Twelfth ★ [Video | Filtered from Aqua]

[...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-?!

[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.

[Action]

[boundbynaught.livejournal.com]

That's why it's called pretend.

[Action]

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

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

[Action]

[boundbynaught.livejournal.com]

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

[Action]

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

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.

[Action] 2/2

[boundbynaught.livejournal.com]

... Guess I should go.

[Action]

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

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.]

[For a moment, Rep just stared in confusion at the offer. He didn't even consider whether he did or didn't want to take Riku up on it - he was still balking a little that Riku made the offer in the first place. It was just another way of showcasing how much things had changed.

He blinked, and finally shook Zexion's bangs out of his eyes a bit.]

I... would need to bring the dog.

[Well, it wasn't really like he had much else to offer him, and other than the reaction being priceless it was sincere. Even if he considered it selfish, not wanting to be alone in such a large apartment and sentimentally unable to leave it after all this time. ...Yes, definitely changed.

The comment got a small chuckle out of him.]

So long as he doesn't go after the kitten...

[Action]

[boundbynaught.livejournal.com]

It- he was Ven's dog. For awhile I didn't even know if he knew how to bark.

[Still not exactly an admission to coming over later that night...]

Guess we'll have to see how it goes.

[The animals' relationship or theirs?]

[Action]

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

I see...

[Even if it isn't, the offer will still remain on the table.]

Mm. Good luck.
