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!

[ Thankfully, she's not too bad at interpreting things like that. ]

I would not want you to be harmed, so how about we forget this topic altogether?

[animusnpcs]

Okay! We can talk about something else. [He nods.]

[immortalia]

Let me see... What do you like to do beyond working here, Zo?

[animusnpcs]

I like playing, but usually everybody's too busy for that.

[immortalia]

Playing...? What sort of games do you enjoy playing? Maybe I can play something with you.

[animusnpcs]

I like blocks and toy cars and bears and word games!

[immortalia]

Blocks, toy cars, bears and word games...

[ Sertoria taps her cheek before producing a piece of paper and a pen. ]

Perhaps you would like to play a word guessing game? We can both take turns here.
