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 can walk you back to the dormitory floor if you'd like somewhere safe to rest for a while. You'll be safe with me--I promise. I can fight whatever we might come across well enough.

[Waver held out his hand, offering Aoi a hesitant smile.]

Please. I really do just want to help you.

...

[she takes it, eventually.]

...What did you wish for?

...You'll probably laugh if I tell you.

[Waver did so himself, at least--quietly and under his breath as he started leading Aoi upstairs.]

I didn't wish for anything. I was only a teenager at the time--I didn't really think the whole thing through before I got involved.

Ahah... [it's absurd and... frankly just as stupid as Tokiomi's reasons. No grand plans, just pursuing his dreams.

It makes her laugh, then promptly feel terrible as she's lead up the winding stair.]

It's alright--go ahead and laugh about it. In retrospect it was a pretty stupid half-baked idea, but I can't say I regret it.

...He was trying to reach Akasha. That's what he was fighting for.

...I suppose most accomplished magi would ideally be aiming for the same. An admirable goal in its own right, but personally not quite to my intellectual taste.

It's what the Grail was originally for, as I understand it. [though don't ask her exactly how it functioned]

As a magus of the Tohsakas, he was obligated.

It's not really my place to question the three families' motivations.

[Casually leaving out his 'fuck the grail' ambitions.]

I have my own modus operandi and so do they, that's really all there is to it in my opinion.

Mhm...

[but Tokiomi wouldn't be able to... anymore....

She falls silent again as they climb the stairs.

Obtaining the Gail, dancing to the whims of that insane undead Magician... these were the Tohsaka's ancestral duties. Duties that would now be falling to Rin...]

...I don't know if this will help at all, but Rin's a good kid ten years down the line. She's a little abrasive, but definitely has a good head on her shoulders. Once she graduates from high school back in Fuyuki, I have every intention of making sure I get her as a student.

...

[so Rin, at least, was doing alright]

...I'm glad.

[Waver sighed, looking relieved that he'd actually said something right.]

I seriously doubt 'I'll keep an eye on her' will be any reassurance. For a professor, I'm afraid I can be something of a screwup.

You seem like a good person.

Ah... there was another; a... friend. Sakura Matou. Have you heard of her?

You flatter me, but thank you all the same.

... [By now he'd heard the general situation from Kariya, but considering the finer details of it he decided to tread a little cautiously.]

I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her back home. We crossed paths once or twice here; she seemed like a nice girl.
