[OPEN] MAGICAL MIDGET ADVENTURES... STARTO!

[shortafewcircuits]

Characters: [AU7] Waver Velvet, OPEN
Setting: Dormitory floors, fourth floor, random floors.
Format: Action
Summary: Waver searches for her family, sulks around as Wavers do, and then explores a little.
Warnings: May include monsters etc. I'll update accordingly.


Dormitories

[Waver doesn't want to believe what she's been told. It would be so much easier to tell herself this is a prank, or she's being held for ransom, or... something. And that's why, as soon as she's able, the magus wanders the dormitory floors with only one goal on her mind...]

Brother! Brother? Derry! Where have you gone? Derry...!

[The girl's search for her sibling is more than a little frantic, and she'll stop to ask anyone if they've seen him, whether she recognises them or not.]


Floor 4

[After giving up her search, Waver can be found sulking in an out-of-the-way chair with her bowl of oatmeal and a small pile of books pilfered from the library. Every now and then she makes a note of something on her phone, but for the most part she just looks like your average Waver, trying to distract herself.]


???

[Eventually she'll get bored with reading and attempt to go exploring. She's not daft enough to leave the stairs on any floor that looks suspicious, but sometimes things don't go according to plan, do they? It only occurs to her after some time that she should probably rush back to her room before nightfall, if what she heard was true...]

Comments

Dormitories

[scentofmakai]

[One of your neighbors is hanging around. And upon being asked, the green-haired boy shakes his head.]

What does he look like? Maybe I've seen him around.

[shortafewcircuits]

He's tall and he's got hair that looks like it takes offence to being combed and he's got a mole under one eye, here.

[She pokes at her face, holding her other hand well over her head to try and give an idea as to his height.]

Dormitories

[heavenscorpse]

[On a lower floor, V/V approaches her before even before being asked anything.]

Are you okay? Is it your first day here?

[shortafewcircuits]

...I'm that obvious, am I?

[Waver scratches her cheek with a sheepish laugh. Her papa would probably scold her, if he saw her being so emotional like this.]

Library

[kindofademon]

[Just like any other Waver, you say?]

Hey, Waver. Nice to see you again.

[If Waver doesn't immediately try to kill him for murdering "him" a while back, he'll be surprised.]

[shortafewcircuits]

[Waver blinks up at him and tilts her head slightly, brows furrowing in confusion.]

I'm sorry, have we met?

Library

[grancenturio]

[It's Nessiah's first day here as well, but after getting settled in, he's here with a bowl of oatmeal, having had the same idea as Waver.]

Excuse me, may I borrow this one once you're done with it?

[shortafewcircuits]

Oh, you can take it if you'd like. It'll be a while before I get to it myself, I think.

??/Meadow Floor

[alephbet]

[It's a beautiful floor, one that doesn't look like it would hurt to stop off at. And it's not, really. The fact that Aleph is locked sword-to-claw in combat with a demon that looks like this? Nothing to worry about, just a little training. Not that Waver could know, seeing it from the stairway.]

[shortafewcircuits]

[It does look like such a pleasant place, until she notices the man fighting off that monster. Waver debates offering to help him. She's never fought monsters before, and she has no clue if her magecraft will even work here...]

U-Um! Are you going to be alright?

??/Floor 87

[withak]

[This looks like a beautiful meadow floor that would be a great place to stop and rest, but...

Katsuya catches Waver thinking about going off the stairs and speaks up.] Don't stay on this floor for more than a minute. The poppies make you fall asleep until the monsters come at night.

[shortafewcircuits]

[She jumps, having not expected the voice, and blinks at him.]

Wizard of Odd And Terribly Unpleasant Murder, then? That sounds like a production I'd rather not be part of.

...Thank you.

[STAYING FIRMLY ON THOSE STAIRS NOW.]

dormitories

[fionnuisce]

Hey, calm down. What're youuuuu...

[UH.]

[WHAT]

[shortafewcircuits]

How can you expect me to just calm down!? I've been abducted and I can't find my brother!!

[dusknoir]

D-derry?!

[Ooh. Sorry, Waver, looks like you've caught Morty here while he was in the middle of... spacing out? Apparently. He had been walking along with a blank look in his eyes, so when a frantic girl ran up to him and started screaming about people he didn't know, the response wasn't exactly instantaneous.]

...uh. [Wait. Manners.] Excuse me?

[shortafewcircuits]

Oh, um, sorry.

[She didn't mean to startle him. ... If she startled him, that is. Waver's not quite sure that she did.]

