Warnings: Mild angstmuffinry?

So, magic dirt. You grab some, you think about the thing you want, and boom, done! Woo.

At least, that's the theory. Possibly it was a bad idea for Jessica to try to develop something while she's stressed and freaking out because the full weight of her situation finally hit. Because now, she keeps trying to make something fortressy, but all she comes up with are things from home.

Beige wallpaper.

A soft peach couch with frayed arms and an old antimacassar.

The carpeted stairs with a stubborn purple stain.

A varnished wooden board with pegs bearing leashes.

She frowns, furrowing her brow, and tries to will everything to take the shape her brain wants, not the shape her heart does. Mind over matter, right? Right.

Stone, thick and solid.

A tower, tall enough to see all the Gardens.

Off-white painted walls with a border of pink flowers.

A desk with a lamp attached, and a built-in holder for pens.

A window with yellow blinds, sunlight streaming in.

No, no, no, stop it!

Her room ignores the orders, sweeping up and over her.

There's a stone tower in the garden, with a window at the top. There's a fully-furnished bedroom inside.

There's a Jessica seated on the bed, hugging a pillow and crying.

Rose was doing her daily wandering when she noticed a tower appear out of nowhere. Out of all the odd things to happen in this place, this ranked as one of the more unusual. Perhaps the Queen decided on a whim to put it there, or perhaps it was yet another prison to hold more dangerous residents.

Still, the tower was too much for Rose to ignore. She made her way towards it, keeping her mind open in case someone was inside. Then she heard faint crying. "Are you all right?" She called, hoping for some kind of answer.

There were few walls that members of SOLDIER were incapable of scaling. Sephiroth only had to leap. With her speed and strength, it was almost like flying. The tower, though tall, did not intimidate her, and she was as curious about it as she would have been about any new structure in the Gardens, especially one so odd.

Why a tower with no door?

She leapt up to the window and inside. She hadn't been expecting to find anything in particular within the tower, but she was surprised to find Jessica there, and just as surprised to find her so visibly upset. "Jessica. Are you in need of assistance?"

...

Tenshi spotted the tower early. While she had no idea what the tower meant, she figured that a heavy strone structure implied someone wanting to protect something.

Hopefully by force!

She quickly hopped on her floating rock and moved towards the window, where she then knocked.
