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? ]

[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. ]

[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. . . ]

[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.

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.

[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

[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...

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The person -- or whoever lived here --- might have took it with them when they left this place.

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[nohalation]

Something was taken...

[She seems UNSATISFIED, but she seems to have accepted it.]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. But we unfortunately don't have time to solve the mystery.

[And looking for Duality once they get back out into the courtyard]
