add yet another dazed and confused girl to the mix
Characters: Aqua! and whoever you deign to throw at her!
Setting: Floors 99, Cafeteria, and anywhere you like!
Format: whichever!
Summary: oh look it's another newbie LET'S GET HER
Warnings: no warnings for now; will edit as needed
[she might have kept sleeping, but Aqua is being reluctantly pulled to consciousness because something feels...off. different. wrong also springs to mind, but that's a relative thing, really. it was wrong for her to be stuck where she was, but ten years being stuck has a funny way of making you adapt and accept.
when she opens her eyes, the starkness of the room is almost blinding, in a way - not to mention REALLY STARTLING.
a room.
and a bed. she's in a bed.
when did that happen.
something's heavy on her throat when she turns her head to look around; she reaches up and feels the collar, and is understandably startled. there are, unfortunately, no mirrors to investigate.
so she gets out of bed. all of Aqua's movements are slow, deliberate, and quiet. she looks around for any sign of life...or, almost preferably, any answers.]
[wow. a whole garden.
getting there with the step teleportation wasn't that alarming, but a whole garden after the bare minimalism of the dorms is, a bit.
Aqua walks around slowly, staring in wonder at each and every plant and touching every one in turn, confirming for herself the reality of them. living things are a wonder to her after such a long time.]
[oh, this is more...immediately familiar. the gentle glow of the crystals is similar enough to the Realm of Darkness, anyway.
it's beautiful, if quietly unsettling. she can't quite put her finger on why until she tries looking into the crystals to see their colors, and just gets a dull headache from the endless fractals.
she may squat down to touch one of the small pools of water, before settling herself as comfortably as possible next to it in order to take another moment to take in what's going on.
this place is crazy. first a garden, now a crystal cave.]
[...okay, this place is nuts.
Aqua stares in awe and confusion at the intricate ball pits, with trampolines and pipes and all sorts of crazy fun.
unfortunately, she's not much in a fun mood, but that doesn't mean the existence of the place isn't fascinating on some weird level. she steps into the first pit carefully, just looking around and peering through the mesh to pits above and below.]
(basically, feel free to choose any floor! one a little safer where conversation is possible, or a more dangerous one you potentially warn her to leave - she's very very warily poking her head into each floor for a second or two at least until she gets tired and just rides the elevator to the cafeteria, so - go for it!
she will also be mostly travelling by the stairs until she goes to the cafeteria.)
[well. it probably only makes sense that after ten years, she'd be hungry.
so. hungry.
thankfully, it's not hard to find the cafeteria. after one look at the layout, Aqua runs over to the NPCs running the place, doling out food, begging them for answers - and getting nothing. frustrated, she takes the oatmeal she's been given and gives up, moving to sit down alone at one of the tables.
...eating is weird. as hungry as she is, she keeps holding a full spoon in her hand and staring at it like she doesn't know what to do, before eating it.]

no subject
she blinks.
what to make of such a scene. what to say?
goodness.]
...Isn't that making you sticky?
no subject
[ Her tone is pretty blanky as she speaks up. Like having a cake grow on your head like that is the most normal thing in the world. ]
.. And it's yummy..
no subject
When it disappears? You mean...when you eat it all?
no subject
No, when it disappears. When I change into something else, for example.. [ She's saying it once again like it's normal, her expression perfectly blank. ]
no subject
You can change? ...Into what? Anything?
no subject
[ She hums, trying to decide where she should even start explaining something like this - it isn't easy. ]
.. I can change into stuff I found in my dreams.
no subject
...Then, I hope your dreams are good, for the most part. Is it a natural ability, or...?
[as confusing as this all is, Aqua can't help but be very curious. it's not exactly something she's run across, even with all the worlds she's seen.]
no subject
Or..? What else could it be..? [ Not saying it's natural, it's more that she has absolutely no idea where it came from either way. It's just.. normal to her, really. ]
no subject
[she hasn't met too many people here yet, so it's not from experience of the wider variety of worlds and people that she's thinking of.
still, now she feels a bit awkward for having asked. maybe it was too personal.]
I'm...sorry for prying. My curiosity is a bad habit, sometimes. [she smiles apologetically.] My name's Aqua.
no subject
[ But she's actually pretty intrusive, although that's more since she just doesn't know better. ]
Curiosity is a nice thing. I have a lot of it.
no subject
no subject
So there's not much to worry about. Although they don't seem to like it when people use chainsaws.
[ Discrimination against specific weapons, clearly. ]
no subject
...You've tried, I guess?
no subject
It's really rude.
