Summary: One little mage explores the wonderland of the Tower.
Warnings: Bad puns? None but will be updated if needed!

➤ DORMITORIES.
[To be honest, he wasn't sure whether to believe the piece of paper he held in his hands. The inability to move his body for some good time when he woke up was almost unnerving, and now he was being told the world was destroyed? Chrom must have failed big time, and he actually feels some light concern for the rest of the Shepherds. They were his friends after all.

And being lonely was something he didn't want.

Regardless, he's moving from sitting on the bed to checking what was brought with him, pleased to see he would indeed have his clothes. Not that it means he'll be changing into them! Nope, he only draws the dagger that was brought with to carry with him. The first hour or so of his stay will be spent traipsing through the dormitory levels, humming to himself.]

➤ FLOOR 48.
[Now here seemed to be a place that suited one of such morbid mindset. The mage strolls among the various tombstones, reading names that he hardly recognized. Weird, how come they got to be dead while they were all in this here tower? It really only added more the vague dissatisfaction he has regarding the answers he has received.

But at least he can admire the scenery for what it is, right?]

➤ FLOOR 1.
[And as everyone must do eventually, Henry arrives at the cafeteria and ready to receive his first meal. Really, oatmeal isn't that bad, food is food! Sure some of the other food looked good, and it might be fun to watch other people and maybe himself throw up everywhere, but that would be asking for more trouble than it was worth in the long run.

But he's still oddly curious to see what would happen if he didn't eat it first, or if others didn't. Maybe he'll be in for a treat anyway.]

➤ STAIRS EVERYWHERE.
[Beyond that, he can be found wandering along various flights of stairs and occasionally wanting to explore other floors of the Tower. He'll be wanting to collect as much information as he could first, just because he was fond of the macabre didn't mean he just ran into things recklessly. At least not often.

Hopefully someone will have convinced him to change into something other than the skintight outfit provided.]

It'd be fun, I reeeally wouldn't mind helping out! I'm a fighter too, I didn't bring any of my tomes down with me but I can help out with a hex or two.

[Please let him be a part of your cause.]

Very well. My name's Aleph, and this is Beelzebub. What's your name?

The name's Henry! I'm sure we'll be good friends, right Beelzebub? And if we're not, then you can go ahead and kill me and use me for your meal, nya ha!

Just try not to make it too painful, I don't like ouchies.

[If you can read bugs' faces, then Beelzebub is looking slightly weirded out at you now, Henry.]

That won't be necessary.

[He can't exactly read faces, but he can vaguely tell something is bothering the creature!

... He doesn't understand why.] Suit yourself, I'm just offering ways I can be useful, stuck in this place and all. Gotta make do with it.

Jumping to being eaten is going a little fast.

Is it? I don't think it's that out of the question, either you fight and help out or you're killed, like splat!

I'm not that kind of demon summoner.

Really? Then what exactly kind of demon summoner are you? It'd be a lot of fun and very useful to summon all kinds. [Like Beelzebub, that's a good pal to fight with right there!]

The kind who does't kill people or let them be eaten unless he has a good reason to. [Aleph's huffy.] And there's no good reason to kill someone temporarily in this tower, and there's no good reason to eat someone practically ever.

[... He has no idea why he's huffy.] Hm, I guess so. That doesn't make the killing any less fun, but if you say there's no good reason I guess I'll have to listen. I'm the new guy, after all.

Right... thanks.

[You're some kind of weirdo.]

[To which Henry would laugh and agree immediately, he's darn proud of it!]

So! Still want me to follow you around looking for food? 'Cause I'm getting kinda hungry myself.

Alright. Follow me.

[It's time to head down the stairs, searching for monsters.]

[And Henry follows right after like a good obedient puppy, chuckling a little to himself along the way. He'll have to rely on the guy for a little while it seems.]

[A few floors down, there is a Piranha Plant, attempting to eat anyone coming down the stairs. Aleph stops out of its reach.]

Want to do the honors?

Sure thing, just watch! I'll even set up a special word if I need help, let's use 'puppies' this time. [Hmm, he didn't have any of his tomes on him so he couldn't use those, but he did always have his hexes and of course, raw magical power. Plus a dagger. Simple enough.

So with a chuckle he starts gathering some of his raw magic for a curse to dry it up into it was a crisp.] Time to fry, little guy! SHA-BLAM!

[Aleph's just going to watch as that plant gets cursed. Long-range attacks are pretty good for this enemy, so he doesn't anticipate needing to step in.]

[And presto! Just as his little rhyme implied, the plant monster starts shriveling into a dry husk, soon enough it would be crispy. Henry almost seems to be giggling about it.]

Sorry, you're in our way and were gonna attack us anyway.

Good job. I'll get the next one we run across.

Great! I wanna see what kinds of tricks you and Beelzebub here can do, I bet it'd be really cool!

We're pretty powerful, but... [It's like having a weird fanboy.]

But~? [Henry just likes to recognize talent and strength where people have them!

... But yes he can be a fanboy.]

Is it that cool to watch people destroy monsters...?

I sure is! I mean, not everyone can do it, and there's plenty who are better at it in ways I can never dream of doing! Everyone does it differently.
