Cause we're just under the upperhand

Characters: Dave Strider and anyone who wants to run into the teen
Setting: Around the Tower
Format: Either
Summary: Dave is running from something only he can see because of his illness.
Warnings: Paranoia, Insanity, the usual Animus problems


[Dorm Levels]
You might be lucky to run into Dave here. He's been kind of absent from the dorm levels as of late. You might have been lucky to catch him the few days he actually has been in his dorm, but he usually only tries to sleep before disappearing off again. His poor Pokemon, Missy, has been waiting at the foot of his bed for him forlornly. At least he brings her food before disappearing again.

Right now, he's wandering aimlessly the floor. He keeps looking behind him, expecting something and sometimes he'll pick up his pace as though he has seen something.

He'll eventually start making his way to the stairs though. He really doesn't look like he wants to stick around here that long. He looks exhausted and his movements aren't up to par as they usually are from the looks of it.

[Floor 48: Graveyard]
Dave has started frequenting this floor, even if it was morbid. He kind of just like staring at all the names across the headstones. He makes daily visits to some of his friends' tombstones. He knows there's nothing in them, but it makes him feel better to leave flowers or something once in awhile.

Right now? He's running. He's running as fast as his feet can take him. He's mumbling and tripping over his feet and it looks like he's running from something. What it is? Well, no one else can see it. Only him.

[Floor 40: Storage Room]
He's basically tried to wedge himself in some corner, hands clutched over his ears and threaded in his hair and he has his face buried against his knees. Dave likes floors like these right now, because he doesn't think people frequent them as much. The less he has to be around people, the better.

[Floor 25: Meadow]
Dave had been going to this floor to avoid the cold. For some reason, it stays in Springtime weather, which he isn't going to complain about because it beats the rest of the tower. But he'll move soon. He can't stay on a floor for too long. If he does, the creatures trying to control him will find him and try again.

For now though, he's going to take advantage of the fact that he can be relatively warm for this short moment.

[At this, Tohko sighed. She saw the connection quite clearly, in her mind.]

I'm not saying that Dax and Zo will be completely redeemable heroes, but if they help us get out of here and help take down Ruana and Jason..then they would be pretty large heroes, even if they did have a horrible backstory.

[Sorry, Dave. Tohko tends to be on a different wavelength than most people. Even if what she's saying makes sense to her, sometimes it doesn't to other people. Once again, Tohko sighed.]

You're forgetting that heroes don't always get praise for what they do. They usually just do it because it's the right thing to do.

So, knowing that, it's not hard to think that Dax and Zo might do nice things for us in the future. Or force the others to ask for volunteers for their experiments.

That's not true! I'm listening to everything that you're saying. We got here because you mentioned that there were quite a few nice things the Administrators could do, but they weren't ever going to do them. I then mentioned that Dax might, since he seems the most trustworthy of the bunch, and you said that you would only give Dax and Zo the benefit of the doubt, and Zo only because he was a little kid.

I countered and said that heroes in stories-people who help others-could be children. In hindsight, I should have mentioned that there were some anti-hero children as well..but at that point in the conversation, you blew up at me.

[..That actually made Tohko pause for a minute, as the wind was taken out of her sails a bit, and before she spoke again, she sighed.]

I'm a book girl, so I tend to bring stories and books into things. However..I didn't mean to slap just one stereotype or trope onto the Administrators or anyone else. For one thing, even though there may be many heroes, villains, and anti-heroes in stories, most of them are unique and different from the ones you would see in different volumes. The hero sometimes isn't that nice of a person either.

However, I wasn't trying to force you to see the Administrators like that. If it seemed like that, then it was my fault and..I apologize.

[..It felt a bit weird to be apologizing like this, but Tohko knew that she was in the wrong here. Besides..if she was ever going to apologize to Konoha properly, she had to get used to it.]

And since Dax and Zo can be heroes, doesn't it give you a bit of hope that someone so close to the Administrators is on their side?
