Characters: Zero and anyone and everyone
Setting: His room (204), floors 3, 6, and 10, if you want any floors under 10 I didn't specify, I'm game, too.
Format: Prose to start, then I'll match commentors'.
Summary: Zero is new as well and wandering about!
Warnings: None for now I suppose.
Zero had woken up in a bed he didn't recognize. He naturally thought maybe his friends had dragged him to a hotel after he fell asleep walking again, and he thought that they could have chosen something much fancier than this, even on their limited budget. Then he thought where the heck were his friends even? And why had they put a collar on him? If this was a prank it was so far a really stupid one. Maybe the collar exploded and covered him in ink or sparkles or both if he tried to wrench it off, so he wisely let it be and started to go looking for them. Maybe he should have read those letters or gone and had some of that oatmeal or something--oh well, he was a busy man, here, he had no time for letters.
It soon became clear that where they were staying was definitely weird. He kept sniffing the air and walls and sometimes floor and it all definitely smelled weird, the sort of weird that made the fur on his tail do that floofy thing that was kind of embarrassing. But he continued on his way, padding through hallways and up stairs, calling out his friends names over and over, throwing out threats and tantrums if they didn't show up soon.
He idled for a bit on a floor that appeared to be an impressive library, trying to see what sort of caliber of romantic fiction they had available and getting sucked into the first chapter of one before remembering, oh right, need to find my jerk friends.
By the time he was on floor 6 he knew he was definitely in a very, very weird place. A floor with seemingly no end filled with a forest wasn't that normal, even by his world's standards. Not unheard of, but definitely not something you'd find in a hotel. He thought it was a possible place for his stupid friends to be hiding in, but he continued on up for a spell until he hit floor 10 and was boggled by the walls of water around him. He played around in there for awhile, getting a bit wet, before heading back down to floor 6 to explore the forest, the scent of animals and wrongness lingering even there, but no sign of his friends yet . . .

[And for a moment Yori's eye shifts its attention away from zero and onto the incoming shape. He hadn't tested whether he could still read animal minds here, but he figured that if he could still hear everyone's thoughts...well, why not? Not that animals really had "thoughts" so much as a series of images and feelings.]
no subject
I feel like we should probably run away, but I'm really, really curious to find out what it's gonna do here.
no subject
Urm, there's that thing about curiosity killing the cat and all. And I'm not sure if I want to die getting eaten by a giant whale...
no subject
I thought big whales at things like little water bugs, though. . . . Right? Man, Faux'd know . . . [Now he's just trying to remember if this fact is right or not instead of running away.]
no subject
Well, plankton isn't just bugs, they include things like algae and bacteria...
[Forgetting about the incoming whale, yup.]
no subject
Yeah! And they have that really gross thing in their mouths that filter it all?
no subject
[TOTALLY FORGETTING ABOUT THAT WHALE, YUP.]
no subject
[The whale may not want to eat them but it does seem pretty intent on running them down. He cut himself off with a scream when he notices the how really close the whale is now and he reaches out to grab Yori and pull him along as he runs as fast as he could to escape the whale that is soon arcing out of the water, as if jumping from one watery wall to the other.
Zero pretty much screams the entire time.]
no subject
...Huh.
But that's okay since they're both safe!]
no subject
Wow, what was his deal? I wonder if that yellow fish tattled on us.
no subject
[The yellow fish totally tattled on them, man.]
