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?

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.

[papillonmagique]

Well, I hope you are able to manage. And thank you... It's the same back to you; if you ever require assistance, please let me know.

[thirtybits]

[He probably won't but, he's not about to say so...so he just won't say anything about it.]

I'm trying to make use of the farmland, so if you have trouble trusting the food, that's probably what I can best do to help.

[papillonmagique]

[And Zoe will more than likely nag him about it later on anyway.]

The farmland? Hmm, I may take you up on that, since it does sound like it could be a big help during times the food is best avoided.

[thirtybits]

I hope it works out, I don't know what the quality of the land is like, but anything would be better than nothing. And from what I hear, food shortages are common...

[papillonmagique]

Really? Then food from the farmland would be a great help... I don't know much about farming, but if you ever need any help with that, I will do my best to be of assistance.

[thirtybits]

If you need a way to relax, tending crops is a good way.

[papillonmagique]

Hmm, I usually play the violin or sketch to relax, but tending to crop does sound like a nice way to pass the time.

[thirtybits]

If it doesn't bother you...I'd like to hear you play.

[papillonmagique]

[Zoe looks faintly surprised, but that only lasts for a second before she smiles brightly.]

Of course, I would be more than happy to play for you! And I can promise that you will not be disappointed.

[thirtybits]

Thank you, I would appreciate it, especially in a place like this.

[papillonmagique]

Yes, it would be. Luckily I have an excellent collection of music sheets here with me, so I shall do my best!

[thirtybits]

Do you have any favourite pieces...?

[papillonmagique]

Any favorites? My, this is a tough question... [She takes a few moments to think this over, tapping her chin in thought.]

I can say that I am fond of Johann Sebastian Bach's Chaconne and Ennio Morricone's Chi Mai, but it's difficult to pick favorties.

[thirtybits]

I think I know Chaconne, but then, who doesn't know Bach, so that's not saying much, haha...

[papillonmagique]

That is true. I'm a fan of a number of his pieces... Though most of the pieces I tend to play are from more recent years.

[thirtybits]

More recent years? What time are you from?

[papillonmagique]

Oh, I'm from around 2015. Mid-July, to be exact.

[thirtybits]

Ah, then you're a few years ahead of me, but not so many.

[papillonmagique]

So, there shouldn't be too much of a difference between us in what we know. But does your world have magic?

[thirtybits]

No, only the sort you would see in religion, so more-so saints and the like performing miraclse.
