Such was the simple makeup of life, the building steps, and these factors applied all the same within the Floors of the Tower. As its occupants acted, so too did the Tower react, ever changing, constantly moving, and never stopping. The first of such fates was Caprice, who’s searching among the theater room revealed very little. It was hardly a hoarding place of Victoire’s treasures, but maybe treasures came in a different fashion. Gleaming somewhere among the useless junk was a hand mirror. Seemingly tossed away and forgotten, it held with it a certain charm that stood out among the rest of the tossed aside tools. Whether it contained some dormant power was yet to be seen but if nothing else, it would make for a hefty item to sell back at the Dangeki. Nothing else stuck out of interest unless Caprice wanted to rummage around in the theater room some more. By then, Thomas had since left the group, drawn to his own fate by the terrible power emanating from Victoire’s throne chamber. The boy was greeted straight with the sight of the giant serpent terrorizing everyone soon enough, a grander, much bigger version of the snakes he fought. All of these events and more happened as they should, calculated and predicted by the Tower’s functioning system. Even so-called anomalies like the Snake could be countered with precise action on the part of the Tower’s occupants. And yet, one event suddenly set the inner-workings on pause and delay from how sudden of a conjecture it was. It was brief, passing for just a moment, but it was there; the death of a card holder. The pause lasted for an eternity and for a heartbeat all at once while the Tower located the source of the occurrence. While true, many were likely to perish, and have perished, within the Tower’s walls, there was something off about this one. The Tower scanned, searched, locating, finding, until the image of Riku’s collapsed and bloodied corpse was noted. Despite her very obvious demise, there still remained sparks of life emanating from her. Curious indeed; so that was it then. In the time it took to ponder, it was the time it took to recognize and categorize the anomaly. Yes, this one would need to be watched. In the likelihood of another passing, she might even be taken in for further studies, though the Tower knew of her source all too well. At this point it was working on a curiosity of its own. Perhaps that was why it chose to grant her a boon of sorts. Identifying the weakest Serei card in Riku’s deck, the princess, when she eventually woke up from her restless slumber, would find her God of Hornets, Apia card replaced with a new, shining one that burned and radiated with power enough to tear her body asunder and send her right back to the Deathsphere. It was enough to even give the Snake momentary pause as well, flicking its head in Riku’s direction before ignoring her for its true prize. Why would it waste its time with another wolf? [hr]
