[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

[scentofmakai]

Well, if you didn't, I'd feel stupid and be mad.

[papillonmagique]

[She just bursts into giggles at that.] You would feel stupid?

[scentofmakai]

Very stupid. And I'm not stupid.

[papillonmagique]

Heh, well, I suppose I can agree with you about that.

[scentofmakai]

Thanks. You're a good friend.

[papillonmagique]

[She actually looks a bit embarrassed about that. So she covers it up with snark.] Never thought I would hear a demon say that to me.

[scentofmakai]

The tower's a strange place.

[papillonmagique]

Apparently so, if demons and angels can be friends that easily. Along with the monsters and hallucinogenic mushrooms.

[scentofmakai]

I give up on making sense of it, really.

[papillonmagique]

I suppose a demon and angel befriending each other here is not one of the most oddest things, then.

[scentofmakai]

I could find stranger on any random assortment of floors.

[papillonmagique]

Considering one floor is covered in flesh, that would not be too hard. [She makes a face at mentioning that floor. Cause ew, that floor.]

[scentofmakai]

I'm taking it you've never been inside something alive before.

[papillonmagique]

Of course not!

... Have you?

[scentofmakai]

Some demons are really big.

[papillonmagique]

[Blink. Then she wrinkles her nose up.] Ew. Do I even want to know how you got out of them?

[scentofmakai]

No, actually, you don't want to know.

[papillonmagique]

I thought so... Why were you even inside them in the first place? Did you get eaten?

[scentofmakai]

Something like that!

[papillonmagique]

... I should hope there was nothing from demon insides on you still. Or else I might have to scrub my face a few hundred times.

[scentofmakai]

That was ages ago, don't worry.

[papillonmagique]

Oh good. Or else I would have been upset about the kiss thing.

[scentofmakai]

I promise I'm clean and washed.

[papillonmagique]

Good! And now that I can feel myself becoming a bit more sober now... [Punch in the arm again.]

[scentofmakai]

"Owowow."

Totally uncalled for.
