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?

[thirtybits]

That's really unnecessary...!

[Although he doesn't make any move to go in.]

[papillonmagique]

I'm not going to let you wait for ages either~!

[Just gonna take a few steps over to him. Probably doesn't help that she's a bit taller thanks to her high heels.]

[thirtybits]

[...Oh no she's serious.]

Alright, alright!

[Finally he goes ahead, if only so she won't stick to her word and carry him in.]

[papillonmagique]

[And Zoe laughs to herself as she walks into the elevator, moving lean against one of the walls.]

See, that wasn't so hard! And there's plenty of room for both of us.

[thirtybits]

[Judas does the same, making sure to pick the opposite wall to give her plenty of space.]

You're just persistent...

[papillonmagique]

[That gets her to chuckle again.]

Very persistent. I tend not to give up until I have my way.

But either way, are you also new to this place?

[thirtybits]

That easy to tell, huh. Yes, I am - I assume that means you are too?

[papillonmagique]

That's right, I just got here this morning. I'm Zoe Gallais.

[thirtybits]

Nice to meet you, it's the same for me.

[Oh, he should return the introduction, huh... He lowers his voice.]

Judas

[and lower still]

Iscariot.

[papillonmagique]

Nice to meet you, too- [Pause. And she raises her eyebrow.]

... Your parents certainly had an odd choice in names.

[thirtybits]

[He coughs, trying to fill the silence as he searches for a response.]

It being an odd name to have is my fault to begin with.

[papillonmagique]

... Seriously? [Just going to stare at him now.]

[thirtybits]

Seriously.

I'll get off at the first stop.

[papillonmagique]

Oh, is there somewhere you need to go?

[thirtybits]

Hm? No, I just mean I'll leave you alone...

[papillonmagique]

Why would you need to leave me alone? You aren't bothering me.

[thirtybits]

Because I'm Judas, of course! And clearly you know what that means, so you don't need me breathing your air any longer.

[papillonmagique]

I don't care. [Zoe crosses her arms and shrugs.] Yes, you're Judas Iscariot, so what? I'm not going to treat you any differently than I have been, because I don't know you yet.

[thirtybits]

You're crazy if you need to hear any more than my name to judge me...

[papillonmagique]

I don't judge. It's been thousands of years since you did what you did, and I firmly believe people can change. If I'm going to do any judging, it will be based on what you do now.

[thirtybits]

Even if future actions can be changed, past actions can't. And in this case...it's too much to just forgive.

[papillonmagique]

... Where were you before you arrived here?

[thirtybits]

Huh? Why? I was grocery shopping with Peter and Andrew, I think...

[papillonmagique]

So, you weren't in Hell or anything like that?

[thirtybits]

Well, I was, until recently.
