[(OOC: This post contains some Hymmnos font, it can be found here, but it is not necessary as the english writing for it is also provided, but it helps aesthetically. If you choose not to get it, you'll simply see the english writing for it twice. Aurica will be able to use the language from this point on, so expect more of it in the future.)]
♪ BGM: Azure Sky (R)
Wow... this is the tower.
[There was only so much that could be said about it — Aurica recieved two packages in the mail this weekend, and finally decided to make use of their contents after a lot of thought. The tower took up a good chunk of the backyard, stretching as high as her neck could bend. But it was a lot shorter than she was used to. What happened?
She went to the large door and looked over it, puzzled for a moment. Then remembering, she held out a hand to it.]
exec bansh dand ar noes
Exec bansh dand ar noes.
(Command: Open the door for me.)
[Electronic images began to appear in front of Aurica's hand, as if they were holographic images and windows, full of code and text. The tower sounded some noises, and then another hologram appeared, this time of a person.]
FFT Spectrum authorization confirmed. Aurica Nestmile. [The hologram smiled, as if remembering her. Aurica smiled back, glad to see Meimei again.] Code verified. You are authorized to proceed. Good day.
[The holograms all disappeared, while the door shuddered and cracked open, the two halves moving into the sides of the tower. She moved inside and the doors closed behind her. The interior wasn't well-lit aside from the light at the top, and in the place of metal holdings and shuttles, a simple stairway led up. She carefully made her way though, until about halfway there was a crystal platform in the middle of the floor.
..Oh right, the tower is split in half, isn't it?
Aurica tested the platform, and began to shimmer in a light, suddenly whisked away to the next floor. She climbed more stairs after that, before coming to another clearing, this time with two large pods, a telescope, and a ladder. Not thinking much of the other two, she took to the last item and scaled it, finding herself outside.
From the top, the Rinkernator Observatory, she could see out for blocks. It amazed her, never being able to see such a view before. It made her smile, taking a moment to herself.]
It's beautiful. I've been to space itself on this before, but this looks so great even so.
[Still, she had a duty to do. She cleared her throat, and began to focus.
Shurelia-sama, you always wanted a break from being an Administrator, didn't you?
This was the place of rebirth, the changing of the guard that never happened before in Ar tonelico's history. Now its true purpose would be realized. It was time to take the role, herself. Meanwhile, the tower itself awaited her voice, the only one it was going to recognize at this point.
And so, she took upon herself both of their muted requests.]

[On this Sunday afternoon, a tower will suddenly appear in the backyard of 458 Stone Street. Even if you don't notice or care about the tower, a sound will be heard from it a few minutes later, a song that might have a slight calming effect. It reaches for many, many blocks, the voice amplified by the tower's structure. It is up to you if you can hear it, though, as you could just be way too far away to hear it clearly or properly.]
♫ BGM: RE=NATION (Lyrics)
Negawakuba, kono uta wo, yobikikase, tamae,
(Please, listen and receive this song,)
yuruku fuku, akatsuki no, kaze to narite;
(that becomes the lazy wind of the dawn;)
Madoromu inochi, kooreru, yume ni,
(Please, release the drifting and lost people,)
tadayohite mayoeru hito tokihanachi tamae...
(whose sleeping lives are still in frozen dreams....)
[There is silence for many seconds, as if whoever is singing it is hesitant to continue. The tower's features then glow alight, its operation beginning and the voice returning just as serenely and vibrant.]
Amatsutahi kuru tori wa, futata ni, tada mukafu.
(The birds that are flying together with the sky go towards the sunlight.)
Shiro ni azayagu tsubasa, saki ni, kibou no asu, tsutaete.
(The white and shining wings are announcing a hopeful tomorrow to the future.)
Was yea ra waath near en hymme RE=NATION mea.
Was yea ra waath near, en hymme RE=NATION mea.
(I'm very happy to sing my song of rebirth for a life.)
