✭ 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?

Then you need a guide.
thirtybits: (but I was looking)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it really that dangerous? I'm sure I can handle it.
scentofmakai: (Sciomyzidae)

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-06-20 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Let me put it this way, more of these floors can kill you than can't kill you. It's an asshole tower and you've got to know your way around.
thirtybits: (As the floods of God)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been somewhere like that before, so it really shouldn't be so bad.
thirtybits: you (I've got a joke I've been dying to tell)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[He lowers his voice, mumbling.]

Hell.
scentofmakai: (Lonchaeidae)

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-06-20 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hell's not that bad. Though speaking as a demon, I'm maybe a little biased in favor.
thirtybits: (destroyed the walls of Jericho)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
--You're a demon?

[Excuse him if he looks mildly terrified]

Then I can assure you it is that bad for humans!
thirtybits: (the message on the tablet)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Torture's not that bad?
scentofmakai: (stars looking at our planet)

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-06-20 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
We don't torture anybody.
thirtybits: (the time will sleep us sinners by)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
What? That's what Hell is, eternal torture for human sinners!
scentofmakai: (Heleomyzidae)

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-06-20 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's where demons live. That's what Hell is.
thirtybits: (the message on the tablet)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...I have a feeling your Hell is a little different.
scentofmakai: (Helosciomyzidae)

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-06-20 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You're probably from a world where God's not a dickbag.
thirtybits: (whip away the sickness)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...

If He is in yours, then yes, definitely.
scentofmakai: (Dryomyzidae)

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-06-20 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
The worst of all possible dickbags.
thirtybits: (some people crash two or three times)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry to hear that - it doesn't tend to be that way.
scentofmakai: (Nemestrinidae)

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-06-20 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It sucks that your Hell was that kind of place.
thirtybits: (the homeland the fuel of evil)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there nowhere for sinners to be punished after death in your world, then?
scentofmakai: (Huttoninidae)

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-06-20 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
God does that job sometimes if you really piss Him off. My boss doesn't care.
thirtybits: (the holy cross roads)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-20 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
......

That sounds nice. I'm sure He would be better than Lucifer.
scentofmakai: (Nycteribiidae)

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-06-21 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I'm clear enough on the 'horrible terrible God' part.
thirtybits: (and my suffering)

[personal profile] thirtybits 2013-06-21 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think I'm clear enough on the 'horrible, terrible Hell' part...
scentofmakai: (Huttoninidae)

[personal profile] scentofmakai 2013-06-22 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Tortured, reincarnated in a world about to be destroyed with no chance of saving it, tortured, reincarnated, etc. for eternity?
