Characters: Zelos and ~~his hunnies~~ everyone!
Setting: Cafeteria, Floor 4, Floor 82, and Room 2-16
Format: Brackets, but will match
Summary: The Great Zelos arrives.
Warnings: None, except being a huge flirt.

Cafeteria:

[The food here was nothing more than edible (quite frankly, that was putting it kindly). Zelos wasn't sure what had prompted all of their cooks to suddenly start substituting pumpkin for everything; it seemed like a culinary choice inspired by Raine herself. But, even bad food could be made better with good company, and that's just what Zelos set out to find.]

[Whether it was a wistful gaze across the room, or a smooth pickup line, Zelos is going around the cafeteria trying to find a lady that he is worthy enough to dine with. ~~Guys are probably okay, too, but he's not going to approach them first. :|~~.]

Floor 4:

[Zelos is lounging on one of the couches, looking out the window. It was certainly a pleasant sight outside; for the life of him, he couldn't think of any time he'd ever seen this much fog. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to see anything beyond the fog. But, the other person in the room seemed to be looking out of the window too, like they were in thought.]

[Maybe this person would be able to help him gather information on the tower; he'll walk up beside them, and try to spark up a conversation.]

Cheery, huh?

Floor 82:

[He needed somewhere to go to cope with the news of his world being destroyed, and the masquerade on floor 82 seemed like the most fitting choice. As he danced through the room it was hard to believe he wasn't still home; this ball could have just as easily been hosted by some bigwig back in Meltokio.]

[He seems to be moving through the crowd fluidly and switching partners often, but he certainly wouldn't mind a new partner; and he certainly isn't going to be shy about asking any of the lovely maidens on this floor to dance. In fact, it looks like someone new has just entered the floor, and it would be a shame if he passed this opportunity up.]

[He'll walk up, bow, and offer his hand.]

May I have this dance?

Room 2-16:

[Any day at Animus is long and tiring; whatever time he spends back at the room he's going to spend lounging on his bed or sleeping. His roommates or neighbors are still free to approach him. ~~But don't be surprised if he's less receptive to you than anyone else he's talked to that day.~~]

[And while Zelos is glancing around the room, he might hear a shocked voice from behind him.]

Z-Zelos?! Is that........you?!

Hmmm? [Edgeworth turns his head to see who was talking to him, very deep in thought about their progress with the collar research.

He's never seen Zelos before and, considering that it's the beginning of the month, this red-haired man might possibly be new to the tower. On the other hand, he could have been here for a long while and Edgeworth simply never bumped into him.]

Oh....indeed. It simply makes my heart flutter with joy. [As demonstrated by the deadpan tone in Edgeworth's voice.]

[Hey look, an angel.

V/V looks the part anyway, white wings, blond hair, and a bright smile that she turns on Zelos when he speaks.]

It's not as bad as some of the other floors!

[There's a cute and curvy winged girl ladling herself a generous portion of pumpkin soup in the cafeteria line. Chat her up y/n?]

[France always lags behind the crowd during mealtimes, intent on making sure the drones have prepared the food properly (as if they could do anything but), so by the time he makes it out of the kitchen area, he's looking tousled and a little weary. While making his way to a table, tray in hand, he very nearly bumps into Zelos.]

Pardonnez-moi! Excuse me.

[With a quick pivot, France manages to avoid stumbling into the stranger. The... incredibly pretty stranger. Oh my. He perks up almost immediately and flashes him a smile.]

It seems I was distracted by your radiance, mon cher. Please forgive me.

[This guy wastes no time.]

[Having walked into the masquerade floor just to pass through Lavi comes to a complete halt as the miss who Zelos was asking to dance goes off with another partner. It leaves Lavi somewhat in front of him and carrying a book.]

Ah... I think I'll pass on that, yeah?

[There is one irritated ninja in the corner unaware of Zelos' presence stabbing at her oatmeal with her spoon as she eats. It doesn't taste bad, but she's not happy that she'd been told she had to eat this before anything else when all she wanted was something light.

