09 | the virtuous among us

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.]

[Sup Aleph, one curious redhead will just peeking over your shoulder at the flower chains you're making.]

What're you doing?

[Stepping into the cathedral, Judas notices Aleph, but thinks better of bothering him. He sits down at a pew near the centre of the church, silently staring at the altar.]

Oh yeah. You put one on my head when I was asleep, right? [Just gonna crouch down next to him to watch.]

[Choking, flustered sound, before she quickly glances away.] A-aha, I t-think you're getting Charlie and me m-mixed up there.

Whaddya doin'?

[Labrys leaned over Aleph with an interested expression, long silver-blue ponytail dangling not too far from his face.]

Nooope. Charlie was the cute one back then. [And cue her sitting next to him to pick some daises too.]

Anyway, what prompted the flower chains today?

Book-searching? What were you looking for?
technologic: (❦ Is burning to the ground)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-07-23 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
A... bible? [Blink, blink.] Why were you looking for that?

[She raised a hand to her mouth, looking overly impressed by something as simple as that.]

Woah...how'dja do that?

[She'll just be sitting right here with her robot legs and robot everything else.]

Can ya show me?
technologic: (❦ Who're waving goodbye)

[personal profile] technologic 2013-07-23 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oh, you wanted to find out why they got upset?

Wow-...wait, I ain't got fingernails.

I guess it's cause their Gods are usually these great loving, benevolent deities that the idea of him being s douche is really weird to him. Though I only know the basic basics about Him and Jesus and stuff.

[He looks up at Aleph, offering a bit of a smile.]

Sure. What can I do?
