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.]

[lightofhumanity]

There you are. Now, will you perform any more small tricks like that?

[He's still smiling Zett, so don't worry. chaos isn't mad.]

[scentofmakai]

If you keep tricking back I will.

[lightofhumanity]

I shall not play tricks on you if you do not play tricks on me.

[scentofmakai]

Are you sure you won't?

[lightofhumanity]

I am sure.

[scentofmakai]

Alright, deal then.

[lightofhumanity]

Good. Now that we have that settled, I believe it is your turn to count.

[scentofmakai]

To a hundred?

[lightofhumanity]

Of course.

[scentofmakai]

One, two, three...

[lightofhumanity]

[And with that, chaos would dash out of the room and down the hallway. Hopefully the container he had picked up was where he had left it. If not, some extra time would be used up.]

[scentofmakai]

...ninety-eight, a hundred!

[Time to search now that he's done.]

[lightofhumanity]

[Thankfully, while Zett had been counting, chaos had managed to find his box and had taken it to the back of a cluttered treasure room. In it he sat and quietly waited.]

[scentofmakai]

[When Zett found said treasure room, he sighed.] This is gonna take forever.

[lightofhumanity]

[chaos wouldn't respond or do anything but lie in the chest and wait for Zett to find him.]

[scentofmakai]

[Kicking chest... kicking box...

Oh, this one feels heavy.] That one you?

[lightofhumanity]

[chaos felt the kicking, but he wouldn't respond. After all, if he made any noise, he would just be outing himself. It was something he had observed a bit in the past.]

[scentofmakai]

[Too bad Zett was suspicious enough to actually open that one.]

[lightofhumanity]

[Well, it looked like he was caught. Oh well. With a smile, chaos sat up.]

Good job. I shall have to pile more crates on top of me next time.

[scentofmakai]

You were pretty close to getting away with it, too [if it weren't for those meddling kids.]

[lightofhumanity]

[And their darn demon.]

I imagine so. If you hadn't kicked, I might have escaped.

[As he spoke, chaos pulled himself out of the crate and re-adjusted his gloves.]

Now..1..2..3..

[scentofmakai]

[Time to run somewhere else!]

[lightofhumanity]

[As chaos counted, he watched Zett scurry off and hide, wondering what he was going to try. Thankfully for the little demon, it took awhile to count to a hundred. He had some time.]

[scentofmakai]

[There was a place where you could climb up to get over some of the headboards... perfect. He could be made out if you looked up, but who looked up?]

[lightofhumanity]

[People like chaos who had played deadly games of hide-and-seek and helped others hide when they were in trouble.]

..a hundred. Ready or not, I shall come.

[With that, chaos stepped out into the hallway and looked around before looking at the walls, just in case Zett had managed to climb up them.]
