✭ 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?

Floor 62 because beaches

[Xion is sitting at the edge beach when she hears that thunk. Startled, she looks up and sees- someone just ran into a wall. Someone with wings and red hair - red almost like Asch's and Luke's.

She tilts her head a little to the side, then, after some hesitation, calls out]


Are you okay?

That was the intent, yes! I didn't want to limit anyone tho and there's a couple oceanic floors.

[Luke makes a face. Though he's kind of far, he can hear her just fine. He shakes off the shock of running into an invisible wall and flutters over to the beach, only settling down when he's safely over sand.]

I-I'm fine. I was trying to see how far I could go... I guess this really is a tower.

[Xion nods a little, bringing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them.]

Yeah... They're really good at making stuff look real when it isn't.

[Ha... haha...]

[personal profile] takehisplace 2013-06-21 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[... HAHAHAHAHAHA.. HAHA.. FUCK..........

He's not too happy about what he's heard re: the Tower, but... that doesn't keep him from trying to make friends. Xion looks really sad, really withdrawn.

He smiles a little.]
But you look real to me. What's your name? I'm Luke.
attheclocktower: (watching ♡ then that word grew)

[personal profile] attheclocktower 2013-06-21 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Let's not get on the topic of being real or not with replicas Luke. Let's just. Not.

She starts a little in surprise though.]


Luke? But, I thought- [Right. Multiples.] I mean.... sorry. It's nice to meet you Luke. I'm Xion.

[personal profile] takehisplace 2013-06-23 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you, too.

[He blinks a couple times at her backpedaling, though.]

You thought... what?

[personal profile] attheclocktower 2013-06-23 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head, smiling a little awkwardly]

It's nothing. It's just... there was another you here that I sort of knew, up until a little while ago.

[And since he seems to be new...]

Having other yous here is normal, really. There was another me here once.

[personal profile] takehisplace 2013-06-23 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Another... me?

[What she's saying doesn't make any sense, but he latches onto one part of that--]

Wait. Was it someone who looked like me, but with longer hair?

[personal profile] attheclocktower 2013-06-23 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[She gets the feeling he's missing the point.]

He did have longer hair, yeah, but what- [wait] Wait... do you mean Asch? He's here too, but... he's not who I'm talking about.

[She means an actual other you, not just someone who looks like you]

[personal profile] takehisplace 2013-06-23 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
So there's another Luke here? And my brother?!

[ H O L Y HELL. Sorry, he's just-- he's new. And he's getting so excited that he might kind of be throwing his arms out to his sides and jumping.]
