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.]

Comments

[scentofmakai]

Another sip. "I've never made come-ons on someone who wasn't interested."

[true_noir]

"Mmmm," she didn't quite sip immediately. "I wonder how uninterested you are... but still, there were a few who definitely weren't there. You've got me on that one." A reluctant sip.

"But I've never hurt someone to warn them to stop flirting." Though, the smile on her face said she was just hitting below the belt to get another sip out of him.

[scentofmakai]

"I shocked you because you dared me to do the first thing that came to my mind," he reminded her. "...But I guess that was the intent." Sip.

"I've never flashed anyone in the non-electrical sense."

[true_noir]

Another giggle. She shook her head. "You might be surprised... but that's one thing I've never done on the island," she said, wiggling the flask around. "I've never seen a ... what did you call it? A penis chariot?" She still found that one more than a little unbelievable.

You might almost say she was risking not being right to call him on the bluff.

[scentofmakai]

He took a sip without hesitation. "Actually, Mara's in the tower as someone's summoned demon. You might run into him."

Zett thought a moment. "I've never... kissed anyone who wasn't you."

[true_noir]

Oh, she'd say that was just downright underhanded at this point, but she couldn't fault him. Another sip, and she started gauging his eyes, curious to see if he was still paying quite as clear attention. If she could pretend to sip, she would.

"If we're doing that... I've never agreed to a drinking game with someone on Atia," she said, winking.

Admittedly, that's because most of them knew better. She had a habit of spiking the drinks after the first time Atia did it to her.

[scentofmakai]

He was a little fuzzy, but not that fuzzy.

"I've never agreed to a drinking game with someone on Atia either." He stuck his tongue out at her. "I've never jumped in a pit trap intentionally."

[true_noir]

She chuckled, having been forced to take that sip, and the one after. "You know, I had to slide in very carefully, not jump," she chided him. "But I've never kissed someone I wasn't attracted to at the time."

Oooh, now there was a rub. Did he sip and say he wasn't, or did he admit to finding the creepy girl attractive at all?

[scentofmakai]

Obviously he found it difficult as well. He initially reached for the flask, then pulled his hand away, then reached for it again.

"I kissed you because you dared me," he reminded her. "Can I take half a sip?"

[true_noir]

"mmm, so demanding," she said softly. "Only if you give me another kiss." No, she wasn't going to fight fair over this one.

[scentofmakai]

"So demanding," he echoed, setting down the flask. He leaned in, aiming for what was intended to be a soft and chaste kiss.

[true_noir]

He would not get away with that nearly so easily as he might have liked. She let him set it down carefully, but the way that her hand brushed at his cheek and jawline, one finger gently grazing his ear, it applied a very small pressure. If he pulled, she'd let him pull away, but if he didn't try, he'd find it lingering a little longer than he had planned.

Was her tongue trying to brush at his lips?

[scentofmakai]

He kept his mouth shut, but he let the kiss linger as she wanted it to. His ears were sensitive and her touch sent shivers through him, ones that she might be able to notice.

[true_noir]

It made her remember Parsee a little, something that caused her cheeks to flush some. Turning her head a little, she pulled as much as she could at his lower lip while her fingers ran just along the edge of his ear, over the back. Eventually, she pulled back and smiled. "Yes. A half sip is fine," she whispered, not moving her fingers from his ear just quite yet.

[scentofmakai]

He blushed a little more, but managed to pick up the flask and take a tiny half-sip. "I've never messed with someone else's ears."

[true_noir]

"You aren't the first," she said, taking another sip and grinning down at him. There was considerably less slosh in the flask at this point though there was still some left. She leaned in to nibble at it if he didn't stop her. "And I've never had mine nibbled on..."

Oh, that was so cheating.

[scentofmakai]

Zett took another sip, nearly dropping the flask in the process. "I-I think we'd better stop soon."

[true_noir]

"There isn't much left," she whispered, helping him hold it while her fingers curled up to the top. "You wouldn't want to quit so close to the end, would you?"

Nip.

[scentofmakai]

Shiver. "I've never been born the conventional way."

[true_noir]

As she took another sip, she guessed that there was about a shot left in the flask. Three shots worth was enough that she felt buzzed, pleased, and a bit bolder. She nipped again, a little higher along his ear, and when she offered him the flask, the words were whispered very softly into his ear. "I've never hidden in a basket for hide and go seek."

[scentofmakai]

Zett took another sip. "I've never found electricity to be sexually stimulating." He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

[true_noir]

Sip. Just one left. She swished it around and smiled at him, leaning, her fingers running along his ear while she let her lips linger almost at kissing range. "I haven't ever asked to stop a drinking game three sips from the end," she whispered softly, putting it up to his lips and grinning.

[scentofmakai]

Zett took his last sip and set the flask down on the ground. "N...now what do you want to do?"

He doesn't think it involves taking a step back.

[true_noir]

"I heard about another game," she whispered, glancing to the side to the empty sarcophagus leaning against the wall. It wasn't the one that the mummy had come from. Her eyes twinkled and both hands reached for an ear apiece, her lips less than an inch from his as she purred.

"Ever heard of 'seven minutes in heaven?' We just need a dark, lonely place where no ... monsters will interrupt."

[scentofmakai]

"Is this a kissing game?" he asked flatly. "And I don't even like heaven. They're jerks there."
