Δ but is there a floor of just pots?
Characters: Link + open!
Setting: Dorm floor 1 and various other floors
Format: starting in prose, feel free to switch to brackets
Summary: Link arrives in the Tower and does a little exploring
Warnings: none so far
Dormitory floor 1, the surrounding halls of room 1-08
A tiny blond boy poked his head out of room 1-08 in the early afternoon of January 10th. He could have just as easily been friends with Rudolph, if it weren't for the (miniature) sword and shield he carried on his back. Pointy ears, little boots, a matching cap and tunic. He was obviously confused, eyes darting up and down the hall as he crept into view and shut the door behind him.
In a short life that had recently taken a turn for the unpredictable, this was the weirdest thing Link had seen yet.
He had read the letters, committed them to memory as well as he could. He wasn't about to take them to heart without at least learning more, especially not the one about the world ending. He was still here, right? Wherever here was.
What to do, then? Have a look around, of course. Start with all of these doors and see what he found! Link began travelling down the hall, knocking on doors and poking into each bedroom as he went. That always worked, right? There had to be something.
Floor 90
Here, Link felt more at home. He was travelling one by one through the floors, undeterred by the sheer magnitude of the tower.
Eyes darting between the stairs that would take him farther on his journey and the gently rippling waters of the lagoon, Link decided that taking a second to "test" the water couldn't hurt. He slipped his boots off and left them in the grass, smiling to himself as the sand of the beach ran over his toes.
He had yet to notice the occasional rippling of a fin gliding over the water's surface.
Floor 45
"Ooh..." Link's eyes widened as he set foot on the landing of the observatory. He frowned, though, when he noticed that it didn't offer much insight at all as to what was out there. It was only clouds. He was too high up, then?
He began to run around the perimeter of the great glass room, just to be sure.
Passing between floors 24 and 22
Twenty-four was completely empty and twenty-two was just filled with a bunch of paintings, he discovered from having a quick look around. Although it was odd that they would have a completely empty floor, that wasn't what confused him the most.
Where was twenty-three?
Link could be found jogging from floor to floor, as if hoping that somehow, this time, it would magically appear. If that didn't work, he'd be looking around on the surrounding floors. A secret switch? A door that he missed? There must be something somewhere!

He nodded, an enthusiastic and full-bodied motion. She wasn't going to steal them, was she? He needed those! The outfit he'd arrived in was ridiculous!]
no subject
Guess you need those, huh. I don't remember very well but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a floor made of spikes or something.
no subject
Spikes?!
no subject
Still, you need every bit of protection you can get, y'know?
no subject
You think it's a trap?
no subject
[She'd never thought of it that way. To her, bad things just happened here. It wasn't a trick]
Dunno, depends on how safe you feel right now I guess?
no subject
Seems fine! [he calls over. Sweet summer child hasn't exactly figured out that this is the Tower and everything kills you.]
no subject
[She inches a little closer cautiously, half expecting some kind of squid-shark hybrid with a million eyes and chainsaws for tentacles to come up out of the water and tear the poor boy the shreds]
no subject
But it was such a nice looking lagoon!]
I guess you have a point. [He frowns down at the water, where his feet are making little ripples.]
no subject
You're not from around here, are you?
no subject
[Is anyone? Link asks himself. He may be used to traps and treachery, but not from a perfectly innocent looking lagoon!]
no subject
no subject
[Link frowns slightly, his feet shuffling in the sand.]
no subject
I don't know what's in there but it'll probably try and kill you! I mean... you'll come back but it's still not nice.
no subject
Something about the way she says it, though...]
I'll come back?
no subject
It's been a while since I've been here things might have changed.
So don't get killed, alright?
no subject
[Link shakes his head slowly as he speaks, pulling on his boots once again.
That is one thing he isn't going to try.]
no subject
You know, just to be extra sure.
[She's not really good at the whole warning people things, especially since she hasn't been in the tower for a long time]
Say, what's your name anyway?
no subject
I will be.
