Have another intro post
Characters: Enoch and anyone else who may be where he is
Setting: Room 3-18, morning; cafeteria, morning; lower floors up to floor four until sunset, at which point he returns to his room (he can be interacted with there too, or anywhere on the dormitory floors).
Format: Doesn't matter, I'll probably match whoever's tagging.
Summary: Enoch wakes up and...tries to adjust to the thought of losing the world he came from. Or goes straight into denial. Maybe tries to find the others from Meridian.
Warnings: None yet
Room 3-18
Enoch wasn't a stranger to sleep paralysis, considering it could be caused by stress and he'd had three rough centuries.
But this wasn't where he'd gone to sleep. The bed was too narrow. Where was Armaros? What was around his neck and what was he wearing? The moment he could move, he sat up, a hand going to his throat to feel the collar. As he felt along the tubing, feeling the faint pulse of liquid moving through it, he caught sight of the note on the nightstand.
His hand began to tremble as he read it. Destroyed...? Had one of the warring sides launched an attack? But that would mean...
No. He set the note down. He didn't want to think that Armaros could be dead. Maybe they'd saved him too. Maybe their benefactor had rescued everyone in Meridian - it was a city that apparently had several rifts to the outside, after all.
To keep his mind off the disturbing thought, he got up and checked out the chest at the foot of his bed. If any of his roommates were around, he gave them acknowledging glances as he got up, but didn't speak to them just yet. There was nothing, however, stopping them from speaking up.
Floor 1
Enoch had dressed and summoned his armor in his room, and had his Arch out as a light source, faint as it was. He wasn't sure what was going on, or how they could "be happy" in a place so dark and foreboding. The note had explained there was a "network" here, but all the "terminals" it spoke of seemed to be inactive. It had said there was food on the lowest floor, but there didn't seem to be anything...except this bowl of something pale Enoch couldn't quite make out in whatever light there was. He had passed a few other people eating it, though, so he assumed it was safe. He sat down to eat in the nearest chair after getting his bowl of oatmeal, without checking to see if there was anyone else at the table nearby.
He took a spoonful. Bland, whatever it was, but he'd eaten worse than that. It was warm, at least, and that much was some comfort.
Floors 2, 3, 4
"I'm looking for someone...he's about my height and has a spade-tipped tail; he has dark skin and white hair. Have you seen him?"
You might or might not have been asked this question as Enoch searched the infirmary and the library, and made a short trip around the lounge before going back down again.
Eventually, he found himself again at the floor with the glass walls, the beginnings of despair having begun to sink in. The place was dark and desolate and nobody seemed to have seen Armaros. He rested his head against the glass, watching the storm rage outside. After a moment of this, he removed something in a plastic collectible card sleeve from his pocket, read its contents, and closed his hand around it, looking out at the world around the tower.
"Armaros, you can't be...gone."

"Armaros, you can't be...gone."

He paused, grimacing at the thought. Suddenly the task of undressing and putting on his jeans was interesting enough to warrant his full attention. With his jeans on, he reached into his pocket to pull something in a clear sleeve out. Only then did he finish his sentence.
"...But I don't want to believe it."
no subject
"I don't believe it either," he said as he reached for the notes on his bedside table. "The world can't just end like that."

...And then he remembered the little boy, Ico, who had said he'd been holding his friend's hand.
No, surely their rescuer was more discerning than the rifts that led to Meridian. Enoch pocketed the memento and sat down to put on his sandals.
"I wouldn't want to accuse someone who's rescued us of lying, but..." He couldn't finish that sentence, shaking his head slowly. But this couldn't be true.

...well, he could ask for what of someone who would know the answer.
"We've only seen this room so far. If they've truly rescued us, then...perhaps we aren't the only ones."
Enoch stood, and light formed around his body from the feet up, taking shape as his armor.

"The two other beds look used, at the very least...!" He stared at Enoch a little dumbly, still not used to people having strange powers. Hell he didn't have any powers a few days ago! "How did you..."
no subject
"It's a blessing from God, to protect me." Close enough. He didn't want to go into the full story right now. He didn't know whether he should be grieving or angry and being torn between the two wasn't doing him any favors.
no subject
"Which god?"
no subject
"He has many names. We often only call him 'God'."

"I'm...I've never heard that name for Him." The name sounded more human than anything, in fact...to say Enoch was confused was perhaps too little.

Destroyed...
"I want to find more of this place first." More of the people in this place. If Meridian was gone, perhaps he wasn't the only one saved. He'd never know if he didn't look.
