Setting: room 1-10, cafeteria, cathedral, floor 63, floor 12
Format: Starting action but I can match
Summary: Usual newbie stuff

Room 1-10

[After reading the letters set by his bed in confusion, Judas sits up to look around the room. It looks like the other beds are occupied, and the trunk at the foot of his bed is clearly meant for him. He opens it, rifling through to find wine, bread and a familiar suit and set of robes. Definitely a good idea to change. It's hot, his robes would be lighter, although they might be a bit conspicuous in public, and he doesn't want to draw attention. In the end the heat wins out and he changes quickly to leave the room. But first, he has to check if he knows these other people, if anyone from his world was saved. Of course, that means standing over the other beds to scrutinise those sleeping in them.]


Cafeteria

[He knows he should eat the oatmeal, before he forgets, but he really doesn't feel like it. So with a book from the library in front of him, he pokes at the mess in the bowl. Wasting it would be wrong, but if he's not hungry, forcing himself to eat it is also a waste. Maybe he should just give it to someone else?]


Cathedral

[After hearing the faint mumbling of some sort of mass while passing by earlier, Judas returns to the cathedral floor, this time with wine and bread. He saw no one and nothing there, so at the least he could go to listen, and hold his own private communion. He kneels at the altar and bows his head in prayer. For the safety of the world he's left.]


Floor Sixty-Three

[Fishing is a thing Judas likes and would be glad to do. Suddenly falling into a vast expanse of water with fish he doesn't even recognise and is very worried may eat him is not. He struggles against the tide, but his waterlogged robes pull him down, and all he can do is call for help, though he's not so sure anyone will hear him, or care.]


Floor Twelve

[Judas stops dead when he reaches this floor. He wants to believe what seems to be happening all around him is a camera trick, or an animation, maybe something from a movie. But as he watches, it keeps happening, with clearly different worlds each time. If it's a trick, it's terribly elaborate, and as the truth begins to dawn on him, all he can do is weep. Not only the demise of his own world, but so many more. All those people, all their efforts, destroyed in an instant, is too much for him to bear. Especially in knowing somehow he was saved.]

Comments

[heavenscorpse]

My name's V/V. What's yours?

[thirtybits]

...Judas, nice to meet you, V/V.

[heavenscorpse]

[Guess who has zero Biblical knowledge: this angel.]

Are you new, Judas?

[thirtybits]

[Good.]

Yes, I just got here this morning.

[heavenscorpse]

I'll help you out, and give you a tour. You should go to the cafeteria first, have you?

[thirtybits]

I have, you don't need to do that, I'll be fine.

[heavenscorpse]

I don't have a better thing to do than to help people.

[thirtybits]

Then I'm sure there's someone else who could use your help more.

[heavenscorpse]

No, I think it's you.

[thirtybits]

What, no, why? I'm fine, someone else must be really lost!

[heavenscorpse]

But I found you first.

[thirtybits]

Yes, but you shouldn't just take whatever you come across first!

[heavenscorpse]

I'm not taking you. I'm helping you.

[thirtybits]

There are plenty of people here, you could help any number of them!

[heavenscorpse]

I'm very stubborn, you might as well not argue, Judas.

[thirtybits]

[His shoulders droop as he sighs, giving a small nod.]

Alright, it looks like it.

[heavenscorpse]

That's much more like it. I'll give you a tour of the tower.

[thirtybits]

If you're sure, then...alright, thank you.

[heavenscorpse]

You're welcome. This way, please.

[She leads him upstairs to the next floor.]

[thirtybits]

[Judas shuffles along behind, eyes set on the floor in front of him. Just give in to the nice lady's help and everything will be better. Maybe.]

[heavenscorpse]

[Floor fourteen is the media room.]

This room is pretty safe. You can watch movies or play games here. Sometimes the televisions will turn on by themselves but that's harmless.

[thirtybits]

[He perks up a little seeing the electronics - a distinct lack of computers, but he hadn't really expected to see those, or for them to have internet.]

What sort of movies and games do they have?

[heavenscorpse]

They've got action movies and romance movies and lots of different kinds. Same for games - the ones where you have to run around really fast and beat people up, and the ones where you walk around town and plant flowers, and other kinds.

[thirtybits]

Walking around town planting flowers sounds nice...

[Although he might prefer to do that in reality than in a video game. He'll have to take a good look around at what they have.]

[heavenscorpse]

I've played a little of it. I spend a lot of time here and in the music room.
