Summary: It's good to have the tower full. Zett busies himself on various floors, then makes visits to a few important people.
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

[sunflowerfairy]

Wow..he doesn't look like it though! And Yotsuba understands! Some of your family is here, and he's friends with them, so you can call Enoch your Uncle!

[scentofmakai]

Basically.

[He's... family with himself...?]

[sunflowerfairy]

[Yotsuba thought that Zett meant that a few other family members of his-like his mother or father-had come to the Tower too, and since Enoch was a close family friend of theirs, Zett was able to call Enoch an Uncle.

That's what she thought, anyway. However, with that explanation over, she lobbed another ball at Zett, smiling.]

[scentofmakai]

[Return fire! Even if he gets hit a few times, this is still fun.]

[sunflowerfairy]

[This was a lot of fun, especially to Yotsuba who had never done anything like this back home. Sure, they had been planning on making a sling a few minutes ago..but, sadly, that idea had flown out of Yotsuba's brain, thanks to the other topics at hand.

The ball hit her, but she just started laughing a little as she threw another one at him.]

[scentofmakai]

[After a few more volleys, Zett starts talking again.]

Your name's Yotsuba, right? I'm Zett.

[sunflowerfairy]

It's nice to meet you, Zett! I'm Yotsuba Koiwai!

[For once, she didn't mispronounce his name.]

[scentofmakai]

[That's why he didn't give his full name.]

Have you been in the tower a long time?

[sunflowerfairy]

[And that question puzzled Yotsuba. It was hard keeping track of the months here, since she didn't think there was a proper calendar.]

Um..I guess so. I don't really know though..

[scentofmakai]

Hmm. Do you know there's a calendar on the terminals?

[sunflowerfairy]

Termites?

[She has no clue what you're talking about, Zett.]

[scentofmakai]

The things on the walls with the screens and the buttons you push with letters on them.

[sunflowerfairy]

I don't know what those are..but they sound like fun! What do the buttons do?!

[scentofmakai]

You can send messages for other people to read.

[sunflowerfairy]

Oh!~ That sounds like fun! Yotsuba wants to do that too!

[scentofmakai]

There's some on the dormitory floor, I can show you how.

[sunflowerfairy]

Really?! Let's go then!

[With that, Yotsuba would put her sling away before swimming out of the ball pit. She then turned and called to Zett.]

C'mon, Zett, or I'll leave without you!

[scentofmakai]

I'm coming!

[He's pretty light on his feet, but ball pits are still awkward to navigate. He catches up quickly, though.]

[sunflowerfairy]

[And when Zett caught up, Yotsuba would, of course, charge ahead through the floor and onto the stairs. Hopefully Zett would be able to keep up with the energetic girl, because she would take off up the stairs without looking back.]

[scentofmakai]

[Zett was pretty fast, but man that was some energetic kid. Time to race!]

[sunflowerfairy]

[Not that Yotsuba really minded. She had only really raced with her Daddy back home and tried to race with Red here, so she wasn't complaining about adding another one under her belt.

She just tried her best to run faster, laughing as she did so. This was fun!]

[scentofmakai]

[Who would be the victor? And did it matter?]

[sunflowerfairy]

[Probably Zett, if he ran at full speed, and it did matter to Yotsuba..but only a little bit. Right now, she was just laughing and running.]

[scentofmakai]

[Well, he wouldn't run at full speed... so in the end, he let Yotsuba win.]

[sunflowerfairy]

[So, when they got to the dorm hallways, Yotsuba would just laugh again and throw a fist in the air.]

Yotsuba won! Where are the ter..terminals?
