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.

A - Floor 1: Waiting for an elevator?
Wait is that one of the chipped units?
Not too many moments later and he's aware suddenly that he has already been staring between the two of them for too long. Sephiroth turns his head away pointedly to the floor and drags his gaze over towards the for-now closed elevator doors again. Practically boring a hole impatiently into the already pressed call button with his eyes.
The soup has gone some way to taking the chill off but still Sephiroth rubs at each of his upper arms in turn while he waits; that blasted cold is creeping into his extremities again. Damn this week of being stripped of his power, it was just like in that prison cell a couple of months ago except much colder.
Sephiroth steps forwards and presses the call button again before ending up looking over at Zett and his chipped unit once more. What are people thinking, treating these things like their pets now...decorating them, probably naming them. How pathetic, yet how typical for most of the types of people the Tower houses.]
Was that really necessary?
[He can't resist to comment. Sephiroth's own chipped supervisor is no where to be seen right now, he 'got lost' on one of the stairwells in the 1st Block as Sephiroth doubled back on himself in order to lose the attention. Being supervised at all is annoying, being supervised when eating -when Sephiroth doesn't usually need to eat- is just downright irritating.
The admins would surely catch on that he's powerless, if they didn't already know.]
no subject
[Zett doesn't know much about Sephiroth except that he's on the heroes list. Still, he's hardly intimidated by intense staring.]
You might've noticed that it's cold lately, and I can't wear two hats at once. I figured that this was better than letting it go to waste.
no subject
[He hasn't yet spoken to anyone that has named their unit, it was simply a natural progression of logic. Neither does he know much about the heroes list, other than a disregarded note that had been left in his mailbox a while ago.
What an absurd notion naming heroes, as if it would change anything.]
no subject
[It's a silly notion, but it's what Zett considers his job now, helping Romeo work on it. He's not going to be stopped.]
no subject
I guess I must be psychic.
[It should have been a joke, but considering Sephiroth in general -not to mention his deadpan tone- it's really note much of one.]
no subject
[Zett isn't as impatient as Sephiroth is. It'll get here when it gets here, and no huffing will make it come faster]
Your name's Sephiroth, right?
no subject
[He is psychic, to a certain extent after all. Only he's seen immature behavior like this a thousand times over in a million different faces. The same way a child names it's doll, dresses it up and treats it just as a part of their lives.
Sephiroth turns his head down and to the side towards Zett at his question. Lightly gleaming green eyes just visible through thick eyelashes.]
That's right.
no subject
[Zett shrugs at that.] Anyway, I don't have my sketchbook on me.
no subject
It takes a few minutes but Sephiroth eventually clicks. He searches Zett's face in the meantime but then it comes to him. That note in his mailbox a while ago. The one he had pointedly ignored as simply another kid's waste of time, on account of the spelling.
But who would-]
Who would have thought.
[Someone in the Tower must appreciate him. Surprising, though more gratifying really. Ishtar, most likely, he figures. Then he hasn't seen her in a long time and they hardly parted on positive terms last time. Curious.]
no subject
[As an afterthought:] I've never been good at drawing hair, but I guess there's nothing I can do about that.
no subject
Seems pointless, if you ask me.
no subject
[Maybe not worth all this effort, but not pointless.]
no subject
After all, when the timer runs out, this book they are creating will wither away with the rest of the nano-film that makes up everything in this puppet show.
Thankfully the silence isn't drawn out for to long before the elevator finally arrives to the 1st Floor and Sephiroth steps towards the open door. He only tilts his head back in Zett's direction as an acknowledgment of their parting.]
See you.
