Characters: Zelgadis and you!
Setting: Room 1-6, or elsewhere in the dorms
Format: I'll reciprocate whichever
Summary: Zel wakes up
Warnings: Zelgagrumping
This wasn't what Zelgadis expected would happen when he woke up. In fact, even the waking up part was a jolt; he still has a spell about to be released in the back of his mind, and he remembers that he was falling, like he tripped over a rock or something, but it doesn't make any sense that he would suddenly be in a place like this.
For a few moments, he strains to move, or yell, or cast a spell, or anything, but nothing happens, as if there just wasn't a connection between his mind and his body. It occurs to him that maybe he did actually die in battle, and he stops flailing at his unresponsive limbs so he can instead try to think a little bit about what all of this means. It doesn't take long for him to notice that he can move again, though, and with the quiet repose of a man who has accepted his own death, he calmly sits up and looks around the room. It's quaint, really, if a bit melodramatically gloomy.
Then he finds the notes, and shortly afterwards, the collar around his neck, and his calm mood drops all the way as far down as the tower goes. He hastily flips through the contents of his trunk, the laughable representation of the world he was plucked from, and grabs his sword. The familiar weight of it sitting around his hips is just one more sensory input in this rapidly solidifying consciousness, and he storms into the hallway with a renewed energy. He's pretty tired of getting jerked around.
"What the hell is going on here?!"
He's not expecting magical answers to drop out of the walls, but shouting lets off a little bit of steam.

no subject
Being stubborn, she continues pressing the button until he mentions breaking it. With a groan, she gives the wall a half-hearted kick and turns around to face him.
Now that she doesn't have anything else to look at, she can't help but fixate on his...well, strange appearance. Catching herself staring, she quickly looks down, finding a spot on the floor to be fascinating, and continues staring at that even when she leans back against the wall.
"Ugh, this is so lame!"
no subject
After what seems like eight or nine eternities later, the elevator dings and the door slides open. He's relieved to see that it's empty, taking a moment to determine that it's not obviously trapped with anything, then steps inside to stare at the panel of buttons.
"...is that it?"
No, he hasn't decided which one to push yet.
no subject
"Seriously? This place is huge!" She moves closer to the panel and examines it, fingers hovering over the buttons.
"Well...first floor is the one we want, right?" Without giving him a chance to reply, she press the button and the elevator begins its slow descent.
no subject
"Do you realize how long we might be in here? Do you realize this could be a trap? Quit being so hasty!"
no subject
She is worrying a bit that she might have sprung a trap, but there's no way she'll admit it to this guy. But now as they're stuck in the elevator together, there's nothing else to do besides address the elephant in the room.
"So...what's with your skin?"
no subject
"I'm a chimera, comprised of human, stone golem, and brau demon parts." Ask a straight question, get a straight answer, but the tone of his voice makes it clear that his problem is more with the facts that he stated, rather than her asking him about it.
He inches into the corner of the elevator as far away from the nosy girl as possible, wishing it was possible to disappear through the wall.
