[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

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko smiled and scratched her head.]

Oh, don't worry about it! It's your first day here, so it's a lot to take in. Don't worry about it.

[shortafewcircuits]

You must be friends with one of the boys, right?

[She can't think of any other reason Tohko would go out of her way to approach her and then comfort her like that.]

[tohko_amano]

[The other reason would be that Tohko just liked to help out newcomers.]

I'm friends with both of them..but you know, even if I wasn't, I still would have talked with you.

[shortafewcircuits]

You wouldn't have recognised me as a Waver, though.

[She can't help finding amusement in that. Waver lets out a small laugh, playing with the cover of the book she'd been reading.]

We could start our own band. "The Three Wavers" or something equally silly.

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko couldn't help but chuckle a little.]

No, but I still would have liked to help you..and I have a friend who was an idol in her universe, if you ever want to get that idea off the ground!

[shortafewcircuits]

I'm glad! I think we can be good friends.

[And if there's anything Waver will need, it's that. She giggles again at the suggestion, trying to imagine it.]

I can sing a little and play the violin and piano, but I don't know that the boys would have any musical talent. The old codger seems to have a different family background than I do, at least.

[tohko_amano]

Hopefully we can! Friends are always a great thing to have here.

[Okay, another chuckle as Tohko pictures the Mercury Maid trying to play the guitar.]

It's great that you can do that..and I think the other two Wavers would have more skill with magic than music.

[shortafewcircuits]

Some talent with magecraft is a requirement for a Waver, I'd think. I can't imagine what life would be like without it.

[tohko_amano]

It probably would be an odd universe where you didn't know anything about magic..but I do know that the other two are good at video games.

[shortafewcircuits]

There are video games here?

[Those were the most magical of words. It's almost as if sparkles have lit in the girl's eyes.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko saw the lights go off in Waver's eyes and smiled at that. Some things in universes never changed. It seemed that Waver's love of video games was one of them.]

There are, actually, in the fourteenth floor. I'm terrible at them, but I'll play with you there, if you want.

[shortafewcircuits]

There's only one way to get better, after all! I'd be delighted to help you~

[She's starting to think maybe this whole experience won't be completely terrible!]

[tohko_amano]

[The Tower wasn't all bad..but when the Administrators decided to experiment, they experimented. And Ruana was something out of a Lovecraftian nightmare.]

Alright then! I'm sure it would be fun to play against you..I'm not sure what game we should play though.

[shortafewcircuits]

[Alas, poor innocent Waver has yet to really experience the Tower's darker nature. Being told and seeing it are different things. Even so, talking about games provides a nice distraction.]

I suppose it depends on what they have available. I didn't even know there was a room like that in the first place.

[tohko_amano]

[That they do..plus, Tohko was the type to face the worse of everything and keep going, hoping things would turn out better. At least, hoping for as long as she could.]

Well, if you want, I could take you to that floor, and you could have a look around. There's quite a few shelves with different types of games, so you might find something you like.

[shortafewcircuits]

I think I'd like to explore today, but soon we should go together. I'd like that.

[tohko_amano]

So would I, really. Maybe we could pull the other two Wavers to play with us too and make it a huge tournament?

[shortafewcircuits]

That does sound like a lot of fun! We should make a day of it.

[tohko_amano]

We should! It would be a lot of fun, which is something everyone needs in this Tower. I'm not sure when we should do it..but I'm always ready whenever you three are!

[shortafewcircuits]

I may have to convince the old codger that he actually likes me first.

[tohko_amano]

I'm sure he doesn't hate you..and you know, he's not that old. In this place, thirty-five is actually pretty young, considering who else is here.

[shortafewcircuits]

No, I don't imagine he does. And I'm sixteen; thirty is ancient. I can't even picture what I'll be like at twenty!

[tohko_amano]

You'll have longer hair, for one thing, and grow a bit..and I'm eighteen, but I can still say that thirty isn't that old. After all, there are people here who are three hundred and only look to be about thirty. And there are people here even older than that who look to be about twenty.

[shortafewcircuits]

...Well at least they age well.

[And then she pauses, making small, thoughtful sound.]

I don't think I'd like to grow my hair long. My brother tangles it up when he combs it.

[tohko_amano]

..They don't age at all. At least, some don't.

[Tohko then gave Waver a small smile.]

You could make a ponytail of it. I bet it would look cute like that..or a braid.
