[ during individuation event ]

[immortalia]

Characters: Anyone!
Setting: Workshop, briefly, but library for the overall setting.
Format: Action most likely.
Summary: After everyone has received their packages in the mail, Sertoria gets to work on distributing messages to people so that they can try to figure this out. Feel free to hijack threads and mingle around as you want! Sertoria will still be around if anyone wants to talk to her.
Warnings: Usual tower warnings, but mark them as needed in your post.

Sertoria had "woken" up early that morning to do her normal routine: Do a little morning patrol to see if anything changed in the tower overnight before checking her mail and the network (she found that the network was unreliable right now when trying to send any messages), and then if she didn't find anything, go work on some projects in the workshop.

However, she found an item in her box and froze while reading the nametag.

CXEV5001.

Either this was someone's cruel idea of a joke or--

Wait a second, didn't Waver say he received something weird in the mail? Sertoria was sure that no one she told about her designation would do something like this to her, so it had to be that. She slipped the nametag in to her robe's pockets and ran down to the workshop to begin writing a message on pieces of paper to distribute.

Everyone will be receiving a slip of paper under their doors roughly in the mid-morning when she's done with the slips of paper, her hands slightly marked with ink. It will read:



image reads: Did you receive something weird in the mail?

If yes, please meet me in the library so we can figure this out.

- Sertoria Cani

After that, she'll be waiting in the library for people to come around.

[ Library ]

Once Sertoria was done distributing her message, she was sitting down on one of the chairs with her legs crossed and head bowed. She was holding the nametag in between her fingers, wondering why this was her "package." Well... Whatever it was, she was sure the tower's residents could figure it out. After all, she believed in them.

When someone does show up, she'll put the nametag away and greet them, forcing a small smile on her face.

"Hello. Shall we get to work?"

[Minato's gaze turns toward her, his eyes glancing down at her hands, briefly. It's pretty obvious that she, too, received something.

He walks over to her, ignoring the shadows behind him.]

Urotsuki-chan?

[chainsawn]

Are they... punishing us..?

[ It still doesn't quite come out in her usual blank way. It's like her voice shakes a little and her body soon follows, like it's difficult for her to even keep standing upright. Her head turns to look at Minato at least, but her eyes are a little watery. ]

[evokingfool]

[He hear how her voice shook, and her body as well. He leans down so he can look at her, eye to eye.]

It's possible. But...how about you sit down?

[chainsawn]

[ She shakes her head, looking more and more like some panicked animal, especially with the weird (considering her normal expression) look in her eyes and the way she still clings onto whatever is in her fists. ]

I.. I can't. I have.. to go.. I need to save him.. I don't have time...

[evokingfool]

Urotsuki-chan.

[He stare at her, calmly and steady. His tone might be a little firm, but he want her to calm down a little.]

Are you talking about a friend?

[chainsawn]

.. It's Yuuto..

[ She at least answers him. It's almost like she can't not answer him while he's staring at her like that, and she clenches both of her hands still together with something in it in front of her chest as she looks up to him. ]

Yuuto's.. gone. So.. I have to help him. I have to.. save him.. from Ruana..

[evokingfool]

[He understand what she means. People who left the tower are at the highest risk of being in danger. On a different level from the residents and what Ruana can do...]

...Don't forget, Urotsuki-chan. You're not the only one who want to save their friends and loved ones. You won't be alone in saving them from her.

[chainsawn]

Other people will help him too..? They'll.. save Yuuto..? [ She slowly blinks. Her tone is hopeful, as if she really wants to believe it, but on the other hand she's not entirely sure she can believe it. Nobody can care for him as much as she does, after all. ]

[evokingfool]

He's not the only one in danger. [Yeah, not all of them are selfless. But there's people who would fight for others, whether they know them or not.] There's people here who have friends in danger as well. So we can try to save our friends together.

[chainsawn]

.. Everyone together.

[ She likes the sound of that. She's so used to being by herself back home that she always knew she had to do things by herself. But here it's been different. She's gotten friends, and there's people who all do the same thing, so.. she's not alone. She's not. ]

Everyone together.. [ So she just repeats the words. They sound that nice to her. ]

[evokingfool]

That's right.

[They don't have to be friends, but at least they can be comrades. Allies working towards the same goal.

There is strength in numbers.]

So don't forget that, no matter what happens.
