A new mission? (backdated to the 12th)

Characters: Enoch and anyone
Setting: Floors 3, 17, and 19, Nov. 12
Format: Doesn't matter!
Summary: Enoch seems to have a purpose to his reading! Also, a Prize Pod.
Warnings: Guts. A Bullfairy in extreme pain as usual.

Floor 3: 9:00 AM

Enoch isn't idly reading or checking terminals (well, he may make a quick text post that will probably disappear.), this time, his reading seems to serve a purpose, albeit one he could never utilize in a thousand years, to look at him. He has a notebook and pen with him, as if to take notes. On top of that, each and every book he has is about espionage, for some reason. There is an imp's corpse at his feet. He's not letting those things transform.

A bullfairy is flying around him, bellowing in the pain of using its wings. Eventually, Enoch reaches out and grasps it, cradling it to his chest in one arm while he reads with the other. It struggles at first, but then it realizes that as long as it's held, it doesn't hurt as much. The little monster quiets down and lets Enoch read, taking a much-needed break. Every so often you might catch Enoch petting the little thing while he rests his eyes.

Floor 3: 12:00 PM

This lasts for roughly three hours before the bullfairy starts struggling again. Confused, hesitant, Enoch releases it, and, in pain again, it circles around him before flying off downstairs. Enoch looks at his pile of books, then at the direction of the stairwell the little thing went to. With a sigh, he grabs three of the books and goes to the terminal to make an addendum to his post, to let people looking for him know he's going up to the nineteenth floor.

And, of course, the post has vanished. He tears an empty piece of paper out and writes To those seeking me out: I have gone to the nineteenth level. -Enoch.

Floor 17

Enoch would normally move right past this floor. The bloody handprints and screaming, while always present, were not any less unsettling. But there was something else here this time. Something black and round, something hovering in the air.

A Prize Pod! And no other monsters around to stop him! Of course Enoch wasn't going to pass up a chance to potentially help out someone who had tried the restaurant, and he, lacking the free hands to take out his Arch, jumped up to smack it with the books he was carrying. It worked just as well...but he had no more luck with this Prize Pod than with his first encounter with one, and he found himself with something's intestines draped over his head and shoulders.

Stiffly, he dropped the books and pulled the stuff off, his hair, skin, and armor still streaked red. With a frustrated noise, he picked up his books and walked back to the stairs, looking none too pleased.

Floor 19

The blood had dried to brown at this point, and there are hand- and fingerprints in his books from where he'd continued reading before it had dried. The books he'd picked up on the third floor had been joined by a thicker book, one simply titled "Steganography".

It was a wonder he'd been undisturbed by monsters, bloodied like that from the Prize Pod. It probably had to do with the blood smears on the far wall - Enoch had tried to wipe his hands clean and create some kind of decoy. Or maybe he was just that lucky.

this is probably the latest tag in ever; floor 19

Kyoko had caught he message on the terminal by chance, debated the merits of replying, but quickly shrugged it off as being pointless if she was just going to meet him anyway. Not like any message she left would be seen anyway. So, instead she made her way down to the nineteenth floor (too stuffy for her to normally visit,) working away at the pair of bread rolls she had with her.

"You the one that left that message on the network?" She asked as she caught sight of Enoch, approaching him briskly.

"Yeah. Name's Kyoko." She sized him up. Just about everyone here seemed to have one power or another, but old habits die hard and she couldn't quite content herself with talking to others about it. "I take it you've already run into a few Puella Magi."

She wondered idly just how many there were here that she didn't know about, then pushed the idea away. No Witches here to fight over, so it didn't really matter.

"Yeah, but she never mentioned anyone here having that kinda ability. Heh, looks like that girl's been holding out on me again." She grinned, though it quickly faded into something more serious. His question was only met with the shake of the head. She had a couple of Grief Seeds on her. "Do ya really think ya should be doing something like that? You're offering to shoulder other people's curses, y'know."

Kyoko bit back a remark on his idealism; she didn't trust it to last, but seeing what happened to Sayaka had left a mark on her. She didn't want to see that happen to anyone else and, more importantly, she didn't want to go through that herself.

"Is that so? Sounds like a pretty useful ability to have around here. So, what's the catch? Ya gotta want something in return for that sorta favor."

"Nah, it's nothing like that. It's just a pain when they leave out the details, you know?" Like the fact that contracting means becoming a zombie and, eventually, a witch. "...Well, I won't complain if ya wanna do it free of charge, since that makes it easier on me."

Which was, of course, an incredibly roundabout way of showing her appreciation. She tugged her box of pocky out of her pocket, flipping the top open before holding it out to him. "Want one?"

"Never had it before? It's called pocky. It's a kinda snack. It comes in all kinds of different flavors, y'know!" She grinned as she spoke. She was, at the very least, enthusiastic about food. "Ah, I've only got chocolate on me right now though."

Kyoko chuckled. This guy was so proper and polite, the total opposite of Kyoko herself. It wasn't too bad though, running into people like this every once in awhile. It's enough to take some the edge off her abrasive personality. She bit off a chunk of the one she had pulled out for herself after tucking the box away.

"I take it you're not big on junk food."

Kyoko chuckled at that statement, though not unpleasantly. A hand rested on her hip. "Boy, you sure are behind the times." Her voice was light though, even a bit teasing. Still, she was willing enough to oblige him. "The junk part just means that it's not strictly healthy. You know, stuff like candy that's got a ton of sugar in it."

"What, seriously?" Kyoko was unable to keep the shock off of her face, though there were traces of excitement too. She could see he was kinda old-fashioned, but she hadn't suspected that. "I knew this tower brings in all kinds, but I never thought I'd get to meet somebody from a completely different time period, y'know!"

"Heh. Though you know, I'm pretty sure this place is even more advanced than where I come from too. It's sorta like getting to time travel."
