"Here. It's a receipt I got from a donut shop. Do I need to prove I bought a donut?! DO I NEED TO PROVE I BOUGHT A FREAKING DONUT?!!"

a character in “What Draws You In”, as played by SkyCladSaya06

Description

Image
"This is a pen. It's probably the most important thing in your life. No pen means no test. No test means no graduation. No graduation means no job. No job means no money. No money means you starve. And if you starve, then you die. So take care of your pen."



Image

Name: Ayase Kaminaga
"Call me Aya if you want."

Age: 24
"I'm really only 16. At heart."

Gender: Female
"Do I really need to prove it? What do you want, a receipt or something? Perhaps my DNA map would convince you."

Type: Researcher (Journalist)
"I also buy donuts, if you're selling them."

Theme Song: Hacking to the Gate - Kanako Ito

Personality:Ayase is almost unpredictable: She seems slightly outgoing, cheerful and even sarcastic around others but in an instant, she may look deep and reserved, almost emo. She might seem friendly and chatty while in the presence of others but later on, you’ll notice that she is into something deep and out-of this world.

As a journalist, she is very resourceful and persevering; going to such extremes just to get a nice story on paper. She isn’t very sassy as she doesn’t mind getting dirty every time she has to take a photo of something. She can be a little careless though, always jumping in first without any planning. Her adaptive trait allows her to manage but she has often found herself in several, sticky situations already.

Appearance:Ayase is a young brunette with her hair tucked in a ponytail. She is slender and has C-cups. She is around 5'8' in height and weighs around 99lbs.

History:Ayase always had an eye for catching controversial and weird stuff happening around the place. Sometimes, people would start gossiping near her and she would immediately start engaging in a conversation with them, surprising them that she has already uncovered several facts about it so far. Due to this, her parents suggested that she take up journalism, to which she agreed.

She managed to finish it and got employed as a writer for a newspaper in the city. When October rolled in, they were tasked to find a nice scoop that they could include as part of their Halloween feature. She asked around until her mother suggested that she can investigate the truth behind the Fujioka Galar. The promise of adventure definitely appealed to her, so she chose to the site herself to see things with her own eyes.





Other Information:
"Curious cat eh? Well, maybe you can become a journalist too. Someday."
  • She always takes her photos herself, so she always has a DSLR camera with her.
  • Every time she goes on field work, she never leaves without a bunch of her stuff: Laptop, spare batteries and charger, some books, a pen and paper, her cellphone, Mp3 player and a Swiss Army Knife.
  • She is a light eater, able to go through an entire day eating only two sandwiches. "And a donut."
  • She has a habit of putting things in her mouth (ballpen, pencils) and pacing around if she's deep in thought.
  • She has studied karate for five years but never actually got around to finishing it. She is currently stuck as a Green Belt.



Roleplay Sample:"Pretty remote place, this hotel is." Ayase muttered as she stood face to face with the abandoned Fujioka Galar. She surveyed the entire hotel from a worm's eye view, taking note of the windows and balconies, just in case. "Hmph. It's a pretty fine establishment. The view from the rooftop is supposedly very good." She criticized the building some more before heading inside.

Inside, she walked through piles of dust, taking pictures of all the other things that remained intact. Then she caught sight of the elevator. She opened it with her hands to reveal the carcass of a man inside. "The scary thing about this is..." She flipped the carcass over with her foot and saw a goliath beetle crawl out. "Ugghh..." She quickly jerked her foot off, getting as far away from the elevator as she can.

So begins...

It's a lively night at the big city. It is a place where young people meet; in fact, it's almost like it's a hotspot for young blood as compared to any other city in this place. Couples going on around in pairs holding hands, minors faking their identities to enter in clubs, some wannabe-cool kids hanging around in dark alleys, doing--well, you know what. Amidst the bustling city night life, there was a particular section of this city that is currently brimming with energy.

Hanamiya Programs - 4th Floor...

"Where is the scoop for tomorrow's headline?" An angry editor shouted from across the room. "Sir! Here sir!" A rather timid looking worker ran towards him only to trip, sending papers all over the place. The furious typing on keyboards echoed throughout the room along with shouts, rants and complains coming from left and right.

