Exploring

[regenleif]

Characters: Capell and open
Setting: Room 1-18 and then Staircases Monday also floor 55 (incinerator)
Format: Any
Summary: Capell wonders what is going on now.
Warnings: nothing major

[Just after explosions] The explosions had woken Capell up. He blinked into the darkness of his room and stood up, he had no roommates to disturb so he grabbed his sword, slipped on his shoes and stepped into the corridor blinking in the flickering light. At first nothing seems wrong, but Capell has been here long enough to know that explosions are never good things. And after last month he is incredibly wary of them.

When he gets to the staircase it is obvious what has happened, or at least what it has caused. Capell goes no where near the wires, they don't look safe. But he does walk down the staircase a few floors, the damage continues.

[Later: floor 55] With the power fluctuating it is hard to see on floors that don't have natural light. Which was why Capell was on this floor, with some bundles of wood he had gathered from the forest, to try and make a burning torch that could at least last him a few floors. He had some spare wood as well, because unlike his own world there were a lot of people who could not produce light here, and they might need them.

[Even later, back on the staircases] At first he thinks its just reflections from the torch, the rippling. But he soon realises that it only happens when he is near the staircase, and it is more like last time. Like the void that appeared. It's a terrifying thought because last time had been awful, and Capell didn't want anything like that to happen again.

But he's been here a few months now, long enough to have heard stories. That the terrifying things that he wished wouldn't happen again, happened with alarming frequency.

Staircases

It was only a matter of time before events in the tower would act up again, and Darres can't say he was surprised they did, either. If it was anything like last time, they were in a heap of trouble, and it was exceptionally hard keeping people safe.

At some point, Darres had accidentally stumbled upon another. It was a face he's seen around the tower before, but never met personally. It was apparent how unhinged the other was becoming.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

Just after explosions

[keywrite]

Last time there were explosions, Riku had ended up trapped in his room for a week. This time was thankfully different, even though he'd been woken up from a sound sleep by said explosions and woke up feeling extremely panicked.

It took him several floors to get over that panic, and also several instances of nearly getting electrocuted by damaged staircase areas. He was using the tip of his keyblade--with the top covered in flames, totally a good idea--as his own version of a torch.

He was keeping it away from people, though, like when he encountered Capell.

"Hey, do you know what's going on?"
