♔ day 12 - Memory Theater curse ♔





[ooc: Viewers will see the full memory as depicted in video #1, but since I play Roxas with his English voice + dialogue in mind, both are here for reference; the memory sequence takes place from 3:47-4:24 in the second video.]

It's your call, Roxas. But at least it's out there.

I already have friends I trust. I don't need you.

I think you've made that clear. The offer's out there, and that's all it was.

I'm not taking it.

[identity profile] binarysky.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
A curse is what put this thing up for everyone to see. I wouldn't do that.

Oh! Right... I remember. [Kind of forgot how it started, shh!] There are a lot of these today, but it doesn't seem like its the only weird thing happening.

[I had to check too]

I guess weirdness can be...weird.

[identity profile] notsobendy.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Laughs] Tell me about it.

1/3

[identity profile] faroffdream.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't?

I mean...I knew that...I did. They told me.

[identity profile] faroffdream.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't like it.

I don't...want it to be like that.

Those feelings weren't mine...in Twilight Town.

So...

And what about Axel? What about---

[ Some nervous shuffling is so audible here but then his words are hurried as if he's trying to cover up that shuffle. ]

Didthat---doyouremem---

...what were you looking for?

[ As with Riku, Roxas knows he should shove off this unwanted commentary from unwelcome people, but he doesn't have the energy. He doesn't look back and remember feeling sad or confused or any of those feelings he doesn't fully understand.

He was born as a Nobody not realizing what he was, but at that moment, Xemnas had not needed to tell him he could not feel. He'd known. There had been nothing else to know but the overwhelming emptiness. ]

[identity profile] binarysky.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't...know.

I don't remember anything before that.

[ Because I think that's when I was born. ]

1/2

[identity profile] faroffdream.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
So that's...

Maybe that's when...

...

[identity profile] faroffdream.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I wish I had something....you know---useful to tell you.

[ pause, because he knows Roxas reportedly isn't interested in anything he or Riku has to say anyway but that's not really what would stop Sora from trying to say something if he had anything worth saying ]

I'm sorry? But...I had to---

Riku probably knows more about it though.

[ and in the same vein as Riku's offer himself, Sora points out that likelihood, not thinking it might just be annoying to have another Maybe shoved in one's face ]

There's...nothing to tell. I didn't—there was no me to know before then.

Not like I am now.

1/3 ....i think

[identity profile] faroffdream.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
I guess not...

Except that------we're a part of each other....aren't we?

It can't just work the one way...

It wouldn't make sense.

[identity profile] faroffdream.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
But what am I even thinking?

Why didn't I think about it before!?

3/4 [apparently fails at predicting how many she will need]

[identity profile] faroffdream.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
No, but....this isn't how--

Even if I told you that though, I couldn't tell you how it....what happened along the way....

➥audio➥➥

[identity profile] faroffdream.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
But do you think this is how you're always going to be?

Is it what you want?

[ That's...Roxas doesn't know how he should answer that question, if he even can, and thinking about the answer distracts him from the matter of who's asking it.

It's almost a silly question, isn't it? Because Nobodies...they barely exist. Is there really a will be when there's not an is? ]

[ But if they build Kingdom Hearts, then they can have them. They'll be whole. Real people, human again, even if he can't remember being one before.

Will he be Somebody instead of Nobody? He wants to, it's what he's fighting for, but can he even say he knows what that means?

Not really. Even now he's working on blind faith. ]

I don't...know.

[ What was it he'd told Xion? When they have hearts, they'll be able to judge better. They'll comprehend for themselves, because they can comprehend. Like real people. ]

We'll understand later.

[ And he slips into the plural without thinking about it, because it's never just him, I, Roxas. Him and Xion and Axel against the world. That's how it's almost always been, and how it should be. ]

[ Sora's never been big into details, more of a 'whole picture' kind of guy and it's worked for him, overall. No one can say otherwise, but now he's realizing it's never that simple, even if it would be nice if it was. Some things are, but not everything. Definitely not this, this....thing he doesn't even have a word for.

Somehow it feels wrong to think of Roxas as a Nobody even though that is what he is. It's not necessarily who he is though...or so Sora must believe. Because of Axel. Because of Roxas himself who cares enough to want to 'understand'.

Sora doesn't get it. He wouldn't claim to. He can barely wrap his head around holding this conversation.

But it's important not to run, and that's something he does get...has gotten from the beginning. ]
