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?

[scentofmakai]

What do angels in your world look like?

[papillonmagique]

[Oh, this will be hard to describe.] Very... un-human, would be a good word. They are hard to describe and humans find them painful to look at... It's like they took what they thought a human should look like and warped it around horribly. And their wings are made out of symbols, rather than anything like feathers.

[scentofmakai]

That's interesting. I'd like to see one but that would mean being around an angel.

[papillonmagique]

.... I could at least show you how the wins look, if you want.

[scentofmakai]

That would be nice of you.

[papillonmagique]

[Ugh can't believe she's doing this, but he did show her his other form, so it's only polite. So Zoe sighs and fishes an amulet out of her pocket, which she holds out to Zett.]

Could you hold this, please?

I guess he changed back because uh icons

[scentofmakai]

[Zett takes the amulet from her carefully.]

[papillonmagique]

[And this is when glowing angelic runes start appearing all across her skin, and a pair of almost butterfly-shaped wings appear on her back, made entirely out of more runes in intricate shapes.] Ta-da.

[She would look impressive if it wasn't for the deadpan expression.]

[scentofmakai]

That's pretty cool. So the amulet hides it?

[papillonmagique]

Exactly. Once I lose the amulet, I become a walking light show.

[scentofmakai]

Would you like it back?

[papillonmagique]

[Pause. And then she shrugs.] I do not mind. Why, is there something else you wished to see?

[scentofmakai]

Well... can you fly with them?

[papillonmagique]

[Blink. And then with a flap of her wings, she's floating a good few inches above the ground.] Yes, I can.

[scentofmakai]

Good. No point in pretty wings if you can't fly.

[papillonmagique]

They are functional, though I doubt pretty would be a good word for them.

[scentofmakai]

Then they're cool-looking.

[papillonmagique]

... Heh, thank you. If I did not have these runes all over my skin, I might have used this form more often.

[scentofmakai]

I might use my real form but people are so sensitive about bugs.

[papillonmagique]

That is true. I will never understand why people freak out over insects so much.

[scentofmakai]

Your guess is as good as mine.
