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.]

[alephbet]

The time limit's good for us... it may pressure our foe into making mistakes.

[immortalia]

If they go with any sort of human philosophy, they will make careless errors since they are pressed for time.

[alephbet]

Most people I know who aren't human physically are remarkably human in the mental sense. But that's just my world, perhaps.

[Demons, angels... each of them has a personality, desires and fears. It may very well be the same here.]

[immortalia]

[ A nod and then, a slight shake of her head. ]

I concur. It is funny how people work sometimes, hm? Although, it is not just your world.

[alephbet]

It is funny. I still don't really understand it myself.

[immortalia]

We are alike in that sense, too. Even though I have studied humanity for years, I still do not understand them myself.

[alephbet]

You're older than me, then. I'm only about a year and a half total.

[immortalia]

I would be ancient if you are only a year and a half old. I am 7,500 years old.

[alephbet]

You look good for your age?

[immortalia]

That is the silicone that makes up my appearance.

[ That doesn't explain anything, Sertoria. ]

[alephbet]

I don't really know how that stuff works...

[immortalia]

Would you like an explanation or no, Aleph? I would not mind either way.

[alephbet]

I'd like that.

[immortalia]

Very well. To start off, I am an android, built and designed to act like a human, but yet my focus has been primarily on fighting. My creators gave me a silicone case so that I could pass off as a human if I took off my visor and my headset. Handy, is it not?

[alephbet]

It is pretty handy.

[immortalia]

Though, I suppose that me telling you about how I was created would be awfully boring, so I will stop unless if you have any more questions.

[alephbet]

Oh, no, that's fine. Don't feel obligated to go on.
