ITP: Tears in reality
Characters: Arturia and OPEN
What: Arturia does her job pre-event and investigates Floor 23 mid-event. Further prompts to be added as the event progresses to avoid spamming the comm.
Where: Circus Floor and Floor 23.
Warnings: Clowns. Possibly other things that come up.
[A: FLOOR eighty; CIRCUS FLOOR; PRE-EVENT]
Two in the afternoon: Time to go to work. As embarrassing and boring as her assigned 'job' in the Tower was, it gave her something constant to do during the day. Busy as she was between the research, her maps, and training Shirou, it was somehow comforting to know she had somewhere to be during the day. Something she had to work her day around, even if in her mind it was entirely optional.
Now if only the ring leader would stop sounding so disappointed about her performance. What did he wish her to do: dance? Her job was simply to take this too-lacey umbrella from one post to the other on a tightrope, nothing else. For a being like her it was a simple matter, something that took less than a minute. The only reason she stayed longer than that was to ensure no one got too close to the clowns. No need for them to make jump ropes out of the audience's intestines, if they had an audience at all that night.
Anyone wishing to speak with her after her minute on the tightrope would find her patrolling just inside the audience's seating, Caliburn in hand, occasionally glaring at a few clowns who strayed too close.
[B: FLOOR 23; Elevators; EVENT]
There was no better chance to map this particular floor than right now, even if she knew she had to be quick about it. There was much to be done and now that Aria was out in the open. Many opportunities, but that would have to wait until Between knowing what they did about the collar fluid now and the fact the chipped units were making a safe house of sorts for them, it felt like things were about to come to a head. In a way they were, as the residents of the tower were surely about to actively oppose Jason.
What looked like a rip in reality itself in the floor did not bode well in any way. It was not too big, no, but there was definitely something trying to push through and for the life of her Arturia had no idea what. Some part of her was thinking Jason, but no. He would be too busy right now. So what was it in there and was it one of the many things they were supposedly being protected from?
Once she was done with a quick sketch of the floor and a few notes on the tear, she knelt down by it, studying it closer, Caliburn in one hand just in case. For all she knew the tear could give way at any moment and whatever was on the other side intended to tear everyone here into a fine paste. If such a thing happened, she needed to stall it for as long as possible.
But what could it possibly be?

"Are you doing well?"
no subject
That said, he shrugged his shoulders. "Perhaps I am for the moment. Are you well?"
no subject
Happy as she was about Aria finally making an appearance, Arturia was unsure about telling people to prepare to stop Jason. If the man was smart he would stay downstairs, but if he came up here. Well.
There would be a massacre. Of him and of the residents. One she knew she could not stop.
no subject
no subject
Was this man mad with how casually he spoke of such things? Arturia gave him a concerned look and half wondered if she should walk away before he truly began to show his madness.
no subject
"There are far more important things to worry about than a mob of witless sheep."
no subject
Was this guy sane? Seriously. The more he said the more she was convinced he lacked not only sanity but compassion.
"Those 'witless sheep' are people. People who could die and who could very well kill the man responsible for us being brought back."
no subject
In fact it was him who was starting to question everyone's sanity.
"And what do you think will happen afterwards? That everything will become better? Double rainbow all the way across the sky. Do you think we will go home or that things will be bright and friendly?"
no subject
Then again, the scientists in the tower figured out the fluid in the collars. Perhaps they could figure out the Virus as well in such a short time if given the right resources?
"So no. Things won't be bright and friendly after this. If anything we'll have more work ahead of us."
no subject
"At least you're not as blind as them. Killing and dismantling the Man will do nothing. And you're right. It will just make things worse. Like with what is in front of us, right now. Growing and expanding."
