✭ 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?

Hello, Aoi.

[Claudia crouches down near the other woman, a smile accompanying the greeting. She has to remind herself not to be too familiar with Aoi, which is still strange, but it's nothing that she can't adapt to. Certainly, it's better than making Aoi uncomfortable.]

Would you like any help?
loved2many: (and nothing need be said)

[personal profile] loved2many 2013-07-07 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, Claudia!

[both different and yet the same, it feels wrong to call her 'this' Claudia or 'that' Claudia; Claudia is Claudia, even if the circumstances she is familiar with are not the same as Aoi knew. Being Kirei's wife, she made familiar company; all the more precious in the insanity of this tower]

Of course, if you don't mind! Have you done gardening before?
sicharia: (i resigned from myself)

[personal profile] sicharia 2013-07-07 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, I've tried a little. [She laughs, sounding sheepish.] To be honest, I didn't make it very far.

[By which she means she tired herself out trying to clean up the field; even now, when she is so much stronger than she used to be, she's frail enough that it still hinders her. And before coming to this place...]

[Well, it should go without saying that during her marriage to Kirei, she was to weak to even keep a flower garden.]


I don't mind at all. Ah, but if you're the expert, you should probably tell me where to start.
loved2many: (My dear!)

[personal profile] loved2many 2013-07-07 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[she laughs] Only in flowers! And in a well kept garden as well, this one in such a state!
sicharia: (when we shine like the sun)

[personal profile] sicharia 2013-07-07 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, well, some experience is still better than none. I'm afraid that makes you the general.

[She says it playfully; right now, it's too easy for her to fall back on habit.]
loved2many: (Be kind to her won't you?)

[personal profile] loved2many 2013-07-07 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm...

To start with, should we confirm what's available? Ah, do you know if anyone else is maintaining a patch? I wouldn't want to intrude...
sicharia: (you seem like the only one)

[personal profile] sicharia 2013-07-08 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I know there's at least one person who is making use of this place, but I can't say I know which patch is his...

[She frowns slightly, automatically looking away to survey the land, in case anything looks to have been tampered with more recently than the rest.]

I don't think he would be upset if we intruded by accident, but that's not really an excuse to be careless or inconsiderate.
loved2many: (If you see that girl again)

[personal profile] loved2many 2013-07-08 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...I suppose we'll just have to careful. Will we meet him, do you think?

Also... I've been reading up a little; radishes and lettuce grow quickly, don't they? They might be best if the weather's unstable.
