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.]

What's that one?

[lightofhumanity]

In my universe, when explorers found pyramids and removed the sarcophagus's within them, sometimes, bad things, such as death or illness would fall upon them. This was known as the mummies curse and could only be ended when said mummy was put back where it belonged.

In fiction, it is not uncommon to see the actual mummies rise up and try to kill those who disturb their graves.

[scentofmakai]

That sounds pretty unpleasant.

[lightofhumanity]

It is not looked upon as a nice story, which is why it is good that neither of us looked in the sarcophagus. I do not doubt that the Administrators know about the story, and they would probably take full advantage of it.

[scentofmakai]

Y'know, I've met some mummies back home... they're not as bad as that says.

[lightofhumanity]

Oh, I do not doubt that. There are many stories about mummies, both good and bad. I just do not put it past the Administrators to only look at the negative.

[scentofmakai]

Fair enough. They're not worried about spreading a bad reputation.

[lightofhumanity]

For better or worse, they are not..hopefully no one else tries to open it, or something terrible might happen.

[..But they were getting off track.]

..However, I do believe it is my turn to find you.

[scentofmakai]

Oh! Right. Start counting.

[lightofhumanity]

I will. Good luck.

[And with that, chaos would close his eyes and start to count.]

One, two, three..

[scentofmakai]

[Time to run off and find a good hiding spot!]

[lightofhumanity]

[It would be a little odd not relying on his ability to sense people, but a promise was a promise. chaos kept on counting, wondering where Zett would hide. There weren't many places in this tomb to hide..]

[scentofmakai]

[Pharaohs wanted their possessions stored with them, so they had boxes. Zett had hidden in one of the larger ones, after placing other to hide the first box.]

[lightofhumanity]

[chaos finished counting, opened his eyes, and started walking through the halls, searching for where Zett might have hidden. Eventually, he came to the treasure room, and smiled. There were quite a few boxes. All chaos had to do was pick through them. One by one, he searched through the ones on the opposite side of the room away from Zett.]

[scentofmakai]

[Too late to move. Zett was regretting this hiding spot already.]

[lightofhumanity]

[First thing to learn when you were trying to hide in a pyramid: do not hide in the nearest room to the one you were running in. Or, at the very least, try to drag one of the boxes away somewhere else.

chaos kept on searching through the boxes on the far side, and when he was finished, he came over to the ones on Zett's side.]

[scentofmakai]

[D: This sucked.]

[lightofhumanity]

[It took a little while to open up every box that Zett had used to cover himself and set them aside, but he eventually opened up the large box that the demon was stored in.]

Ah, there you are.

[scentofmakai]

Yeah, that wasn't that smart.

[lightofhumanity]

To be honest, it was not a bad idea to use the treasure room and the things in it. However, hiding so close to the place I hid might not have been the best idea.

[scentofmakai]

I'll think of something better next time.

[lightofhumanity]

I am sure you will. Practice does make perfect. However, for now, it is your turn to count.

[scentofmakai]

Up to a hundred?

[lightofhumanity]

[Okay, chaos couldn't help a small bit of teasing here.]

What other number would it be?

[scentofmakai]

Three. One, two-
