ITP: Maps

Characters: Arturia and big!Sephiroth
Setting: Floor 38, then 40
Format: Action
Summary: Sephiroth and Arturia share information regarding the layouts of downstairs.
Warnings: Diarmuid may have some 'splaining to do later on.
Notes: Backdated to the second day of the Carnival.

[The note said to come after lunch to the lounge on floor thirty-eight and so Arturia was here with the now fairly large and stuffed sketchbook she had of her maps of the tower held tightly to her chest to keep stray bits of paper from falling to the ground.It was not just downstairs she had mapped, after all, but the Tower itself and the majority of monsters she had encountered and their effects. Something she had worked on almost every day from the moment she had arrived here.

Truth be told, she had wondered where Sephiroth had been in the last few days--at least, she assumed his name was Sephiroth. He bore such a resemblance to the younger one she assumed that had been his name. Though she might have been wrong, like with Urotsuki and Sheba. Just because they shared a face, they did not share a name. Though the "S" on the letter made her feel confident about her knowledge.

When she reached the thirty-eighth floor, she looked around for him. He was a fairly tall man with long flowing white hair and piercing almost glowing green eyes. It was not hard to spot him and when she found him, she did not hesitate in walking up to him:]


For a moment I thought I had the wrong floor.

[Sephiroth's own diagrams are nothing as large as Arturia's but he too pulls out a few pages and opens them up. Not quite placing them over the top of Arturia's larger pages but to the side of them.]

No one can guarantee it's maintained the same at all times either. I recall at least one occasion when it was implied at being changed around.

[On account of 'damage' they had all caused when Dax had let them down there, if he recalls correctly. Sephiroth had been there as well, then, and shortly afterward on Ganon's own mission. He pauses on the diagram of Ruana's quarters, rolling another buried memory around somewhere between his conscious thoughts and that safe box such memories were kept in; he'd died in that room. Then tracing his gaze over the resurrection machine, he nods positively to Arturia.]

It seems accurate enough as far as I recall, at least.

[Sephiroth reaches out to one of his diagrams, spread out over three notebook-sized pages, to draw Arturia's attention over to it. It's a very rough diagram, hardly accurate when compared to her own extensive notes, but it illustrates the basic shape of the power usage of the Tower. It's annotated lightly with points of interest, such as 'Elevator shaft?' 'power cores?' and 'Zo.']

This is taken from a hologram, which our group accessed through a terminal in Riki's area. Again, accuracy is questionable; not long afterwards we all started seeing things.

Exactly.

[Sephiroth watches Arturia start to copy down the map that until now has been kept exclusively within the Evil Alliance. Dimly gleaming green eyes skim over the several pages that she has presented as well, flicking rapidly as he commits as most of it as he can to memory.

That machine. Those hallways which had led off to, what seemed like, each of the separate Admin's areas. Before the end of Dax, this was. He fancies he might be able to pin point, where he had gone off alone and found Riki's control room at the time. All those screens. All those lasers-

Arturia's question snaps him out of it and he looks with the speed of a reaction to where she's pointing.]


This conglomeration of power usage, it's in his area. [He tilts his head to the side in a light shrug] I've not been there myself, or at least to my knowledge, but there are others that seem to know more about these details than I do.

[Begrudgingly, that much is obvious from his tone. Sephiroth has had to do a lot of taking others' words for a lot of things recently.]

I suppose no one can be deemed an expert.
