For Thine Is; Part One

Characters: anyone outside of the Tower
Setting: outside
Format: any
Summary: You have been transported out of the Tower, and you must return quickly.

It's pitch black here, though the ground is made of dirt and the Tower gleaming in the distance provides at least a sign that light exists somewhere. It's completely silent. It feels as if things might jump out at you--but that's probably your imagination.

[That thought was terrifying, that everyone could be out here and they wouldn't know. Could they even all get back, there were some very young people in the tower and though living in the tower made people grow up fast, he wasn't sure if they could travel quick enough on their own, and the panic in his collar made him think they had to go fast.] Let's hope they all get back then...

[bowandblade]

Indeed. They must be sensible and head back to the tower. There is nowhere else to go.

[Well, there probably was, but they had no way of looking around -- which was all for the better, if they didn't want to get distracted.

He walks in the direction that he had heard the boy's voice coming from, still proceeding somewhat towards the light.]

[savedbyasong]

Exactly and even if there was, it doesn't feel safe, I don't think we will last long out here [The panic in his collar worried him, the wireframes were made for the tower, there was nothing to keep them functioning out here.

[bowandblade]

All the more strange that we would be removed from the tower in the first place.

[Considering the situation, it should come as no surprise that he sounds displeased.]

[savedbyasong]

[Shion nodded] Did you hear Zo's voice... before we ended up out here... [It had all been really confusing but he was sure he had heard him]

[bowandblade]

I did. The boy sounded-- [he takes a moment to figure out a proper word] --haunted.

[Considering how much had gone on in the tower, to hear something like that from one of the administrators was downright strange.]

[savedbyasong]

He did... he sounded terrified... Something must have happened.

[bowandblade]

Something tied to the power going out? One would think the administrators know their tower well enough not to be surprised by it.

[savedbyasong]

That's a worrying thought, if something took them by surprise..." They had all the power and all the control so something that shocked them... like the explosions had, could never be good.
