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?

Yes, I do. Or well, I did before I left home. There was also a ghost at the mansion too.

[thirtybits]

...

What kind of world do you come from.

[papillonmagique]

One where magic is very common and we have creatures like fairies and imps!

[thirtybits]

I know you're used to it, but, you don't think that's a little strange at all?

[papillonmagique]

Not at all. It's been like that for years back home, so nobody there finds it at all strange.

[thirtybits]

Do you mean there was a time it wasn't that way?

[papillonmagique]

A very long time ago. Back them, humans and other creatures lived separately and tended to feud often.

[thirtybits]

Was there ever a time humans and these creatures didn't know of eachother's existence?

[papillonmagique]

... I'm not sure. Maybe a very, very long time ago, but all of the books about history that I've read have mentioned humans and the creatures knowing about each other.

[thirtybits]

Well, that's what I mean, really, yes. I'm sure there was at some point, in the beginning, but that's not usually something that's remembered. Even things that are remembered tend to get twisted around over time...

[papillonmagique]

[Zoe pauses for a moment and taps her chin in thought.] ... I do recall that it was only angels and demons at first, however. It took some time for humans to meet the other creatures of the world.

[thirtybits]

I wonder what it would be like 'discovering' other creatures like that.

--Do you mean the angels and demons live on Earth?

[papillonmagique]

I imagine some panic from both sides.

[And then Zoe's eyes widen slightly and she quickly shakes her head.] Oh no. No. They can travel to earth and they can be summoned to earth, but they live within their own realms... Usually.

[thirtybits]

...Usually? That sounds a bit like my situation, actually.

[papillonmagique]

Hopefully your situation is a bit less dangerous than mine, then. If angels or demons are on earth, it tends to mean something very bad is going to happen or has happened.

[thirtybits]

No, it's...more like a vacation, actually.

[papillonmagique]

... A vacation?
