and then there was one; (OPEN)

[ufufu]

Characters: Flandre Scarlet and YOU!
Setting: Dormitories (general, room 3-09), cafeteria, floors 99, 75, and open to any other prompt!
Time: Throughout the week
Format: Quick to start, will match.
Summary: The child so many seek to avoid is brought to the tower to play with others? General introduction log, please consider reviewing her permissions post.

    ✪✪✪✪ DORMITORIES.
[ Within room 3-09, something foreign stirs in the night. The soft jingle of crystals might be enough to wake the lightest sleeper, but the piercing scream that follows after is sure to do the trick. This wasn't her bed. This wasn't her basement room. This wasn't her MANSION. Even once the initial shock wears off, she doesn't stop with her screaming. If anyone's ever seen a child throw a tantrum, this is along those lines.

Eventually the covers are removed and she's calmed either through the aid of a roommate or some other thing caught her interest. The letter is crumpled in her hand as she moves through the dormitories, the wings on her back twinkling with the reflection of any light. Eerily enough, her eyes seem to glow while the rest of her remains hidden within the dark, but they aren't with animosity. No, they seem rather curious and very very interested in this new place.

In the daytime hours though, she'll just stroll into a room as though it were her own and greet anyone there with a wave. She might even ask any inhabitants if they want to play a game and if there's a toy nearby, she'll beg to see it for herself. ]

    ✪✪✪✪ CAFETERIA.
[ Like many other newcomers, she's been directed to the cafeteria for food.

Unfortunately, her tastes are too refined for the tower. Even with the instructions that she should be eating oatmeal, Flandre is without her guardian. Before her is a meal full of various sweets all with the full intention of gorging herself sick over and over again.

Throughout the week, she eventually does have her first meal of oatmeal, but continues to be unsatisfied with the meals provided for her in the cafeteria. A couple days after her arrival (which was May 14th), she might complain that she's really tired and seem crankier than usual due to fatigue. Something tastes off about her food and she'll even complain about that to anyone who's listening. ]

    ✪✪✪✪ FLOOR 99.
[ An entire cavern made up of crystals like her wings? Flandre's entranced by the very thought and can be seen often fluttering about in her excitement. In fact, she'll be scooping up as many sparkly rocks into the front of her dress (don't worry, she has on a pair of an old-fashioned bloomers) to carry with her back to her room. What a great treasure hunter! ]

    ✪✪✪✪ FLOOR 75.
[ A tower within a tower. The idea interests her and so Flandre herself will dash and zoom through the air with her own flight (although those wings of her's don't seem to be helping her any with the task) as she explores. She seems blissfully unaware of any monsters residing here though. ]

Comments

Cafeteria (May 14th)

[colorfulbrilliance]

[Well like most people, Meiling will be heading her way down the get some food. Although one thing she had forgotten is the fact people would start showing up around this time of month..Nor did she expect anyone she knew to show up.

So when she walks in, the rainbow colored wings and blonde hair being brushed off at first as her eyes playing tricks on her, heading to receive whatever is being served at the time. After a moment, she does a double take and stands there in shock.

Her mind is racing and fear is just gripping at her heart tightly. No..they didn't...]


Flandre...? Is that you...?

[ufufu]

Huh?

[ The familiar voice causes her head to perk up and once she locates her, she gives a nod. Nothing strange about this at all. ]

Yup! [ In fact, she's just a bit too jovial to be in a strange new place. Whatever fear she may have had must have been alleviated with her presence. ] Huh, but the note said that everyone else was destroyed so what gives?

[colorfulbrilliance]

[Meiling is going to abandon the idea of food for the moment and head over to sit with her. There are more important matters now and she's trying to fall back into her mindset of home once more..with a few minor adjustments of course!]

The note is wrong..They can't have destroyed home or everyone there. They are lying to us all about that.

[She looks at the food on the table and frowns a little bit. She has a feeling she knows the answer but...She has to ask. It's been a while but she's trying to fall back into the guardian that she was before.]

Have you had the oatmeal yet Little One?

Dorms / 14th

[bloodredandblack]

[Rude, just walking on in.

Reimu is trying to sleep over here on the bed, even though it is the middle of the day. When Flandre just rudely walks in, Reimu sees the shiny crystals on her back and immediately groans.]

Who let you out?

[ufufu]

The administrators. [ The word is oddly pronounced, but manageable. ] They're the ones in charge, aren't they?

[ Tilting her head and naturally the crystals chime as they lean over with the rest of her body. ]

Huh, your clothing is weird. Are shrine maidens allowed to wear that much black?

[bloodredandblack]

[She reaches up to put a finger on Flandre's forehead and sloooooooooowly pushes her back so she can get out of bed.]

Sanae wears green so black is perfectly fine.

Floor 75

[evokingfool]

[While Flandre may seem unaware of the monsters, would she notice a boy fighting?

A boy fighting with a sword and a fairy queen by his side. A monster get knocked onto their back by a wind spell, allowing him to finish them off with his blade.

As Titania continue to cast the wind spell, he quickly looks around to judge the battle situation.

...? What's that he just saw in the air?]

[ufufu]

[ Suddenly she's zooming right for him, but stops just a yard or so away with her crystals still jingling from the impact. Hovering in the air, with her arms folded, she looks down at him. ]

You're not dressed like a samurai, but you have a sword.

[evokingfool]

[Suddenly, indeed. Minato would get startled, but sensing a monster's approach, he sidestep its attack and counters it.]