Meanwhile, in her little cubicle, Ayase sat calmly, paying no heed to the chaos outside as she munched on a doughnut that she bought from the store outside. A proofreader on break approached her and struck up a conversation.

"You seem to be taking it easy Aya-san. Don't you feel any pressure at all?" He asked, concerned.

"Not really. I already have a topic approved by the Boss. It's about the Fujioka Galar and why it was shut down. My mom suggested that topic so I thought, why not?" Ayase paused to take a sip from her canned coffee. "In fact--" Ayase grabs her handbag from her desk. "I'm off. I'm heading to the site myself so I can see things first hand."

Outside, Ayase was about to hail a cab when she accidentally bumped a weird looking lady. Her noble looking outfit coupled with her black hair and ruby eyes made her look like a princess in Ayase's eyes. She noticed that she spilled some oranges that the lady was carrying so she helped her pick them up.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking." She muttered a quick apology, avoiding eye contact with her. "Gee, I hope she doesn't chop off my head or something."

"Your days ahead are quite interesting." The lady said with an eerie smile as she stood up from the pavement, dusting her clothes off.

"Excuse me?" Ayase asked, puzzled by the lady's words.

"You'll meet a lot of new faces to that place where you're going. That darkened place; what secrets does it contain? Why did it come to be? And for what purpose did it disappear? Sadly, you are not yet in position to answer my questions. Good luck to you, and happy hunting." The lady turned away after collecting her bag, disappearing into the throng of people at the street.

"That was weird. Was she referring to my field work?" She wondered as she boarded the cab, giving instructions to the driver to take her home. She was leaving for the site the next day and she still has to pack.

Fujioka Galar site - After a three hour commute consisting of a bus, boat, cab and around twenty minutes of walking...

Ayase now stood in front of the massive building that seems as if it was hiding a tale within its walls. She walked closer, bringing her backpack as she positioned her camera to take a picture. "Well, welcome to Hotel Nopes, located in Nope island, off the coast of Nope City." She muttered as she seemed reluctant to enter now that she has seen it firsthand. She glanced around at the surrounding terrain. There was only that long stretch of road that she arrived in that reminded her that this was still within a civilized island. Otherwise, there are only the rocks and trees around the hotel along with the dark ocean. Well, at least some ships are still visible from the bay so if anything happens, she can maybe give them a quick wave?

"Pretty remote place, this hotel is." Ayase muttered as she stood face to face with the abandoned Fujioka Galar. She surveyed the entire hotel from a worm's eye view, taking note of the windows and balconies, just in case. "Hmph. It's a pretty fine establishment. The view from the rooftop is supposedly very good." She criticized the building some more before heading inside, swallowing some spit as she pried the doors open, creating a scraping sound reminiscent of old horror movies. She took a few shots of the main lobby, the reception and the grand staircase. There was also the doors leading to other rooms but first, she must familiarize herself with the place some more.

"All right, so where is the floor plan?" She looked around the huge room, hoping to find some sign or something that could help her navigate the place.

Misano stretched as she walked over to the Fujioka Galar. Curious about the rumors floating around, Misano decided to check it out. The Galar was huge, she had to admit. There must have been at least four different floors there.
'Maybe I can skydive off of here if I have the right parachute.'
Shrugging, Misano came over to the door. A smile was on her face as she saw that people were already inside the Galar. Opening the door she saw that people were already crowded in the Main Lobby signing in their name.
'I guess I better sign mine in too~'
In the Main Lobby, Misano looked around. The Galar seemed to be huge and filled with all kinds of adventures. A smile was prevelant on her face and she felt a rush go through her when thinking of all the fun times she was going to share with future residents of this Galar. Signing her name in the lobby sign in sheet, she was greeted by many unfamiliar faces. Some seemed bored, some were questioning themselves while some were downright frightened. Misano would have laughed if she had a voice. They had no reason to be afraid, the hotel wasn't gonna eat them or something. Misano eventually found her attention directed to a particularly bored looking individual.
'Her eyes...'
They were the same eyes that her brother had. She felt a bulge build up in her throat and she swallowed it. Smiling a bit, she threw a paper airplane at her with a note written inside. She silently cringed as it hit her head but felt happy when she opened it up.
Yo~ Try not to look so bored, would ya? This is a fun place. Hell, if you need something to keep you entertained, why not focus on me? I'll be your entertainment. Hope to see you soon~
-M

