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.]

Oh, that's fine. I can just wear a big towel.

[ These aren't hot springs, Urotsuki..

She turns to look at Claudia again. Her expression is still pretty blank, but maybe her eyes are a slight bit wider. ]
.. So.. you never ever use the boys' locker room? Ever?
chainsawn: (everything fades under the sunlight)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-10-26 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
.. Never used them..? So where did you go changing to go swim then?

[ Of course Urotsuki wouldn't assume it means Claudia just.. never.. went swimming.. ]
chainsawn: (an important place in my chest aches)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-10-27 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
Then you can come swim here though, right? It's a tower, so there's no sun. [ She's probably skipping on the "very ill" part since that doesn't bring back very nice memories.. ]

It'll be fun. We can go swim together now.

[ It doesn't even occur to her the woman might be busy or anything of the sort. ]
chainsawn: (the town i lived in with you)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-10-31 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ .. Awww. Even though Urotsuki's expression is blank as always, there's something in it that seems faintly disappointed by the statement that she's busy - maybe exactly because it's so familiar.

They're always too busy, aren't they. That's what adults are like. ]


Is there really any time you'll have time..?
chainsawn: (despair; relief and the washed away rain)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-11-07 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.. [ There's still something disappointed in her tone, but she does want to believe a little in Claudia's words. Even if she's afraid of getting hurt, or even if the situation is a little too familiar in a painful way. ]

So.. I'll see you then, right..?
chainsawn: (the thorns that should have)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-11-09 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
... Me?

[ Who else is around right now, Urotsuki? In fact, maybe she's starting to realise that herself too, since she's looking around as if she's wondering if Claudia isn't talking to someone else. Why would someone ask her of all people..? ]

You're sure? I mean.. I don't mind helping..
chainsawn: (they still pierce right in)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-11-13 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ At that she stops attempting to pry open the locker she was standing in front of and instead patters over to the woman, looking up at her with big eyes even with her blank expression. ]

I'll do the best I can then. I'll help so well that you'll think nobody else can help you better-- that good.
