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?

Olette was coming down from the twenty-fifth floor when she heard Roxas's footsteps for the first time, but she didn't make it down to floor twenty-four in time to see him. She blinked once, then twice, because the room was far more empty than she'd been expecting. After about a minute she heard the footsteps again, and she waited.

The blond seemed determined to find something, Olette just wasn't sure what. But before she could speak, he'd turned around and headed downstairs again. She was struck with an urge to follow him, but something told her that if she stayed put, he'd be back; sure enough, he was, and this time she didn't wait before she spoke.

"Hello! What are you doing?"

Now, most people he'd met here were quick to get involved and prod in to things. He hadn't expected to go too long without some sort of intrusion to explain what he was up to, but...

"-Olette?!"

He wasn't...expecting...this. In fact, he spun around so quick to face her that his heel slid, nearly sending him toppling down the stairs. Even that didn't stop him from running closer, completely abandoning his task (for the moment, it is Roxas after all).

"Is that really you? Are you okay?" The stress was sort of seeping out of his words, but for the most part, cautiously. He didn't want to get his hopes up.

She looked more than just a little puzzled when he called her name. She hadn't introduced herself yet, so how in the world had he known it...?

The probability of her having some sort of twin that shared the same name was incredibly low, she knew that much. So how...? Try as she might, she couldn't think of where she knew this boy from. He did remind her of Sora, or maybe Sora had reminded her of him...? But no, if she couldn't place his name, how could that be?

"Um..." She met his eyes, briefly, then looked down at herself. "I'm fine." She hadn't tripped and fallen and as of yet she hadn't died, but...

Her brows furrowed after a moment.

"...I'm sorry. But, have we met somewhere before?" She wasn't going to claim she didn't have a good memory. She knew she had a good memory, and if this boy actually knew her, he'd know that was a lie. She offered him a small, apologetic smile and met his eyes once more.
