Warnings: None, will edit if anything comes up.

[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?

Comments

[papillonmagique]

Of course. But it won't exactly be effective when you're expecting it.

[scentofmakai]

Sometime later then.

[papillonmagique]

Of course. Though I'm surprised to see a demon not get all huffy when around my kind.

[scentofmakai]

There's no point to it here, if you don't attack first.

[papillonmagique]

I will not attack you unless you attack me, so I suppose there will be no fighting. [She gives a casual shrug.]

... I must admit, it's nice to meet a demon who will not try to call my face off.

[scentofmakai]

Then I guess you haven't met the right kind of demons.

[papillonmagique]

Well, I suppose it is a relief to know not all demons are like that. Must have been unlucky in the demons I met, then.

[scentofmakai]

That's alright. I've heard some bad things about demons from other worlds.

[papillonmagique]

Hmm... And I have heard that angels could be the same stuck-up asses in other worlds.

[And she'll just use this moment to pick up another ball and throw it at him.]

[scentofmakai]

[Return fire!]

Believe me, they can be worse than that.

[papillonmagique]

[Gonna keep throwing balls at him!]

... How much worse?

[scentofmakai]

Well, they wanted to wipe out humans and demons where I'm from.

[Lobs some back.]

[papillonmagique]

[Pause.]

... They wanted to what?

[scentofmakai]

Wipe out anybody who wasn't an angel, basically.

[papillonmagique]

But they were stopped, right?

[scentofmakai]

Well, considering the world was destroyed, I'd say either they were stopped or they got too much of what they wanted.

[papillonmagique]

I meant before the world was... destroyed. [Her voice hitches as she says 'destroyed', but she shakes it off.]

And why would angels want to do that? As far as I knew, they were content to sit and watch, only poking their noses in when they had to.

[scentofmakai]

Your angels are different from my angels, because my angels are awful.

[papillonmagique]

... I suppose it would be more appropriate to say that your worlds God was worse than the one I know, in that case.

[scentofmakai]

Oh, He's the worst of tyrants. But I don't go around saying that unless it comes up, because some people get defensive about their gods.

[papillonmagique]

Oh, yes, they do don't they... [Right now just absently throwing a ball into the air and catching it again.] A bit silly, since it is not their God you are talking about, but religion is an iffy topic.

[Says the angel.]

[scentofmakai]

A lot of people do silly things. If they never did it would be a much more boring world.

[papillonmagique]

Yes, I suppose that is true. It would also be a much more depressing world too, without silly things.

[scentofmakai]

I'm glad we agree. What's your name?

[papillonmagique]

[She blinks, and then glances at the ball she's still throwing into the air and catching.] Zoe Gallais. May I ask what your name is?
