Floor 81

A look in his mailbox had Lucifel surprised. On the 24th November he had gotten mail from Yotsuba, along with a flower crown, a pair of white gloves, and a blue scarf. The gloves and scarf were crudely made but he could see how much effort she had put into this gift for him. On the next day he had gotten an anonymous gift. A pair of knit gloves and a scarf, both black. While he didn't know who they were from, they had been well-made...

It's the first time he was given gifts like that and he the first time he has been so torn.

Lucifel sat close at the windows where he had laid out both gifts in front of him. It was hard to decide on which one to wear.

Library, floor 3 (Judas, open)

Eventually Lucifel decided that he pondered on the choice of gifts for long enough. After all there were important things he had to tend to. He had wanted to speak to Judas about someone for a while, but doing so when the person he wanted to talk about with Judas was his room mate was a bit of a problem. So he had to wait for a good moment where he was alone. However, waiting for the right moment paid off, in the end he found Judas at the library.

The archangel approached the other male then and appeared in front of him. "Hey... there's something I'd like to ask you."

Floor Thirty-Two

It hasn't even been two weeks since the month had begun and Lucifel was fed up with the menu. Actually he had been fed up with it during the last Jason month already but he thought he could try to endure it. But he couldn't. His stomach went on strike. He'd rather go hunt than to eat another nutrition bar.

While he pondered on it a bit longer he decided that he would give it a try. but he would start with the basics first, just to try and see if he would get the hang of it. At the forest he had set up several snare traps, since he didn't need much to make them, he just had to make sure they were hidden well. Once they had all been set, Lucifel climbed up a tree, now all he had to do was to be patient.

It was a bit strange though... while he had done some 'human' things before he wouldn't have thought that he would ever go hunting.

Those wandering through this floor should watch out that they aren't accidentally ending up in one of his traps.

[Judas raises his head from staring at the books on the shelf, one hand on the spine of one, although he had been that way for several minutes, zoned out.]

Ah...yes...?

[brbtalkingtogod]

[Funny to see him zoned out like that. But he wasn't here to make fun of him.]

I'll get straight to the point... what can you tell be about your room mate Gilles?

[This is just one thing he wanted to talk about with Judas... If he was willing to talk with him that is.]

[thirtybits]

...Oh no...did he do something?

[brbtalkingtogod]

He didn't... but you sound worried.

[thirtybits]

Yes... He's...well, there's no good way to put it. He was a serial killer in life. And...mostly children. I only know what he told me, but apparently it was pretty gruesome.

He wants to repent, though! He's trying to be a good person now. I'm...trying to help.

[brbtalkingtogod]

I've heard as much before. And if he's trying as hard as you say... well. I'd still like to form my own opinion on him.

But say... you think he'll make it?

[thirtybits]

I don't know. He seems serious about it. So I hope so. I think he can.

Sadly, Yotsuba had no idea what a snare trap was or what hunting was. She only knew to be really careful in the Tower because of the monsters and the bad people. Other than that, she thought the Tower was mostly fine to explore, and since the forest seemed super awesome, she had decided to sprint through it, laughing..at least, until some weird thing caught her by the leg and pulled her up into the air. As she was yanked into the air, she screamed and did her best to try and pull the rope off, but she couldn't quite do it.

"Who did this?! What is this?! Are you a bad person?! Let Yotsuba go right now! I don't wanna die, so let me go!!"

..This..kind of reminded her of the time that lady with the looong white hair and the boy with short green hair caught her and killed her, which, of course, just made her even more frightened. She didn't wanna die again! It was super bad and painful and really, really scary!

[brbtalkingtogod]

For a moment he thought that his first time hunting was successful, until the screams of a too familiar little girl reached his ears. Well. Talk about one great failure. It was something he hadn't thought of happening.

Lucifel hurried to get down from the tree and towards Yotsuba, watching out that he wouldn't get caught in his own traps. "It's alright, Yotsuba has to calm down."

Once by her side he helped her out of the trap, making sure she wouldn't get hurt.

[sunflowerfairy]

The sudden appearance of Lucifel-a person that Yotsuba would always hold in the highest respect-managed to calm her down, and when he got her out of the trap, she..tried to cling to him. If successful, she would then try to climb up to his neck and give him a biig hug.

