♚ ishtar [ ♥ ] † 2nd † [ game ] video

[xroyal_bratx]

[ Ishtar looked a little worse for wear, but she seemed to be holding on. The past week had been a bit of a disaster to deal with. She wasn't expecting to be chased by monsters and running around like a madman. She was glad that it finally looked better now, even though it probably wasn't. ]

Does this happen often? You know...monsters on the loose, and stuff?

[ She mused. She didn't know how else to approach this situation. ]

Because this is going to be one hell of a stay if it happens often.

[ She raised her brow. Her expression suddenly changing into a more concerned one. ]

Is everyone okay? If anyone needs help dressing wounds, or healing then I can offer my abilities. They're not great, but I can patch you up real well? If you need anything at all, please tell me. I don't mind helping around and about.

Elian, are you alright? Gaara, I haven't seen you at all since the attack. Tell me your location at least. Duzie, I know you're around somewhere, but be careful alright? Hei and Yusuke, you guys are fine right? Sorry I got you guys in a little trouble there when the monsters attacked.

[Fucking hell, Ishtar. Why do you do this to him? DX]

Yes. [His expression dims a little, out of fatigue.] They seem to spawn endlessly.

[Blink, blink.] One of my…?

[xroyal_bratx]

[ Because it's Ishtar and she would do something like this...always? ]

Gaara do you need me to come get you?

[ She mused in a low tone. She knew he looked a little exhausted. She wasn't having anyone passing out right now. ]

I've noticed. I ran into a couple of them.

[ Ishtar pointed to the screen. ]

You said you were fighting monsters right? You can't possibly be doing that and talking to me here unless you used that nifty trick of yours.

[fifth_kazekage]

[You really haven't changed since Fac, have you?]

...For what reason? [He isn't going to admit that he's tired. Nope. No, he can't pass out, because then he would become one of those monsters.] Are you all right?

[He finally gets it.] You are speaking to one of my clones, if that is what you're referring to.

[xroyal_bratx]

[ NOPE not at all. Ishtar was just as bad as she was at Fac and home. ]

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed I guess? Debris almost killed me, and then the door almost fell on me. The hallway was surrounded by those creepy crawling things. A huge one chased me.

I mean what else is new?

[ She replied half joking about it all. ] Perfectly fine, if not a little sleepy.

[ She shrugged. ]

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm gonna have to come bring your butt back down here won't I, seeing you'll exhaust yourself?

[fifth_kazekage]

[Great. Guess Gaara will have to keep a closer eye on her. She always did have a knack for getting into trouble at Fac. Fortunately, there aren't as many experiments here.]

And you managed to escape unscathed? Impressive. [He doesn't want to see any new scars on her body... She already got enough of them after he had been terminated from the facility.]

I have already been fighting for days. [Deadpan look.] I will defend you from harm if you need assistance. But I doubt you will be able to drag me anywhere.

[xroyal_bratx]

[ No there aren't but that didn't mean she would avoid all the trouble. Ishtar wasn't exactly the smartest person. Gaara was right to keep a good eye on her. She would probably get into many dangerous situations. ]

I got cut up a couple of times. Yusuke threw me against the floor another time. Hei saved me from being eaten, Minako and I pretty much just hacked things while running, and then Yu saved me from getting another handful of injuries with that thing of his...

[ She sweat dropped. Ishtar somehow was miraculously saved by someone and getting a few injuries was perfectly fine as long as her life was still intact. ]

Elian passed out though. I'm worried about him...right now. He seemed fine when we parted but...yeah.

[ Anyway..moving on. ]

Impressive...or was it just luck again?

[ She sighed. ]

Gaara, I swear I'm going to find your little butt and take you back with me.

[ She replied in a serious tone. ]

Nothing that a good sleeping spell won't do.

[ She was dead serious Gaara. You're going to have to blame Yujinn for this. ]

I will find you if you don't come down here soon. I know you're trying to protect people and me but you gotta worry about yourself too....hah like I'm one to talk...but still.

[fifth_kazekage]

[Thank goodness his sand shield will work on her, now that they are back in the same place. It sounds like she's going to need all the help she can get.

He's subtly twitching, just from hearing about those incidents.]

