rakuen | [backdated to round 4 rest day] Tower exploration [open to all]

Characters: Everyone who wants to!
Format: Prose/action/whatever you feel like
This log is: Open
Location: Everywhere, well this post is in the courtyard, your character can start anywhere and the end destination is the humming tower
Summary: Alright so Elle gave me permission to start this thread, pretty much on the rest day of round 4 the northenmost tower is unsealed (see this thread: Here)

So pretty much this is the everyone who wants to goes to the tower and meets in the lobby (by coincidence), but once we get to the loby we wait for Elle.

So take your pick, you can either overhear Romeo and Grenn and tag along with them or your character can make their own way/go exploring alone/in other groups etc

Once you get to the loby the description from Elle is:

"The lobby of the tower is empty other than having white walls with red highlights. There's a tiger-head decoration around in a few places. The floors are pale, seamless stone. Other than a slight breath-like hum and vibration in the walls, there is no sound from within the tower. It's a little too warm temperature-wise to be comfortable. Uhhh what else... I think that's it."

Warnings: Will be added as necessary

"Miss Grenn, Miss Grenn!" An excited voice called, an excited voice that belonged to the filthy disheveled kid that was tearing across the courtyard towards poor Grenn.

Romeo had ran as fast as he could! Every day he went to check on the towers, going round each one every morning after his training with Zoro and nothing ever changed, they were all silent and still except the one that hummed faintly. Nothing ever changed; until today.

"It's open it's open! The tower! I went today and the gate is open!" He hadn't gone inside, hadn't dared to go in alone. After all Grenn new so much more than him about the towers and he had promised to inform her if anything changed. That was why he went each day. He paused to get his breath back as he had been running really hard and grinned at Miss Grenn, excitement shining in his eyes.

Threaded | Flat

Something had been off that morning, and it wasn't due to the fact that a new round would be/had started today. No, it was something else, so before she and Kotarou went for breakfast, Huashi went for a run through the forest. She didn't like the tower that was closest to their hideout, but when she made to loop around it, she heard it.

That noise.

Eyes narrowing, Huashi dashed closer, and found the gate open (not that that had stopped earlier exploration, but it wasn't as if she'd been able to get in), and, when she tried the door, it opened too. But what caught Huashi's attention was the writing on the door.

She recognized her own bit of Legend Fragment in the short bit of text. Pushing the door open, just to stare in at the white walls with their red highlights, Huashi grinned. It was a narrow-eyed, cocky little smirk.

"Proper story, finally! Kotarouuuu~" Huashi called (despite the fact that he'd be too far away to hear her) as she turned away, barely closing the door behind her as she ran back to the hideout. They'd have breakfast first, of course, and they'd have to be at the round announcement probably, but after that!

There was only one way to go, after all, and that was down the dark path.

Well, at least, Grenn had the time to consider as Romeo came barreling towards her, she'd had lunch before she had to try and think enough to keep up with Romeo. It may have been a bit... discharitable to think of any interaction with the sweet boy in such a way, and Grenn didn't really mean it in a bad way.

He just confused her (well, slightly more than people in general did).

Then he caught up to her and excitedly told her why he'd went looking for her, and Grenn's eyes widened. Open? That was---
"That's... Fr--- I mean, that's amazing!" Then she frowned and shook her head, trying to think. Why now? Romeo had given her a Legend Fragment yesterday, but that wasn't the first Fragment, she didn't think, that had been bought, but she was sure this had to be something connected to the fragments...

"... Right. Okay. I'm gonna need to change to my legs... I suppose I could put the wheelchair in the lobby before the dining hall, it'll be out of the way..." Grenn mused out loud (and there were toilets there, so she could snap the prostethics on without showing off the high-tech connectors to all and sundry). She would, ideally, have wanted more than herself and Romeo, but at the same time, there was no actual proof this would be dangerous.

Still, she would have liked Sora, or Gino... or someone else she could trust (that was marginally grown up), beside an excitable child. Grenn looked over at Romeo with a frown.

"I'm not sure... if we should go out of the way to find people, that could take a while. Do you have someone you really want to come with?" Despite the fact that they weren't that many in the school, it could take quite a while to find anyone in particular.

It occurs to Sherlock to check the tower sometime shortly after midnight, which means that it takes him a little longer to read the note on the door than it would in better light. Well, so be it.

After counting the windows around the outside of the tower and noting their placement—just so he can see if it agrees with what he finds inside—he tries the door.

Huashi & Kotarou!

(late night after the rest day - is it still open/lit at night?)
