002 Acts of Kindness

Characters: Darres & Anyone
Setting: Floor 3 (Library), 10 (Aquarium), 19 (Sec. Library)
Format: Either
Summary: Darres is going about some of his usual routines around the tower.
Warnings: None?

[Floor 3 (Library)]
[Darres was in here for the same reason he always came to this floor. The knight was in search for some decent, non-dark story books to read to Quark. The knight was even more protective of the child than he use to be. Having the kid die in his arms, anyone would become more caring of another. While death was not permanent here, it still pang him that he wasn't able to prevent it. The best he could do was try to keep the kid from slipping into the darkness that the tower taunted its residents with. This round, Darres was in search of particularly happy stories he could read to Quark. He could be found around the library collecting books.]


[Floor 10 (Aquarium)]
[The aquarium was more therapeutic for the knight than anything. He was continually rattled as his stay here grew longer. Back home he wasn't quite so useless as he was finding himself to be here. He wanted to save those who wanted it. Darres wants to help those who couldn't help themselves, but he was finding it to be rather difficult with how he was thwarted.

The knight was peacefully stationed in part of the aquarium where the fish roamed freely. Jumping from tank to tank and going about their business as if he wasn't here. There was a certain beauty to them that he found to be soothing. It was a nice break from the chaos that constantly plagued the tower. He himself was almost at peace?]


[Floor 19 (Second Library)]
[Darres decided it was time he really buckled down and hit the books to better his knowledge of things outside of his world. He wasn't sure how long he was going to be away from it, and as far as he was concerned, knowledge was a useful tool in various situations. The knight was diligently digging through the science portion of the library trying to better himself in the science field. From what he's gathered, the tower was full of this theme.]

[ At some point during the excursion of book learning, Ishtar appeared and let's say she was quick to help Darres out doing what he was doing. She didn't mind it, and after all the events of the past two or so weeks, she wanted to spend more time with him. They were rather distant since he got here and it was mostly because Ishtar kept herself in a small bubble and pushed people away.

She didn't want to do that but at that time she was still worried about people leaving, and abandoning her. She didn't like being alone and she couldn't bear being on her own. She struggled too much and if she lost Darres too, she'd be done. She'd stop caring, stop giving a fuck. Everything would have been numb. Instead, she pushed those feelings aside for the ime being and helping Darres gather books. ]

[ Ishtar continued to pull a book here and a book there because it was easier to read about stuff she didn't know about. She was carefree, but a lot of things changed that. She still had her carefree nature. It was a lot more controlled however, and less troublesome. She pulled another book and then turned towards his reading self and smiles. ]

Yeah, it's fine Darres.

[ She smiled. She carried the stack of book over to him and plops right next to him. ]

Floor 3

[Sephiroth is in the Library for one of the more usual activities as well. The tall silver haired man is sat at one of the terminals, sat back on the chair and scrolling through the days new network posts. The lighting from the screen, and the lighting of the library itself gleams off his pauldrons.

He won't post anything, in fact hardly ever does unless he's in a particularly tolerable mood. A lot of the drabble that other residents post up bores him almost to tears but the network is always worth a check in case.

At a noise behind him he sits forward and turns to look back over his shoulder at Darres picking a book up off a nearby shelf. He frowns momentarily but then it vanishes, though he doesn't take his eyes off the other man he recognizes him from that day up at his Dormitory. With Ishtar.]
neverbeamemory: (Intrigued)

[personal profile] neverbeamemory 2013-09-11 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's perfectly normal to feel like you're imposing. This is the default vibe Sephiroth generally gives off when around those he hardly knows. Strangers, especially strangers behind you could mean anything, after all. No, not paranoid much. Cautious. Even if Sephiroth is confident he could defend himself against every other resident.]

Hmph. Not at all. [He speaks over an armored shoulder.]

[Apparently satisfied, at least for the immediate moments that Darres is not a threat, Sephiroth turns more in the seat to look over the other man. Or rather what the other man is doing.]


Light reading?

[He isn't sure why he's in here, actually. Not to say he isn't actually kind of... glad he found himself in this incredibly fascinating place. His eyes scan the right side of the room with an incredibly fascinated expression. After a couple of minutes, he begins walking further in.

Oh! ... Did that fish just jump from one aquarium to the next...?

The black-haired Deadman had let out a slightly surprised sound at that, considering it literally happened right in front of his face. Seriously, some water even splashed on his forehead.
]

Wh-what the...?

[personal profile] woodpeckermaruta 2013-09-11 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Ganta quickly glanced to the person he quickly realized he'd never seen, before. He blinked at the word, though. Carnivorous? ... Right, look at where they are. Why wouldn't they house flesh-eating fish?]

