bit of a small, shy smile coming to her face.]

Hi, Ken-kun.

[miseris_socios]

[He smiles at her, reaching a hand out to put on her shoulder gently.]

How are you doing? I... I like your costume...

Floor 28

[evokingfool]

[Minato sometimes come to this floor to practice, since after a conversation with Kyousuke, he's been picking up the violin again.

He did hear the piano's playing and curiously follows the sound. On this floor, it's either the instruments themselves or someone playing it.

Ah, it's a girl. But she's not playing it.]

...It's a nice song, isn't it?

[justiceinheaven]

[She turned away from the piano at the voice, giving Minato a bit of a shy nod.]

Yeah... I really like it.

[evokingfool]

[He stops at a polite distance from her and the piano.]

Does it have a name?

Floor 14

[cherrygrail]

[ Sakura was doing a bit of exploring herself, being just as new to the tower as Nanako is. She had never played a video game before, but they looked interesting. Though, as soon as she sits down to try, she dies right away having absolutely no instincts on how to play games whatsoever.

Cue Sakura walking up to Nanako. ]

Um, excuse me, miss? Would you mind teaching me how to play?

[justiceinheaven]

Mmm... I could try?

[Nanako looked up at her, a little shy as she was around anyone she didn't know that well. But... well, she seemed nice.]

I don't play that much.

[cherrygrail]

I'd appreciate it.

[ Sakura sits down, ready to listen. ]
