Characters: Judas and open
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.]

More like the husk of a destroyed world. Some would call it hell.

But if they're dead, they couldn't return to the living world. Or is it that you consider them dead now they've left?

...One of them is dead. One of them isn't. I want both of them to find peace.

I see...then the one who died, could they not be in Heaven?

I dunno if people in my world go to the Christian heaven. Would be nice if she did get there. Somehow.

Well, in my world it's not divided, Heaven is Heaven no matter the deceased's religion. I'm not Christian either, but it's still the same.

That's good to know. Then I'm gonna take a gamble and says she's in heaven.

...Though she might get bored there.

Oh, it's not boring, it has internet.

...Wait, what?

You know, so you can watch movies and chat and things?

That's...quite a lot of human technology in the spirit world.

Well, Jesus and other holy beings took an interest in it, so...

...How did that happen?

[SO CONFUSING.]

I don't really know, I wasn't around at that time, but I assume someone took a trip down to Earth and discovered its value.

Heavenly beings can go down to Earth?

[He scratches his head. What sort of world did this guy come from?]

Yes, so can demons. They all go from time to time for a change of pace.

That's...uh...kinda nice.

What keeps them from making trouble?

The Holy beings wouldn't cause any trouble, it's directly against their nature. And the demons...any I've met are fairly harmless around Earth, they have Hell for that.

Oh.

I'm guessing you're a hero of some kind? If you know both Saints and Devils so closely.

...N-no...just the opposite...

A...monster then?

[Funny, doesn't look very monstrous.]

What, no! Or, well, maybe figuratively speaking... If you don't know much about Christianity it might not mean anything to you...

So...not a hero, not a monster. You're saying you're just a normal guy?

[Almost like something Diarmuid would say.]

Yes, mostly. I was a follower of Christ when he was alive.

[He nods.]

So...what was he like, really? From what I've heard from Christians, he's a little stuffy, isn't he?
