"Now, imagined if you ripped out five random pages from different spots in the book and stapled them together into a new 'book'. It would be an incoherent piece of FILTH and FUCKING GARBAGE!"
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] I see what she's going on about. Anomalies are inherently narrow minded and very limited in their beliefs.
[UNSTABLE] Perhaps they only care about expressing their pent up rage and stress.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] Perhaps they only care about knowledge and making sure it stays recorded.
[PERSON OF INTEREST] Perhaps they only care about staying safe.
[CAPTAIN'S COMMAND] Perhaps they only care about power.
"I assume PARADIGMs as the same to you?"
"Even worse! It's like ripping half a page out of one of those books and expecting anything of value out of it! It's tainted!" Wendy spits onto the ground. "They have their purpose if only because they are TOOLS."
[CAPTAIN'S COMMAND] Hm. Tools, huh? Enjoy your new trinkets, by the by, Nicole.
Hm. Perhaps she really does only trust using YOUR powers since YOU'RE still a human with human thoughts.
Before you have time to ask anything more about the Lack or her own thoughts about how everything's going, the two of you are standing right outside of the clock tower. And by the Father Above, it's even more imposing up close and personal than something far far out in the horizon.
It casts a large and looming shadow for what must be miles. Not enough to actually make it hard to see your surroundings but definitely enough to instill an odd sense of dread. The clocktower itself has a pretty large staircase at its base.
The actual entrance is at the top of the stairs and fuck, those stairs are tall. At least five stories tall in their own right. This is going to SUCK going up and down. The only other thing about the tower that catches your attention (since it's otherwise a tall red brick clocktower with nothing to note) is that ticking.
TICK.
TICK.
You couldn't hear it until you got right up to it but you definitely hear this incessant ticking in your ears. Every few seconds, it starts up again.
TICK.
TICK.
[HUNTER OF THE CITY] "Something about this tower feels weird. I can't quite put my finger on it. Something is INSIDE THERE."
[SEEKER + HUNTER OF THE CITY] "An echo." "Of something long forgotten." The two of you whisper at the same time.
What that actually means, the two of you don't fucking know! You go off gut reactions from voices deep in your subconsciousness. All you two know is this thing is ominous and you want to know what's inside pronto. Which means climbing up 6 flights worth of stars.
The two of you begin the long and obnoxious process of climbing up these stairs. You pity any maintenance worker who had to travel up these damn things every time they needed to fix something. You two eventually zone out until you're at the locked cold iron door blocking your way inside- ahaha no.
You two rip it clean off with the combined effort of your telekinesis powers. You got places to be!
