04 | but really I'm not actually your friend

[scentofmakai]

Characters: Zett and you! Backdated somewhat to May 1st-4th.
Setting: Floors 92, 73, 99, then around the tower May 4th only.
Format: Starting actionspam, will change to match!
Summary: Zett has hide and seek to play. Then he finds a doll...
Warnings: None so far. Violence likely in the doll prompt. Chloe's thread gets creepy in sexual ways.

[Floor 92/Floor 73]
[If you're someone who's agreed to play hide and seek with Zett, on the agreed-upon day and time you'll find Zett tapping his foot impatiently near the stairway.] There you are!

[If you're not someone who's agreed to play, well, you might run into him waiting for his partner anyway. He'll explain what he's doing if asked.]

[Floor 99]
[Zett spends a lot of time in the caverns here. They remind him of his home in the Deep Hole, actually...

Visitors will find him just lying on his back staring up at the ceiling.]

[Around the Tower]
[It looks like Zett's giving a guide to the tower to someone, stopping at each floor on the stairway and explaining that floor's particular hazards to them. It's very thoughtful of him to do so.

Unfortunately, that 'someone' is a doll from the toy shop. Resembling a redheaded girl, it doesn't look exactly like the friend Zett left at home... But the doll's powers of suggestion are strong and he's now convinced that Mirai Kaname has entered the tower.

And he will lash out violently if anyone attempts to hurt her.]

[He dashes off. The place he decides upon this time is underneath a stairwell.

...he's a better seeker than a hider.]

[technologic]

[It's okay Zett, so is she. But she doesn't immediately notice that he's there when she walks past, though she does stop to think again right by where he's hiding, her back to him.]

[scentofmakai]

[Time to be as still as possible! Your pride depends on it, Zett!]

[technologic]

[And then she turns around to look some more. And spots a bit of green in the stairwell.] ...Zett?

[scentofmakai]

Fiddlesticks.

[technologic]

[April bursts into giggles at that.] Well, you might get me next time!

[scentofmakai]

[He crawls out of his hiding spot.] It took you a while this time, though.

[technologic]

Yeah, that's true. I certainly wasn't expecting you to hide under the stairs.

[scentofmakai]

Another round?

[technologic]

Sure, I'm up for another round!

[scentofmakai]

Alright. How many good hiding spots are in this castle anyway?

[technologic]

Umm... Not sure, probably a few. Either way, I guess that means we just have to get creative.

[scentofmakai]

Who's hiding next, you?

[technologic]

Yup. And I'll come up with a really good spot this time!

[scentofmakai]

Alright! Let's see, one, two, three...

[technologic]

[Right, this time she has to find a really good hiding spot!

Let's see, let's see... Well, the good thing about ruins is that the walls are kind of coming apart, so April uncovers a hole that was made by a bit of the wall coming loose and then hides in there, making sure to re-cover it. Of course it's pretty cramped, but it'll do.]

[scentofmakai]

[He passes right by her without thinking to check. Good job!]

[technologic]

[Not gonna sigh in relief yet, gotta wait until he leave the room completely.]

[scentofmakai]

[He's out now, lucky for you.]

[technologic]

[Wait, waaait for iiiitt... And she sighs quietly.

Though she'll hide in here a bit longer, before peeking out of her hidey-hole slightly.]

[scentofmakai]

[Judging by his voice in the other room, he's getting frustrated.]

[technologic]

[Snicker, snicker, snicker. Well, might as well... Luckily her voice carries, so she won't really be giving her spot away.]

You give up?

[scentofmakai]

I give up. You're good at this.

[technologic]

[Hehehe.]

Go back into the room you were just in. [Just gonna move herself out of her hidey-hole now.]

[scentofmakai]

[He does, and puts his hands on his hips.]

Seriously, you were that close?