Elian...? [Damn.] Which floor is he on? [So he can send a clone his way. So much for not getting involved with people here.]

One cannot rely on luck alone to survive. [Hearing that, Gaara quirks a brow at her.] You can try.

[Scowl.] I cannot sleep. Do not ever try to force me into a state of sleep.

[She would regret putting him to sleep. Shukaku will make sure of it.]

Others are worth worrying over. I am not. I have accepted this fact.

If you intend to ascend once again, tell me. [He'll send a clone to help her.]

[xroyal_bratx]

[ She would need it, but as much as he thinks. Ishtar was a little different from when Gaara remembered her. She probably couldn't get into anymore trouble that that right now. ]

I don't know, but he's on his way over now.

[ She replied. Ishtar would have to leave soon as well, but of course she refused to leave Gaara just yet. ]

Well, it seemed to work for me so far. [ She looks at him with a sigh. ]

Right, right. I forgot you can't sleep. Jeez, you're making this difficult. Can you at least come down to get food and water?

[ She replied. She wasn't giving in just yet. ]

You're being ridiculous again, Gaara. You're just as important as anyone else, and I'm worried about you. It doesn't change.

....How about no? You've already got your hands full.

[fifth_kazekage]

So he is no longer unconscious.

I am not being difficult intentionally. [He just works really hard when the situation calls for it. He is rarely lazy and unproductive.] I will, once my body requires nourishment…

And here, he will just look at her like she said something completely asinine.] You know that isn’t true. [If he was the real Gaara, maybe. But he isn’t. He just happens to have the face and implanted memories of someone with importance. Big difference there.]

If you’re going to insist on being an idiot, then I will simply follow you. [And trust me, he will figure out a way to do it. He is a skilled ninja, after all.] I worry about you as well.

[xroyal_bratx]

No, I made sure he was coming over for a check up.

[ She replied in a serious tone. ]

Sure you aren't. Are you sure that you aren't intentionally making my life more difficult for me?

[ The next set of words came off more like teasing than anything. ]

I mean...right now.

[ She bluntly stated. ] I think it is best for you to come back now to eat and drink something.

[ She added. ]

It's true enough to me. So, stop being difficult and come down here.

[ Forget the memo Gaara? The last time we checked, Ishtar adopted him against his will. Of course, he's important. ]

I'm not the same careless idiot I was years ago. I might be a bit clumsy here and there, but I can promise you that I can hold my ground pretty well. You can even ask Duzie.

[ She replied using someone as evidence. ]

Then we're even. I just hope that you understand, clone or not, you're Gaara, and you're my friend. I don't care what or who you are at this point. To me you're just Gaara, simple as that.

[fifth_kazekage]

[He nods slightly.] Good. If either one of you needs anything, tell me.

[Have a strange look for that, Ish.] No. But if you want me to behave difficult intentionally, I can do so. [He might be quipping back in a not-completely-serious tone.] I would need to take lessons from you, to be effective at it.

[He falls quiet for some time, and then a small smile briefly plays over his lips.] You sound just like them…

[He has no knowledge of this adoption. =/ So nyah.]

…Duzell? [Blink. He remembers who that is. Not terribly fond of him, although Gaara knows how important the cruel vampire is to his friend.] Did he return to the facility after… my termination?

[Some tension eases out of his expression at hearing her words, and he remarks with a slight smirk.] You’ve become more perceptive, Ish.

[xroyal_bratx]

I will, thanks Gaara. You've been helping me out a lot here too.

[ She replied smiling a little. ] No, please don't. I really don't want to result in doing something that I might regret later.

[ There was a nervous laugh from her as she said that. ] Hey, you know I find that offending!

[ She was half joking of course. ] I sound like who?

[ TOO BAD HE'LL LEARN OF IT SOON ENOUGH. ]

Oh...Yeah..Duzell....he's here.

[ She looked away from him, not making much eye contact. ] The...real Duzell.

[ She replied closing her eyes. Duzell was one of those people that Ishtar would forgive, just like anyone else that she was close to. She would never condemn them. ]

No..he didn't, rather I was there with Yujinn most of the time.

[ She added quietly. ]

Hahaha, have I really?
