[...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-?!

[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.'

[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?

[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.

[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.

Once what's over?

[Sorry bro, you lost him and he doesn't follow logic trains well on the best of days.]

... At least there's one more way to tell you two apart.

[As for answering, he points up. The kraken, genius.]

[He glares up first, then to the side. He speaks in a very deliberate tone, clearly angry but so much so that volume won't help anymore.]

I'm not going to just wait for it to go away like last time. I have his powers; I should be able to fix this.

[There's a faint hint of a chuckle that's quickly covered by a cough. Goddamn the horrid that is this voice...! Yet the faint amusement behind the amber is still rather apparent.]

There's a limit on what power alone can accomplish.

Oh spare me. [He stands up.] Don't tell me you got his mouth along with that face? [Then he crosses his arms and turns away.] What else could possibly fix this?

[Angry, he turns around again with a slashing motion.] Your situation is different from mine. Maybe power can't fix why that keeps happening to you. And maybe power can fix why this has happened to me once.

[He shakes slightly with silent laughter the moment he turned away. It really was like a younger him in this case, and it reminds him of how much of a brat he once was.] If I got his mouth, all that would be coming out of it is "blah blah darkness blah blah abyss."

[He tilts his head to the side faintly, then waves it off to the side.] I only hope you're right and that it doesn't get worse.

[Now there's an incredulous look if ever there was one.]

Worse how?

You could start acting like him instead of just looking the part.

Guess it's a good thing we're nothing alike.

... Although freaking him out doesn't sound half bad.

[Rep, he'll apologize for it later, but he really cannot help the laugh that escapes his mouth.]

You better remember to record it, then.

[He laughs back, even if it is Zexion's voice.]

Oh, maybe - if I remember.

Amusement aside... [His face grows serious once more.] Sometimes practical jokes aren't worth losing yourself in the process.

That's why it's called pretend.

[Yep. Just going to stand here, secretly amused.] Is it?

Of course. I'd have to spend a week holed up in a library just to begin turning into him for real.

I don't think staying in the library would actually do a thing.

[He would know. He tried that in Hollow Bastion.]

Heh, you're probably right.

... Guess I should go.

Mm. I should, too. [He pauses, giving the replica one more look.]

...If you need somewhere to stay, there are five empty rooms where I reside. [Cruel irony, and the admittance that another scent he'd become familiar with was no longer here.]
