001 Acts of Kindness
Characters: Darres + Anyone!
Setting: Dorms 4-18, Floor 87, 19, Anywhere on the stairs
Time: All day
Format: I'll match
Summary: Darres is adjusting to his current situation, and exploring his new environment.
Warnings: Drowsiness may occur on the 87th floor.
[(Dorms) Darres found himself in an unfamiliar, dull setting. For the moment he was unable to move he was concerned, but his worry soon subsided when regained his mobility. He checked his surroundings out of habit before coming to a note informing him of his supposed situation. The general found it rather hard to believe and was skeptical that his world fell to such perils.] Just what I needed. [Another unwelcome consequence he was almost certain was caused by Ishtar. His first priority was to search for her.]
[(F87) Having left the dorms, the first floor that came off less suspicious and more like home was this one. Figuring it was a good place to start to find her, Darres enter with caution. Not having his weapon readily available made him far more vulnerable that he was comfortable with. "Ishtar, where are you?"]
[Gradually he found himself becoming drowsy and he hadn't the faintest idea why. The stubborn knight general kept his stance for as long as he could. Darres was having very little luck finding her, and before long it felt he was going to pass out. Still, he was unaware of the underlying cause.]
[(F19) Long his close call with floor high above, he eventually led himself to the library. It was as good as good of place as any too look for any key information to help him better understand his situation that the others were unable to inform him of. However, he was having trouble finding what he was looking for and stumbling upon theories and scientific research he's never even seen or heard of before. Growing frustration at the attempt to uncover any specific information, he will be found here for quite some time until he either becomes satisfied with his current findings, or gives up for the day.]

no subject
[Even if she wasn't who he expected her to be, his feelings for her weren't any different.]
It doesn't matter to me.
[It was as simple as that.]
no subject
[ She shouted back, curling up. ]
...How can you say that?
[ She knew he was like that but it still didn't stop her from fighting it. ]
no subject
I say it because I mean it.
[He just wanted her to accept his acceptance.]
no subject
[ Ishtar didn't get him sometimes but she knew he was right. He was always right about these things. She might not be the same Ishtar, but she was still Ishtar through and through. ]
Prove it to me. I don't want--I don't want to be left behind anymore.
[ Cue, tears. ]
no subject
You won't be left behind. You can take my word for it.
[He'll be the same loyal knight he's always been. Attached at the hip by her side.
Nothing pained him more than seeing her cry. He made a vow that he would protect so no one would have to see her cry; so she would have no reason to cry! The gentle knight took her in a soft embrace. It was rare occasion for him to engage in physical contact, but he wanted to get his point across. He never took back his words.]
no subject
You...you can't guarantee that Darres. You can't.
[ Ishtar would be relieved for that but if the Tower wants to get rid of him like they did, Duzell, it wouldn't be a problem. They did a good job at it and it hurt her to no end knowing that truth. Ishtar accepted the warm instantly, clinging to it like a lost child and letting tears roll down her face.
It was comforting to know that someone was still there for her, despite everything. She might not have a real identity but she was already set on making herself a new identity, but it still plagued her. The fact that she wasn't the real thing. ]
no subject
I'll have to try.
[Regardless of how little he had control over. He wasn't going to give in.]
no subject
If...If you're gone too, then what?
[ She wasn't giving in but let's face the fact, there was no lasting happiness in a world like this. Here or Facility, it was the same. ]
no subject
If you have been away for as long as you claimed, there's still a chance I will be as well.
[Through the odds, there was percentage on his side still.]
no subject
[ She quietly cried while listening to his words. She knew his words were promises, but promises don't last here. They never do. ]
...Maybe, or maybe they just like watching people suffer at the loss of their loved ones.
[ She hugged him tighter. ]
no subject
[He was determined.]
no subject
[ She stopped crying but determination was what kept her going. She knew he was right but she couldn't easily believe it all right now. ]
I just...I'm just not certain anymore.
no subject
no subject
[ She allowed herself to just slide down on her knees. Everything felt painful and overbearing. The sadness, and the sorrows were overwhelming her. ]
...I hope you're right Darres...
no subject
[He offered his hand. Willing to help get her back on her feet. They had to be strong for this.]
no subject
[ She replied giving him a small smile. Ishtar knew that Darres would not hurt her or lie to her. He would do what he could for her. He was a good man, and someone she could rely on. That's why she fell in love with him. His kindness was boundless and his gentleness and care were also boundless. Even for someone like her, she was still happy with what little happiness she had.
She took his hand after a moment. ]
I guess I can't here and do nothing.