Misano smirked a bit as she saw the girl look around a bit, trying to find her but to no avail.
'This is gonna be fun~'
Walking around the Galar, she kept her eyes peeled for anyone who would need a friend to chat with.

Cold. The first thing she felt was coldness all over her. Ryuko started to open her eyes. "Where the hell am I?" She asked herself mentally. As she began to sit up, but then regretted it as her hand slipped on something-- "OW!" She yelled out in pain, looking up at her hand. It had a cut on it and worse, it was bleeding. She looked over to where her hand was before and saw a glass shard. "Why the hell are there glass shards here?" Then, carefully, she started to get up again, groaning. "Why the hell am I here?" She looked around. Looked like a bar. In fact, it looked like a bar that hasn't been touched in years, and it looks like a storm passed through it. Though some of the wine bottles remained untouched....

Ryuko blinked as she realized something. While she was thinking of how she got there, strangely enough, she couldn't remember anything. Just her name, age, gender....but nothing else. She frowned. "Do I have amnesia or something?" She sighed. "Maybe a walk would clear my mind or something..."

After a few minutes of walking around- and getting lost- she reached the main lobby, seeing a girl with waist-long black hair, tied into twintails, and a brunette, who she guessed must have been a journalist. Sighing, she just placed a hand on her forehead, muttering something. "Why can't I remember anything..?"

Ayase had been so engrossed in taking pictures of the abandoned hotel that she didn't notice that other people had started to arrive as well. There was a couple who might be doing this a dare or something. The girl was hit by a paper plane on the head, chuckling a bit after reading it. She looked around and saw that another teenage looking girl had thrown the plane to them. She seemed nice enough so Ayase wondered why she couldn't just tell them directly.

"It seems other people like to explore around. Heck they're still even signing in their name even though this hotel is no longer operational and abandoned. Heh." Ayase chuckled as she muttered this thought. She walked towards the main desk and flipped open some drawers, illuminating the place with her flashlight. She found a bunch of papers and files but they were mostly old record logs of people coming and going. "No good eh?"

The Staff Area seemed amusing though, so Ayase headed there next. There was debris scattered everywhere, with collapsed pillars blocking some rooms. She tried lifting them but she could barely move them away, even with all her strength, so she looked around for someone to assist her, making a mental note to herself about the people in the room.

There was a scientist who was also looking for a floor plan but given his profession, there must be some matters that he needs to attend to. She couldn't bring herself to ask the couple since, well--the guy didn't really look like he wanted to be there. Her best bet was probably the shy-looking girl who threw the plane earlier but as she was about to ask her for help, her eyes managed to catch a figure looking out from the bar. She seemed confused about the place, making Ayase wonder why she was there. "It's none of my business but-- she does look slightly athletic..." She thought. "Hey! Can you guys help me move this?" She called out to the two, pointing at the pillar blocking the way. "It's blocking the road and there might be files inside that could still be salvaged." She reasoned out, hoping that she would get a favorable response.

Misano raised an eyebrow when she heard someone calling out to her. She came out from the Main Lobby and into the Staff Area, handing the red head a note.
You're talking to me, right? Either way I'll help you out. My name's Misano Amane. Sorry for the notes, I'm mute. Anyway, point me to where you want me to push it, yeah?
Misano looked at the girl, a bit excited on what kind of files were going to be dug up.

Ryuko stared at the girl that called her over. Pointing at herself, she realized that it was indeed her and walked over. "Hey! Can you guys help me move this?" Ryuko looked at what the girl was pointing at. "A pillar..." She studied it. "At most I might be able to roll it away, but..." She scratched the back of her head. "I don't think rolling it would help, though." She looked at the two. "Files, huh? Journalist or something?" She asked.

