2nd ❋♛❋ [ game ] | video

I wanted to apologize for my lack of responsibility for the past month. It seems like there had been a lot happening and I haven't been able to work properly with the hospital.

Needless to say, I'm here if anyone needs me. To everyone new here, my name is Ishtar. I'm a healer and a medic. I work at the Genessia Hospital. I specialize in healing mostly. I also know a bit of things here and there if you want to ask questions. If there's anything you need me to to do, let me know.

[ she replied with a brief smile o her face as she greeted people gently. ]

Otherwise hello old faces and welcome new ones! I hope everyone's doing well.

On top of that, I was wondering if anyone had any spare time to spar with me or cook? I would like to get better at both of them. Of course, I'll repay your help with something! Let me know

Thanks!

I could spar with you.

I can't guarantee you'll live after, but who knows.

Kindly declining you.

I'm not looking to die, asshole.

Are you sure? It sounds like fun.

I promise to make it really really hurt. Just cause I like you.

I have no intention of playing around with a prick who doesn't care about how he treats other people.

I don't need your twisted affection, Lucifer. Just take that and shove it somewhere.

I care about them. About what makes them hurt, depressed and dead.

I'm hurt. And here I am even sending you a gift. Make sure to check with the clerks in the hospital.

That's exactly my point. You know I hate to judge people, but you really put the capital J in 'Judgement.'

[ She narrowed her eyes at him. ]

I'm sure that some poor soul out there loves you and you disturbing personality. I--....what?!

What sort of crap are you pulling now?

[He simply laughs at her words.]

You'll see. I want to thank you for the support you're giving Sailor Venus with regards to the elections. I am kind after all, so I'm sending you a gift.

You-- what did you do?

[ She's really narrowing her eyes now that she's hearing him talk about her initial conversation with another person. ]

... I don't want your sickened gifts. For all I know it might be something horrendous. For your information, no one wants to have someone like you rule their lives.

It has been a weird month, huh?

[Just trying to sound as casual as possible about all this. Because yeah, less said on turning into a scared child the better.]

I'm always willing to have a spar with you, if you're up for it?

Yeah it's been a pretty weird month. How are you doing?

[ She replied as she greeted the red head. She didn't know how to approach him in regards to that, but she was going to treat him like she always had. ]

O-oh really? That sounds great. I'm totally up for it. I need to get better at this and I've been out of practice.

Aw, you're worried about me? That's so sweet~

Managed to get a job at a café in town, so not doing too badly. All the better for hearing from you~

How're you holding up, anyway?

[The fact that she didn't seem to be treating him differently was certainly appreciated.

Still, he gave a gesture to the shortsword at his belt as he spoke. Even now, he still kept it with him for self-defence.]

Weeeeell, I am a swordsman. Didn't know you were interested in fighting though?

Well of course. You're my housemate and my friend, silly.

[ Among other reasons too but she's not going to make it anymore awkward than it is. After all, she did have a knack for dealing with children. Zelos happened to be a kid for a while and it weirded her out, but she was not going to question why he was the way he was. ]

I'm glad to hear that you got a job. Hopefully it pays enough. Are you having fun with it as well?

[ She tilted her head. She thought for a moment. ]

I'm doing alright-- just dealing with a certain person....angel, really.

[ jabbing her nerves that one. ]

O-Oh, I had to learn how to in a place I used to be stuck at so I have some basic skills but they're not as great as I want them to be. I kind of need to get back into shape. Magic can only do so much for a girl you know? Yes, of course, I remember.

[She considered him a friend? Zelos...wasn't sure he believed her. Still, she seemed concerned enough for him as a child when he couldn't hide his feelings, so...maybe. Maybe there was a small chance she was being genuine. He didn't want to get his hopes up, though.]

I'm touched~

Yeah, job's going pretty well thanks and I'm getting enough money to keep me going. The boss is pretty laid back, thankfully.

[Angels, again? ... Yeah, even if she gave a damn about him now, she'd probably be a bit less friendly if she knew the truth about him.]

Guessing this is the same pissy one as before? Jeeze, you have the worst luck with Angels, huh? As I said, they're pretty much all selfish, untrustworthy gits in my experience.

[Himself included.]

Well I'm happy to help you out a bit~ How about we meet up after work and have a little match? ...Although, I'm curious. Does this mean you know some other magic too, or is it mostly healing magic?

[ He honestly seemed to have a tough past like she did and she couldn't help but empathize with it. She knew that he wasn't really the best person but he wasn't a bad person. She could tell now if people gave off bad vibes and the whole angel thing is a huge situational thing. Lucifer did not treat her well, thus she did not like him, but she wasn't going to paint all the angels the same colour. If Zelos proved himself to be different, she was more than willing to protect him and be his friend. ]

Haha, really? Do you not have a lot of friends?

