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]

[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-

[lightofhumanity]

Now, even I cannot hide that quickly normally. At least count down from ten.

[scentofmakai]

Alright, alright. Ten...

[lightofhumanity]

Thank you.

[With that, chaos would grab a middle-sized container, one he would be able to fit in with some squeezing, and take off. Now, all he had to do was find a room that was filled with treasures and hide the case amongst them. Or, better yet, switch up.]

[scentofmakai]

-nineeighttsevensixfiveforthreetwoone!

[Changing tempo is cheating, Zett.]

[lightofhumanity]

[It was cheating. It was also something that he had not heard in awhile, and, as a result, it made him laugh. Not just chuckle. Actually laugh for a moment. However, he tried to stifle it as he dropped the box in the middle of the hall way and ran into the nearest empty room on the right. He hid in the first corner on the left, where Zett wouldn't be able to see him unless he came into the room.]

[scentofmakai]

[Zett knew chaos couldn't be far, and so he was going to examine every room- meaning that he came into the room chaos was in soon enough.]

Sup.

[lightofhumanity]

[Well, chaos had figured that he would be found like this sooner or later.]

Hello. That was a good tactic..however, I suppose that means it is my turn to count.

[Whether he would actually count to ten was another matter.]

[scentofmakai]

Yep. Start counting.

[lightofhumanity]

Alright then. Good luck hiding.

[So, as before, chaos closed his eyes and started to count to ten..slowly. He had a plan going on here, but it did count on him being a bit slower than usual.]

[scentofmakai]

[Indeed, this time Zett is opting to check out a further away room.]

[lightofhumanity]

[When Zett was far enough away, chaos smiled to himself.]

Five. Ready or not, I shall come.

[And chaos walked out of the room and started walking down the hallway. Zett had better hide.]

[scentofmakai]

[Yipes! Zett hides in the closest room to him.]

[lightofhumanity]

[chaos didn't have to use his powers to hear that ruckus. Quietly, he walked into the room Zett had hidden himself in. Unless there was some furniture that Zett had used to hide himself, the jig was up.]

[scentofmakai]

[Yep. Definitely caught trying to hide in a corner.]