"We don't have to roll it that far, just enough to create an opening that we can pass through so, let's do it!" Ayase bent down in a comfortable position to roll the pillar away. With the help of the two, they managed to roll it enough to enable the door to open to a space where they could fit in.

The room inside was a bit messy and dusty, with skeletons littering the ground everywhere, all crushed by debris. Ayase looked up at the ceiling, covering her nose with a handkerchief, while she looked at the ceiling in case something falls from above, as she led the two inside. Fortunately, nothing looked like it was about to fall so she checked every corner of the place with the two girls. She wasn't able to come up with any useful files though. All of it was just old employee cards and such. One of the skeletons had a set of keys for rooms on the second floor so she took them. "Let's go." She motioned for the two girls to leave when something on the wall caught her eye. It was a floor plan.

"Oi!" She called the scientist in the lobby. "The floor plan is in that room, if you're looking for it." She pointed back at the room earlier. She turned to the two who helped her and asked. "Well, guess I'm headed for the second floor. What about you guys?"

Misano shrugged.
I'll go with you. Heh, you seem like an interesting person and I like interesting things~
Misano walked over to Ayase, a small grin on her face. She then turned to the other girl.
What about you, Ms. Stoic? What do you plan on doing?
Misano always did like to tease girls who seemed angsty. They just needed to smile every once in a while and they'd be much cuter.

Ryuko scratched the back of her head, looking at the two others. "Well, I'm not exactly sure how I got here, and I might just find out if I tag along, so, yeah, sure." Then she turned to the twin-tailed girl. "Oh, and by the way, I'm not Ms. Stoic. The name's Amagase Ryuko. But really, just call me Actor." She then turned to walk, just following the brunette.

Then, after a few minutes of walking, she felt someone following, and....

She turned around, spotting the "couple" from the main lobby. She eyed them with a narrowed red eye.

"You guys following us or something?"

The second floor was just as abandoned and dusty as the first floor. It was rather dim on the hallways, the only light source coming from the open rooms with the light outside, seeping through the windows. Ayase walked on with the two who tagged along with her, checking which rooms seemed useable. Most of the already open rooms have broken shards of glass all over the beds and floors. A few contained insects running around skeletons. It was rather tiring, looking through almost twenty plus rooms all around the place.

After much searching, Ayase managed to find a fairly maintained room with no insects or broken glasses of any kind. She set up her laptop on the bed and moved some files on her camera. After making some space for more pictures, Ayase packed up again and headed for the door.

"Oi! I'm gonna go take some pictures around the floor. Will you stay here in this room? Or do you want to accompany me? I'll leave the key to you if you're staying." She asked the two.

Rachel Jones was running the corridors trying to catch people she noticed as they were leaving the hotel lobby. Her heavy combat boots gave a noisy sound with her every step. "Aye! wait for me" She started shoutng again as she finally spotted a brunette with a ponytail talking with another girl... no, not just a girl - a girl with a boy. When they turned their heads towards her she smiled and said friendly "H... hi, I'm Rachel, can I join you? I guess it's gonna be less spooky together..."

Rachel smiled to the girl who answered and looked around the floor, checkong the other room. She could not do it before because she was more concerned about finding anyone there. The dim light, broken glass, skeletons... she shrugged and thought it turned a bit colder... It WAS a spooky place. "I... I think we should stick together here." she looked at the others. Not wanting to be presumed chicken, she cleared her throat, hooked her thumbs on her belt and added "I mean we need to check each other to avoid some foot slipping... or other damages. It's quite dark in here..."

"You have a point." Ayase thought it best that they all stick together, as suggested by Rachel who had decided to tag along with the couple in tow. She took some shots of the broken glass on some of the rooms as they walked around. The place was indeed dim but, so Ayase was able to manage well. She navigated across some of the rooms, being careful not to step on broken glass.

They reached one of the locked rooms and Ayase thought it would be nice to check it out. She gave the door a strong kick but it didn't budge. She resorted to the room keys and found one that matched: Room 213. She opened the door and a strong scent of desolation wafted through the corridors.

