Black Bone Tower Part 31

Previous: Black Bone Tower Part 30

The numbered buttons continued on, and Miko Nikk was on the double-digits. Sixteen was located on a wall of the third staircase, she was prompt in pushing it and activating its function. If her calculations were correct, she only had a few more to go, but they were located in different ends of the tower, and she had to hurry, before her crewmates got sucked up into this hell of a tower and had no means of escaping. She learned much from this place, and much of it was very unscrupulous in origin.

Some of the history of the place made her mildly sick, but she shrugged it off, and soon found herself thinking about the guy with the sword, Kin. What was it about him? What did she see in him that would make her act that way. She literally just gave her first kiss to a young man she just learned the name of, and was trying to slice her with a sword... well, now she found herself answering her own question as a wry grin crossed her face.

Mei: You see, Tessa? I told you she was coming after these numbered buttons.

Tessa: Hmmm... Guess I owe you a soda after all.

Nikk stopped as she reached the bottom of the stairs, and straightened her black trench coat.

Mei: Now then, little girl [Stepped out into the open, wielding a morning star mace, a ball of spikes on a chain, that was attached to a stick.] How about telling us where the rest of them are, why you are pushing them, and what's going to happen when you push all of them?

Nikk looked off to the side and her eyes seemed concentrated on the wall, then she turned around and faced Mei and Tessa. Mei was a taller woman, with a scar running from her left eye to the bottom left side of her jaw. Her hair was orange, and her face was rough, obviously having some mileage on her. Then she looked over to Tessa, who still sported the metal arm, and the bored look in her eyes, along with her long, raven-black hair.

Nikk: Since the ancient times, the idea that events transpired in a linear progressive momentum has been disputed between philosophers, and religious followers. As some have debated that time is always forward moving, and ever progressing. While some argue that since time is fated and set beforehand, that time is non-existant and will never evolve, and things will move as they were meant to from the time they were created until the time they expire. Both of these theories are entirely plausible, but I, for one, think that both are somewhat true, as time does go by as it should, but the forward movement simply exists as events will transpire as they were meant to, but serving their purpose in the perspective of whoever perceives it as it occurs.

Tessa and Mei paused for a moment, Nikk had clearly lost them for that moment, but then Mei shook her head.

Mei: She's trying to stall us, we don't have time for this, so, I suppose we're going to have to do this the hard way. [She said, and noticed Nikk was staring the wall again.] Don't ignore me! [Started to spin the spike ball around fast, and charged toward Nikk.
