[Floor 14]
[Even if you don't know him, Zett doesn't mind coming up to you and asking:]

Hey, want to play a game with me?

[Unlike some other demons who have made suspicious offers, this one's actually completely innocent. It's good to have people around in the tower again.]

[Floor 81]
[Stargazing is one of Zett's hobbies. He seems to be invested in... making a star chart?

Yes, today, he's decided that they're going to name the tower world's stars if they don't know what other people have called them, and the first step to that is drawing every star down on paper. Don't mess up his drawing.]

[Floor 95]
[If you suddenly get a ball thrown at your back or face, Zett miiiiight be the culprit.]

[Dorms 3-18: locked to Enoch]
[Zett knocks politely on the door before speaking up.]

Uncle Enoch, are you in here?

[Enoch's only got one roommate, so if it's occupied, 50-50 chance... assuming Enoch's alive again.]

[Dorms 1-12: locked to Lucifel]
[This door, he knocks on and then enters without waiting.]

Lucifel, are you in here?

[Alive?]

[Dorms 1-02: locked to Romeo, Gamzee, and Veigar]
[At the end of the day, Zett returns to his room and flops down on his bed. It's good to see the tower full again of people rather than shadows.

No matter who's in the room with him, the conversation begins the same way:] So how've you been?

[Romeo was flopped on his bed, sheets of paper scattered around him. He grinned when he saw Zett] I'm okay Zett how are you?

[scentofmakai]

Alive and okay. Most important things. What's the paper for?

[myblueskies]

I'm writing a book. [He grinned] It's about rabbits.

[scentofmakai]

What about them?

[Lots of things can be said about rabbits.]

[myblueskies]

They are hero rabbits and they help all their friends.

[Allelujah heads over to the figure on the floor, looking down at the map.]

Making a star chart?

[scentofmakai]

Yeah, I figured if nobody else did it I would. Seems like it's something to do, and after you map the stars you get to name them.

You're still here. Hi.

[egotrigger]

That's true.

Yeah. I've just been... trying to lie low.

[scentofmakai]

I can't blame you. It's not much fun being in the public eye.

Floor 95

[papillonmagique]

[Annnnnd guess who is getting that ball thrown back at them.]

[scentofmakai]

[Well he'll have to throw another ball at you then.]

[papillonmagique]

[Nope, dodging this one and throwing another back at him. The ping of demon barely phases her by now.]

[scentofmakai]

[That one he can dodge too! Ball pit fights with angels: worth it.]

Floor 95

[sunflowerfairy]

[Yotsuba, of course, was pretty surprised when a ball managed to hit her in the back, so she quickly picked it up and spun around to see who threw it. If she was able to see Zett, she would lob it back at him. If he managed to hide in preparation for a sneak attack, she would approach the pit, looking as serious as a five-year-old could. She would try her best to be patient and throw the ball back at Zett when he did show up again.]

[scentofmakai]

[Only weak demons have to hide! So Zett does get hit by the returned ball, but that's okay because he's got another one to throw back at her.]

[sunflowerfairy]

[Having never been in a ball pit and being curious about this new person, Yotsuba hopped right into it, doing her best to stay upright as she took another ball and threw it at Zett.]

[scentofmakai]

[Ball war! Soon Zett as throwing two balls at a time.]

[warriorscribe]

*On the 18th, Zett would not have found him.

On the 19th, there's the sounds of someone moving clumsily within, fumbling with the door, and when it opens, he doesn't say anything to Zett. He only moves slowly back to his bed and collapses into it, leaving the door open in invitation.*

[scentofmakai]

[Zett takes that invitation as it is meant, and sits on the very edge of Enoch's bed.]

How are you feeling now?

[warriorscribe]

*The response is a noncommittal sound. Parts of him are still numb, he's just out of sleep paralysis.*

Are you all right?

*His words are slightly slurred - whether it's out of grogginess or his mouth being numb is hard to say.*

[scentofmakai]

Unlike certain people I'm talking to, they didn't hurt me as badly.

[Certain dumb people.]

[brbtalkingtogod]

[He's here, alive, lying on his bed, but in an unusual state of... yes, it could be considered depression.]

I'm here.

[scentofmakai]

[Zett sits on the corner of his bed.]

How are you feeling now?

[brbtalkingtogod]

[If the look on his face wasn't any indication, he wasn't feeling well. It's just been a day since he had gotten revived but...]

... I used to feel better.

[scentofmakai]

...They're still bringing you down, huh, uncle.
