[FLOOR 48 - Aqua

So far it had been all right, though the novelty was wearing off. The past few floors he'd been a bit careless... but it had been worth it so far. Now it was time to consider the next floor... this had been a good way to catalogue mass floors at once, after all. He gets on the elevator, and selects the number of the floor at random. 48 seems like a nice arbitrary number, considering his location... and thus he stands to wait for the elevator to finish its trip.]



[DAY 25 - Terra

Trying to ignore the thoughts of candy and searching, trying to avoid other people who might be looking... he was tired of it all. He'd been looking for five days already, and it was getting increasingly less effective. Now, he instead listlessly wanders the hallways to distract himself, not venturing onto floors, trying to avoid anything to do with the event.]



[Maybe you're looking for candy too! He's definitely looking for candy, as well as interesting places to look for it. Perhaps you bump into him on the way between floors... he'd like a diversion or to stop and chat with an acquaintance. He certainly has his hands full, if nothing else!]

2...2nd? And floor 68

[withani]

[This floor always seemed like a good floor to use ghost powers on, if her experience was any indication. Being able to fly meant tricky footing was less of an issue, and intangibility made rockslides and falls more of an adventure than dangerous.

Still, it was rather uncommon to see other people on this floor, and even less common to see them doing something on it, rather than just passing through. Dani floats up behind Terranort, not bothering to be quiet but flying around not being the most loud of activities in the first place. She peered over his shoulder, curiously]

What'cha doing?

oh boy let the best duo ever meet

[terra_nullius]

[Oh, he's having a wonderful time, Dani. He's managed to cling onto the mountain, and is making very slow progress in what appears to be some sort of search. He's startled when he hears her voice, however, and almost lets go of his grip for a moment, wheezing slightly as he huddles against the mountain to collect himself.

Then he looks up and his eyes go big because HOW]

... how are you... but the wind... magic?

[withani]

[Dani raises an eyebrow. This guy isn't exactly the most coherent, is he?]

Uh... not exactly. I'm a ghost. I'm just flying.

[Half-ghost, technically but details. Still, she notices that slip, just a bit. She might have fun doing goofy, pranksterish things at times, but this was a little different. This was actually dangerous.]

You okay there?

[terra_nullius]

[He gives her a look. It sure must be nice to be able to float around and not deal with the wind or the other obstacles on this stupid floor.]

So I take it that because you're talking to me instead of stealing my life energy or otherwise trying to harm me that you're not the sort of ghost that they would cultivate in this place.

When did you die? How did you come back?

[withani]

Yeah, no. I'm a resident, same as you are.

[She pulls at the neckline of her outfit a bit to make a little more obvious the collar she's wearing, same as him.

The questions meanwhile, are a bit harder to answer. She debates for a few moments whether it's worth it to come up with a story, then decides against it. She's talking to a guy with silver hair. She's seen all sorts of strange things here already.]

And... I'm only half-ghost, technically. I could demonstrate but I'd rather not do that up here, if you know what I mean.

[terra_nullius]

Half-ghost? How is that even possible?

[He's not really sure he wants to think about it.]

So that gives you powers of being ethereal and flight, I see. It's already an apt demonstration. [He smiles a little bit from where he's clinging to the rock face.] It must come in handy in a place like this. There's all sorts of secrets waiting to be discovered. Can you go through walls too, or are they too tangible for that?
