Entry tags:
chasing numbers
Characters: Veronica, Open.
Setting: Elevator, floor 56, and floor 34 (Backdated to the 26th)
Format: prose or action brackets; I'll follow you.
Summary: Someone has been paying attention to the random messages on the terminals. And now she's going to investigate.
Warnings: Usual tower related things. Will add as happens.
[When it had started Veronica had barely noticed it, just moving on and forgetting about it. The second time it happened she was more attentive to it, scribbling down the codes and working to decipher them. The third time came and went but Veronica just ended up confused. They were phrases; short, random ones that repeated. It seemed that they were pointing to somewhere in the tower but she didn't know where. At least, she didn't know until the last message. Two numbers, both could be tower floors, or it was simply a big joke. Either way, Veronica's curiosity had been peaked so she set out to investigate]
The Elevator
[There's a teenaged girl in the elevators. This probably wouldn't be that interesting if the girl wasn't wielding swords and covered in scars. She'll stay silent unless someone starts a conversation with her.]
Floor 56
[This floor was just as unnerving to Veronica as it was startlingly familiar. The random hospital rooms, the surgical suites, the ever-present hint of blood in the air, it was all just like home. She even heard chilling cries that reminded her of Fran's experiments. She half expected to see Okita or Adorea in one of the rooms. Sadly, she seemed to be the only person here, or was she? Swords in hand, Veronica made her way forward into the floor.]
Floor 34
[This was the most surreal floor Veronica had seen yet. She found herself outside, somewhere, going up stairs that connected to floating islands. The island she found herself on was long and narrow, she could see over the edge into the nothing below her. The urge to jump strangely went through her but she was able to fight it off and keep going forward, looking for whatever, or whomever.]

"But it's nice that you told me. Any questions? Ones that I can and will answer?"
no subject
"No, no questions," She looks up at the fire dancing on the ceiling, "Except maybe about that."

Yeah, she's not used to this whole magic thing yet. Too bad everyone else is.

She looks down at her hands. That might be even better in some regards.

Then he waved a dismissive hand. "You're eyes just haven't been opened. There is always more out there than conventional science can answer."
no subject
She turns and makes for the door, most of what she wanted to say done. "I guess I should go. If you want to contact me send another code or a letter or something."
no subject
He watches her start to leave and decides that he should pack up his own things and get back to work. "Will do, and take care to not say anything about this."
no subject
With that, she's out the door, simultaneously confused and relieved.
