✭ Interested in finding out what's happened so far? Check out the plot guide and recap post!

To get you started, here are a few optional prompts for you to use if you so wish:

Prompts
1. [Setting: Elevators] Did you know it takes a half hour to get from the top of the dorms down to the cafeteria by elevator? Well you're finding out now! Strike up a conversation with the others stuck in there with you! Maybe play I Spy or something.

2. [Setting: Floor Eighty-Six] What's with all the mushrooms? And why are they in circles? That's weird--but maybe the mushrooms are edible? On the other hand, maybe you know exactly what these are--and you should really stop that idiot who's going to jump right in the middle of one of the fairy rings before he gets everyone on the floor turned to jell-o or something.

3. [Setting: Floor Seventy-Nine] Fancy some deep-sea diving? Grab some scuba gear, hop off the staircase, and explore some ruins! Just be careful you don't run out of air or run into a shark (or run into a shark while you're running low on air). Of course, if you can breathe underwater or just don't need to breathe at all, then the sharks would be your only worry. Try and find some treasure!

4. [Setting: Floor Fifty-Nine] Is this a torture chamber? Yes it is. Maybe you want to get out of here as soon as possible or maybe this floor really speaks to you. Maybe you want to give that iron maiden try on the first person who happens to wander by! On the other hand, maybe you got a bit too close to something and are about to take a spin in the racks yourself. Hopefully someone will come help you.

5. [Setting: Floor Thirty-Three] There's farmland on this floating island, and anything you can grow yourself is bound to be more reliable quality-wise than the cafeteria food. Of course, the recent odd storms have made a mess of this floor. Get to cleaning it up and then get to growing something!

6. [Setting: Floor Two] It's time for your first collar checkup! Go wait in the waiting room for your turn--maybe strike up a conversation and find out what this is all about! Or try to fight the worker units when they call for you, not that fighting them ever ends well.

7. [Setting: Anywhere] Whoops, you've gotten distracted, or lost, or you're still climbing up the stairs when night falls. It's time for the monsters to start prowling--and one's got its eyes (or whatever sensory organs it may have) on you! Time to fight back, or time to run?

Lucifer | Saint Young Men

[strippedofgrace]

[Almost anywhere]
Hey you!

[A guy with weird clothing/lack of clothing and a flash of fangs when he speaks is storming over to you.]

What's goin' on here? And don't give me any of that 'saved' crap.

[Scenario 2]
[Yeah, he's totally going to try to pick the mushrooms. He's eaten far, far worse. Stop him?]

[thirtybits]

[Should he stop him, those mushrooms look sketchy, stopping him would be the right thing to do...

But if that's really who he thinks it is - and it's not very likely to be anyone else - maybe it's...not so bad if he gets food poisoning...]

...That might not be a good idea.

[strippedofgrace]

Eh?

[Lucifer stops and looks over at him.] They're better than oatmeal even if they're poisonous.

[thirtybits]

I heard you have to eat the oatmeal before anything else, actually...

[strippedofgrace]

Gimme a good reason.

Scenario 2

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sometimes hung around the fairy rings to read and stop other people from walking in them, but this was the first time she saw anyone trying to pick them. While they might not be poisonous, it still..probably wasn't a good idea to eat the fairy mushrooms.]

I wouldn't eat those if I were you! Fairy ring mushrooms are pretty powerful. You could get sick, break into a million pieces, or something even worse!

[strippedofgrace]

[Lucifer immediately stops what he's doing.]

Tch, never had food break me before. Guess I'll find some other food.

[tohko_amano]

I imagine that's been the case with a lot of people here, but this Tower is a place where things can break you, even food. The cafeteria is a good place to get some food..but don't go to the restaurant on the twenty-first floor. They have a lot of good food, but if you can't get the payment for it later, they take a body part, and I imagine that it's just all water and nutrition bars anyway.

[strippedofgrace]

So don't you just pay for it?

[Almost anywhere]

[tobehisblade]

[He didn't turn around at first. It seemed as if the call had fallen upon deaf ears. As a few moments passed, the stranger turned his head, his single-eyed gaze shooting across the way in a piercing, and very hostile glow.]

Ho ho ho~ A bird has fallen from the nest and fluttered into a den of wolves, has it not..

[strippedofgrace]

I'm gonna assume you're calling yourself the bird here.

[Because screw you, that's why.]

[tobehisblade]

[A deep chuckle echoes through the hall, passing through gritted teeth as the white-haired stranger tossed his hair to the side. Revealing his second, hungry eye, he turned to face the unknown individual as his hands clawed open and his waist lowered into a bow.]

Perhaps. Do you think yourself a wolf, or a pup? Or perhaps it is you who are the bird, and a lone wolf has strayed from the pack for a bite to eat.

[A single hand raises into the air, fingers pressing together in preparation for a "snap".]

[strippedofgrace]

I think you would be a horrible poet.

[One of Lucifer's hands starts lowing red, a flame in his open palm ready to be thrown at his opponent when he makes a move.]

Almost anywhere

[papillonmagique]

[... Welp. Luckily Zoe doesn't feel anything besides a vague sense of 'hey that's the devil', so she quickly relaxes again.]

No clue. Maybe this is one of those reality show things.

[strippedofgrace]

You think so? Guess they'll put anything on the internet nowadays...

[papillonmagique]

Judging from what I've heard about the internet, I'm inclined to agree.

... Though this is far too elaborate for a prank, so it might be the other option of 'we have been kidnapped and may be experimented on'.

[strippedofgrace]

Was kind of hopin' that wasn't it.

[Scenario 1] THIS.

[brbtalkingtogod]

[Have Lucifel who doesn't lack clothing so much but is wearing a see-through shirt instead.]

Then you learned the first lesson of this place.

Re: [Scenario 1] THIS.

[strippedofgrace]

Not to believe whatever I'm told? That's easy.

[brbtalkingtogod]

Of course. Still, there are enough people who believe everything they are told.

[strippedofgrace]

Y'll get stupid ones anywhere.

[warriorscribe]

Well...ah, it's technically true. Our worlds were destroyed and we were spared from that fate. Though this isn't much of a haven, and won't be even that for much longer...

*A sigh, terse and tired. His eyes look older than he is. He may also sense as...divine. Certainly human, and yet...*

[strippedofgrace]

Think I'd have noticed the world being about to end, unless Michael blew his stupid horn early.

...Who're you?

[warriorscribe]

It comes from outside. Nobody can see it coming.

*Well, except for the people here in the tower. Still, though, the way this person talks about someone named Michael being able to end the world makes him wary...it comes through in his posture and voice.*

And my name is Enoch.

[strippedofgrace]

That so.

[If Enoch in Lucifer's world looked and sounded like this, he doesn't really remember. He shrugs.]

Name's Lucifer.