[ She mused giving the young man a head tilt. ]

I'm really glad you have a good boss to work with. Jobs can be a bit tough but as long as you can get by, I don't see what the problem is, hehe. Oh, yeah the same one. He's just being really annoying is all. Nothing too big. Well, I dunno. I mean he's been pretty bad but I've met another Angel a long time ago and he was pretty pleasant and friendly.

[ She replied. Oh, she sort of missed conversing with Gabriel. haha. ]

Sure, I can do that. Can you shoot me a message or a call when you're off. I don't know your schedule and where should we meet? Oh-- yes of course. Healing is the one I use the most, but I have some defensive and offensive types of magic under my belt. My magic teacher was really tough on me when I told him that I wanted to seriously learn again.

[Ishtar's kindness never ceased to surprise him. Considering his utter failure to get his teammates to trust him, though, his ability to trust others in return was clouded. Logic would dictate that complaining about one angel did not mean she saw all of them as selfish, hurtful beings, but he could not see that.

Still...he found that recently, he at least enjoyed Ishtar's company, and didn't really want to see her hurt.]

Not many as sweet as you, beautiful.

[Smooth and practiced as always...but truth be told, she was right.]

Yeah, it's definitely not so bad, you know? Been getting along with it pretty well so far. How's your work been treating you?

...Oh yeah? What was that angel like?

[He hoped it wasn't one of Cruxis. Then again, none of the four Seraphim fit the description 'pleasant and friendly', so probably not.]

Will do, but I normally finish about 4 if that's cool with you.

Niiiice one, sounds like you're more dangerous than you give yourself credit for~

[ Ishtar was a strangely self-sacrificing person and that won’t ever change. Ishtar didn’t seem to look at people’s past as much as others and trust is a hard thing to have. Even for her, she had a hard time trusting some people recently due to her own personal experiences, but she was trying. She would have to prove it to him if he ever brought it up, but for now she would focus on taking care of her house mates to the best of her abilities ]

…Ahaha, you really like to flatter people don’t you?

[ She chuckled a little. ]

I’m just me, really. [ She replied shaking her head. ] I’m happy that it’s been good for you and well I’ve been busy here and there but it’s not too bad. I’m glad the hospital is back and running again. Though, Duzie has an issue of pushing his patients over to me so my work load doubles as the guy lazes around.

[ She made a face at him. ]

He’s kind of sarcastic, friendly and sweet. He was kind of protective in his own right. He’s also really helpful and stuff. Actually, I learned he was an angel recently.

[ Not that she knows of to be honest. ]

That sounds perfect. I’ll be getting off soon myself haha. Well, I’m not quite sure. I just learned enough to protect myself honest.

[The effort was certainly appreciated, even if it was not something Zelos was accustomed to.]

Only people who deserve it~

[Well, it sounded as if her work was back on course as well.]

So everything got cleared up, then? Man, sounds as if he needs to do his own work for a change...you're too nice taking it all of his hands like that~

[Zelos paused as she talked about this other angel. Nope, probably not one of Cruxis. 'Friendly' didn't really fit Yuan, Kratos or Mithos, even on a good day.]

Huh...sounds a bit different to the pissy one who's been throwing a fit lately. That guy doesn't strike me as that helpful from what you've said.

Sounds good to me~ And well, guess I'll have to see for myself.

[He winked.]

Well, looking forward to it.

I'd always be glad to cook with you.

Did you need me to help out at the hospital again?

[ Ishtar tries. That's all there is to it really and it's fine. He doesn't have to get used to it. Ishtar's just Ishtr is all. ]

Haha, thanks I suppose.

[ She laughed. He's a really strange guy all together really. ]

Yeah for the most part. Yeah he does but I can't force him to do what he doesn't want to do. He tries at least sometimes when I give him that look you know~ Haha, I love helping people but you know sometimes I think about if I'm really doing it for everyone else and not to just make me feel better...

[ She mused looking off to the side. ]

Yeah he's tons different. He's kind of sarcastic too. No, he's not. Alright, I suppose so. I'll see you after work then Zelos. Me too!

Thanks Falan. Maybe we can make dinner for the boys when they get back.

[ She shook her head. ]

Nah, I'm not really that overwhelmed yet. You got your own job too don't you?

[Ishtar is Ishtar and Zelos is...well, Zelos. He'll get there, eventually.]

You know, I'd think it was stranger if you just helped for everyone else's sake. Nothing wrong with doing it for selfish reasons too, you know.

[Lighthearted as the comment was, when Zelos' said that his tone sounded more straightforward, perhaps even genuine - his voice not marked by his usual flirtatious banter.

In some ways, the idea that Ishtar was, in part, showing kindness to satisfy herself made him a little more comfortable. That she wasn't an entirely selfless being - something he knew could not exist. It meant he felt less guilty for the kindness that she offered him.]

