The Oubliette and Surrounding Corridors, Saturday
There's no hope. No one's coming for you. No one wanted you, that's why you were taken. Except now, even Jareth doesn't want you. No one does. No one's coming. No hope. No hope. No hope no hope no hope nohopenohopenohopenohope...
The three captives had been in Jareth's oubliette for days now, with the mantra getting ever-louder in their ears and minds. Whether it was just a trick to get them to beg Jareth to take them back, or you're just setting an example for the others still left in the throne room remains to be seen. Whatever the case might be, things are looking pretty grim. The constant litany of 'no hope' and 'no one wants you' is getting awfully hard to ignore...

Re: But wait, there's more!
"No..." he insisted. "You don't want to... It sucks here."
Why was she doing this? Why didn't she just go and leave him alone? It was so much better, so much easier that way. And nobody wanted him anyway, so what was she doing coming for him like this?
Re: But wait, there's more!
"Then let's get out of here," she smiled. "There are all kinds of places that don't suck. Pick one. Let's go there."
Re: But wait, there's more!
The hopelessness was still eating at him, oozing in through his pores... but he was a little more himself just now.
Re: But wait, there's more!
Not like he wasn't capable of producing it all on his own.
She reached for the front ruff of his jacket and tugged on it, pulling him close and resting her forehead against his.
"You were gone," she said, her voice trembling. "You were gone, and I couldn't find you. All I wanted was to get my wings out and hurt the person who took you away. I'm here. I found you. If you want to sit here for the rest of your life because you like it here, that's fine, that's your decision. But don't you ever tell me nobody wants you."
Re: But wait, there's more!
He... wasn't alone. For the first time in his life, he'd cared about someone and she HADN'T left him, and had actually come and found him when they were driven apart.
It was cold in that oubliette, but he was feeling warmer.
He wrapped his arms around Rinoa and clung to her as tightly as he could. He was never letting go. Never, ever.
Re: But wait, there's more!
Eventually, they'd get out of here. There were more people to rescue. There was a guy in tight pants that needed to be stopped. There were people back in Fandom who were worried about them both. But right now, she was just going to breathe in and stay right here.
Re: But wait, there's more!
He wasn't alone.
Maybe he wouldn't have to be alone.
He clung to her tightly, a little afraid she might change her mind and leave again.
