43 - voice/action for castmates

[stilldontgotit]

[When Riku went to visit Sora that morning, he found nothing but an empty room. He didn't need to think twice to figure out what happened. And... heh, for the third time since he arrived in Luceti, too.

It's upsetting, but Riku tends to keep his feelings bottled up a lot of the time. Doesn't help that he's finally snapped out of experimental stupor and still feels... something. But that doesn't matter right now. Today, he's going to address the journal to spread the news. First, he'll address the others from their universe with a quick filter...]

[Filtered to House 39 (BBS house) // 100% Unhackable]

Guys, we should talk. That goes for all of you. Just drop by House 14, if you can. It should be visible now.

[/Filter]

[After they meet and discuss everything, he'll finally address the village at large.]

Looks like Sora's gone home again. I know he had a lot of friends, so I... just thought I'd pass it on.

[ooc: The whole cast may be responding to voice replies! Just a quick heads-up.]

[...oops. He's just going to cling a little tighter.]

We just...we have to work harder to make it make sense. [It's his default answer. He felt safer pretending to have a strategy. What good would it do to tell Xion that he was terrified of what was going to happen next and that he didn't understand any of it?]

They've gotta come back. Both of them.

[fourteen]

Even if they do, what if they don't remember? I don't... [ She trails off into silence, again. Darkness, it hurts. ]

[perplexme]

[...yeah, at least with him it's easier. Sora, of course, there's always the possibility that Sora won't know about him and that would really suck, but Axel...Axel always remembered him. But for someone like Xion...]

If they don't, I'll beat it into their memories. I'm not going to let them forget again.

[ She actually smiles, though it's fleeting and sad. ]

Roxas, you can't just beat up every problem.

[perplexme]

And why not? That's worked out so far.

[fourteen]

Because there are some problems you can't fight.

[perplexme]

This one I'm going to fight as long as I can. It isn't fair...I'm not letting it be like this.

[fourteen]

Roxas... stop. You can't.

[perplexme]

...it's all I've got left. [It's all he can do without falling completely apart.] So what can I do? What can we do?

[fourteen]

... wait, Roxas. We have to just ... wait for them to come back.

[perplexme]

...I'm so tired of waiting. [But that's all he says. He knows she's right, and he knows he doesn't have to say she's right.]

[fourteen]

I know. Me, too. [ Xion just stays with him, tired down into her bones, and wishes it was better. ]

[perplexme]

[They're going to be down there for a while, aren't they.] ...wait with me then. Maybe...maybe it won't be so bad if we're waiting together.
