Tower of Prospect

Bast couldn't help but feel slightly confused at the behaviour of these humans. They were brothers yes? Gideon had confirmed that, and it seemed they hadn't seen each other for a while, or rather each had assumed the other dead. So then why did it feel so tense between them? She could practically smell it in the air. Nevertheless, she still shook the older brother's hand when he offered it, which was polite, and introduced herself to him. She could have excused herself then and there, and headed straight for the Containment Corps to get herself on the very next trek into the forest as she'd originally planned to do, but this strange situation kept her hanging around. What exactly was going on here with these two? Either something had happened in this war that Aldric had mentioned between them, or their culture just had an incredibly strange way of showing delight.

Renee nodded, trying to ignore the tone that the man was taking. What exactly had happened to him recently anyway? As they were going to the same floor, she simply closed the elevator, and waited awkwardly. Normally, she would have made some kind of small but pleasant conversation, but he already seemed to be irritated, and she didn't want to get involved.

Red String of... Fate?

The elevator finally arrived and Renee walked in, ready to head to the ground floor. Out of the corner of her eye however, she spotted a man who appeared to be also heading for the elevator, and out of politeness, held it open for him, just in case he intended on heading to a lower floor. If he walked in, she asked him "Which floor are you headed to?"

A sound behind her caused Coraline to turn, only for her to be greeted by a giant robotic arm bursting out of a locker. She yelped in shock, trying to duck out of the way as it reached for her, but it managed to grab her around the torso, pinning her arms to her side. She squirmed, trying to free herself, while also giving the bin a death glare for distracting her. The arm pulled her back into the locker, which shut, leaving her trapped in the darkness. A strange hissing sound filled the locker, and Coraline realized that it was some kind of gas, and increased her attempts to escape, yelling and backing on the door of the locker to try and catch someone's attention. However, her movements grew heavy, and soon enough, she passed out.

As she walked along the hallway, Coraline became aware of a slight scrapping sound behind her, as if something was dragging along the floor. She spun around to see a highly suspicious garbage bin sitting in the middle of the hallway behind her. She frowned, as she was certain that it hadn't been there a few moment ago. Deciding to test whether it was moving or not, Coraline made a mental note of the bin's position in the hallway, before turning and taking three steps forwards, and then checking to see if the bin had moved. As suspected, it was moving somewhat. She repeated this movement again, just to make sure, before turning around and staring at the bin, musing over what she should do. There wasn't anything reflective near here that was big enough for her to pass through, so she couldn't just go into her dimension and jump to class that way. She was also fairly certain that she didn't want to get caught up in whatever prank this was - probably some psychic or something was moving the bin around. But she had no way to combat a psychic, or, if it was being caused by some kind of spirit, she couldn't detect it. An idea then popped into her head - the bin wouldn't move while she was facing it, so if she just walked backwards to class, there would be no problem. With this in mind, Coraline took a few steps towards the class, keeping her body facing the bin, to see how it would react.

You seem to be doing fine mate. Question though, in your last post, who exactly are you referring to by "she"? Do you mean Akira or Coraline or...?

A potential kidnapping in this situation is probably an incentive to do that though.

Five aces of spades? What a way to ruin a bunch of decks, Coraline thought, slightly annoyed at how Ace had dodged the question. Her alarm went off, indicating to her that it was time to let the guy out of her dimension. As this classroom was now empty, she walked over to one of the windows, seeing her reflection, and ripped a hole in the space-time continuum, opening the door to her dimension. The guy from before stepped out, his hair and clothes a mess. She didn't really want to ask him exactly what he'd gotten up to in there - as long as he paid her she was good. He wordlessly handed her the money he owed, before half skipping out of the classroom in a blissful daze. Coraline put her stuff in her bag, and went to head into the hallway to head to her homeroom.

Coraline remained quiet for a moment, mulling what she'd seen over. They seemed realistic enough she supposed, although the last two were very vague. She guessed that was sorta what happened with future predictions though. As for the first one... well she would have to think about exactly what that one was trying to say. "It was certainly interesting." She murmured in response to Ace. "Thank you for doing that for me."

These cards were seeming more and more valid as time went on, but Coraline still made a mental note to doubt what fortune was predicted, or at least not take it too seriously. Hearing his comment about winning the deck, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of person he'd run into who'd had these lying around to bet with. "Who did you win these off?" She asked, before following Ace's instructions and touched the back of the cards.