She had just stabbed the food again to bring another spoonful to her mouth when a familiar voice penetrates her irritation. Slowly lowering her spoon, she turns and stares, a mix of emotions flooding her.]

Zelos?!

.. Cheery..?

[ She slowly blinks at the guy who suddenly spoke up to her. Urotsuki's expression is fairly blank, and it actually takes her a moment or two to think what he's even saying here.. ]

What's cheery? [ Nope, she can't figure it out by herself. So she just asks him in the blankest tone, looking up at him and maybe looking sliiightly curious. ]

Perhaps to you.

[Sola-ui glares back at the other person in the room.]

In my world, we would to a gray, cloud-filled sky gloomy.

You're pretty open, aren't you?

[And here's a very masculine guy lurking right behind Zelos.]

Can't blame you, though. We do have lots of pretty ladies around here.

[Zoe had mostly been brooding to herself, though she almost seems to welcome the chance to talk to someone and glances over at Zelos with an amused look.]

Very. Just needs some rain or lightening to set the mood even more.

It isn't that bad. [The ponytailed individual in the green and black suit shrugged, adjusting the sunglasses on his head.] The sky back home had a terrible habit of being dreary and miserable. I could just be used to it

[Judging by his accent, Waver was referring to somewhere in England--not that Zelos would have had any idea where that was, of course. He glanced over his shoulder, casting an analytical look at the Chosen before continuing.]

I don't believe we've met.

Colette! How is my favorite little angel? <3

[His playful tone might not carry it fully, but he's incredibly glad to see Colette.]

I know! If it's always so doom and gloom outside, you'd think they could at least spring for mood lighting or something, sheesh.

[Once he was able to get a closer look, Zelos could tell this man seemed more serious than Zelos had first anticipated. But, that probably meant he knew something about the tower, and was probably a veteran resident.]

So, been here long, Frills?

[Another...angel? Her wings certainly weren't like any he'd seen, if this place looked like it pulled from other worlds, it wasn't unheard of that other worlds might have something similar.]

With an angel of such beauty on this floor, even the better floors can't compare!

[The answer is always y, obv.]

Hello there, angel. Would you do this mere mortal a favor and honor him with your presence at a table?

Y-you're alive....I'd thought I'd never...

[No.]

[No.]

[Oh hell no.]

Look, bro, as happy as I am that you've noticed the magnificence of the Great Zelos, I've got hunnies to go find. If you could get out of my way so I could get through, that would be good, yeah?

[This was a guy.]

[The person he was asking to dance just left, and the person he was facing was a guy.]

[Welp.]

...Probably for the best.

[Realising that she had just let her guard down, Colette tries to compose herself and just give Zelos a smile. No, she didn't think that you were gone forever and it might be her fault. No way!] I mean.....I didn't expect you to be here at all! Have you just arrived at the Tower?

[RUDE. He raises an eyebrow at that.] My name is Miles Edgeworth, not.......[Gee, he's having a hard time saying that]...'Frills'.

And to answer your question, I came here early January. So that would be....nine months, I suppose.

[There's a pale, slender woman with an eye patch that's...not actually in the cafeteria proper, but is instead nosing around the kitchen. She doesn't seem any more impressed with the all-pumpkin menu than he is, her lips pursed together and her brow furrowed. She should have realized by now that it's useless to check for any other ingredients, but... She's stubborn.]

[Words could not describe how glad Zelos was to see Sheena in the cafeteria. Being stuck in the tower was enough, but having the knowledge that their world was dead and that everyone he loved was dead too was crushing. Even if it was just Sheena and Colette, having people he knew at all in the tower was a huge boost.]

[Buuuuut, he's not going to let either of them know (or see) any of that! Instead he's going to act like his same old self and pretend nothing has changed because they could all probably benefit from being a little distracted right now.]

Hello there, my lovely voluptuous Sheena! May I take this seat?

[Too late he's already sitting.]

How can any sky be gloomy when I'm in the presence of such a beautiful lady?

[Wow a bro after his own heart.]

Exactly! It would be a shame to let all these lovely ladies go without the Great Zelos.
