[On the Skyway / This part ONLY locked to Nanaki ]

He was dreaming.  That had to be it.  There was NO way that all these floating islands could be a thing that actually existed, right?

At least that's what Nagisa told himself... even as he walked past what looked like statues of the other students of Class E.  He tried not to look at those.  They made him feel uneasy.  

His training in free running helped him out maneuver the islands as he made his way towards what looked like some sort of city.. because there wasn't much else to head towards.  Along his way he happened to noticed a girl.  Suspicious he tried to keep himself hidden for a bit and watched her.  He wasn't armed and he didn't want to get himself tangled up with someone dangerous.  But after a minute or two observing her he decided he'd probably be safe enough.  She looked normal enough.  No weird tentacles or suspicious hood obscuring her features.

But he still approached quietly and cautiously.

"Hello?" he finally spoke, wondering if she heard him come up behind her, "Do you live around here?"



[Tower Apartments]

When in an unknown and potentially hostile place the first thing one should do was get an idea of one's surroundings.  This was an assassin survival lesson direct fro Karasuma-sensei.  And the best way to do that was to climb to the highest available part of the terrain and make an initial sweep of the area.  Identify ambush points and where snipers could be positions and such.  And the tallest building around was what looked like a big apartment complex.

So that's where he was going to climb.  Literally.  He figured he'd probably look a little too suspicious if he walked in and took the stairs, and it'd just be quicker to scale the building anyways.  He checked around to make sure no one was there and just... went for it.  During assassin training he'd been forced to climb far more difficult things then a building, so it wasn't too hard.  Using window sills and frames and balconies as well as near invisible hairline cracks in the wall he climbed.  Of course it wasn't until he was between the second and third floor that it occurred to him that even though he was climbing the side and not the front and there wasn't anyone around when he started... didn't mean that there wouldn't ever be anyone just... passing by.

[At a Donut Tree]

Once Nagisa finally managed to actually get his view from the top of the Tower Apartments he caught sight of something... odd.  Something even stranger then the floating islands.  A tree with VERY weird fruit.  His first thought was that they looked like... but no.  No that COULDN'T be.  He needed a closer look.  However once he got closer he realized that his initial suspicion seemed to be, in fact, correct.  This was a fruit tree.  'Fruit' being a loose definition at best.

He reached up and picked a donut.  It had pink icing.  He took a bite and just looked so incredibly confused.  That befuddlement just seemed to increase by the second as he just stood there by the tree nibbling his donut.  It hadn't even been placed there! He picked it.  Like it was an apple.  Like it had GROWN there.  Did the donuts start out as donut holes? Were the seeds of donut trees sprinkles?

Of all the weird things he'd encountered so far in this place THIS was the one that just broke him.

[ At the Monument ]

Eventually Nagisa collected himself after his... donut tree encounter.  There was another place he wanted to check out.  That odd monument in the middle of Bastion looked... odd, IMPORTANT somehow.  So he headed there next. 

He had his notebook out and flipped to a blank page and drew a rough diagram of it, and jotted a couple notes down.  After a few minutes he noticed someone walking by and flagged them over.

"Excuse me! I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about this thing?

Skyway

[findsrisks]

Nanaki was saving up her shards, because she had plans. Big plans. Plans that involved becoming slightly more useful for fights out on the Skyway.

See, she remembered her time in Vatheon. She also remembered a certain curse, which had given her really cool powers. Powers that made her punches hurt even more than they did now. So instead of splurging on little things here and there, Nanaki was saving up to get an ability similar to the one she had before, for that one week.

But that meant going out on the Skyway, which meant avoiding monsters and scouting for shards where she could. She was also looking for other things too, like supplies and such, but the shards were the main thing.

Oh, and people. Just like the one she happened to stumble across.

"Ah-" At first, she stumbled over her words, because she wasn't expecting to find someone new. "Y-yes! Not too far from here, actually. You're new, aren't you?"

Tower

It also didn't mean that there was no one at his destination. Although some might debate whether this counted as anyone, for in fact there was a Nobody hanging around on the roof. Just as the young assassin had identified the building as a good place from which to take stock of his surroundings, the Samurai Nobody found it a useful vantage point for keeping watch. Not that there is much danger within the Bastion itself, but old habits die hard. Especially when you don't understand hobbies.

It seems to 'look' at Nagisa as he clears the top (does it even have eyes?), and though its stance doesn't seem particularly aggressive, it very obviously has two good swords it could use on him.
