Passage [active/OPEN]

[beautifulrondo]

Character(s): Open
Content: The stakes are high and the only way to go is up. People have come to this floor looking for a door, but what will they find when they go through?
Setting: Clusterfuck Floor (the highest one so far)
Time: Nighttime
Warnings: Depends on who replies, I suppose. XD
Note: Multi-thread format. Form up whatever groups you'd like! Once the door is found, I'll edit a note in here letting people know what thread to have their characters run to if you all want in on the opening action. You're looking for a giant tower, as jumbled up and mismatchy as everything else in the world. There will be the usual Castle Oblivion door somewhere in there, and you are free to write the tower however you like.

The door opening sub-thread can be found here!
Please don't worry about posting order during this thread. We're trying to push through on into endgame, so if you have an opening for your character to post in/your character has something to say, have them go ahead and say it.

To someone who was used to seeing the world as the result of so much code, the floor that the door was meant to be hidden on was nothing short of a wreck. It was as if it had been designed by far too many people, most of whom who hadn't been in contact with any of the others.

Needless to say, it wasn't much of a surprise that he'd all but retreated into a relatively normal spot of the floor, as he tried to get his processors to deal with the fact that everything was far weirder than the strange User world had already been. Honestly, he'd expected more of User-kind, from all that many programs had once believed them to be capable of.

The floor was unlike anything Sora had seen before. Was the castle... broken somehow? Or was this a deliberate thing, to try and throw them off, and make finding the last door difficult?

As he explored, he ran into a familiar figure.

"T-- Rinzler? What are you doing here?"

[biphasic]

Rinzler couldn't have said if the mess of the floor was a deliberate or a result of some piece of code being misplaced somewhere. All he knew for certain was what he could see, and that was hardly any great help in the long run. Not when he barely knew who'd been responsible for creating the castle in the first place. He couldn't say Sora's appearance made things all that much better, either.

"Exploration."

[lovestherunning]

A new floor meant something new to explore, and was often always a source of great excitement for Jenny as she made her way there, thought when she finally arrived and saw it, she had to admit it was far from what she had expected. As if chaos has erupted upon the floor, but even that in the end wouldn't deter her from continuing her explorations of it.

Of course, she only took time to actually stop exploring when she finally spotted someone in the distance. She moved closer towards him, stopping a good distance from him still.

"Hey!" She called to him in greeting.

[biphasic]

From a distance, Rinzler could almost be mistaken for a flesh-and-blood person, albeit one that was wearing a rather unusual set of armor. Still, for all that he wasn't really tolerant of Users, Jenny was at least someone new, and thus presumably wasn't someone who would continue to insist he was a different program entirely.

Either way, he didn't really offer a verbal response. He did offer something approximating a nod at her greeting, but other than that the only thing he had to offer was the almost ever-present grating rumble that followed him wherever he went, though she'd need to be at least relatively close to pick up on that particular detail.
