[Floor 61]
["Many mushrooms grow on this floor. It is unknown if they are edible or not."

That was what the guide to the tower said, and Zett was just bored enough to decide to make a helpful contribution. Perhaps they would kill him unpleasantly, but his death would help people in the future to not die. Perhaps they would be incredibly tasty and a good source of food during Jason months. It was hard to tell, with the tower.

Careful to avoid all the pits on this floor, Zett gathers up as many mushrooms as he can. Just one wouldn't be enough to know for sure how dangerous these mushrooms were - if the first one didn't kill him, he'd have to test another.

Zett isn't actually going to eat on this floor (too dangerous with the pits around), so other residents will just encounter him picking mushrooms and gathering them in a box.]

[Dormitory Floors]
[When Zett gets back to the dorm floors, it's finally time to test the mushrooms for deadliness. Setting the box on the ground, Zett picks up one mushroom and munches on it.

It's delicious. Zett finishes it quickly and waits for any side effects.

Gradually he notices that his vision is going a little... weird. Colors are changing. The doors are starting to morph into shapes that clearly wouldn't fit a person through them, unless they were a very strangely formed person. He feels kind of... melty.

Huh.

Zett picks up his box of mushrooms and walks around the dormitories, occasionally stumbling as the ground doesn't feel right. When he spots other people, he'll smile and wave and tell them something like,] Did you know you're leaving a trail of light behind you? [After a moment, he'll add.] That could be the mushrooms, though.

Comments

[papillonmagique]

[Now he knows how she feels.]

Really? ... Huh, that is odd. Because they really do suit them.

[belzebul]

It's a nice compliment to get from you.

[papillonmagique]

Hey, my compliments are always nice. Granted, I may tease people a lot, but I always mean my compliments.

[belzebul]

I know. So I'm glad to hear it from you.

[papillonmagique]

And I am sure someone else will share and state the same views as me too.

[belzebul]

I guess then you must both be right.

[papillonmagique]

Of course! So what I am trying to say is that I like your wings too.

[scentofmakai]

What about when we're not high?

[papillonmagique]

I still like your wings even when we are not high.

[belzebul]

Why thank you~

[papillonmagique]

You are welcome~. [But now she backs away, rubbing her eyes slightly as things keep melting.] But either way, I should leave you to your experimenting.

[belzebul]

Don't get in trouble. Stay away from dangerous floors. Else I'll feel bad.

[papillonmagique]

... Bad about what?

[belzebul]

About drugging you and getting you hurt, obviously.

[papillonmagique]

I drugged myself, so do not worry about that... And maybe I should try to fight while I am like this, to see how well I could do... [Zoe no]

[belzebul]

That strikes me as not a good idea.

[papillonmagique]

I was literally born for fighting, so it will not be that much of a bad idea! [Says the angel who is completely high.]

[belzebul]

No. Really. How can I make you stay in the dorms?

[papillonmagique]

What? [A huff, and she crosses her arms with a pout. It's 'spoiled brat' time.] Why do I have to stay here? I am not that high.

[belzebul]

I don't want to be responsible for Yet Another Stupid Death.

[papillonmagique]

Well, you will not. You did not force me to eat the mushroom, right?

[belzebul]

No, but... but... If you don't stay in the dorms I'll kiss you. You don't want that, do you?

[HIGH LOGIC.]

[papillonmagique]

[Clearly the best logic!

And Zoe chokes for a moment, before going right back to brat mode.]

Wha- That... I bet you would not! Even you are not high enough to do something like that!

So I am gonna go fight and it will be fine, I will prove it to you!

[belzebul]

I'm completely serious. I'll kiss you on the lips even.

[papillonmagique]

[Nope, she 'hmphs' and still turns around to leave.]

You are bluffing! Look, I will even come back later with a head of one of the monsters to prove that I fought.
