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.]

[Eventually, Zett's grip on the doll will loosen and, after a final slam into the wall, Enoch can get himself and the doll free.]

Nonononono give her back! [Though Zett is quick to try to scramble for it again.]

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch falls with the doll, clutching it close as he pulls it free and grunting as he hits the ground with it. His first instinct is to roll away with it clutched to his chest, and his hand goes back for his Arch the moment he gets to his knees, sprinting away to try to open it one-handed, with some flicks of his wrist and some quick hand adjustment, before Zett can catch him.*

[belzebul]

[Zett flings himself headlong after him, mindless of whether or not he runs into an Arch in the process. He has to get her back, he can't trust anyone else with her...!

Whether or not he injures himself with a holy weapon chasing after him, he'll be sending a bolt of lightning towards his back.]

[warriorscribe]

*Sorry, Zett. He's going to skid for a sharp turn to avoid you, meaning the bolt of lightning misses too.

He drops the doll and skids to turn for it, lunging with all his weight behind his Arch to bring it down on it. Unless Zett gets there first.*

[scentofmakai]

[The doll smashes into a million pieces.

Zett skids to a stop, turning back into his normal form. He doesn't say anything, just stares at the pieces.]

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch stands, catching his breath. The Arch rests at his side, not raised, but not closed.*

Zett?

[scentofmakai]

[Zett looks up towards him for just a moment before bolting towards the nearest open door.]

[warriorscribe]

Zett? Zett, wait!

*Enoch runs after him, storing his Arch as he goes. But if Zett is fast enough, he'll probably lose Enoch at a fork.*

[scentofmakai]

[Which... he does.

Sorry, uncle. He doesn't know how to deal with shame over attacking the people he cares about.]

[warriorscribe]

*Sigh. Oh, Zett... Enoch will just find his way out of the maze, hoping he runs into the demon boy on the way.*
