towerofanimus | Falling from cloud nine

Characters: Lenalee Lee
Setting: Floors 1, 2, 4, 6 and the Elevator
Format: Action.
Summary: Yet another new arrival exploring the area.
Warnings: None? Will change if needed.

Floor Six | Forest
[To be perfectly honest Lenalee was not expecting such an expansive forest to be here. Sure it wasn't entirely a surprise to see some sort of greenery in this place as the Facility had several as well. Anyone around will notice her just standing there near the elevator, taking it all in. She doesn't dare move in further at the moment. Do you interrupt her reverie?]

Floor Four | Glass Room
[There in the middle of the room people will find Lenalee standing motionless. Yet again there was no way out for them. Not a visible one. Trapped yet again when they were so close to freedom. If only they could just break free of these prisons... One of her hands is clenched tight at her side and her hair covers most of her face.]

[Anyone nearby might hear her mutter quietly:] It's not fair.

Floor Two | Infirmary
[This floor was useful to know about. Chances are there are bound to be injuries in the future. And speaking of injuries, Lenalee steps off on this floor to find some disinfectant for her own wounds. For those wandering about this floor they will see her tending to some wounds, some of which require bandaging. There's a particularly bad cut down her arm that's she's attempting to disinfect but it looks like she's having a little difficulty with it.]

Floor One | Cafeteria
[Ah, the food area. Lenalee's especially glad to see that there's an actual kitchen in this place. Maybe that means they'll be able to cook and have big group dinners together -- that is, if there's anyone else from her little family here. She doesn't really explore but instead takes a seat at one of the tables. Here is where she said she'd wait for the Inspector and Emilia, and here is where she'll stay. Doesn't mean Lenalee couldn't do with some company while she waits.]

The Elevator
[In the corner of the elevator one will find one teenaged girl wearing a red dress with black leggings and armwarmers. She looks battered, bruised and a bit dirty. Though Lenalee did hastily pull her hair up into a casual ponytail before leaving the room. What might be strange is a fuzzy little yellow Tribble on her shoulder. It's purring but doesn't seem to have a head - or any limbs at all, actually. There's also another thing with her, it's a small, black creature with a giant eye-like center and a pair of wings nestled on top of her head.]

[Curious thing about Lenalee is that she doesn't get off on any of the floors, choosing instead to stay on the elevator and simply peer into them.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[She certainly hoped so.]

Could you tell me about this place? Or is there a document on the network that explains it that you could point me to?

I think there are maps available of the tower's floors, but to summarize...

This is called the Tower of Animus. Monsters live here and are more frequent during the night, so you should stay on your dormitory floors after dark.

Death is temporary - your new body will be made of recycled parts and only your soul transferred.

Experiments are frequent and sometimes deadly.

There are four administrators, Ruana, Jason, Riki, and Zo. Ruana and Jason are the cruelest. There was a fifth, Dax, but he was killed attempting to protect us.

[She listens intently but Lenalee is not surprised to hear any of it. To her it sounds a lot like the place she just came from so there's not much of a difference.]

Are the administrators here in the Tower with us or are they somewhere out of our reach?

The administrator levels are below the accessible levels of the tower.

So they can get to us but we can't get to them. Do they ever come up to this section of the tower?

[It's good to know so she can keep an eye out in order to avoid them.]

Sometimes. They've done question-and-answer sessions before.

[Ah.]

Where they answer questions or where they ask them?

Where they answer questions. It looks like they can monitor us and have no need to ask us anything.

I see. I'll have to keep my eye out for that.

[Because she certainly had some questions for them.]

[Then oh, how rude of her. Lenalee stands and moves closer, offering out her hand. She smiles.]

My name's Lenalee Lee. Thank you for being so kind and answering my questions.

Katsuya Suou. I'm a police officer.

[He gives a firm handshake.]

It's nice to meet you, Officer Suou. Despite the circumstances.

[Forever a polite girl.]

The same to you, Miss Lee. I'm happy to be able to help at all.

I only have one more question, if you don't mind.

[Well she had a bunch of questions, but this one was one of the important ones.]

Shoot.

Is there anything I need to know about the collars?

[The last one she had could do all sorts of things.]

Take them off and you'll die, again, temporarily. We don't know what the colors signify yet, but colors closer to purple tend to indicate greater powers.

That is certainly not good. [A feature she's not sure the Facility collars had.]

[Lenalee's own collar is indigo in color. Looks like this teenaged girl could be powerful.]

Do you know if they limit abilities?

I believe most abilities are not limited, but certain exceptional ones might be.

[The ability to create food and water for example, but Katsuya doesn't know that one yet.]

That is certainly a change. I've gotten used to being limited most of the time.

[A good and bad change. It meant she was stronger but it also meant bad guys were stronger too.]

Mine aren't limited, thankfully.

I imagine it makes things more dangerous around here. Whenever we weren't limited there was all sorts of trouble happening.

Aside from the monsters everywhere, and the floors that are dangerous in and of themselves... The experiments are trouble.

Oh well, experiments aren't anything new to me, I'm afraid.

[Not just from Facility-life either.]

That's unfortunate, to say the least... I wish I could be of more help.

Oh no, you've been very helpful.

[Distracted her away from her terrible thoughts and answered her questions. Lenalee even gives him a smile.]
