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

[scentofmakai]

"If you show that they can use magic at the beginning, your readers will accept that. And don't worry, you'll get better with practice."

Zett's no writer himself, but you get bored in the tower.

Romeo nodded, "Okay so we gotta show that rabbits can use magic, so maybe the squirrel can just appear in front of the rabbits. Because that's magic, then when they fight no one will stop believing it."

does anyone else actually want to read this

[scentofmakai]

"Hmmm... that works for me."

totally gonna be a best seller

[myblueskies]

Okay so Veigar appears in front of the rabbits and at first they think he's another monster!

[scentofmakai]

But then he doesn't attack them.

[myblueskies]

No. [He frowned] Will that make people stop believing it? If he doesn't get angry?

[scentofmakai]

What if he gets a little angry but he doesn't attack?

[myblueskies]

Okay, he can just shout at them a bit.

[scentofmakai]

That sounds a lot like our Veigar.

[myblueskies]

So people will believe it right?

[scentofmakai]

Yeah, they will.

[myblueskies]

That's great! [Story writing is really fun!]

[scentofmakai]

So what next?

[myblueskies]

So after shouting at them the squirrel agrees to go on their adventure with them!

[scentofmakai]

They should get a goal sometime soon!

[myblueskies]

What do you mean a goal?

[scentofmakai]

When heroes go out to slay the evil king, or find the lost treasure, or something specific they want to do, that's their goal, and it makes the story better to read and get invested in.

[myblueskies]

Oh... [He thinks about that] I don't know, what do you think a good goal is Zett?

[scentofmakai]

Maybe they hear about something really cool that they want to find and bring home to the other rabbits?

[myblueskies]

Yes, like um... a carrot. But not just any carrot, a field of the most tasty carrots ever. So they go to look for them but they are really far away!

[scentofmakai]

And they can have adventures on the way to the far-away field.

[myblueskies]

Exactly! And make lots of new friends!

[scentofmakai]

I think this will be a great book.

[myblueskies]

Do you think so? I hope it is! [He grinned, drawing more trees around the squirrel]

[scentofmakai]

Sure, everyone will love it.
