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]

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.

[papillonmagique]

So you were let out? [She slowly starting to smile again...]

[thirtybits]

...Yes, I guess so. I shouldn't have been, though. Jesus is too forgiving, that's all.

[papillonmagique]

But he still forgave you. So what you done technically isn't unforgivable.

[thirtybits]

[He bites his lip, trying to think of some way to argue, but there doesn't seem to be much room for it.]

Ah, well...

[papillonmagique]

Well~? [Now she's grinning smugly, waiting to see if he does try to argue.]

[thirtybits]

Well, I'm supposed to be watched all the time and not go off on my own, so it's more like probation...

[papillonmagique]

Judging by how you were acting earlier with the elevator, I wouldn't blame them for wanting you to be watched.

[thirtybits]

What do you mean?

[papillonmagique]

How do I say this... [Zoe taps her chin in thought.] ... It doesn't really seem you take care of yourself. I imagine if I hadn't threatened to carry you, you would probably still be telling people that they could do on ahead and you would wait for the next elevator.

[thirtybits]

...Is that so bad? Others should be put well before me.

[papillonmagique]

If it's done to an extreme amount, then yes, it is bad. And even by looking at you, I can tell you don't really eat or sleep much either.

[thirtybits]

Those aren't really things you get to do in Hell, so, it's easy to forget now...not that I need much of either to begin with.

[papillonmagique]

Oh, so does this mean I should make sure to remind you to eat and sleep, then?

[thirtybits]

...No, I don't need anyone reminding me!

[papillonmagique]

[And that gets her to giggle.] All right, if you are so certain about that.

[thirtybits]

I know I'm a bit underweight, and I don't have the best sleeping habits, but it's really not a problem...

[papillonmagique]

I should hope not. You've already been punished enough, so you don't need to start punishing yourself by not taking care of yourself.

[thirtybits]

No, you can't be punished enough for the greatest offense, but...trying to do it myself would only be another sin. I realised that after last time, so there's no reason to worry.

[papillonmagique]

... Very well. I've heard that this place is dangerous, so I do want you to watch out for yourself.

[thirtybits]

Even if something happens, it doesn't last long, though, right?

[papillonmagique]

I have heard that death is not permanent. But I imagine any horrible injuries do not just instantly disappear.

[thirtybits]

Well, naturally I don't WANT to be in that sort of situation, but it sounds a bit like Hell, so...I think I can manage. ...If you ever need any sort of help, you can call on me.
