This is hardly as fun as playing Candy Crush
Characters: Elena & Open
Setting: Throughout the Tower during the Event
Format: Will match yours
Summary: Catch-all for the "If You Won't" Event
Warnings: Collecting all the candy, feels, and more! I will update anymore content warnings as they happen.
[October 20th – Graveyard | OPEN TO ALL]
[If there was one lesson Elena remembered from her previous time in the Tower, it was that when it was suggested you do something, you did it. Because while there was sure to be repercussions for engaging in the action, not engaging would be far worse. And so she’s very calculating of her search, scanning all areas of randomly selected rooms before searching in narrow crevasses and any hard to reach place. And so far she’s been very lucky in her search, her candy collection growing.
Though…why again did she think it was a good idea to check a graveyard for candy? Oh, right. Because it was coming close to Halloween. Footsteps take her past several graves, eyes reading the names of the fallen. Lost? Fully-dead? More names become familiar, ones uttered on the network about going missing or being fully gone. On one she’d found a little meringue ghost, the irony not escaping her at all. It’s when she comes closer to a familiar row that she stops between a pair of gravestones and just stares.]
….Fuck you Ruana. [The words are a barely whispered hiss, her curious, neutral expression darkening.] That’s not funny.
[Moving forward towards the row of gravestones she’d mentally renamed as Gaia Row, she passes by several familiar names. Reno. Rude. Tseng. Rufus. The whole ShinRa family, lined up in a row. But that wasn’t what had made her stomach sink. It was the pair of chocolate roses resting across the grave of one Cloud Strife. They had made a very amiable connection during his stay in the Tower, working together to keep an eye on Reno, make sure that his head stayed on straight and his nose stayed out of trouble.
Squatting in front of the gravestone, fingers lightly lifted the pair of roses, one after the other, and dropped them into the little bowl she’d found on her bedside. Giving a little sigh, she reached out and brushed pads of her fingers against the etched name, giving the top a little pat as she stood.]
I'll bring you some real ones soon. [Her eyes moves to the rest of the gravestones.] All of you. Promise.
[October 21 - Floor 38 Lounge | OPEN TO ALL]
[Candy collecting was rather hard work, especially in the tower. She had taken a break in the lounge after finding three pieces of blue cotton candy, picking one of the numerous chairs and dragging it closer to the window to look over the scene below. The open fog, the clouds. It could have been a tranquil place to stay if one didn't know that the Tower was on its last legs and their entire environment could shatter around them.
Elena is curled up in the chair, her back pressed into a corner of the wingback, legs hanging over the arm, left foot bouncing to a tune in her head. She would relax here for just a few more moments before going back to the hunt. She didn't want to be lacking in candy when shit hit the fan.]
[October 22nd - Floor 53 Classroom | OPEN TO ALL]
[Since when did the Tower have a classroom? Standing in the doorway, Elena gave an uncomfortable cough before entering, a brilliant red apple sitting on the desk. Fitting. Given the fact she had nothing else to wear by her ShinRa Academy uniform, she looked like she belonged.
But there was just something about the silence of the room, of the desks being upside down, that made her skin crawl. It was a pity she couldn't just leave without finishing her search.]
[October 23rd - Floor 88 Bar | CLOSED TO RENO]
[It been a while since Elena had been to this floor - back when it had been run by dual Reno's and there had been alcohol. Oh, how she missed having alcohol. She wouldn't dare drink the random bottle that might be laying around, still full with questionable contents. That was a risk she wasn't willing to take.
The note had been left on Reno's nightstand, a simple message that would only be discerned by another Turk, after ensuring that all other residents had vacated the room.

She wouldn't lie, the temptation to lay on his bed for a few moments, but the risk was too great and she was back on the hunt for collecting candy. As the time for their meeting drew closer, she arrived at the location early, scanning the area first for any candy available and then to ensure there no pesky monsters or curious ears.
Once confirmed, she's eying the pool table. There was time for one round of billiards before Reno showed up, right? Right. Balls are racked and then broken with an audible 'clack', Elena engaging in a solo match against time.]

[Probably not as rude as Elena was being V/V. Elena is busy watching the female out of the corner of her eye, scrutinizing each movement, looking for signs of aggression. The question is a touch unexpected, but easy to respond to.]
Elena. [Pause.] That's an unusual name. Does it stand for something?
no subject
[V/V doesn't notice the intense scrutiny - she's both too busy looking for candy and too friendly to really mind being stared at.]
Elena's a very pretty name, though.
no subject
[Rising to her feet, Elena moves a touch closer. She had not intended to search the room for candy, but she's tempted to help the girl.]
Thank you. My mother chose it.
[And a heartbeat later.]
Have you been in the Tower long?
no subject
What about you? [She turns to look at Elena for the answer to this question, since she's not having luck with the candy.]
no subject
[Which means that they might have actually been brought to the Tower the same time - at least the first time she was brought to the Tower.]
I've been here only a few weeks. Maybe a month. Its hard to keep track in this place sometimes, what with all the horrible things that goes on.
no subject
[She could make marks in the wall but she hasn't seen those kinds of movies.]
no subject
[Because the former really dictated the length of the latter and was a much higher priority to track.]
Have you been involved in any of the activities that are going on to stop the destruction of the Tower?
no subject
[V/V answers simply, looking down.]
I don't think I'd be much help at anything.
no subject
....How do you know if you haven't tried? Everybody has an unique gift that can help. I'm sure you have one as well.
no subject
Well, I can play the guitar and sing, but I don't know how that would help? I'm not very strong or very smart, and I don't know many things that other people know.
