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.]

Hello. I'm Aqua. I like to think I'm a good person. [her smile grows a little] What about you? Are you up to something you shouldn't be?
no subject
I'm not! I'm here to get rocks for my sling! There are a lot of nice ones in the water! But it's good that you're a good person! And it's nice to meet you, Aqua! I'm Yotsuba Koiwai!
no subject
I was only teasing! Now you sound suspicious. [still teasing, Aqua has an impish sort of smile.] Would you like some help looking for good rocks? Or are you going to use them on somebody.
no subject
Oh! Okay then! Yotsuba doesn't know what suspisious is, but help is always nice! And I am going to use them! If a monster or a bad person tries to kill me, I can throw them at them with my sling and not die! Death is really painful, you know!
no subject
[well okay that's a little alarming coming from this kid
she stares and blinks, but goes along with it; a little alarmed, but thinking it's just a strange imagination, maybe]
I've never died before, but I guess it must be painful sometimes. It's good that you have a way to defend yourself, Yotsuba.
no subject
It is! And it's good that you haven't died yet! It's super painful, so be careful, okay?! Can you defend yourself?
no subject
...I can fight. Yotsuba-- [she reaches out to place a hand lightly on Yotsuba's arm] --what can you tell me about this place? This whole Tower?
no subject
It's good that you can fight! And this place is really dangerous! A lot of bad people are here, even though Zo's part of them and he's good! Dax was a good person, but the bad people killed him! The grown-ups are all working to stop the bad people and save the worlds, since they're destroyed, and Daddy and Jumbo's souls are here, but they're enchanted by the bad people, so don't go near them! They'll be mean to you and kill you!
But I'm gonna be a support like Lucifel and cheer everyone up so that they can keep going! I'll be a superhero!
no subject
she smiles even more broadly, and squeezes Yotsuba's arm gently, reassuringly.]
You're very brave, Yotsuba. I think you're already a superhero. [then, knowing kids, her lips twitch into a more impish grin again.] Do you have a favorite hero you want to be like?
no subject
Really?! That's awesome! I'm a superhero! And I wanna be like Lucifel and Rabbit! Lucifel's a really awesome and nice Angel, and Rabbit was my honorary big brother and he sang a lot of songs and was an awesome robot-!
[Oh! Remembering something, Yotsuba looked pretty shocked as she paused and continued on.]
But we're robots too! The bad guys are using glamor to cover it up though!
no subject
...So, if we're robots- Our memories are all fake?
no subject
no subject
...Thank you for telling me. You're very brave to be here and still be so... [she grins broadly] ...sunny.
I'm glad you have friends here, too. Have you had any trouble with anyone?
no subject
You're welcome! You're probably brave too! But..how is Yotsuba sunny? I'm not glowing. And I've have some trouble with bad people! A boy with green hair burned me and then he and a girl with looong white hair beat me up until I died! It hurt a lot!
no subject
--That's... I don't have words. [she shakes her head.] I'm sorry, Yotsuba. Are you okay now? Are they still here?
