For towerofanimus

'The end of the world, the apocalypse, Armaggedon, Ragnorok, Gotterdamerung, whatever you want to call it. For most people the thought of these turns of phrase conjure to life the image of fire and brimstone, meteors crashing down, epic battles to the death, and the hope that things will have a reset button once all is said and done. Desolate wastelands sparsely populated with the last dregs of humanity are what others expect to see when the world finally begins to close up shop. Further people think of the heat death of the universe, stars winking out one by one as cold sets in and everything, even on the subatomic level, becomes still in an eternal stretch from which no life has a chance to spark ever again.
For me? I've lived under the constant knowledge that if the world ends anytime soon, it would most likely be because a stubborn high school boy didn't get his way.
Imagine my surprise upon waking up in a weird bed unable to move only to find a note about people hoping to be happy here. Is this Haruki's doing, too? Or something else? And just why, if the world has ended, am I the only one saved?'
[And with these thoughts in mind, Kyonko wanders the levels of the tower, cautious, hand constantly running along the collar tight against her neck, hoping against hope to see something or someone familiar in this place.]

'Physics decided to screw itself over, didn't it?'
That's all Kyonko could really say as she outright gawked at the orca that swam in the tunnel of water she was walking through. Seriously, how did all the water stay up and in when there was no glass?! Kyonko could reach out and touch the water if she wanted, feel the clownfish nip at her fingers and grab onto some of the coral and pull it out if she wanted to. What was up with this place?

Is anyone else feeling queasy lately?
[Someone hasn't been eating her oatmeal in the mornings. Queasy is an understatement to how she feels.]

Human :v since he's human in Animus.
... It's probably something you can't see keeping it in place.
[ The water, he means. Clinging to rationale, here. Magnetism? Invisible glass? SOMETHING??? ]
I know, but this thread isn't canon so it could go either way for lulz.
What could possibly be keeping it all in place?
'Another possibility being we're at the bottom of the ocean going through a paved tunnel somehow, but that wouldn't work in a tower that's above sea level. Not unless physics is well and truly dead now.'
... that is true.
It could be magnetism.
[ It's a tentative answer. For all he's read, he's not entirely sure one could magnetize water well enough to do that and he's not seeing any giant magnets but hey, you never know.
The alternative explanation is ridiculous. ]
