To get you started, here are a few optional prompts for you to use if you so wish:

Prompts
1. [Setting: Floor Twenty-Eight] There are musical instruments all around this floor, with a grand organ taking the center stage. It could be a good place to pick up a new skill or two! But wait... what's that? You hear music playing? Well, maybe there's someone already on the floor. Or maybe not... sometimes the instruments play themselves, after all.

2. [Setting: Floor Forty-Five] The walls on this floor are made of glass, which would be nice if there were anything to see. Sadly, there's not much, as the clouds are so thick at this height that you really can't make out if there's anything out there, anything below you, or anything above you. If you hear a skittering sound, that's just the faceless humanoid creatures crawling around on the outside windows. Don't worry, they can't get in... but they will skitter around to watch your every move.

3. [Setting: Floor Eighty-Eight] There's a bar here, and you better hope there's not any alcohol. Most of the time there isn't no matter how hard you look - but sometimes there is, and more often than not even a little bit of it will make you violently sick from alcohol poisoning. But if you're really lucky, you'll just get drunk. There's a pool table in the center of this always-smoky floor, so even if you can't drink you can still act all adult and sophisticated.

4. [Setting: Floor Twenty-Two] Are you a cultured person? Then this is the floor for you. It seems to be an art gallery, and there are paintings from many different worlds on display here - maybe even one or two from yours! But don't get lost, because if you do, you may not like what you see. Paintings of the worst atrocities known to mankind have been known to be on display around here, and if you're really unlucky, you'll stumble across an entire section filled with paintings of the things you fear most.

5. [Setting: Floor Ninety-Four] This is a darkroom, and it's okay if you don't own a camera, because there are a few old-fashioned ones you can borrow to take pictures. Maybe this is a good time to pick one up and try your hand at photography. Or maybe you've turned off the lights, but if that's so, don't look too closely at the shadows. They'll sometimes become humanoid figures that will follow you around, and if you look directly at them they'll possess you, crawling into your throat - you won't be able to leave the floor, and you'll try to kill anyone who enters, but this will only last until you are killed or the lights are turned on.

6. [Setting: Floor Three] A bookworm will feel right at home here, among the towering shelves filled with books of all kinds. You won't find anything about the history of the Tower, though, and you certainly won't find anything about the world you or anyone else here came from, but if you're looking for a tale to read or something to study up on, you're in the right place.

7. [Setting: Anywhere] Uh-oh. That's a monster, or maybe more than one of them. You might be equipped to handle it or you might not. But the question is, what do you do? Do you face it head on... or do you flee? Or maybe the monster has already spotted you, and you're in need of a rescue. That's alright. It happens quite often here.

I wish no harm to be brought to him, but... without him... [He is so terribly lost.]

... The only thing you can do, I think, is to try to find your way back to him. Focus on finding ways to fight back against the administrators and find a way out. If he arrives here, he does, but it is best to focus on getting out of here.

[He just nods at that.]

These administrators. What can thou say of them?

There are four of them. There was once five, but the fifth one was devoured by one of the others.

The ones to be wary of are Jason and Ruana. Jason enjoys treating us as test subjects, while Ruana likes to force us to take part in games that tend to result in maiming or death. She is also the one who devoured the fifth administrator. Riki is... odd, nobody is really sure what he is up to. Zo is the only child among them, and the one who is most likely to help us escape.

Devoured? Quite unpleasant. [That's all he has to say of that.]

May they be reached within the tower?

They can through the suggestion box on one of the floors, but other than that, they are only reachable when they allow themselves to be. It is rare to be able to talk to them, let alone see them face to face.

I thought as much. Very well. I will wait until they present themselves.

Luckily they have been doing it more and more lately. Is there anything else you wish to know?

If I may not sharpen my claws against these administrators, dost lesser targets exist?
