the world stopped turning after my fall
Characters: Archer/Gilgamesh [AU3] and you!
Setting: Dorm room 2-12 initially, then on to other floors
Format: Whatever you prefer
Summary: Newly arrived and quick to shirk heavy duty explanations and get down to the business of exploring. That's Archer for you.
Warnings: Arrogance and dangerousness if provoked. Typical Gilgamesh.
Dormitory 02-12
Waking up to the feeling of not being able to move was not a completely new experience to Gilgamesh, unfortunately enough. After all, it had not been that long ago that he had expended just about all of his prana and then been overtaken by Saber's Excalibur, and waking up from that feeling had not been fun at all.
But he did not remember falling asleep in a bed. Did he even make it to the couch? Either way, he was staring at a ceiling that was unfamiliar, and his head was cushioned in such a way that--
--Ah. And there was the ability to move again. His lips quirk into a frown as he sits up and stares at ... his clothes. What was this thing supposed to be? Whatever it was, he was better off without it, and so he immediately unzipped the skin-tight suit and began tugging the material off of his arms.
Depending on how long it takes for someone to discover the new resident of room 12 on floor 2, he may be stripped down to half-wearing the suit, not wearing the suit at all, or be in the process of changing into a pair of black pants and an orange v-neck shirt.
Various dormitory levels
After getting out of the dorm room, it's time to properly acclimate himself to his surroundings.
That means wandering around. Gilgamesh doesn't really glance at the nameplates as he goes along, instead focusing on how everything looks pretty much the same wherever he goes. Boring.
He can be seen looking at some of the network terminals as he goes along, though he's not yet to the point of actually operating them. Maybe later, after he's gotten a little bored of exploring by foot. On the dormitory first floor, he's even looking at the open elevator with mild curiosity. Because this floor numbering system is downright odd.
Floor 81
A fascinating display.
Gilgamesh cranes his head back as far as his neck allows, taking in the strange view of the tower that seemed to stretch onward beyond earth and the stars. Seated at the window and quiet in his musings, he wonders if this is a view like what the gods could see. Was this the empty space that Enki sliced through in its devastating drive towards earth?
The mere question sends him back to his battle with Saber, and he finds himself scolding Enki for having failed him at such a critical moment. Because muttering to yourself while staring into space is definitely not strange. (But muttering to a pair of golden swords really wouldn't be much better, anyway.)
Various first block floors
The very idea of exploring new surroundings seems to give energy to the golden-haired man's actions. While he has no set destination on any of the floors he visits, he looks confident; a sharp smile never seems too far away from his face. After puzzling out the elevator earlier, it seemed fitting to go out and actually look at some of the floors in between elevator-visited areas.

[It was unfortunate that the fervor of such battles would be lost without the context of the Holy Grail War -- the strong desire for a miracle. But perhaps he would find ways to around that.
At Diarmuid's prompting, Gilgamesh lightly tugs at his jacket.] I require more clothes than were provided. [Not to mention a number of other things, seeing as his gates did not seem to function as he would like.] Tell me where I can attain more.

[Diarmuid shakes his head at Archer's question.]
I'm afraid that you will not like my answer on that. There are two floors, the workshop on the 15th and another more focused workshop on floor 51, that have the materials needed to make clothing, but you do have to make the clothing yourself or have someone make it for you. Even then, none of the materials are that nice. Also, on floor 51 you have to be careful not to fall asleep. If you do so, it is said that mannequins will move and take the chance to start sewing the openings of your body shut.
Another word of warning, while it looks like there is a great deal of clothing just left on floor 83, nothing on that floor is what it seems.
Honestly, your best bet might be to request more clothing from the administrators, but there is no guarantee you will be granted your request and a lot of the time it depends on what administrator is answering the requests that month. Also, I would suggest wording any request very carefully. Sometimes requests are honored, but only in the loosest sense of the word. For example, people have asked for clothes before, but since they didn't ask for a certain size nothing they got fit.

I will note your suggestions. How would one establish contact with our 'hosts' if they do not make themselves known?
no subject
We don't contact them. They contact us. Every so often the hold meetings when we can ask them questions, but really? How much can we trust what they say?
The only really direct way to contact them is via the request box as I mentioned. You can also put suggestions into the box for them to consider, but I would be even more careful about the wording of any suggestion placed in there because not only might it affect you, but others as well. We have gotten several new and deadly floors as a result of people's suggestions. Some match the suggestions pretty well--like the gymnasium--but others do not.