This room didn't have any windows and the balcony was closed so Ayase had to use the flashlight. She shone the small illumination on the bed and saw a couple of skeletons buried under the debris. Something was lodged onto their heads which was probably the cause of their death. She noticed that some of the dressers are in a disarray while there was a doodle on floor, probably made from one of the bodies' nails.

She turned to the group and asked. "Well, it seems like this place probably shut down because of an earthquake. What do you guys think? Ryuko-chan, you look like you have a few observations." She pointed to the stoic, headphone-wearing girl, asking for an opinion. While waiting, she also asked the others with her. "Aside from this, what else could have made those beams fall?"

Ryuko's eye twitched when the couple completely ignored her. She gritted her teeth and continued following the girl up until the second floor. Then Ayase turned around and asked them if they were going to stay. Ryuko shook her head. "I'd much rather explore the place than stay in this room, thanks." She shrugged and shoved her hands into her pockets. The girl from the couple earlier was with them but her boyfriend stayed - "Coward." Ryuko thought-, and another girl came to join them as well. By this time, Ryuko was getting uneasy with the number of people. She frowned, eying the others warily.

Just then Ayase pointed to her.
"Well, it seems like this place probably shut down because of an earthquake. What do you guys think? Ryuko-chan, you look like you have a few observations." Ryuko thought for a few moments and then came to something. "Hm....Well, I disagree. If there was an earthquake, then the exterior would be damaged. Plus, since this place is close to the ocean, there should have been a tsunami. And I don't see any traces of this place flooding." She said, her eyes looking down in thought. "Wow, I managed that even without my memories."

"Ryuko is right" Rachel looked at the girl in headphones "Hi, I'm Rachel. Sorry to ignore you for a while, but this place is so overwhelming..." She smiled to both girls she hadn't introduce herself and said "I think it was something different, some sort of a plague outbreak or something..." She pointed at the bodies. "Look at heir heads!" Rachel glanced down, at the traces of nails on the floor, staring there like she was hypnotized. "Not sure about those fallen beams, but I believe they were fighting here, fighting for their lives! What a madness... " Teen added as she stepped back wiping nervously her palms on her jeans. She was really scared now, but being within a group of people made her feel safer. She managed to take a deep breath and calmed herself down looking at the others.

Misano looked over at Rachel and noticed her panicking. She put a comforting hand on her shoulder to make her relax.
Hey, calm down. These guys aren't zombies so they won't be able to come back and get you~ In any case, this place is dusty and ruined as all hell. I'll have to agree with Ryu-chan over there. Tsunamis do seem much more likely than any other answer. Still, what better way to find out answers than to investigate? We may as well go through any records we can find. Let's see...
Misano then looked around the cabinets, searching for anything that could be related to a disaster article.

Rachel read a note handed her over by Misano and smiled back to her, while touching (and even squeezing a bit) her hand resting on her shoulder. She was grateful to that ponytailed girl that helped her regaining her strength. "Thanks, I guess I knew that..." She watched Misano as she started searching the cabinets. "I think we... I mean somebody... It would be good to check out if the bodies have some traces of fight. And what those things on their heads are anyway. Ayase, could you give more ligt to that?" She asked the girl who seemed to be turning into some sort of "leader" of their "team". She regained most of her previous composure and made a few steps towards the center of the room.

Ayase leaned in closer to the skeletons lying on the ground. They would have certainly died on the spot due to the beams that fell on them. Or it could be the things on their head. As she moved closer, the objects lodge in the cranium was a shard of concrete that fell from the ceiling. She stood up and addressed the group.

"Well, earthquakes and tsunamis aren't gonna cut it like you guys said. But I don't think they lost their lives while fighting with each other. Their hands seemed like they were reaching out to something when the ceiling caved in on them. The concrete slabs lodged on their heads probably fell after these two have died. So conflict between these two is out of the question. Most probably, they were trying to escape during the course of the terrible thing that happened when the ceiling caved in on them. But the question is what." Ayase offered her explanation. Upon seeing that there is nothing else to be found in this room, she instructed them to leave.

