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]

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?

[scentofmakai]

Zett Takajo. It's nice to meet you, even if they're bad circumstances.

[papillonmagique]

It is nice to meet you too, Zett...

... Hehe, never though I would say that to a demon. But then again, you are vastly different from other demons I have met.

[scentofmakai]

I'd never say that to an angel from my world, either.

[papillonmagique]

Well, I can admit that I am odd for an angel, even back in my world.

[scentofmakai]

Oh yeah? How so?

[papillonmagique]

[There's a pause, as she thinks of how to word this. But she then simply decides to shrug casually.]

I was completely human until a couple of weeks ago. Considering angels in my world are typically just created by God, I am the odd one.

[scentofmakai]

Weird. But not completely unheard of. Still, it's pretty rare that someone goes from human to angel.

[papillonmagique]

I was one of the lucky ones. [So much sarcasm in her voice right now.]

Though I still vastly prefer to think of myself as human.

[scentofmakai]

Then you are a weird one.

[papillonmagique]

Just because I consider myself human still?

[scentofmakai]

I don't blame you, but you are weird.

[papillonmagique]

Well, my body and mind are still human. It is just the soul that is different.

[scentofmakai]

How does that work?

[papillonmagique]

To put a long story short, I just have the soul of an angel, and I will truly become an angel after my death due to a deal I made.

[scentofmakai]

Must have really wanted that deal.

[papillonmagique]

Let's just say that my family is that important to me. Plus, there was a gap in the order that the angels wished to fill.