"Oh..thank you, Luci! What was that?! It was really scary! Who set it?! It had to be a bad person..but do you know?!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

Yeah, she would be more than successful with that, he had been holding her for a moment before she decided to climb up on him. Scaring her wasn't his intention, not at all.

"A snare trap. And... that wasn't a bad person who set them up. It was me." Oh goodness... now to explain to her why he set up traps.

[sunflowerfairy]

Well, that was an unexpected development, and Yotsuba's eyes went wide as she tried to think as to why he would set up super scary things like that. Luci wasn't a bad person that wanted to kill nice people, so..why?!

"Why, Luci?! Those things are super scary! I thought you were gonna kill me, like the girl with really looong hair did awhile ago! And the boy with green hair! Why did you set them up?!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

Just when he was about to come up with an explanation, she told him this. When had that happened? And had he known her when it did? One thing was sure, this would give Lucifel something to think about for a while.

"No, I'd never hurt Yotsuba. I set them up for a different reason. Yotsuba knows that there is just bad food this month because Jason is in charge? I wanted to organize something better."

*He was sure he'd find Lucifel here. It was his favorite floor after all. So, with a smile, he approached the archangel to sit beside him, wearing his cloak, and a few new things - a dark blue toque, a crudely-made red scarf, and an equally-crudely-made pair of black gloves.*

So she did match us.

[brbtalkingtogod]

She did. What are we a cou-

[He made the mistake to look at Enoch at that moment. Scribe, you must be kidding him or be attempting to kill him by eye cancer or a heart attack.]

The colors mismatch. Badly.

[warriorscribe]

*To his credit, he does take the hat off.*

It was cold outside. I wore what I had.

[brbtalkingtogod]

[It's a start... But he doubts that he can change that about Enoch.]

Alright, just. Let me fix this.

[warriorscribe]

Ah...all right...

*He's not going to object to more gifts of clothing from Lucifel. These jeans are like a second skin to him now.*

[brbtalkingtogod]

[He'll just have the colors actually match with a quick flick. However, he leaves the scarf and gloves as they are.]

Better.

[monstrueux]

Lucifel was not alone in his hunting. Stalking through the grass of the forest was what appeared to be a fluffy cat. Unaware of Lucifel's presence in the tree, Gilles nonetheless appeared to be aware of the traps, skirting them neatly.

He didn't care about the traps. What he was after was something else entirely. With a wiggle of his stump tail, he suddenly leapt up in the air, then came down hard with an ungraceful thump, his paws landing on a the mouse he'd been stalking, trapping it. His claws came out, piercing the creature's skin.

What a majestic hunter...

[brbtalkingtogod]

"Hmm..." A very majestic hunter, sure. He doubted that he has ever seen a cat like that before. It did surprise him that the cat hasn't gotten into one of his traps yet, not that he actually wanted to capture a cat, no way. he was aiming for rabbits and small birds like quails.

But he continued to watch it from his spot in the tree, waiting patiently for something to get trapped.

[monstrueux]

Gilles ripped the mouse open, but once it was dead, he lost interest in it. Instead of playing with it more, he moved toward one of the snares. He paused, staring at it, the stub of his tail twitching. His paw snaked out out, moved down--and then he set off the snare--but before it could close on him, he snatched his paw back and jumped away, reacting with his cat's reflexes. He stood staring at the sprung snare in satisfaction, as if this were a game.

[brbtalkingtogod]

Oh... oh this cat KNEW what it was doing, alright. And it was ruining his chances of getting something he could eat and have him consume the nutrition bars for longer. But he wouldn't let it do so.

Lucifel climbed down the tree and approached the cat slowly, avoiding all the traps he had set up.

[monstrueux]

When Gilles saw Lucifel descend, he stared at him. He hadn't realized anyone else was around while he was playing. As Lucifel started to approach him, Gilles, wide-eyed, began to back away.

[brbtalkingtogod]

The archangel took a few steps closer, frowning at the cat as he did. Who knew, maybe it would run away if he got close enough.

"It's not very smart to ruin another hunter's chances."
