03 | come the archers of hell

[scentofmakai]

Characters: Zett and you!
Setting: Floor 95, floor 67, floor 62, floor 28, floor 11
Format: Starting actionspam, will change to match!
Summary: Zett is bored, and being annoying on various floors.
Warnings: None so far.

[Floor 95]
[Fighting monsters is great and all, but sometimes you want the satisfaction of defeating someone who can curse their loss.

With brightly colored balls.

Until someone appears to be pummeled by Zett's superior speed and stamina, Zett is just bouncing on one of the trampolines, mumbling to himself.] Bounce... bounce...

[Floor 67]
I don't get it. What's the point of a room that's too hot?

[After entering one of the sauna rooms and immediately busting back out again owww, Zett is just sitting on the floor in front of the lockers, looking confused.]

[Floor 62]
[Makai is fairly dry, which is why Zett has his boots in his hands and is dipping his feet into the ocean. It's a nice change from the pool he spends a lot of his time at, and he hasn't noticed any mermaids on this floor. Waterfalls are not worth it.

If he spots anyone who isn't merely passing by on the staircase, but actually staying on the floor, he'll call out to them.] Oiiii. Come over here, this water's great!

[Floor 28]
[Zett was never taught how to play an instrument. Like many people who do not know how to play instruments, he has an uncanny ability to gravitate to the ones that will sound the worst when he plays them. Today he's chosen the electric guitar.

Tell him to quit that racket?]

[Floor 11]
[In one of his winged forms, Zett can be found trying to get liftoff. As no flight works on this floor, his wings flap pathetically before he lands again.]

Come on, stupid things...

[He'll be at it for ages.]

Comments

[technologic]

Eh? But... [She pauses, before sighing quietly.] Okay, we'll both go.

[scentofmakai]

Ready? [He puts the guitar down and hops over.]

[technologic]

Yep, let's go. [And down to the library they go!]

[scentofmakai]

How've you been, teacher?

[technologic]

Hmm? I've been good, spending most of my time monster hunting or looking after my pets. What about you?

[scentofmakai]

I've been alright. Bored mostly. And my boss is gone, which... yeah, it sucks.

[technologic]

[April winces slightly.] Yeah, that does suck... I'm sorry.

[scentofmakai]

It's all right. He's strong, he can handle being in a world that's destroyed for a while.

[technologic]

So he'll be okay... But do you miss him?

[scentofmakai]

We weren't really close or anything. He's kind of weird and not all that nice.

[technologic]

But he was still your boss. Though you'll definitely be able to see him again once we get out of here.

[scentofmakai]

Technically, he's not the version of my boss that I know, so we probably won't meet again when we all go home.

[technologic]

Mmm, I see... [Though that was the one Aleph was friends with...

... This topic feels a bit awkward now, just gonna change it.] Ah, s-so, um, how has the metal manipulation been going?

[scentofmakai]

I'm getting better! [He perks up instantly.] Thank you, teacher.

[technologic]

That's great! But, what are you thanking me for?

[scentofmakai]

For teaching, duh. You should always thank your teachers even when you've graduated.

[technologic]

But I just gave you a starting point. There's no need to thank me for that.

[scentofmakai]

Isn't that what the best kind of teachers do, let you grow on your own?

[technologic]

I-I guess so... Wait, you thought I was a good teacher?

[scentofmakai]

Of course, you're an awesome teacher.

[technologic]

[Blink, blink.] ... But you haven't had any teachers before, right? So how can you tell that I'm a good one?

[scentofmakai]

Because you did what you set out to do.

[technologic]

[April is silent for a few moments as she glances down at the ground.] ... I-I'm not sure I'm as good as you say I am, b-but thank you.

[scentofmakai]

Hey, what's wrong?

[technologic]

... I-I'm still not really used to compliments, that's all.
