✭ 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?

Replicas...?

[Aaaaaaaaand you lost him.]
bloodyashes: (Whoa what the hell -)

[And that makes Asch double-take a moment, before remembering that, oh right, this Luke is from a completely different world. One where fomicry is not a thing, apparently.]

Copies of people created through fomicry or similar processes. The you of my world is a replica of me.

[Might as well the whole spoiler.]

[... But... twins. That doesn't make any sense! You can't replicate people. However, he's not dumb enough to miss what the Chosen represent, and how his mana signature matched up so closely with that of Yulia. He frowns.]

... I replaced you.

[That's why Asch is so hostile. It does make sense in that context. He closes his eyes and shakes his head slowly.]

Someone on my world tried to do something similar. His sister had died, so he... tried to find her a new body.
bloodyashes: (Get this over with)

Hmph. At least this version of you can think beyond what's in front of your face.

[Somewhere under all the angry, his opinion of this Luke has just improved, very slightly.

And why does he have the feeling that if Luke had named names, he'd recognize every last one?

Oh, right, because it's a full cast transplant.]

[He folds his hands into his coat.]

... I replaced the other Asch, too. He wanted to go on the journey so that he could die. The doctors gave him a certain amount of time to live, and he accepted it without looking for another solution.

What I did was wrong, but I don't regret the outcome. He's going to be cured soon. [Or... he was.]
