01 | you can't break that which isn't yours

[scentofmakai]

Characters: Zett and you!
Setting: Floor 38, Floor 13, Floor 12, Floor 6
Format: Starting actionspam, will change to match!
Summary: Zett's not affected by the cold going around. He catches up on his reading in the lounge, ignores the sanctity of the church, does what he can with his favorite pasttime of watching the stars, and goes hunting.
Warnings: None so far?

[Floor 38]
[Zett has a book to read (it's about character analysis in anime - Setsuna and Mirai are Japanese, Setsuna and Mirai watch this kind of thing, therefore it must be interesting) and is lounging on one of the beanbags. He also has a box or two of tissues next to him, ganked from the infirmary, and if someone so much as sniffles-]

Gesundheit. [He throws the box towards them. It may hit them in the chest, or, if they're unlucky, the face.]

[Floor 13]
[In the church, passerby may find Zett stretched out on one of the pews. He's singing to himself, though it's not the hymn you'd expect in this setting.

...actually, it seems to be a rather dirty song about a pixie and an ogre that fell in love and their difficulties with the, ahem, consummation.]

[Floor 12]
[Or, perhaps they find Zett watching the projection here. This time, he'll greet anyone who enters the floor.]

The stars sure are pretty, aren't they?

[Floor 6]
[Time for dinner! Zett's not willing to live off of nutrition bars, so he hunts for food himself.

If you notice a deer or two being felled by sudden bursts of lightning through the trees, there's sure to be a green-haired boy scampering up to them before anyone else gets his meal. He pulls out a knife and starts skinning the animal then and there. There's no reason to go down to the cafeteria to eat, right?]

[Allelujah blinks in surprise, looking over at Hallelujah. Hallelujah seems likewise surprised.]

['Is he seriously talking to me?']

I think so... ah... he's not usually very sociable... he mostly just hangs around and is irritating when I'm trying to make difficult decisions.

['Irritating? Look who's talking. What the hell's gotten into you today?']

Being sick doesn't help. Nothing's wrong with me otherwise, though.

['Like hell it's not.']

Didn't I tell you to stop bothering me?

['I don't give a shit. And you're making yourself look even more crazy since he can't hear me.']

Rrgh...

[scentofmakai]

You shouldn't just shut him up like that. Split personalities like us tend to take offense.

[egotrigger]

He's... pretty dangerous. It's better for everyone that he doesn't come out very often.

[scentofmakai]

Sounds like my main personality. He's more just an asshole though.

[egotrigger]

Hallelujah is... he enjoys killing, and does it far too much.

['Hah. Battles are for killing.']

I know, Hallelujah...

[scentofmakai]

That's still 'asshole' if you're a demon.

[egotrigger]

Well, we're not demons. We're - I'm a person.

[If Hallelujah counts as one too... he's not sure.]

[scentofmakai]

Demons are people too.

[egotrigger]

... Human, then, I mean.

['As if you count as human anymore with all the modifications they did. Heh.']

... Stop that.

[scentofmakai]

What's he saying?

[egotrigger]

Just... annoying things.

[scentofmakai]

Liiiike?

[egotrigger]

... Like questioning our humanity and insisting that we're nothing more than a killing machine, all right?

[He growls slightly, and then blinks, surprised at himself.]

[scentofmakai]

Humans are always obsessed with that word, 'humanity'. Even if you're not human you can be a good person, and some of the worst people are fully human. Even if you don't know whether you're human or not - no reason why you can't make the most of it.

[egotrigger]

Yes, but... we're just supposed to be a soldier, and nothing more. I want to hope that there's more for us than that, and he insists there can't be.

[scentofmakai]

Then he's a dick.

[egotrigger]

I know.

[He's quiet for a few moments.]

I guess, to be fair, since he's what I refuse to do, it only makes sense...

[scentofmakai]

Your personalities work like that, huh?

'He' split me off intentionally.

[egotrigger]

It wasn't intentional... I think the trauma from the quantum brainwave surgery is what caused it. He first appeared shortly after that, I think. It's hard to tell, since I used to black out when he took over.

[scentofmakai]

What's quantum brainwave surgery?

[egotrigger]

It was a surgery to enhance various cells in my body so that I could use quantum brainwaves. It's a specific type of brainwave that allows you far quicker reaction times, in addition to some direct mind to mind communication with others who have been similarly enhanced. It also allows some sensing of danger before it happens.

[scentofmakai]

Okay.

[That makes perfect sense to him. Granted it's probably on the same level as magic.]

Guess that's not the point, though.

[egotrigger]

Mm. I don't remember much of anything from before that surgery. Apparently it was bad enough to split him off and wipe most of my memories.

[scentofmakai]

The guys who did that to you must have been even worse dicks than your other half.

[egotrigger]

... They were, yes.