That's because I'm not a samurai.

[Titania moves a little closer to him, finishing off the monster and as a protective presence near Minato.]

Dorms

[swiftkicks]

[Wow, okay. Just walk in like that. She totally wasn't doing some maintenance on her bow which required all the concentration she needed. Don't worry about that.

Oh, that twang that signified the string breaking? Don't worry about that either.

She's just staring at the broken bow for a bit before looking up at the unwelcome intruder- who may notice that she has some green crystal wings on her own, albeit ones for decoration.]

[ufufu]

[ No worries here. If there were any, she's not showing it as she skips around in place. ]

You broke it. [ She finally says what's on her mind. ]

Dormitories

[withak]

[Katsuya doesn't have any toys in his room, but he does have a book that he's reading and looks up from when she greets him.]

Good afternoon. Have we met, miss?

[ufufu]

Nope, I've never seen a man like you before.

[ At least she's honest. ] What are you reading? Is it a fairy tale?

75

[bigbridgebattler]

[As she flies through the tower, the sounds of steel biting stone and flesh may eventually catch her ear.

Gilgamesh has found himself in this portion of the tower, fighting the monsters and generally keeping up with his swordplay as he slashes his two katanas through all that comes at him.]

[ufufu]

[ The sounds draw her in and while it might be easy to mistake her for a monster, she folds her arms in a pout. ]

Hello, hello. You have two swords?

Cafeteria

[silencetoreason]

[France is always listening when the topic is food. Even if he hadn't been appointed a job as a culinary assistant, he would have devoted his time in the Tower to making sure that everybody was satisfied with their meals (especially after the protein bar travesty he had to witness last month). So when he hears a girl complaining, he turns around to face her, fast as if he'd heard someone call his name.]

What was that? Is something wrong with the food, mademoiselle?

[ufufu]

Everything's wrong with it.

[ What a childish retort, but she does give the appearance of being sick to her stomach. ]

It doesn't taste like it does at home.

floor 75 - Patchy's been keeping to herself, so let's say that explains it?

[witchoftheweek]

[Eventually, there's only so much investigating Patchouli can do without seeing the rest of the Tower, so the librarian leaves her nest of books. The tower within the Tower seemed as good a place as any to start.

Danmaku isn't made to kill, but regardless, Patchouli is far more cautious about monsters. It's Wednesday, so Earth will naturally be the focus of her magic today, but she keeps Fire and Metal in mind - the two elements in closest combination to it.

With that in mind, she floats upwards - wait. Those wings ahead of her are unmistakable. It shouldn't be possible, but -- ]

Flandre?!

[For anyone else, that would be a quiet cry. For Patchouli? It's loud.]

Sure thing! <3

[ufufu]

[ Coming to an abrupt stop, Flandre cocks her head in the direction of the cry of her name with a toothy grin. There's no mistaking that voice, but funny. She wasn't told the keeper of books was here herself. ]

Hello, hello. [ Repeating herself as she hovers down slowly towards Patchouli's level so there wasn't a strain of either neck to look upon the other. ] What brings you to this level?

[ It's a floor, Flandre. Not a level. ]

Floor 99

[wrigurun]

[The lights reflected from the crystals were absolutely hypnotizing and before she knew it Wriggle had lost hours just spacing out down here. Occasionally she went a little cross-eyed and had to shut her eyes and rub her head to try and ease the aches away.

Of course she wouldn't look where she was going, and accidentally bumped into Flandre. A little disoriented Wriggle blinked the confusion out of her eyes and looked at the girl with curiosity]

Ah, sorry...

[ufufu]

Huh, what kind of-??

[ She pauses to look her over curiously before shaking it off. ]

Things that go bump in the dark aren't all that nice, don't you agree?

floor 99

[integrous]

[ Asahi, being new herself, is only just exploring the tower. She knows she has to be cautious, but honestly, what's so wrong with this floor? It's just a bunch of crystals, isn't it? No big deal at all!

So she's actually reaching out to grab one of the rocks to take a closer look too.. but it's exactly at the same time as Flandre does, so she quickly pulls back her hand, instead blinking at her. ]

.. Huh? You're collecting that many?

[ufufu]

[ The crystals that hang from her back jingle to answer her question. ]

I like them, so I want to gather them all. You can have that one though because sharing is a nice thing. You can remember it for later.

Floor 99

[caliginous]

[This floor had become a favorite of Karkat's. It reminded him quite a bit of his own hive, in that it was dark and quiet and full of shiny objects that didn't belong to him. It was one of the few places in the Tower he could lurk in without having to worry about emotional feedback from the rest of the residents without completely crippling his ability to fight back if something opted to sneak up on him.

That was the only problem with the floors that deactivated powers -- he had never been very good with his sickles.

But every now and then someone else would wander up to the floor and interrupt his alone time. Whoever this was seemed pretty obnoxiously excited, enough to be distracting. With a roll of his yellow eyes, he straightened his tie and made his way toward the source, poking his head around the corner to stare.

He focuses on her wings (they were wings, right?) for a few seconds before speaking in a flat tone.]

They ain't going anywhere, you know. You can always come back with a woven carrying recepticle or something.

[ufufu]

Receptacle? [ A new word that catches her interest as she twirls around on the heel of one of her feet. ] I don't know what that is, but I have no use for it.

[ Unfortunately for him, she's going to ask a tired question he's likely heard often: ]

Your skin is weird. Did all the color get sucked out?