[The singing continues like this for a few minutes longer. If you're near enough or have decided to come check it out, the tower will look much like this, but not nearly so big and the greenery at the base is missing. The top half is denser than shown here, with it resembling more like a castle tower, as well as an observatory at the top floor where Aurica will be. The height looks to be about 10-20 floors tall, roughly. A long antenna at the top of the observatory marks the structure much taller, however.
In the greenery's place on the bottom, A large door with carved markings much like a Sumerian script or structure looked can be found, but no useful way to access it will be apparent at first. The only ways to interact at this point would be to either:
A.) Try to get her attention at the top of the tower, or
B.) Wait for her to come back down after the song finishes. We can handwave the interim if you prefer!
C.) Alternatively, you can try your hand at the door anyway, or just observe the tower if you're inclined to technology you haven't seen before.]

If I'm remembering right, you're from somewhere that's... kind of like mine. In that it's not very much like where most of the people here are from. Would you say that's the case?
[She took in all that there was to see with eager curiosity, head turning this way and that. She's a bit distracted.]
no subject
[Once they were inside, the doors close behind them, and white lights re-illuminate the blue room. Some of the same etched markings from the door could be seen most everywhere, but most of it was just intersecting and intertwining lines, seemingly random in direction. The rest of the metal making up the walls looked uniform and set in vertical lines. The view up was blocked by a ceiling above, giving the impression of floors.]
Yeah, I'd say so. Mayfield is the sort of thing I'd read about in a book in Ar Ciel, most of the world is gone. The tower is really supposed to be much bigger, but this is all we had.
[It shows in how Aurica herself looks around as well. When she climbed up this replica earlier on, there wasn't much light to work with compared to now.]
That and some floating land we usually lived on. The Wing of Horus is missing.. [She begins to walk up the stairs leading to the second floor.]
no subject
Sometimes when they send big things, they send them... smaller. I think there's someone in town with a blimp that's supposed to be much, much larger...
...I'm sorry to hear that the world is gone. The tower's what's left? And people live there? ...Mm? The Wing of Horus?
no subject
Uun, the Tower was able to hold a lot of land in the air with something called a Plasma Bell, and many people lived there. There used to be two Wings, but one fell a long time ago... so only half of the land remained afloat. [She doesn't want to go into the implications of that, so she leaves the rest of that story alone for now.] That's why there's only one Wing now.
But it's not here either. I guess the Tower didn't bring everything back? [She begins to climb up the second set of stairs on the other side towards the third floor as she says this.]
no subject
Sometimes things come back incomplete, too. This might be an awful lot for Mayfield to be emulating. They've been saying they've been having power problems. [Up the next set of stairs Dakki goes, following closely behind her.]
no subject
I think the Wing would be about, this height? I'm not sure. There was a floating little town below the Wing, called Firefly Alley. The Wings were made long ago, but people figured out how to make the town fly on its own, using the technology of the old civilization with our new methods of Grathmelding. They sure were smart... but I'd prefer something like a natural little town on the Wing; it's where I lived most of my life.
no subject
[She continues right on after Aurica, following her lead.]
...you lived in a little town? What was it called? What was it like?
no subject
Skuwat. Skuwat Village. It wasn't much, just a place settled away from everything. We used bows and hunted for food, nothing fancy like in a city. We even had our own special outdoor wear, and I used it as a Costume with my Song Magic at one point. [She tilts her head down, as if to look at her blue clothes.] ...Green like the forest it was in.
[She wasn't looking at them specifically. It's simply where she looked, away from Dakki, to try hiding the feelings she was beginning to have — those she felt every time she started to think of her past.]
It all burned down years ago, while I was there. I...
[She closed her eyes.] I lost a lot of things then.
[Her face began to tighten, but it softened after that brief pain and joined a quick sigh, opening her eyes again and looking over to Dakki with that melancholic smile she tends to wear.] It's alright now though, I've gotten over it, mostly. Sometimes I beat myself up over it too much, like I could have done something about it.
