[01] || [Discovery] || [Open]

Characters: Cid and you.
Setting: Room 2-04, the workshop, cafeteria and anywhere else.
Format: Starting with prose, but will match.
Summary: Cid awakens in the Tower. Appropriate canon point means his world being destroyed makes a lot of sense. He then goes off to explore the tower and discover with horror what they've done to the tea in this horrible, horrible place.
Warnings: %^$@#$%@#!!

• Dormitories Floor (Room 2-04)
To some people, the thought that your world may have been destroyed makes absolutely no sense. But to Cid, it actually made a whole lot sense. Mind you, last thing he could remember, the meteor was crashing into the planet-- And while both Holy and the Lifestream were working at stopping it, there was no saying as to whether or not it had worked.

Guess that letter settled it. It had not worked.

Not that it really made that much sense though, since if his world had indeed been destroyed, nobody should have been able to rescue him. Well, guess there was only one way to get some straight answers. Grumbling, he went through his trunk's content and grabbed his equipment-- With his speak noticeably broken into pieces, thank you tower, before heading out. This smelt like something Shinra would do, and he needed answers.


• Cafeteria (Day 2)
Like everyone else, Cid had gone through his oatmeal the day before, but not without an healthy amount of swearing. Who in the world would want to eat oatmeal? Certainly not him. This tower was clearly as bad as it looked. He was a bit more enthusiast today though, as he had seen the other meals offered by the tower and they didn't look half as bad. He went for the pancakes first-- And then grimaced.

"... Pumpkin pancakes?" he left the pancake aside after one bite and moved on to take a bit of the roasted seeds-- Only to stop halfway in and brush the dish aside as well. "... Pumpkin flavored seeds."

The hell was up with that? At least they provided him with tea, they were decent enough, right? Not what he thought any more after drinking it.

"Goddamn pumpkin tea!" he slammed the cup on the table "$^@#*$ù%!! Why is everything infected with pumpkin in this damn cafeteria?!"


• Workshop (15th Floor)
At some point Cid found the workshop and stayed in it. The Tower had been nice enough to provide him with his weapon of choice, a spear, namely the "Venus Gospel". But unfortunately, it had been broken into pieces so as to fit into his trunk, pretty much killing the whole point of having a spear as weapon.

But no matter, he'd decided to take the matter into his own hands. Using whatever good metal he could find around, heating the spear's pieces and hammering them, he started working on putting the pieces back together into a coherent whole. He had made his first spear himself after all, fixing a broken one shouldn't be beyond his capabilities. It was tough and tiring to do, though.


• Random Corridors
You'll find Cid exploring the tower for the next couple days with his spear in hand and ready to cast a spell at the first sign of trouble. This tower got a lot of floors, too many if you asked him, but given he couldn't leave anytime soon he'd rather get to know the various floors.

Yes. Have you read the letters in your room yet?

It's not lying.

Sometimes the person who brought you here loses his grip, so to speak, and people go home to worlds that are completely devoid of life. Sometimes he gets them back and that's where our reports come from.
alephbet: (Sell your watch today)

That's exactly what I'm telling you.
alephbet: (Then I'll never have to speak again)

Let's say it's true that there are other worlds, or let's say it's not true and there aren't other worlds. Normally, how would you be able to tell the difference?
alephbet: (Now I'm free)

Then 'how is that possible' is kind of a silly question, right? You couldn't confirm or deny it either way.
alephbet: (And a kite fallen from grace)

No, actually I wouldn't be terribly surprised. The monsters here get weird.
