09 | was never much but we made the most
Characters: Zett Takajo and you! Also starring a chipped unit.
Setting: Two wildcard prompts and floor 88.
Format: Actionspam, will switch to match.
Summary: Zett names the chipped unit tailing him, continues to stalk people for the hero book, and learns to play pool.
Warnings: None, will edit if any come up.
[A: Anywhere]
[It's hard to miss the chipped unit tailing Zett. For one thing, he's now wearing a hat in the same style as Zett's.
Zett's reasoning is simple - it's getting cold and he doesn't need two hats, he can't wear two at once. Thus his regained hat could be better used for someone else, and why not his chipped unit?
He's gotten attached to him, anyway.]
You don't mind if I call you Hibiki, right? I know theme naming is a little tacky, but I think it suits you.
[Hibiki is a name that means 'echo' or 'sound' and it suits Aria's little brother.
Zett can be found almost anywhere in the tower, and wherever he goes, Hibiki will be behind, still wearing that silly-looking hat Zett put on his head. Feel free to comment.]
[B: Anywhere]
[Was your name dropped for the heroes list? Congratulations! That means that Zett needs to communicate exactly what you look like for the book's illustrations to be any good, and for that, he needs a good sketch.
That's why Zett spends a lot of the day trying to find the people he's meant to draw, and after he finds one, he tries to tail them without raising too much suspicion so that he can draw them. It's hard to draw quickly and stay hidden at the same time, though, so it's not that hard to notice him after a while.]
[C: Floor 88]
[There's an increased lack of things to do when he is taking time for himself, so Zett's decided he's going to teach himself pool.
He's not very good at it, though. Those passing by the bar floor may hear his curses of frustration as he continues to flub at getting the balls where he wants to go.]
This looks so easy when other people do it.

Uh--y-yeah, sure! [No arguments--he could use the break from his jogging anyways. Rick rests against the wall and combs an anxious hand through his hair.] S-Sorry, I...d-d-didn't know you w-were s-s-still... [realizing that he's probably making this more complicated than he needs to be] ...n-never mind.
no subject
[Zett continues to diligently sketch Patrick.] It's a shame to be a blue collar sometimes.
no subject
They...w-weren't very f-f-friendly, yeah. [He hides his face behind his arm, unconsciously avoiding Zett's scrutinizing gaze as he's drawn.] ...I h-hope not t-too many p-people were h-hurt. Were you...?
no subject
[That's the most important thing to ask.]
no subject
A-Ah--no. [A beat; then he points at his side without really thinking about it.] They, um--they d-did c-catch me, though. Once.
no subject
Good. You should probably go easy on any of your injuries for a while.

...E-Everyone d-did their b-best. I'm n-not...I w-w-wish p-people d-d-didn't have to g-get hurt f-for it, but...at l-least w-we all m-made it b-back. [A beat before Rick quickly corrects himself: ] --And A-Aria--the f-floor--we m-made p-p-progress!
no subject
[It drives him crazy, that they can't just be satisfied at any point.]
no subject
...M-Maybe, but...that j-just m-makes you w-want to w-w-work h-harder, r-right? Keep g-going, and n-never give up...g-g-getting c-closer to the end, e-every t-t-time. I m-mean--that's how I s-see it.
no subject
[At least, you're more chaos than you appear.]
no subject
W-Well...we h-h-have to, r-right? We c-can't just...n-not when we kn--know there's a w-way out.
no subject
no subject
--W-We c-can't, here. I m-mean...we c-can't even d-d-die.
[Because that would have been too easy.]
N-Nothing to do b-but...keep g-going.
no subject
It's a weak reason to fight, still. Just because you can do nothing else.
no subject
...I-It's all I h-have l-l-left. That's...e-e-everything, i-isn't it? What e-else can...c-can I o-offer...?
no subject
no subject
W-Well...my w-wife. But--I s-still can't o-offer a-a-anything more than m-my l-life to s-s-save her. I...I w-wish there was m-more I c-c-could do...

[It makes him feel better, at least, though having to admit it is almost shameful. Rick locks eyes with the floor by his feet and falls into silence.]
I'm so sorry
;_;
...I-I-I c-can try.
[And then he falls back into pensive silence while he waits for Zett to finish his sketch. Some hero, he is...]
