[...A feed during the attack? Seriously? There's only a brief glimpse of gold eyes beneath a hood before the SFC is tilted so only one of the kraken's tentacles can be seen. It takes five seconds before a deep, almost blank voice filters through the darkness.]

What do you do when you've been lost to despair. [A pause as disks of light(?) are tossed at it from behind the speaker.] What is it that you do when you lose sight of the hope you'd kept alive until now and realize that you don't have what it takes to protect others by your own power?

[He's silent for a long while, seemingly focused on dodging the retaliatory actions of the attacked appendage... until a black hand suddenly shoots electric shocks of the same white and pale blue energy at a now writhing mass of flesh.]

Tell me... What does one do with oneself then-?!

[Click.]

Yeah, it is.

[He might end up eating his words with this, but...]

You can call if you ever need help. I'll do what I can for you.

A guardian... [That could mean so many things in his world, like the being that just moved ahead of him to block an attack from the front. He just doesn't know what to think about it.]

Yes. And I try to show people the right path.

...Isn't it for them to decide if the path's right or wrong?

Of course. I offer them a choice. I merely guide them. I don't make decisions for them.

Now why does this sound familiar...

How so?

[Maybe, maybe not.]

You sound like you've got enough on your plate as it is.

[Must not chuckle must not chuckle must not accidentally give someone else + self nightmares for a week...]

Nothing. Just an old memory.

Old memories? I see. From your life back home?

[There's none of the calm or deliberate thinking of Zexion in Rep's voice. It'd take a lot more than a change of body to make him sound like The Cloaked Schemer.]

Just- [His body started to glow with Illusion magic.] Just leave me alone, alright?

'I don't want you to see me like this - stuck like this.'

Still... it's never too much to help a friend.

[~~Blame being a protag.~~]

You're right, and I can't let the others down, either.

[Lowering the hood, it's all he can do to keep his expression schooled into a neutral one. "Ansem" notices far too easily the differences, and while he's mastered the same speech patterns and abilities as the Heartless there is but one difference.]

Calm down. Frustration will only make it worse.

[--Damn that random, incredibly vague sense of compassion.]

Not now. I can't think about this right now--

[He steps back once, and collapses into a kneeling position.]

If I'd known this would happen...

[He stops dead in his tracks, recognizing this scene far too well. He remembers the hatred, the anger directed at the person this power originally belongs to and in a sense, still does. With the both of them here, however... he has to wonder just how this would effect the two different entities. One he despised with the entirety of this being he resided in, and the other...]

Did you have a choice?

If you can call it that.

[His head snaps up plaintively.] YES!

... But I wanted to hurt it, as much as I possibly could. And I knew what he was capable of - what I was capable of if channeled his power.

I don't know how this came from doing that.

That's a difficult question to answer...

[She scratches her head awkwardly.]

I guess....all you really can do is keep moving forward. Even if you don't have what it takes to protect the people you care about, it feels a lot worse to know you didn't do all you could for them.

A life is a life, Riku. What you experienced was real. Your friends are real. And this is real.

You stop making stupid entries and start putting your weight in. You may not have noticed but there is a damn--

[oh man, Jim is cursing. That means things are srs business.]

kraken attacking this place. People are getting hurt, so post-pone your little existential crisis and help out.

Wouldn't it be wise to share that burden with others? [a beat] Even if one loses hope, it is possible to find it again.

[Yeah, she should know... even though she died discovering it again.]

Maybe. [If they can even consider me their friend when I look like this...] Memories are a fickle thing.

Memories can lie, I know. But the friends you trust the most...the bond you have with them doesn't lie. It never goes away.

[He sighs, shaking his head before approaching again to kneel down beside the younger of the two. Yet he still refrains from reaching out, almost as if he's afraid he'll...]

Then you shouldn't regret what comes of it. Who knows? Maybe once this is over, you'll find a way out of this.
