[Starts at dormitory, then wanders to Floor 38]
Kota stayed still on his bed for a while, dumbfounded for the most part and partly from the sleep paralysis. Where the heck was he? He was sleeping in his ~~trashy~~ room at the Den, not in this...weird place! As the paralysis wore off and he slowly got up, he found the letters addressed to him. His world, gone? That can't be right, not when things were starting to look up with Lindow back at the Den!

He took a quick look around the room before resting his eyes on his God Arc that was propped up against a chest. He moved over to the chest and opened it, which revealed a few recovery items as well as...

"Nozomi's charm..." He found himself taking a familiar charm out. The charm that his little sister had made for him... He gazed down at it as he fell to his knees, despair setting down heavily onto his shoulders. "No... It... It can't be true...!"

All the things he had been fighting for... Gone? He didn't want to believe it.

After a while, he was able to bring himself to get out of the dormitory room. He wandered aimlessly, almost dropping his God Arc a few times due to not being able to put his mind into anything else. The world... His friends... His family... Gone... He was still having a hard time fully digesting it. Soon, he found himself in a room with no walls. No, it was glass all around. Kota staggered over to the glass and gazed out at the clouds.

[Kitchen...]
Eventually, Kota got bored of the lounge room and he wandered around once again, this time looking to get something to eat. God Eaters ate up more energy than regular humans, and after sleeping for who knows how long, his stomach was demanding that he get something to eat. He looked over at the menu, giving a gulp as his mouth watered.

Did he forget about the oatmeal requirement? Possibly...

"I wouldn't let your mouth water just yet."

Hei had already been at the kitchen, nutrition bar in hand and eating it as he observed the new kid. While he wasn't there long, he got used to the rules and such this tower had. And one of them dared to fight against the natural order of what he liked: food.

"Huh?" Kota looked up to see the young man, confusion clear on his face. "Why's that?"

Yep, he forgot about the oatmeal requirement.

"Because your body will just throw it back up, at least until you fulfill a certain requirement." He then pointed at the end of the menu, showing obstacle two: prices. "And you need money for the rest of the food too."

"Wait, they take money for food?!" Kota took a step back, a big frown showing up on his face. "Well, the menu sounds more appealing than what I had back at the Den..."

Gian corn on the cob every day wasn't something that was appealing after some time... Then his attention turned to the last item on the menu.

"What's this 'oatmeal' thing?" He asked.

Hei was about to explain the oatmeal, of course making note of this "Den," but what he said may have helped to get some more information on that. While oatmeal wasn't a popular meal, in terms of taste, it should at least be known, or had as a young child at best.

"You don't know what oatmeal is?"

"Well... no." Kota responded. "The world I lived in didn't have a whole lot of things to eat."

He lightly scratched his cheek as he gave a small frown. Then he finally realized what the oatmeal was supposed to be for.

"Oh, right! Everyone needs to eat this oatmeal thing before they get to eat anything else, right?"

Probably meant his world was more barren of life and such. There appeared to be a few people like that here as well, and made more sense if the worlds really were destroyed, even if that was still a story Hei refused to believe in.

"You catch on quick," he replied. "Those are the rules apparently, one unable to be broken, unless you like cleaning the floors."

Cleaning the floors? Did he mean...

"Wait..." Kota raised a hand, unsure whether to keep talking about this. "...What exactly does happen if you ignore this rule?"

"You will throw the food back up until you do finish eating the oatmeal."

Easy enough explanation. And he couldn't put it any better.

"Seriously...?" He was still struggling to get over the shock that the world was destroyed.

Kota gave a sigh and a shrug; there wasn't much else he could do at this point. "They wouldn't require you to take money for the required meal, right?"

He curiously looked at the menu again for anything he may need to look out for.

"Aside from that and the health bars, those are the only things available for free. At least from what is in the kitchen says."

If Hei could cook, he definitely would. Cooking was one of the few things he could do and like, and want to do no matter what. This week was not a good one.

Kohaku is on a mission.

Beanbags are easy things to arrange. They're formless blobs, for pity's sake, and putting them into serviceable, accessible formations should not be this difficult.

She, however, seems to still possess her unique skill for bumbling anything approximating 'cleaning,' in just the right way to not be satisfied. The nonshapes she tries to coax the beanbags into are somehow all strikingly out of place.

Unfortunately for Kota, there's beanbags that need arranging by the windows, too. Kohaku tries to be as non-intrusive as possible as she darts around him, but it's simply not possible to be unnoticeable when she's failing at something as simple as putting a beanbag into a sit-worthy shape.

"That's just as bad as having corn on the cob everyday!" Kota gave a whine before giving a determined look.

"I completed lots of missions before. If it's payment they need, I'll get them!" Anything for food. Well, almost anything... He'd do anything for Bugarally, though.

If he knew how, Kota would have probably thought of cooking for himself.

Pretty lady, why are you getting into his emo session? Kota wanted to stare at the clouds by himself. Of course, Kota being Kota, he couldn't stay sad for too long. He was distracted away from his emotions as he got distracted from the scenery to the girl who was apparently fussing around with a beanbag.

"Um...???" Kota wasn't sure exactly what to say for the moment.

"Don't get too carried away." Especially considering the type of payment some of the better food wanted, and the fact that some of those demands were random. He had yet to try one out though.

Still, he said something about missions...

"What missions are you talking about?"

"Hm? Well..." Kota started, wondering how to answer it. "Missions are missions! Going out to defeat the monsters that was trying to destroy our world. That's how we got paid, actually."

For Kota, though, knowing his family was safe was good enough reward back when his world existed.

"...But I guess it's not going to be that simple, huh?" He then said, still looking closely at the menu.

"Maybe it well, maybe it won't."

Hei had to ponder what he said. Monsters? World Destruction? This had held some merit, though he also wondered just what kind of creatures resided in this world. He was no stranger to the bizarre and horrific, but he preferred to be away from it.

"At any rate, I suggest gaining as much information as you can as soon as you are done eating your oatmeal."