Uh... right. [He was moving just a bit closer to the stranger, hands in pockets with a forced calm expression. Ganta removed a hand to scratch the back of his head.]

I'm Ganta, by the way.

[He watched the fish, quietly, after that. It was always nice to have a moment in a relatively calm setting.]

[personal profile] desireforchange 2013-09-10 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Luke was actually there just to look around. The redhead was in desperate need of things to keep his mind busy, and what better way that to find a (hopefully attention-grabbing) book to read. Luke didn't actually mind reading. It was just very difficult for a book to actually hold his attention for more than ten minutes, at a time. At that point, though, he was willing to try anything.

One of the books actually land Luke, however, nose-deep into it. So much so, that he was suddenly not paying any attention to where he was going.

Which was why he ran into the poor, unsuspecting individual.

[personal profile] desireforchange 2013-09-11 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Luke blinked as it had felt almost similar to bumping into a pole. Taking a couple of steps back, he blinked at the guy apologizing.]

Huh? I was the one that bumped into you, though...

Shouldn't I be the one apologizing?

[ Urotsuki hangs around a lot on the aquarium floor and other floors near it. So she's today there too, even if there's some other guy - but she doesn't seem to pay attention to him. She's walking around as if he isn't even there, walking right up to the water and the fish...

... but then she suddenly turns into rainbow colors out of nowhere. Welp. ]
chainsawn: (and your voice that calls my name)

[personal profile] chainsawn 2013-09-12 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The fish seem to be reacting to the light, moving away from her. She tests is out a little, moving around the area with the fish, but they always stay away from her. It continues for a while - quite a few minutes - and it's only then that she slowly turns to look at Darres, going back to normal. The expression on her face is extremely blank though as she slowly blinks at him. ]

[How fitting it is, then, that when Darres rounds his way around another corner for what is surely the umpteenth time in his book collecting, he'll discover Quark himself. They boy's holding a book and reading the description on the back. There's a puzzled look on his face, like he's not really sure how to absorb the information.]

But why would there be an entire world in a wardrobe? [He murmurs to himself, sounding frustrated.] Is it a really big wardrobe or just a really tiny world? And why did nobody notice it before?

[He wonders if the world smelled funny, like old fuzzies and dust and junk.]
averytinyparticle: (ain't nobody got no time for that)

[personal profile] averytinyparticle 2013-09-13 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Quark turns his distressed pout up at Darres, who still seems to tower over him even when he's kneeling, when the man makes his presence known.]

This book sounds really illogical and I don't get it.

[He holds it up higher, so Darres can read it, too.]

It talks about magical creatures and stuff which I guess I can believe, since there are a bunch of people in the Tower that aren't human and who have powers...but I'm not sure that I can believe that a closet can act as a gateway to a completely different dimension.

[Quark blinks. Hey...maybe if he thought of it in terms of devices and portals, it could be sciencey. He pauses. Nah. It was still way too silly. No scientist worth their salt would hang up their coats in the same place that they had built something so important.]

bloodlessons: (♰ Give you a message.)

floor 10.

[personal profile] bloodlessons 2013-09-16 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Darres wasn't the only one who found this floor comforting, ever since he had encountered Urotsuki here last month he's been finding himself here more and more. It probably helped that he was from a desert country. Sure they bordered the sea but it wasn't like he had visited it before siding with Chrom...

He might have snuck in next to the knight, it wasn't like he was trying to be secretive. Henry was just naturally like that if he had nothing to say, but he does start humming to himself soon enough.]
bloodlessons: (♰ Why should I stop~?)

[personal profile] bloodlessons 2013-09-17 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Then it works out for both of them! He'll continue his observations, occasionally following the trail of one of the smaller fish with his finger playfully.

At least until one of the larger fish decides to jump between the walls of water, Henry nearly caught in the way.]
Yowza! A little more warning next time!

[Great, now he's landed on his bum.]

[Darres will hear footsteps coming from the far side of the aquarium floor, and if he happens to be looking through some of the water, he might see the slightly distorted figure of a girl on the other side. But then she steps around it and stops suddenly when she sees him.]

Oh! I didn't realize there was anyone else here...

[She smiles a little.] I hope I'm not bothering you.

[That's alright, because Sheba is quite used to people who fall under the "men of few words" category. If she could handle Felix, she can handle Darres.]

That's good. Most of the fish here are really nice, aren't they? And some of them don't look anything like the fish from my world.

[She giggles and reaches a hand up to pass it into the water, because she's pretty sure if one of the more violent fish swims up and tries to eat her she can pull it back in time.] Are any of these from your world?
