and mortal men and all things

Characters: The Disciple and you!
Setting: Room 2-05 and everywhere!
Format: Starting in action, will match!
Summary: The Disciple arrives and goes investigating.
Warnings: None at the moment?

[The Disciple awakes with a start, and panic sets in as she struggles to move for those first moments of being paralyzed. The moment she's free, she springs up and out of the bed in a flurry of sheets and hair. She stares around wildly, wondering if she's been captured despite her caution. In the next few minutes, she finds the letters and reads them, and then locates the chest and changes her clothing.

She slips out of the room cautiously and down the hallway, keeping herself pressed to the wall to keep as out of view as she can. But it's a little hard to hide when there's nothing in the halls to hide behind.]

[Aradia's making her way back to her room when she catches sight of the adult troll sneaking through the corridors. Part of her thinks it's probably a bad idea to disturb her but she also can't let a fellow troll seem so distressed and not say something, even if they're sweeps older than her.

Still, she maintains a safe distance before she speaks]

Um...excuse me. Are you all right?

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

[Shoot, she really can't hide in these halls! She turns to regard the younger troll, a little tense.]

I suppose so. As all right as I can be after reading what I found in that respiteblock.

You are...?

[megid0-maiden.livejournal.com]

Oh, you mean the world being destroyed? Yes, that's something you never do get used to.

[First Alternia, then their Earth and now, apparently, the entirety of paradox space, at least as far as SGRUB reaches.

At the question, Aradia shrinks back a little, wary of the adult greenblood for now]

I'm sorry. My name is Aradia. I arrived here only a few days ago myself...it seemed like you might need some help and I couldn't just turn a blind eye.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

I would hope it isn't. It's terrible that such a thing happened.

[She taps her chin thoughtfully. She was hoping to get some answers, but...]

I don't suppose you would know much about this place since you've newly arrived?

[megid0-maiden.livejournal.com]

I agree. Particularly when, as in this instance, it was so utterly unexpected.

[At least she had some warning of the others]

I suppose that depends what you want to know. I've explored all the floors a little, but I couldn't tell you much in detail I expect.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

Are there a lot of floors? What have you found so far in your exploration?

[megid0-maiden.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. I think I counted twenty? Each one is very different...some aren't really places to spend much time. But there's a forest floor, one with all kinds of video games and movies and stuff, a library...there's plenty to do here.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

A library? I must visit that floor when I have the time. What are the other floors like?

[megid0-maiden.livejournal.com]

[She smiles] Two, actually, though I haven't spent much time in the second. Other than that...well there's one floor, much further up...I don't really understand why but it's covered in bloody hand-prints. I didn't stay there long...someone told me about it before I saw it but it still doesn't make it any more pleasant a place to spend time. Oh and one floor appears to be a giant maze but I still need to explore that properly.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

That sounds dreadful! I'll be sure to avoid that- thank you for the warning.

[megid0-maiden.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Seems only right that I pass on the same warning I got.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

You're very civil and helpful. I only wish the rest of our kind might be as such.

[megid0-maiden.livejournal.com]

[She glances down a little]

Well, I'm sure there are reasons for our race being as it is. There's usually a reason for things, even if we don't understand or agree with it.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

Reasons or not it is... Unfortunate that is has to be so. I would have love to see it change for the better.

[megid0-maiden.livejournal.com]

You're not alone in that...the heiress I know hoped to effect that change when her time came...of course, that was before Alternia was destroyed.