Sounds interesting...But anyway, my break's nearly over so I'd better get back to work. See you later, Ishtar~

Edited 2014-10-18 19:54 (UTC)

I think they'd like that.

Well yes.. but that's pretty slow at the moment. I'm still trying to figure things out.

[ That is honestly true and that's all you can really think about really. ]

I want people to be happy and safe. That's more important to me than anything. I really don't have any particular reason to help people, but it's had when people think you have a motive behind it.

[ She shrugged. ]

Maybe that might be true, but I don't really want to be like that.

[ Ishtar takes note of the way he said his words and he lets hi know what she's really thinking. Ishtar doubts herself a lot but she really just wants to make people happy. It's just always hard trying to do that and failing miserably time and time again.

Sometimes it might be that helping others helps fill a void in her own heart, so she thinks about it a lot more differently than others. Still, Zelos is right, maybe she does have thoughts like that. Her kindness to him was because she saw a lot of herself in him when he was stuck as a kid. It reminded her of how lonely she was and how hurtful it must have been to be like that. She was selfless but sometimes she cold be selfish but she had to push that away. ]

Alright, I'll see you later!

[ When Zelos got off of work, Ishtar was sitting there waiting for him. She was prepared for the fun sparring they would be doing since she needed it a lot and on the way here, she had a lot to think about as she made her way to his work.

Ishtar had Sidia strapped at her waist and her hair in a long ponytail. She poked around quietly as she waited for Zelos. ]

I sure hope so. We got lots of stuff we have to buy though, Falan.

I bet it is but it's okay. You can take your time. It's hard being new to this place and still trying to adjust.

Edited 2014-10-27 08:16 (UTC)

[Learning how to tell when Zelos was actually being serious and genuine was an art in itself - if Ishtar could do that, that would probably go a long way. Zelos, for the most part, was primarily a selfish man. At least, that's how he saw himself.

After Zelos' shift was finally over, he slipped into the back room to get changed into a loose pair of trousers and tanktop - much more suitable for a fight than his work uniform. His own shortsword hung at his waist, a small, new-looking shield resting on his arm. Since the vampire incident a few days before, Zelos had come to the conclusion that picking one up again was probably a sensible idea.

Seeing Ishtar waiting, he offered her a bright smile and a wave as he headed over.]

Heeey, Ishtar~ I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long?

[ It was indeed a genuine art, but of course Ishtar would go through with what she's devoted to doing. Even if it's a bit of stranger that she is spending her time with. He's not so much a stranger anymore, but she still doesn't know much about him.

Ishtar smiled as he approached her after his work Good. She didn't get lost miserably this time. ]

Hey there. Not at all. I just got here a few minutes ago. Are you sure you'll be okay to spar?

Well, maybe we should get started then.

[It probably didn't help that Zelos had a tendency to avoid discussing much of anything about his life back home, aside from claiming to be a travelling swordsman. Somehow, the subject always got casually brushed off when it came up.]

Yup, totally up for it if you are? I mean, I'm kinda hoping you won't try to kill me outright? If it was Duzell I'd be more worried.

[He laughed cheerfully. Thankfully for him, most of the wounds from the attack had been healed up.

Not that he'd admit to having healing magic himself, of course. ]

Of course, Falan. We should!

[ She grabs a hold of her cousin and moves her towards the kitchen. ]

[ Yes, but Ishtar doesn't help by asking about it sometimes, but it is what it is. She'll wait patiently to talk with him again when they have a chance to. ]

I am. I really need to practice again or I'll forget everything.

[ She replied getting up from her leaning position. I can't really kill you, since I'm not that skilled, Zelos. I don't intend to hurt anyone. Duzie would be pretty harsh about some things. Really, don't mind the grump guy.

[ She replied stretching now. ] Alright, where's a good place to spar?

So what should we make first?

[Following her to the kitchen with a smile.]

Something light, maybe a good ol' salad with some hearty ingredients and then dive into the main dish?

[ She replied as Falan followed her. Ishtar was pretty open about how excited she was. ]

That would probably be a good idea. I can get started on that if you'd like to work on the main dish.

Yeah once I figure out if we're going to have chicken or beef?

[ She turns to Falan. ] Which one do you want to try and I want to help too. Can't let you do all the work there, sweetie.

Edited 2014-11-22 08:43 (UTC)

How about chicken?

[She's already started.]

Oh, I don't mind. I've had fun learning how to cook while I've been here. I'd just like to pull my weight around here too.

[Which may come soon enough, all things considered.]

Aw, come on, give yourself a little more credit~

[He chuckled, before heading over to her.]

I guess the local park'd work, if you're up for that? Not too far from here either.

[ Yeah that is true too. ]

Ah, well I'm pretty confident about a lot of thngs that aren't combat.

[ she laughed nervously. ]

Okay. Shall we take a walk over there?