I'm looking for my brother.

Dormitories (As with the Test Drive, I may be a little slow for a bit...)

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid isn't on the same floor as she is, but he is passing close enough to hear that someone is obviously upset and in need of help. So, as usual for him, he begins to move toward the sound. When he gets close enough to make out her words, though, he freezes.

Derry.

The nickname makes his heart skip a beat. Not long ago another had called him by that name. And that person had a daughter, who if brought here, would most likely start looking for her brother Derry first thing.

Only seconds pass and he's standing behind her on the floor. She hasn't noticed him yet, and he takes that time to calm his own rapidly beating heart when he confirms that she is just who he thinks she is.

Sola-Ui's daughter is here. His...sister in an odd twisted universe, second magic be damned sort of way.]

Waver...

(NP! :3)

[shortafewcircuits]

[Waver whirls around at the sound of his voice, opening her mouth to give him a very spirited scolding for worrying her like that!]

Derry, yo--

[And then she stops, her expression clearly confused as she stares up at him. He's unmistakeably Derry, but at the same time...]

--re different?

Fourth floor

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko, having finished her library duties in the third floor, was starting to wander up the stairs to the nineteenth floor when she saw Waver sitting in a chair, reading some books. For a moment, she smiled..until she saw the oatmeal this Waver was eating and noticed that it was a girl. So, this was another version of Waver that Zo had managed to bring.

Sighing to herself, Tohko approached Waver.]

Pardon me, but are you a new resident here?

[shortafewcircuits]

[Waver glances up from her book, having not expected to be approached out of the blue like that. At least it made sense while she was flailing about before and... ah, wait. The oatmeal probably gave her away, didn't it?]

I am, actually. You're not, I assume?

Floor 4

[nonacquiescent]

[Of course another Waver would have the same sort of idea. Although he'd already eaten, and the nutrition bars weren't exactly great for snacking on. But he does come to the lounge with a few books in hand. Books on magecraft from the Tohsaka library.

He stops when he spots the other sitting across from him. It's not just that she looks familiar, it's that she looks exactly like him. But he hadn't heard of three instances of the same person before, two, sure, but even that was strange enough. So he ends up just gawking without saying a word.]

[shortafewcircuits]

A photograph would last longer. Though, I'd have to conclude you're a creeper and box your ears if you tried to take one, so I don't recommend it.

[She doesn't even look up. It's just annoying that she's being stared at for no apparent reason.]

[marriedthebloke]

[Sola-ui is in the dormitory hallways when she hears a familiar voice.]

...Waver?

[In a place like this one, a familiar voice is strange because it is familiar.]

[She slowly turns around. When she sees that the face too is familiar, she rushes over.]

Waver!

[She calls out, louder this time.]

[shortafewcircuits]

Mum!

[Hope she wanted an armful of daughter, because she's getting one.]

Mum! I don't know what happened, but suddenly I woke up in a strange room and I couldn't find any of you--!

[vermicompost]

[It's not in Kariya to ignore a girl's frantic cries, and he heads toward her, concerned. She's probably a new arrival. He knows how disorienting and frightening the Tower can be at first. He calls out from behind her.]

I don't know any Derry, but maybe I can help you...?

[Then he sees her face and trails off. She looks so much like him, it's impossible not to notice the resemblance. He doesn't have a sister, does he?]

[shortafewcircuits]

If you wouldn't mind, I...

[And then she recognises this man, though for an entirely different reason. Waver backs up a little, suddenly extremely flustered.]

You're that stalker from before!

Floor 10

[bowandblade]

[While he did not generally allow himself to sit in nostalgia, Gilgamesh found himself with many opportunities to do just that within the Tower. It was surreal, both tiring and calming, to stand on the floors of with flowers, with plains, away from the modern civilization he had become immersed in with the Holy Grail War.

The particular floor he found himself on was like an aquarium -- but it lacked the boundaries that he would expect, giving the entire floor feeling of being on the ocean floor, surrounded by sea life.

He whistles idly as he inspects the exotic fish, watching them fan their fins and puff up defensively as he peers closely at them.]

[shortafewcircuits]

[The floor is fascinating and terrifying at the same time. What stops the fish from eating people? Or crushing them to death? And yet, it's so pretty. Waver is so wrapped up in her thoughts that she doesn't realise he's there until her mind gently informs her that fish can't whistle.]

...? Mister Gilgamesh?

[His hair is different and he's dressed surprisingly well, but she'd know Enkidu's shut-in friend anywhere.]
