Who: You, perhaps
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 98, Late night

[ A noise splits through the night, waking many of those who were sleeping, alarming many of those that were not. If you go to the window or streets to see what made that racket, you will find there is not much to see at all-- darkness has stolen into the city, stolen away all the power from the street lights, dorm lights, even the glow from your smartphone screens. The air is oppressive with expectation. The noise, the lights out, surely this is the sign there is something more coming? That feeling hangs heavy, palpable.

. . .

. . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

And then, you hear it.

A splintering sound, the crack of door hammered in finally giving way. And then, light. A fracture in the air like lightning, vertical and spidering down to the ground that doesn't vanish-- hanging there, light streaming out into the darkness.

Approach? ]

[Everything is whooooooooa and woozy and wooooooowee, but she comes to eventually and looks around.

She definitely likes this place.]

It's like a labyrinth, wowee.

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ Wowee, it really is! ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Wowee, indeed. Remind you of home?

[As he's saying this, Intensity pushes back the curtain to one of the doors and peeks in - careful to stand to one side of the door as he does so]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ At the very end of the hall, there is a peculiar room. Despite the doorway being covered by nothing but curtains, this room is impenetrable. It's not that you can't pass through it, but - you don't want to pass through it. No, it's like there's nothing there. Was there a doorway? Is there a room?

No, you should go. There's nothing here. ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[nohalation]

[Oh.

I should go.

What if I open another curtain, are there other curtains]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ there are other curtains although now that you're turning away this is happening. . .

The next room is bare: one cot sits against the wall, and shelves indent the wall opposing for clothing and personal effects. Well, there aren't any personal effects here though, except for a wooden sword and a bright trinket. Just like in the hallway, there are holes in the ceiling for light to enter, and the ambient light - the crackling in the back of your throat - is enough for you to see everything comfortably. ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Walks inside to more closely examine the trinket]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ It glistens brightly, too brightly; there's not much direct sunlight here, but it still holds its shine almost to the point of being its own light source. Wherever you touch, it becomes dimmer . . . ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hmmm...

Picks up the sword instead]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ Just like the swords in the courtyard, it couldn't open any wounds on anyone. Swing it too hard and you'd most assuredly break it. Still, it's . . . something . . . . ? ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[nohalation]

[Can I play with the trinket...]

[wait is her throat showcasing light]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ Not showcasing so much as feeling like light - like you just chugged a whole bottle of sparkling water, except it happens every time you breathe. ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[nohalation]

[opens her mouth and closes it like a fish, wondering if she is like a funny flashlight for a second]

[Leaves the room to OPEN ANOTHER CURTAIN DOOR]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

The room itself is bare: one cot sits against the wall, and shelves indent the wall opposing for clothing and personal effects. Well, there aren't any personal effects here though.

Peculiarly, one of the shelves has a dim spot in the shape of a flower. . . ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[nohalation]

[Reaching up to touch the dim spot]

What was here before...

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

A dim spot means something that came from outside was touching there.

[He holds up the fruit he still has and where it's dimming where he's touching it to emphasize his point]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[nohalation]

Oh! Then I should go find it and put it back!

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes, let's see if we can find the missing flower.

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[nohalation]

[RUNNING BACK to the courtyard to look for a flower ornament]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ There are several flower ornaments, but nothing as big as the dim flower spot in the shelf . . .

While you're out, though, you can see this. ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[nohalation]

[Oh.

Looks at Intensity if he followed her out.

DO YOU SEE THIS??????]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Yes, he sees this and is immediately heading back into the basement]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[nohalation]

[Following after him!]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He's just going to make this annoucement to the people in the basement before taking Angel's hand and heading back upstairs with her in tow.

How about not trapping Angel in a place that obviously doesn't want here her]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[nohalation]

[clutching to the hand and following after]

I couldn't find the flower in the courtyard at all...
