four.
Characters: Claudia Hortensia & OPEN
Setting: Floor 82, Floor 7, Floor 48, the stairs outside Floor 27, Floor 3, Floor 82 again, & choose your own adventure.
Format: Brackets preferred
Summary: Candy-hunting catch-all post
Warnings: Will add as necessary
I. Sunday - Floor 82
[Well... That was unexpected. Claudia, mask removed, stands alone in the ballroom that makes up this floor, a small bag held in her hands. She rifles through it, but she finds nothing of particular note; it's just more candy.]
[Then who, exactly, was that person? What was that all about?]
[She decides to go through with her seep of this floor as she had intended to, before the interruption. But, really, it's less about finding candy now and more about try to see if there's anything else to be found here that might provide some kind of explanation.]
II. Monday - Floor 7
[Claudia doesn't want to swim, but that doesn't mean she's going to ignore this floor. So today, rather than checking the pool itself, she can be found rifling through the lockers. In both locker rooms, actually, because she's completely ignoring the genders they're labeled with.]
[No biggie.]
III. Tuesday - Floor 48
[This seems like a natural place to search, given her job as a gravekeeper, so Claudia makes her sweep of this floor at the same time she performs her duties. At first she thinks nothing of it when she leans down to retrieve the chocolate roses lying across one of the graves, but then her eye happens to glance the name engraved there, and she frowns.]
[Aoi Tohsaka.]
[Surely... It must be a coincidence. She tells herself that, but she still finds herself lingering, her brow furrowed.]
IV. Wednesday - Outside Floor 27
[Claudia doesn't actually set foot on the laboratory floor. Instead, she lingers outside it, on the stairs, seeming uncertain of what to do. She could search this one. It probably wouldn't be too dangerous, provided she doesn't put her hands in anything they shouldn't be in. But...]
[But she can't bring herself to step forward, so she's stymied.]
V. Thursday - Floor 3
[Claudia doesn't intend to go searching for candy today! She's gathered quite a bit over the last four days, after all, and she thinks she's earned a break. So, this afternoon, she can be found in the library rather than roaming the Tower, quietly reading a book.]
[...The feeling that she should keep looking is nagging at her, though, so she's a little more unsettled and agitated than she'd like to be on her "day off." She's trying not to let it get to her, but the feeling probably comes across in her demeanor more than she would care for it to...]
VI. Friday - Floor 82
[For the third time, she's come to this floor, and for the third time, she's encountered that person. She doesn't know anything more than she did the first time; they said nothing to her even when she tried to speak to them. Truthfully, she feels rather frustrated. Mask discarded, she doesn't even bother to check the inside of the bag this time, scowling at the empty air.]
VII. Whenever, Wherever
[Other than the prompts given above, Claudia will be investigating the following floors on the following days:
Sunday, afternoon to evening: 101, 100, 99, 96, 94, 93, 88, 87, 86, 83, 81, 1
Monday, morning to noon: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 21
Tuesday, afternoon to evening: 50, 51, 53, 54, 55, 56, 58, 60
Wednesday, afternoon to evening: 82, 21, 22, 25, 28, 19, 18, and most of the others she searched on Monday
Thursday, throughout the day: None! She can be found around Floors 1, 3, and 101 at various times, however.
Friday, afternoon: 62, 40, 39, 38
So if you'd like to run into her on any of these floors, have at it.]

[And for once it doesn't seem to involve him. Lucky.]
no subject
[She looks back to the headstone and frowns to herself.]
There were candy roses left here.
no subject
Ugh. Looks like Ruana's game has fucked up humor. Again.
no subject

[He shrugs.]
Or maybe it is really just a coincidence. Can't understand how Ruana thinks sometimes.

I didn't. I've been looking.

[He leans against Aoi's gravestone.]
And you? Aside from the game, that is. You and Kariya still together and happy, right?
no subject
I can only speak for my end, but yes, we are together and I am happy.
[She doesn't bring up the Kirei issue, because that's not something she needs to discuss with Lancer.]
Aside from that, I'm as well as can be expected, I think.
no subject
[His expression falls a little.]
I'd help you look for this candy so you could keep safe, but...
[He can't see any. At all.]
no subject
It's fine, Lancer. I can take care of it myself.
no subject
[He frowns as he sees her turning away. She seems embarrassed...but there's no blush on her pale cheeks.]
You or Kariya. Keep an eye on him. He's stubborn sometimes.
no subject
He is, I know. [It's one of the things she finds attractive about him, even if it can be frustrating in mundane, day-to-day ways.] I try my best, but it's a thin line to walk. It's important to take care of him without smothering him.

Out-stubborn him, hm? That sounds like it could be a challenge. It's a good thing I've been known to be pretty stubborn myself, in my time.
no subject
...Anyone ever tell you you should laugh more? It makes your voice sound like bells.
no subject
[There's not really a nice way to say it, so she just tells him this bluntly.]
no subject
...Oh. Sorry.
What happened?
[He whispers the question, half hoping she didn't hear it. As far as he knows, just coming into the Tower made people laugh less. Hell, even Lancer hasn't been as cheerful as he should be lately.]
no subject
no subject
Well, whatever happened is over now. Hopefully Kariya will make you laugh more again.
