towerofanimus | 09 | was never much but we made the most

Characters: Zett Takajo and you! Also starring a chipped unit.
Setting: Two wildcard prompts and floor 88.
Format: Actionspam, will switch to match.
Summary: Zett names the chipped unit tailing him, continues to stalk people for the hero book, and learns to play pool.
Warnings: None, will edit if any come up.

[A: Anywhere]
[It's hard to miss the chipped unit tailing Zett. For one thing, he's now wearing a hat in the same style as Zett's.

Zett's reasoning is simple - it's getting cold and he doesn't need two hats, he can't wear two at once. Thus his regained hat could be better used for someone else, and why not his chipped unit?

He's gotten attached to him, anyway.]

You don't mind if I call you Hibiki, right? I know theme naming is a little tacky, but I think it suits you.

[Hibiki is a name that means 'echo' or 'sound' and it suits Aria's little brother.

Zett can be found almost anywhere in the tower, and wherever he goes, Hibiki will be behind, still wearing that silly-looking hat Zett put on his head. Feel free to comment.]

[B: Anywhere]
[Was your name dropped for the heroes list? Congratulations! That means that Zett needs to communicate exactly what you look like for the book's illustrations to be any good, and for that, he needs a good sketch.

That's why Zett spends a lot of the day trying to find the people he's meant to draw, and after he finds one, he tries to tail them without raising too much suspicion so that he can draw them. It's hard to draw quickly and stay hidden at the same time, though, so it's not that hard to notice him after a while.]

[C: Floor 88]
[There's an increased lack of things to do when he is taking time for himself, so Zett's decided he's going to teach himself pool.

He's not very good at it, though. Those passing by the bar floor may hear his curses of frustration as he continues to flub at getting the balls where he wants to go.]

This looks so easy when other people do it.

[And here's one of said people, although she doesn't really know it. So when she picks up on that she's being followed, she eventually stops on the stairwell to the music floor and turns around with a deadpan expression.]

... What are you doing?

[It's someone Zett namedropped himself, which is why he's a little embarrassed to be caught. He hides the notepad behind his back.]

Nothing!

[Too late, she saw you hide something and now she's approaching, Zett. With a small grin as well since she can tell he's a bit embarrassed about whatever it is.]

It is a something... What is it~?

I don't have to tell you anything. [Backing up.]

[Nope, still walking closer.] You were the one following me. So I think I have a right to know why.

Maybe I want to keep it a secret.

... Should I be worried about a secret like that?

It's not a bad thing... Just embarrassing.

[That gets her to raise an eyebrow.] For you or for me?

Both. Probably both.

[Pause. Then she takes another step forward.] At least tell me what is behind your back.

It's just a sketchpad. You don't have to see it.

A sketchpad... [Blink, blink.] ... Were you drawing me?

Yes, I was. For the heroes book.

[So embarrassing.]

[So much eyebrow raising.] ... Ah yes, I have heard of that. But why do you need a sketch of me?

[Zoe is well aware that she isn't exactly hero material.]
