[Cloche woke up this morning, trying to figure out what was going on. She was ok with apparently being stuck in her room for the day. She's been to the library anyway, and she's got some books stockpiled.

It's now night and she's completely lost her mind. To her, she has no door out of this "tower", and she's trapped. Or she thinks. Cloche has opened the window to her room, is looking around frantically every so often yelling for help, and she can be seen pacing around, looking very much freaked out. Yes, Rapunzel is stuck and her hair ain't long enough to climb up.]

[Claude may not be affected by the experiment, but there's no way he could live knowing there was a pretty girl in trouble! At least, judging by how frantic she seems, she must be in trouble. So he stops when he sees her and heads over to her window.]

Hey, what's wrong?

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

[...oh god Claude, Cloche's going to seem insane when you find out.]

H-huh? How did you get up here? How are you floating?!

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

[It's okay, Claude's a good sport. ;_; Of course, everything she said just now is really weird, so he just kind of looks at her for a moment.]

Uh... Floating? I'm not floating... I don't think I'm floating.

[It'll make sense at the end when she's busy bashing her head into the wall cursing the Malnosso and only one of those predictions is true, it's a promise, Claude.]

You would have to be if you're up here at the window and not on the ground!

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

[He laughs a little nervously. He has no idea what she's talking about.]

I'm... pretty sure I'm not floating. Can you tell me what's wrong, miss?

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

[Now she's going to just stare at him. This is the Devil's Magic, it has to be. Cloche's going to leaaaaaan out her window. To her? TOTALLY FLOATING.]

No, you most definitely are. You have to be using magic to be doing so. How else would you be able to be this high up next to the tower window?

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

I don't know the first thing about magic, so I still don't think I'm using it. [But this mention of a "tower window" probably explains the problem here.] Does that mean you're stuck in this, um... tower?

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

[:O! He understands! Maybe he's just saying that so he won't be found out by someone evil.] Y-yes!

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

I don't think I could just leave a girl locked up in a tower like this. [He offers her a hand. He's not sure what she'll think once she's actually outside, but... oh well!] I'll help you down, then!

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

[SUCCESS. AND FREEDOM. \o/ but first:] You aren't going to kidnap me, right?

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

I wasn't planning to. [Hopefully, she's not expecting proof or something...!] Has, uh... someone already tried?

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

...yes. I have to be wary, but you don't look quite like the type who would. [More of the hero-type, and not the villainous kidnapper type. So, she'll take his hand a little less warily.] Thank you.

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good to hear. I was starting to worry a little bit! [It wouldn't be any good if he was coming off as the villainous kidnapper type. With that, he'll help her out of the window, though he'll stay close in case she fears of "falling".] Be careful!

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

[Claude you are so nice. mun notes to self to go back and pop in SO2 again in between Persona 2 because Claude ♥ Cloche's going to climb carefully out of the window, taking a glance and the ground that looks like it's pretty far down.] R-right.

[For her though, she's just watching the ground now, making sure she's got a tight grip on the guy who just got her out of there so she won't fall. But it's getting closer, so... that's a good sign?]

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

[EEEE DO IT Claude is the best ;; Claude's not too sure how to handle this once the girl is actually out of her room, but that's okay, he'll improvise. He'll step away from the window, hoping that she realizes they're on near the ground.]

Everything alright?

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

I think so. Um, thank you.

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

No problem! I'm glad I could help. [And he smiles at her! But there's another question on his mind.] So, um... What are you going to do now?

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

[Wait for her to kind of spin around slowly to look around.] Maybe... maybe look around? [Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.]

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. How long have you been trapped up there, anyway?

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

...I don't remember.

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess the important thing is that you're out of there now, right?

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

Yes. Thank you very much, um...

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

Oh! My name's Claude. Claude C. Kenny. It's nice to meet you!

[pepepepen.livejournal.com]

Claude. It's nice to meet you. I'm Cloche. So, thank you very much, Claude. You've been a big help.

[mirrorblade.livejournal.com]

It was no problem. Really! [A little silly, maybe, but certainly no problem.] I'm just glad I could help. Are you going to be okay from here?
