This world is a false prison, created by the Fallen Angels

Characters: Enoch and anyone (one prompt closed to Zelda, one closed to Raphael)
Setting: Various places, backdated to June 2nd
Format: Whatever works for you!
Summary: Enoch goes to retrieve something from his sauna locker and then tries to do something else, that you wouldn't expect of a man who's just taken part in a rebellion plot.
Warnings: Nothing yet!

Elevator from D1 to F81

Enoch may be found here on the fifteen-minute elevator ride, still a bit agitated-looking. More than anything, he's still angry at Ruana. The only thing he can conclusively say she's done for them was the protection and...what must have been a glamour enhancement at Reno and Elena's wedding - and neither of them are in the tower anymore. If anyone wants to catch up with him for any reason here, he can be found.


Sauna (F77)(Closed to [personal profile] sageprincess)

So this is it. With everything back up, it's finally time to take a look at what Dax left them. There's no turning back now even if he wanted to. Does he doubt? Naturally. People have hurt because of this. But people will be hurt so much more if he does nothing. He's going to do whatever it takes.

The first thing he does is run or Arch Glide the flights from floor 81 to lose his stalker, and he makes his way to his sauna locker as quickly as he can. With the worker unit patrolling, he dismisses his armor as if he was simply going to get changed. But before he does anything even remotely useful, there's something he wants to check. He reaches in for the waterskin he'd made earlier and looks inside.

Water. He should have known Ruana wouldn't afford them even Riki's previous glamours. Oh well, he isn't complaining about a water store, and maybe it will become wine again eventually. He takes a mouthful of it to rehydrate him after that run, and then places it back in his locker. He pauses for a deep yawn, leaning on the locker wall for a moment. Dax has a mission for them, but...he's so tired... It's just enough pause for his fellow leader to find him before he does something stupid.


Infirmary(F2)(Closed to [personal profile] godheals)

He didn't think he'd seen Raphael in the chaos of yesterday, and after that conversation with Lucifel and for the first time seeing the angel at a loss for words, Enoch had to find the other angel here - normally he and Raphael's paths hadn't crossed very often in the tower. With the sterile steel of the infirmary too harsh for his tastes, he rarely ventured there outside of his collar checkups or to get some supply or another.

It isn't to say that he didn't care about his guide, but that he was content simply knowing he was doing well and doing a service for the tower. He had been, after all, a swan most of the time, high above or nowhere to be found. He had been, most of the time, a presence that was scarcely there, but known to be somewhere.

But after this, Enoch had to see how he was holding up. So he stepped out into the waiting room on his way up to the forest. "Raphael...?"


Forest(F6)

Enoch can be found cutting off bits of trees or cutting fallen branches down to size. It may seem a waste of time to those who know him, but he has, or so he hopes they will be taken - good intentions. If the beam of his Arch disappears, he moves away from the animal, sometimes even jumping onto the stairs to evade them. Eventually, he will leave with five little logs about six inches long and roughly the length of his finger in diameter.


Workshop(F15)

Part 1
And this is what he's doing with those logs - he has a book on woodcraft from the library and a...scalpel. Probably not the best whittling knife around, but he couldn't find one on this floor so he had to grab something. If he's not using that, he's very carefully using the Arch to cut off a larger piece, maneuvering it awkwardly with both hands on the middle of the weapon's structure for control. He's making good time with what seems an entirely frivolous project, at this point already having a vague humanoid head and shoulders cut out from one of the logs. He seems a lot less agitated, at this point. Relaxed, even.

If a monster shows up he'll drop what he's doing to kill it. A little help or a preemptive kill would be useful. But it's much more likely one will come upon him in peace.

In fact, it's only in peace that he murmurs to his creation (often while flexing a cramping hand), "If only I could shape your base, itself..."

Part 2
The dollmaking project goes surprisingly well. Until his lack of sleep catches up to him. There's a sharp hiss out of him and he drops the doll he's working on - there's no damage to his finger, but a fine crack has appeared on the right neck guard of his armor.

With a tired sigh, he gathers up the doll, a vague feminine shape carved down to the waist, though not yet perfected, and the other logs and stands up to go to bed before he sleeps to dark. He would be going to bed a little early, so all the more reason for someone to find him, if they need him.

..It is possible that he knows that humanity may become strong enough to pull out of the Recurrence. However, knowing him..he would view that as just probability rather than the cause of humanity's shining will.

[..That gets you a bit of a puzzled look, Enoch. Not much of one though.]

The Eternal Recurrence does not end the universe. It brings it back to the beginning, and it is not a permanent solution, but..it does lessen the destruction that Anima and the Gnosis bring about. It does not remove it completely though, and Wilhelm does ignore humanity's ability to choose.

..Humanity has made no progress towards stopping the destruction of the universe. The majority of them are unaware of the true state of the universe, in my current point of time. Wilhelm has not told anyone, and nor have I, in order to hide what I am. Most people would not believe me without some evidence of it anyway. I do what I can for the Gnosis..but it is hard to have people not fear death and not yearn for the past.

[Inwardly, chaos sighed.]

My apologies. Perhaps I am more tired than I thought. However..Wilhelm does not have any hope that people will be able to stop it. In his mind, I believe, he thinks that humanity will fail since he believe that they are like children and too frightened to do much about it. For him, it is better to repeat than have them fail.

However..I do agree with you. It would be much better if humanity could be allowed to progress and move forward, even if they stumble and falter. It would at least mean that a proper solution might be reached.

Unless humanity can break free of his Recurrence and search for a solution for themselves, yes. I do what I can to help, but it humanity, ultimately, who will decide everything. I, for one, have hope that they will eventually do so one day in my universe.
