towerofanimus | For science and curiosity-!!

Characters: Roxas, and hopefully not everyone ever because this is dangerous and dumb.
Setting: Starting on Floor 22 (the art gallery), and going between there, 23 (the missing floor), and 24 (the room that's empty 99% of the time).
Format: I'll follow you to hell and back. ;o
Summary: Roxas settles his mind with a good ol' fashioned bout of Must Solve Mysteries.
Warnings: He's experimenting with a floor that (unknowingly at the moment) erases you. And is going to a floor with a 1% chance of having a mass of shadowy death on it. Oh, and it's Roxas being grumpy. This is probably all I need to say.

Stressing over the earlier tower destruction and restructuring would have to wait; like the weird, pitch-black place, he pushed the incident aside and completely ignored the implications. If he started with the biggest problem, then he'd miss too many details. Trying to figure out little things first would give him a better platform from which to bring this entire building down-

Okay, so maybe he was beginning to notice he'd been more violent lately, and a little more careless to boot. That was why he was doing this in the first place- marching up from floor 22, stopping at 24, then turning around and marching back down. There was a floor here, he knew it somehow, and it was going to eat at him every time he went anywhere until he figured it out. So, why not take care of it now?

The art gallery was quite pleasant, and Fran had taken time to perusing it as of late. The grotesqueness held within some of the pieces was simply inspiring to her eye, and she'd taken a particular shine to one that ohhh, maybe she could set about trying to reenact in real flesh - how would that look when it moved? The thought was exciting!

She'd paced away from that vista in particular, trying to follow the line of art style from painting to painting in hopes her favorite had been redone as a study from a different angle.

Then a several times familiar face resolutely stomped down the nearby stairs, and Fran stopped her wobbling pace to give a polite wave to Roxas. She'd heard similar footsteps from far away several times over when she was looking elsewheres, so she's rather curious to what he's up to.

"My, fancy seeing you again. Up to anything?"

Frankly, he was more on edge from hearing soft clicks every time he descended to the art gallery, so the sound of a voice was both startling and a relief. He'd half expected it to be a monster of some sort- and he wasn't sure if it was a good idea to get back in to that mindset.

"Um, sort of." He sounded tense, rubbing the back of his head and looking over his shoulder. Maybe focusing on the subject at hand would make him feel better- it was why he was here, after all.

"Have you noticed anything weird about these stairs?"

"Hm?"

At the question, Fran tromps over to the stairs to examine them for oddities herself. There's nothing obviously amiss, but...

"The third one up is sagging."

"Uh..."

Not what he meant, but Rox turned and found himself examining the stair. Being a KH Protagonist TM, he went to the third step and stomped on it, as if testing it's sagging-atude.

"...you might be right."

Huh. She had a good eye. Even if that wasn't what he'd meant at all.