As they were exiting the room, she remembered the large pool within the hotel. Quickly, she informed the group. "Hey! Want to take a look around the pool? It's pretty big so I think we should split up to cover more ground. We'll meet up back at the bar after fifteen minutes. Misano-chan, you go with Elizabeth to check the main pool. Ryuko -chan and Rachel can check the girl's side shower. As for me--" Ayase took some spare flashlights from her bag and handed one to each pair. "I'll check the men's side sauna."

She led them downstairs where they began their investigation. Arriving at the sauna, Ayase was startled to see a man's carcass inside. It didn't seem like it decomposed naturally. It was more like this one was eaten by something. The guy's uniform was lying neatly on the chairs though so she took a closer look at that. Managing to find his ID card, she learned that this poor fella was some sort of researcher who was staying in a hotel that time. She wasn't able to find his room key so she turned to leave. Curiosity got the better of her and she turned back to see what was inside the actual sauna. Upon opening, she saw a lot of cockroaches as big as an open hand, crawling all over the walls. She immediately shut the door, bumping the dead guy's carcass, sending a couple of roaches running out from his ribcage. Ayase immediately stepped on the two bugs and left, taking only the ID of the dead guy with her as she headed to the bar.

Rachel outrunned Ryuko and grabbed the flashlight Ayase was handing them out. When they reached the girl's shower doors, Rachel was trying to open them, without results. it seemed that they were blocked from the inside. She handed the flashlight over to Ryuko and smiled.

"Hold it, please, I think I can handle it" she said, walked towards the doors resolutely and kicked, using her heavy combat boot. That gave effect above her expectations. The lightly constructed doors broke into two uneven parts right there where she had kicked. "Best tool I've ever had" she said with a grin.

There was no time to say anything else. Rachel jumped back as the remains of the doors (and something that blocked it) fell off the hinges to the floor. She shrugged as she realized it was another skeleton, a corpse of a woman in some sort of hotel uniform, resembling a standard maid's outfit. 'It's not the first body I've seen here' She thought to herself, as curiosity prevailed over her fear. "I guess I begin to get used to the dead people" She said to Ryuko with a wide smile. "Be my guest." Rachel invited Ryuko to enter the shower rooms.

Ayase sat alone in the bar for a while, waiting for the two groups to come back. Misano and Elixabeth haven't reported yet, so far while Rachel and Ryuko are nowhere to be seen. An outside downpour dimmed the entire place into an eerie gray. Suffice to say, the atmosphere wasn't helping calm Ayase's already shaken nerves.

"Aahh! Damn it! Where are those kids?" She walked out of the bar, shining her light around the place, hoping to alert the others that she has already moved out. She was on her way to the sauna when she heard a bell ring.

Ring! Ring!

Now, two thoughts rushed into Ayase's mind as she heard the sound. It could either be another person, who has entered this forsaken building or it could be the ghosts of the place, haunting her. Both thoughts were entertaining, so to say but as a journalist, she kind of knows that there is a logical explanation for each phenomena. But there are also two routes that she can take. She can either wait for the rest of the kids to come back, or she can face whoever is ringing the bell herself. She toyed with the idea for a bit as she stood by the doorway that connects the showers to the main lobby.

"Come on, Ayase. You're twenty-four years old and you know karate so, what could possibly go wrong? Oh wait, the dude may have a gun... then you're screwed."

Fighting back her fears, she finally decided to reveal herself to whoever was waiting outside. "Well, I've lived a pretty fulfilled and enthusiastic life until now. There is no shame if ever I meet my end in this place. If I have to throw away my life in the face of a menace then so be it! Death is not the end of life, but rather, the completion of it..." As she walked calmly outside, what she saw was no menace. He didn't even seem like a vandal, much less a robber or a kidnapper. She sighed in relief. "Well, so much for the unnecessary drama...", she thought, scratching her head as she lowered her guard.

She called out to him to get his attention. "Hey! What are you doing in this place? Are you lost Mister?"
