001 ♫ nothing but lies and broken wings
Characters: One money-hungry puppeteer and you!
Setting: Room 01-17/dorm level 1, floor 100, floor 2, floor 4, around the Tower
Format: Action tags to start! But I will follow you.
Summary:"Tokunaga, I've a feeling we're not in Auldrant anymore." Anise wakes up and discovers that the world she's in definitely isn't home. Of course, this means exploring.
Warnings: Nothing in particular for now!
Room 01-17/Dorm Level 1
[Anise can't move at first, but - she's surprisingly okay with that. The bed is infinitely more comfortable than camping out on the ground is, and for the thirty seconds that she's unable to move, she can almost convince herself that this is just some weird dream.
Then she can move again; she rolls over - out of the bed - and hits the ground with a thud.]
Ow...
[A moment passes. She untangles herself from the blankets and looks down -]
What the HELL is this?!
[...well, that was definitely loud enough to wake any unfortunate roommates. In fact, it probably carried out to the rest of the floor or at least the nearest rooms, too. It's okay if it didn't, though, because a very displeased Fon Master Guardian will stalk out into the hallway a moment or so later, glowering as she takes in her surroundings.]
Floor 100
[Her initial confusion over and done with, Anise has found her usual clothing in her trunk and has decided to start exploring. She takes the stairs two at a time, and as a result doesn't get pulled into the hanging gardens - rather, her first non-dormitory floor is the hundredth.
And what a surprise it is - she can't help but stop and stare in shock at the sight of the Daathic cathedral. Maybe this is how it's supposed to be - a reminder of everything the Order of Lorelei was supposed to have stood for, a reminder of the person she was supposed to have protected, a reminder of the oaths she took and ultimately broke.
But what if it's more than a reminder? What if...
Before Anise is even aware of what she's doing, she's running from the stairs and onto the floor.]
Florian! Papa, Mama! ...Maestro Tritheim...?
[All people who would likely never answer her call again.]
Floor 02
[After the shock of seeing an image of Daath, Anise had marched right back up the stairs and opted to take the elevator the rest of the way down. She didn't want any more surprises like... that.
For now, she skips the cafeteria - she's not really hungry - and takes the stairs up. Exploring from the bottom up rather than the top down seems like a good idea to her, and it's not long before she's poking around the infirmary like she owns the place.
She doesn't even recognize what half these things are supposed to do, but they seem useful. Kind of. Maybe if she keeps looking she'll figure out what they are.]
Floor 04
[Anise is standing at the wall furthest from the stairs, looking out at the ground below her.
It's hard to see - fog or smog or whatever it is, she can't see through it, and that bothers her. What could be out there, she wonders? She hasn't been able to find any real exit while she's been walking around. Is whatever's out there so dangerous that it has to be locked out?
Or... are they just locked in?
The thought bothers her, and in one smooth motion, she pulls Tokunaga down from her back. Moments later, she's on his back and is directing him to pound at the glass in a futile attempt to break it. She can jump! She's survived falls from greater heights.
...someone should probably tell her that's not going to work.]
Around the Tower - you pick!
[It's important to be acquainted with one's surroundings, so Anise doesn't waste any time in exploring. The only floors she's really going to make an effort to avoid are the hundredth and the thirteenth; all in all, the cathedrals are a little too close to home for her right now.
She can be found in the elevator, going up and down the stairs, and examining anything and everything that might be of interest to her. On the floors where her powers aren't suppressed, she'll usually be riding around on Tokunaga. Particularly if there are lots of monsters about.]

HE'S MY BEST FRIEND, BEST OF ALL BEST FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE A BEST FRIEND TOO?
Hi, Mister! ❤ I noticed you watching! Is something wrong?
EXCUUUUSE ME, I COULD ALSO BE YOUR GIRL
LAAAAAATELY, EVERYONE IS MAKING FUN
[Try "mildly terrifying," Anise. Seriously, how you can find that thing cute is one of life's many great mysteries.]
NAAA-NA-NA-NAAA-NA
/dissolves into giggles
So, have you been in this place for very long? I just got here. It's a really confusing place. [She looks up at him with her patented "You'll protect me, won't you?" pout.]
I'm loving this CR already.
Anyway, this strange little girl has just arrived here? Well....okay, Edgeworth might as well help her out. Trying to look relaxed and not too disturbed by your horrid monster toy thing, Anise, he reaches the pocket of his coat and takes out a piece of paper which seems to have a map and a rather large list.]
Ah, right. Well, you're in Animus. You, I and many others have been taken here after our worlds were apparently destroyed. I assume that you found a couple of letters in your room when you woke up here?
Yeees. >w>
[But the more time she spends here, the less it's looking like a joke. She goes up on her tiptoes to try and get a look at Edgeworth's piece of paper.]
What's that for? Were those the letters you got? They're different from the ones I did...
Re: Yeees. >w>
Ah, no. This is actually a guide to the tower's residential area and a list of all the dangers on the floors and monsters that lurk here. My roommate and an acquaintance of his wrote it and I have helped produce some copies [Edgeworth has no life. :|]. I hope it will be of some help.
Have you been found out anything about the tower which hasn't been said in your, um...'welcome' letter yet? [Like the whole revival process and how evil the administrators are.] Perhaps you could tell me and I will do my best to inform you with what I already know.
no subject
...uuuuh, I don't think so... [Anise thinks back. Everything she knows about the tower so far matches up with what she's read in the letters, except one thing.] Oh. Uh, I had a question.
I ran into some people from my world who were dead before my world was supposed to have been destroyed. I mean, they died a long time before I ended up here... how were they saved? Are they real?
no subject
Then there was the whole revival system. Maya claimed that she had died once. A five year-old girl had as well. Not to mention the whole souls thing...]
I'm.....afraid I am not quite sure myself, miss.
What I do know, however, is that death is apparently not permanent here. [Edgeworth is still debating with himself whether or not this is true. However, ever since he heard about Maya's and Yotsuba's deaths, he is becoming less and less inclined to deny it] When you die, you wake up in your bed the next day. If this is true then I suppose I cannot put it past this tower to bring those who have already died here and make them live again. [And it is pretty horrifying to think about.]
