Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen

Characters: Nesir Aeser, you
Setting: Floor sixty two (beach), floor seventy two (door maze)
Format: Either
Summary: It's Nesir's birthday, she decides she should actually get round to reading her regain, and then sets herself a challenge
Warnings: Maybe talk of assassins/murder/last event. Nesir is generally not a nice person though she is not actively murderous at the moment...

[Beach] Nesir was quite surprised when she saw the date, though she knew it was coming up. In a few days she would have been in this place for an entire year and today she as sixteen. Nesir's birthday had never been celebrated and she wasn't about to start doing so in this fake place but she noted that she was a year older and that in her world she would have been considered an adult today. Ready to be apprenticed or to go out and find work, if she hadn't been a temple acolyte, if she hadn't been a dark trained assassin who had been training and working since she could walk.

The last few days she had spent training, working out her anger and frustration of being stuck in a room with Sephiroth for a week, of the hallucinations and the hunger. It helped that they ahad decent food, even if it was all pumpkin flavoured, which reminded her of her first month here, a year ago. She failed to see why in a world where everything was an illusion they had to eat pumpkin, surely there were other foods they could pretend to give them.

As it was the 'reward' she had been given had been thrown into her trunk and ignored for the last few days. Because as curious as she was, she at least knew when she was too angry to deal with more things. But today was as good as any day.

She liked the beach floor, because as little as she had actually spent time on the seafront as a child the sound of the sea reminded her of home, so she sat on the sand, cloak drawn around her and took out the folder. As expected it didn't have that many answers, the first few entries were almost medical, her and her sisters birth was recorded; they had been early it seemed and no one had expected there to be two of them.

Anyone on the beach floor would see Nesir lost in her reading, a half angry, half confused, sad look on her face.

[Maze] It was always good to be challenged, and Nesir needed something to focus on. For once she didn't feel like killing things, though she would, if need be. Her daggers were ready. She hadn't tackled this maze before but she set off, determined to solve it.

A decision she was beginning to regret a few hours later when she opened yet another door, to more doors, helplessly lost.

[Ryoji had been just passing by the beach when he spotted Nesir, and he paused, unsure whether to approach her or continue on. Ever since what happened with Sephiroth, she'd been ignoring him, and he didn't know if she was angry at him. She shouldn't be, since Ryoji certainly didn't intend for that to happen, but even so...

After a bit more indecisiveness, he forces himself to enter the floor, calling out to her.]


Nesir-chan! Hey!

Heeey~!

[And here's Rei, popping out of one of the doors. After such a long time spent guarding the collar fluid, it's a relief to get to do other things. On impulse, she had entered the maze. And, well, she was rather lost too.]

You're in the maze too!

The beach was nostalgic, though he never knew why, and he would always make time to come there. The sound of the waves was both relaxing and strangely agitating, a confusing mixture that he pushed down to simply enjoy the neutral space.

It seemed he was encountering more and more people, though with the frequency of his coming to that floor it was inevitable. This time, the person - a girl about his age, it seemed - was engrossed in reading. He didn't want to disturb her, as he disliked being disturbed while reading himself, but he did feel it necessary to let her know that she wasn't alone anymore.

"Ah... pardon me, miss..." he said quietly, hoping not to startle her. "I hope I'm not intruding. I merely came to enjoy the waves."

[ Things Hidetoshi did not want from home: anything that wasn't survivors.

Things Hidetoshi found in his dormitory room from home: a stack of Nyx cult flyers. And he was short enough on resources like paper in a place like this he couldn't afford to instantly throw them in the furnace on one of the floors. So he's stomping past the beach on his way to the workshop when he notices Nesir reading and the expression on her face. They hadn't spoken since that argument in the library, had they?

He pauses.

[She quickly shakes her head.]

Nope! Haven't solved it yet.

"They're... strangely nostalgic," he murmured, coming to a stop just before the edge of the beach. His eyes wandered over her, stopping at the folder... personal matters most likely. He batted curiosity away. "I don't know why. I've come to enjoy it quite a bit."

A thought for a moment. "I feel like it's a common thread with many people. I think I've met more people here than anywhere else so far."

Just today, actually. But I've been busy with helping out with the collar fluid. You know, the collar fluid that people took from the infirmary.

Door Maze

If Ivan was being truthful, he wasn't completely certain how he had ended up in this particular mess. This was what he got for being curious, no doubt. Open a door--get locked behind it with no choice but to open another door. And then another and another, until his head was beginning to spin.

Regretting stepping off into the maze in the first place, Ivan opened another door. When he saw who was waiting for him on the other side, his face immediately drained of color. Without a second's hesitation, the blond teenager whirled around on his foot and reached for the handle to go back the way he came--but, naturally, found the door locked.

Taking a deep breath, Ivan slowly turned to look at Nesir. He'd have to face her, there was no choice...though how did one exactly greet the girl who had murdered him?

"I don't suppose you're having better luck finding the end?"

It was an attempt at being cordial, granted it was half murmured and Ivan couldn't bring himself to look her fully in the face, his eyes far too distracted by the knives she had in her hands.

Not much, I don't think. You'd have to ask Richtofen for what we did find out.

I wonder if I should interpret that as an insult, Nesir-san? And you look to be in a less than disagreeable mood yourself.

[ Hidetoshi did not do apologies, especially when he still believed himself to be in the right even when the results of that conservation weren't exactly what he had wanted. He adjusts his grip on the packet of cult flyers. Politely; ] What are you reading?

[She shakes her head.]

No, I was outside. I helped Doc watch the collar fluid. And he researched it a little while.

I'm sorry you had to be trapped, though.

"There's the one with the flowers, the boring one, or the garden, or even the sauna..." unless there were things wrong with those floors that he hadn't discovered yet, of course. "Though I suppose this one gives the best feeling. Outside, on a beach... I suppose there's just something about it that you can't duplicate otherwise. Even if it is a masterful duplication itself."
