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 sure was glad that he had a copy of the Princess Bride to cover the fact that he was studying this girl and her overly large doll from the comfort of one of the chairs. As tempting as it was to let the girl continue, just to see if she could make any progress, but he wondered if she was another person who had recently arrived.

Marking his place in the book and snapping it shut, Barnaby stepped up behind her.]


You can keep trying, but I doubt the architect will let you get anywhere with it.
badguise: (✖ ugh go away)

floor 4!

[personal profile] badguise 2013-05-15 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Watanuki notices her when she first arrives on the floor but he's not feeling sociable so he keeps his silence. He even manages to keep his surprise in check when her doll suddenly grows in size but when it starts smacking at the window without any sign of stopping, it starts to get on his nerves a little.]

Would you stop making all that noise? Pounding on the glass is just wasted effort, anyway.

[He's sitting on one of the couches with his knees drawn up to his chest and he's staring at her with narrowed eyes to show that he's not very impressed but part of him wonders if she keeps going at it, whether or not the doll will get damaged.]

Second Floor

[personal profile] godheals 2013-05-15 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Raphael, being an Angel of healing, practically lived in the second floor when he wasn't taking small breaks to look through the nearby library. When he saw the girl wander in and start to look through supplies, he couldn't help but walk up to her, smiling.]

Are you alright? Or is a friend of yours hurt?
badguise: (✖ it's not like that)

[personal profile] badguise 2013-05-15 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Well excuse you for the way he looks. It's not like being from a wealthy family of old money can do him any good here, anyway.]

I just do, okay.

[Maybe he's already tried to break the windows, maybe not. He's not saying though because that'll be admitting he failed.]

Besides, how can a doll like that do any damage at all?
badguise: (✖ tch)

[personal profile] badguise 2013-05-15 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He stares at her incredulously for a second.]

I might be a delinquent, but I don't hit girls.
badguise: (✖ shut the hell up)

lmfao it's okay this one has issues too

[personal profile] badguise 2013-05-15 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, she had to go there. It's not like he's spend most of his life trying to prove that he's actually strong despite looking otherwise or anything.

He actually jumps up from the couch to point at her threateningly.]


How can you be so sure? Just because I don't plan on proving that I can, doesn't mean you can look down on me. It's just against my moral code and stuff!
mysterical: (relieved)

Floor 2

[personal profile] mysterical 2013-05-15 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Tear's been in the infirmary for a while, trying to figure out what to use to put on Asch's injuries since she's refused to heal both him and Luke. The idiots can fight all they want, but she's not wasting her energy in healing them, that's for sure.

She turns whe she hears some rummaging going on closer to the door, only to see her young friend. She's beyond pleased to see her!]


Anise! I'm glad you've made it!

[Ah, a new arrival then. Maybe he should give her a quick warning.]

I see. Please do be careful then. The lower in this Tower you go, the more dangerous this Tower becomes, so please take care...and I am sorry about your world.

[He was trying to be better about his role! Even he could understand that most people would not like this situation.]

I am Raphael, and I do work here. Healing others is the reason for my existence, so I wait here and help those who come along.

It's just an illusion.

[Ryuunosuke sighs heavily from the stairs.] Nobody's gonna show up there no matter what it looks like to you or me. So, I guess you're new?

[That smile would be oddly adorable if he hadn't seen the same excitement on the faces of his numerous teenage fans.]

Actually, I just arrived the other day. I can't tell you much, but it's easy to assume that the management here won't let us leave so easily.

Floor 4. WUD BE TTLY BEST FRIENDS RITE?

[If Anise turns around at some point while trying to use Tokunaga to punch the wall, she will find some filthy rich looking young man (well, cravats are expensive) giving a very disturbed stare at that.....giant teddy bear or whatever that thing is.]

[personal profile] kindofademon 2013-05-15 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you weren't new, you'd have no reason to go near somewhere depressing like this, right?

[Ryuunosuke enters the floor proper and leans against a wall.] Has anybody told you 'bout where you are yet?
kindofademon: (Suited~ Burn it to the ground)

[personal profile] kindofademon 2013-05-15 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Not the smartest thing to do, no offense. If it'd been night you probably would've been eaten by a monster right away.

This is the Tower of Animus. Notable dangers include the administrators, their experiments, the monsters - especially at night, some of the floors, and some of the residents.
