Characters: Kanaya and you (yes, you)
Setting: Around the tower
Format: Starting with action, will match
Summary: Kanaya doing various things
Warnings: None!

Floor 1 - Dining
[Kanaya is sitting in the cafeteria with a place of food in front of her, it is mostly untouched, well mostly uneaten, she has moved the food around the plate quite a few times. Every time she goes to take a bite she puts the fork down right before she does. She's thinking too hard to stop and eat. Kanaya may be noticeably uneasy.]

Floor 7 - Pool
[She removed her clothing and put on one of the bathing suits the tower provided even if she didn't plan on actually swimming. Instead she puts her feet in the water, occasionally kicking them to stir up the water a bit, but it doesn't look like she is going to go in anytime soon]

Floor 14 - Media room
[Kanaya is reading a book. Or she was reading the book at one point or another. If you've been watching for a while she hasn't turned the page in a really long time. In fact, she may have fallen asleep.]

Floor 15 - Work shop
[It's been a while since she's spent time in the workshop, she hopes that she can distract herself for a bit, to take her mind off of what has been troubling her. It may not go as she planned]

...and before that was... the power outage, yes? [He's thinking -- and she's right. These things seem to follow a pattern. How morbid it must be, to consider what happened in there to be a minor issue. He should have gone in... but he had no way to protect himself, or anyone else... at the time...] ...i see...

Something horrible is going to happen. [she's scared]

...yes. [Instead of scared like Kanaya, his voice is just... dead. Vacant. He's going to lean against the table and put his head down on his arms, allowing a single irritated sigh.]

How do you suggest we prepare?

...We can't prepare. We don't know anything about this tower. For all we know, reality itself could be distorted and there is nothing we can do about it because we are trapped and foolish and useless!

[Rage.]

We have to do something! I will not sit around when we could end up being operated on! I will not allow anything like that to happen again even if I do not know how to help. [she lets out a shakey breath] I don't know how to help.

[Long, long pause.]

...i'm sorry.

[Now that we have that out of the way...]

...well... it will probably have to do with further interference of this... 'ruana' person. ...she has control of the tower... just like the owners do, so... they're probably going to... squabble.

[Understatement of the week, guys.]

Yes, Ruana most likely caused the last event, but she also revealed that there are more people here. People who they are holding captive away from the rest of us. If we can just get her to open the service elevator, that is if she's still alive after what she did, then we could send in a type of rescue team to get her out of there. That may give us an advantage over our other captors. [she thinks] Do you think calling her out on the network would work?

...yes... the owners would almost certainly interfere if we did... but... it seems necessary.

Calling her out on the network may warrant no reply from anyone, it could put us more at a disadvantage, they would know we are on guard.

...then we need to track her down by some other means. you... did you see anyone unusual... while you were through the door...?

I don't know any other means, even the strongest couldn't force open that service elevator. [she shakes her head] I don't think so. Did you?

...i never went through it... [He averts his eyes briefly.]

[she nods] Who knew what dangers lay on the other side, I don't blame you for not going. I saw a lot a blood and a lot of rubble, it wasn't pleasant.

...nothing... we could use, i assume.

Nothing at all.

...well... at least you're alive. [He kind of wants to put his head in his hand again, but that might not be the best idea lest any more mood swings come on. Seriously guys, this place cannot be good for the psyche.]
