✭ 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?

I did say that the Administrators were terrible! But..what do you mean by 'even I wouldn't do that'? Don't tell me you tortured people back in your universe.
strippedofgrace: (the apple now is sweet)

Uh, yeah? It's my job.

[Lucifer looks at Tohko like he's honestly surprised by the objection.]
tohko_amano: (Lecturing)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-06-22 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's never met the Fallen Angel in real life, so..this was odd.]

Was it one you chose yourself or one that was forced on you?

[This was a more important question than it seemed. Some torturers, in stories, were forced into their job and didn't enjoy it, so if this man fell into that category, she might be able to forgive his torturing.]
strippedofgrace: (motel sprees please and I'm singing)

[personal profile] strippedofgrace 2013-06-22 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I picked falling. I'd never take it back.

[So yes.]
tohko_amano: (serious)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-06-22 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[..Well, that would make Tohko sigh..and..smile a little.]

I see. I'm guessing a little here, but I imagine that Michael's probably pretty sad about that. Why did you fall though? And..what sorts of people go into Hell in your universe? Those with just bad actions, just bad intent, or those with both?
strippedofgrace: (me and God we don't get along)

[personal profile] strippedofgrace 2013-06-29 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
One question at a time, lady. Why I fell - eh, don't you read?
tohko_amano: (Lecturing)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-06-29 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I do! I am the book girl, after all! But you're forgetting that most stories, while good, sometimes have different reasons why you fell and different interpretations of you. Plus, my universe may be different than yours. That's why I'm asking.
strippedofgrace: (motel sprees please and I'm singing)

[personal profile] strippedofgrace 2013-06-30 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
Fine. I hate takin' orders from anybody. Whole reason.
tohko_amano: (Serious)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-06-30 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, alright then! So you wanted a bit of freedom and free will.

[Assuming, of course, that he didn't have it in the first place.]

I suppose that answers that question..but what about the other two? Will you answer them?
strippedofgrace: (your body's aching)

[personal profile] strippedofgrace 2013-07-09 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do you care who goes to Hell?
tohko_amano: (Default)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-07-09 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Because I'm curious.

[..And she was a bit worried about Chia, but in this place, right now, Chia didn't have to worry about going to Hell.]
tohko_amano: (Looking over her shoulder)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-08-22 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you think that's a fair reason, then answer them!
strippedofgrace: (I could see she was a fiery one)

[personal profile] strippedofgrace 2013-09-05 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's deeds. You can't get in trouble for thoughts or beliefs.
tohko_amano: (puzzled)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-09-05 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Deeds..seeing as Chia hadn't done anything serious, she was probably alright then. Thinking about that, Tohko smiled and nodded.]

Alright then! That's good to hear..but what sorts of deeds can get you in trouble?
strippedofgrace: (I'm living like Jim Morrison)

[personal profile] strippedofgrace 2013-09-15 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Murder, cheatin', lyin', stealin'... the obvious.
tohko_amano: (Apologetic)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-09-19 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
I see..

[While most of those didn't strike her as odd, the lying didn't sit well with her.]

I can see why all of those would be in there..but what about white lies? Do you go to hell for those too?
strippedofgrace: (you have forsaken)

[personal profile] strippedofgrace 2013-09-25 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't you think we take context into account here?
tohko_amano: (Looking over her shoulder)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-09-26 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I was hoping you would, but again, I'm not part of your universe. I wouldn't know, so that's why I asked.
