and I need someone to talk to apart from you

Characters: Zo, open
Setting: floor 001
Format: brackets, party-style
Summary: Zo visits the residential levels of the Tower.
Warnings: none so far

[The elevator dings as its doors slide open--that's not an unusual occurrence, really, for a floor that not only houses one of the elevator stopping points but also the most reliable food sources. What's unusual, though, is the boy who steps out of it.

Zo enters the cafeteria, looking around as if he hasn't seen it in some time, which is true. He's followed by one retrieval unit. While she looks as blank as any retrieval unit, her collar is chipped and she wears glasses. In fact, she might be a bit familiar to some, though she will not respond (but there's something... Unusually alive about her, even so).

Though he's careful not to stray far from his bodyguard, he smiles at the floor in general.]

Um... Hi! Wow, it's been a while since I've been up here!

Not bad; Lookin' pretty tall for a two year old. When I was two I couldn't even walk in a straight line.

[He was 80% sure that was true.]

Do anything special for the big day? I mean, you're about the same age as this whole "mission," ain't ya?

[animusnpcs]

We don't really do anything for birthdays, I guess since the other administrators are so much older. Having cake would be fun, though... Maybe next year?

[morituramfides]

Next year, huh? Think we'll have enough time for it?

Sad to say, I don't really know how to throw a party, or I'd at least give you a late one.

[animusnpcs]

I guess I'm kind've hoping everything gets fixed by then...

[morituramfides]

Tch. That'd be something else.

[Yeeaaah, he's less than optimistic.]

Any chance of you lending us a hand again? We'd sure as hell appreciate it.

[animusnpcs]

If I can help I want to! I'm not sure what to do, though.

[morituramfides]

With Dax down and out, we could always use another guy on the inside when the assholes are in charge.

'Sides, if you're worried about them ragging on ya, you can always blame me.

[animusnpcs]

Most of them only do their jobs... Though Jason is scary, I think. But as long as you don't want me to hurt anyone I can try.
