Characters: Aleph and you!
Setting: Floor 3, Floor 13, Floor 19, Floor 25 (afterwards)
Format: Starting with actionspam, but will match you.
Summary: Aleph is in search of something in particular: a Bible. He has no success and eventually retires to the meadow.
Warnings: Will edit if anything comes up.
[Floor 3]
[The first place to look would of course be the library.
But, it seems that religion and history are intertwined, and the histories of the worlds aren't covered in this library. No matter how hard he searches, Aleph can't find a single religious tract or book of divine scripture.
He's basically going to check every section of the whole library before he gives up, though. It'll take him awhile and make him obviously noticeable.]
[Floor 13]
[Churches generally have religious books in them, don't they? To read from and all.
This one doesn't seem to. It's not a clearly Mesian or Christian church, and he doesn't know well enough to determine if it's anything else, but he thinks its pastors must be hard on their luck if they have to recite everything from memory.
Aleph will turn this floor inside out trying to search, including looking under pews.]
[Floor 19]
[Now, he's pretty sure that this research library doesn't have anything either, but just in case...
He'll go over this entire library section looking, though with less enthusiasm than the other floor's library.]
[Floor 25: afternoon]
[Well that was a waste. Still, it was something to do. And...
Aleph knew vaguely that other worlds had kinder Gods than his had. Different Gods. But he failed completely to understand why they got so upset about the prospect of a different god than theirs being killed. He only sort of knew why Lucifer got such a bad reputation, in the barest possible sense.
He'd been reading books for a year to improve his ability to read, and to not be bereft of all knowledge but how to fight. It seemed time to get around to some of these, if he could find any of them.
Failing that, picking daisies and making them into a flower chain was never a bad use of time.]

Woah...how'dja do that?
[She'll just be sitting right here with her robot legs and robot everything else.]
Can ya show me?

Sure, it looks trickier than it is. See, the way it works is you make a slit in the bottom of a stem with your fingernail, which you thread the stem of the next flower through... And you just keep doing that until you have enough flowers to loop back to the first one.
[He demonstrated by adding another daisy to his chain.]
