06 | they can take our fists

[scentofmakai]

Characters: Zett and you!
Setting: Floors 1, 2, 30, and 74 in the day, and the rest of the tower at night
Format: Starting actionspam, will change to match!
Summary: Zett is searching for monster weapons. This means doing a lot of killing, which he also enjoys.
Warnings: Zett is mildly off his rocker and, while he isn't likely to attack people unless provoked, is certainly willing to talk abut creepy things.

[During the day, constant nighttime floors (74 or 30 mainly) - during the night, almost any floor]

[Real weapons. Real weapons were useful. Real weapons could be found off monsters, and that meant killing a lot of monsters.

Killing monsters, Zett could do.

Lightning and dark magic and claws were second nature to Zett, so much so that even as maddened as he would admit he currently was, he could take down most monsters of the tower.

Not all - he might have been cackling as he took down a weaker enemy, but he was still in control of himself enough to run from something beyond his skill level. He was fast and could outrun most enemies if it came to that. He'd even stop giggling while he ran.

Other monsters weren't so lucky. Zett wanted something to die and die painfully, and Ruana wasn't available, so he took the next best option.

He probably wouldn't attack tower residents. Probably.]

[Floor 1, daytime]

[Zett still needed to eat, of course. He could be caught devouring hearty meals of whatever pumpkin-flavored item was available. The more he ate at once, the longer he could go before having to return to this floor.]

[Floor 2, daytime]

[Occasionally, Zett would get injured like anybody else spending a lot of time fighting. In that case, he returned to the infirmary and bandaged himself up... still giggling a little from the fight..]

Zett! [Look who followed you Zett, Romeo often went to fight monsters himself, but he had followed Zett tonight and Zett fought much more powerful monsters than Romeo was used to, so here Romeo was battling with a many snake monster with just his tiny knife.

He was fighting hard though, he hadn't died in almost a year and he wasn't about to start now]

[scentofmakai]

[Kid getting in over his head again... Zett turned and blasted a large bolt of lightning at the pieces of the ruby on the snakes' back.]

Romeo, you shouldn't be out fighting if you can't handle it~

[myblueskies]

I can handle it! [He shouted, angry that he had needed to be rescued] I almost got it!

[scentofmakai]

You might die first~

[It's almost sing-song. Another bolt of lightning stretches from his hands to the monster.]

[myblueskies]

But I'll just come back! [He stabs at the snake again, aiming for the stone on it's head.]

[scentofmakai]

Dying is dying even if you die and you die and you die-

[Zett's just going to keep repeating that until that snake dies.]

[myblueskies]

It's dead Zett! [Romeo looks worried, because his friend is acting a bit scary.] You can stop now.

[scentofmakai]

[Zett stops, though he shoots it one last time for good measure.]

It can never be too dead.

[myblueskies]

[He pulled a face] Come on Zett let's go somewhere else.

[scentofmakai]

I'm hunting tonight. If we get real weapons, we can act more against the administrators - if we do that then I won't lose another person like Yotsuba.

[myblueskies]

[Romeo looked sad for a moment and then he nodded] Okay! [He was still sad about Yostuba too, and if there was any way to stop anyone else disappearing he would help even though he doubted they could stop it. A lot of people had gone already]

[scentofmakai]

You can go back if you want, though. Because - if you were to disappear, I'd be angry.

[At the administrators, of course.]

[myblueskies]

No I want to help you! I'd be mad if your disapeared too Zett!

somewhere. NIGHTTIME.

[undefines]

[Nue moves around after dark far more often than she does in the day, but the way she sees it, that's normal. It's natural for a youkai to be most active during the night, right? So, Zett is far from the first person she has come across in the process of hunting monsters. No, what catches her attention is the laughter.]

[With her form hidden, it could be dangerous to approach people at night, and especially when the person being approached seemed to be actively looking for monsters to fight... But this time, at least, she speaks, her legs crossed as she floats in the air.]

Oh...? Has this place made somebody crack?

[scentofmakai]

[Lucky for her, most monsters don't talk. Or at least, not in a voice he doesn't recognize. Zett quits his laughing, but there's still a toothy smile on his face when he answers.]

Maybe it has. Or it's possible I was always like this and we just haven't met before. Which do you think is more likely?

[undefines]

I guess that would depend on what you're killing them for. Fun, or something else?

[scentofmakai]

Weapons. Good, actual weapons.

[undefines]

Then I'd guess it's more likely that you cracked.

[She states this matter-of-factly, then asks:] You're going to make weapons out of their corpses?

[scentofmakai]

Of course not. I'm waiting for one of the ones who carry weapons to show up.

[undefines]

And what are you going to do, when you have those weapons?

[scentofmakai]

Hell if I know. Uncle Enoch has a better idea.

[undefines]

Hm, so you're really just throwing a fit.

[She doesn't sound judgmental. Her tone holds the same matter-of-fact bluntness as everything else she has said.]

[scentofmakai]

It's not bad to let planning people do the planning.

[undefines]

No, I guess it isn't. [Then:] What's your name?

[scentofmakai]

Zett Takajo. Or Baal Zebul if I'm trying to be intimidating. Which sometimes works.
