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.]

I mean, once someone's... dead, they're...
[Her expression falls. Death - real death, not the pale imitation of death they experienced in the Tower - was permanent. It was the final end of all things, and that was why it was so frightening. When someone died... there was no getting them back.
She knew that all too well.]

So, he hesitated before putting a hand on her head and smiling.]
I know. However, it is possible that the souls that are not here are simply lost someplace else. When all is restored, they may drift to their original bodies, and live again.
[After all, it didn't make sense for Zo to only try and bring back one soul..he might have tried to bring others, but due to any limits he might have had, or other factors, they could have scattered.]
no subject
[She's not exactly cheery, but she doesn't seem bothered by the hand on her head, either. So there's that.]
What happens to a soul if it doesn't have a body to live in..?
no subject
[Which was good, since Raphael wasn't that good at calming down people yet, but he was working on it.]
It keeps on living. The body may be ephemeral, but the spirit is eternal.
no subject
[She wonders, she really does. And there's other things she wonders about, too -]
Do... you think everyone has a soul? Even people who aren't born the way most people are?
