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.]

No need for congratulations.

You must know the names or faces of most people here, right? Do you think you could tell me if anyone sounds familiar?

I can try my best. You could also look through the nameplates on the dormitories, that should cover everyone currently here.

Ah, then I'll do that too, thank you! I'll only ask a few of you, then. Peter or Andrew? They're both tall, with beards?

[He needs to get back to his handlers, after all!]

I'm sorry, I haven't seen them.

That's what I thought...

[Well, if he doesn't recognise Judas's name, it can't hurt to ask for another distinct one, right?]

And Jesus, I don't imagine there's anyone by that name either?

No, I don't think so.

Then, last one - Lucifer?

[So as to avoid him.

Just not the Lucifer you're thinking of, Aleph.]

Yes.

[Aleph sighs a little.] We had the Lucifer from my world, but he's gone now... So there's only Lucifel, from another world, before he Falls.

...Wait, seriously? Before he falls?!

[He can't even imagine a Lucifer before the Fall. Especially not his Lucifer, if there are other different ones.]

Yeah. It's hard for me to imagine either and I've spoken to him. I'd rather have my Lucifer back.

...You want him around? Either you're insane or yours is very different.

Well, if you put it in perspective of my God who almost wiped out all of humanity because they weren't serving Him well enough... yeah, I'm pretty good friends with the Lucifer I know.

...That's awful. Even more than an unfallen Lucifer, I can't imagine a tyrant God...

So you're lucky. Don't think too hard about it.

[He leans in, lowering his voice.]

Well, I think my Lucifer might have a secret identity as a stripper.

[Staring for a second... and the absolutely cracking up so much that he's struggling to catch his breath.]

He has something against shirts, and always wears those little bowtie collars, so...

I-I can't picture my Lucifer like that at all... [Wheeze.]

How do you know he doesn't do it when you're not looking.

Stop, stop, you're killing me-!

[pfahahahahahaha]

[Judas made a funny!!! Andrew and Peter would be so proud.]

Some things are a constant, no matter the universe, right? So, what if that's the common link between all Lucifers - even this unfallen one...

Pff... I won't be able to hold a conversation with him now, thanks.

I'm glad to help. You should keep an eye out to see if it's true.

What will I do if it is?
