World Refugees Final Mix

Hey Roxas,
you sound a little down. Is something bothering you?

From:

'A little down' down is putting it mildly...

[Locked to Song]

You saw Sora's post about how I was going to poke around and see what Hades was up to, right? Well... I kind of lost my nerve. And it's frustrating. I already knew I was taking a risk. Why did actually being down there and starting to look around a bit make that much of a difference?

From:

[locked to Roxas]
You know, I had a very similar experience when I talked to Calum the second time. I knew it was risky, I knew I was probably going to provoke him a bit, and I wasn't scared... until he actually started using that dark magic of his. Then, suddenly, I was almost panicking, and I've stayed away from him since.

I think it's just part of having a heart, Roxas. Even I can't explain exactly why it happens, when you know you're heading into danger. There is a difference between knowing something and actually seeing it up close, though.

It's nothing to be ashamed of. Your friends aren't going to think any less of you. Next time you have to do something like that, it would probably be easier if you take a friend or two along to back you up. Sora never fights alone if he can help it, you know.

From:

((OoC: ... Although that's only because he would've needed the therapy if he had gone through with the snooping... damn subject line not holding enough text...))

I guess that makes sense.

It made so much sense to go ahead call Hades on not revealing the prize if he had nothing to hide... when I was reading a comment on a computer screen and I know Sora's gotten away with telling him off in person, but... Then again, Sora wasn't alone then.

I guess I have a lot to work out.

From:

You'll figure yourself out.
I won't say don't worry about it, because it probably won't be easy. You might make mistakes and overreact, say things you shouldn't, hurt yourself or someone else... (and this is all speaking from fairly recent experience)
But I believe you're strong enough to handle it. And you've got plenty of friends who really care about you. You're a lucky guy.

From:

No, it won't be easy.

I must have inherited a little optimism from Sora, because I do think this will work out.

From:

Optimism's a great thing.

So, have you been talking to Namine much?

From:

It has its faults but... I guess it's okay. In moderation, maybe.

Uh, no, I haven't really.

From:

Better than being depressed.
And if you get depressed anyway... well, at least you're a depressed optimist.

You should spend more time with her! You two have a lot in common, and I know she cares about you quite a bit.

From:

Depressed optimist... That's a fun oxymoron.
If a lack of sleep causes someone to make no sense, I shouldn't even be coherent right now. I haven't slept in a couple of days... not well anyway.

Um... I was thinking of that. I'm not even sure when we're going back to Radiant Garden, though...

And I should probably try to get some sleep...

From:

It's a surprisingly easy state to reach, actually, depending on circumstances. I know from experience.
Fact remains that it's better to be a depressed optimist than just depressed.

That's understandable, but you could talk to her over the internet more, just for a little while like you're doing with me. I'm sure she'd appreciate it, and maybe she could cheer you up a bit. I don't need to tell you what a sweet girl she is.

From:

I guess that's true.

No, you don't have to tell me that.

Hey, you okay?

From:

I think so.

From:

midnightxaction.livejournal.com

Only think so?

Anything I can do?

From:

I'm fine really.

I doubt it, but thanks for offering.

From:

midnightxaction.livejournal.com

Okay, if you're sure. :)

You're welcome.

From:

You seem kinda upset. Are you alright?

I don't know who won. I didn't feel like watching so I've just been hanging around my ship playing video games.

...Darn, I slept in. I should have left by now. Oh well.

From:

I think so. Or I will be anyway.

All I know is that none of the monsters won.

At least you slept?

From:

Do you want to talk about it?

I figured that much.

I'm going to assume that you didn't get much sleep. Do you want a cup of tea or something? ...Do you even drink tea?

From:

Not really... I was kind of talking to Song about it a little already.

Well, some of the monsters actually had a decent chance of getting past the first round at least. Although I doubt they would've really gotten any further...

Not lately, no. And tea... It's actually probably Zexion's fault i tried it in the first place. Then between Song and Merlin and your sister... Yeah I like tea.

From:

Okay, I won't bug you about it then.

It would have been really freaky if some of the monsters won.

Oh, well... if you'd like some tea I have a few kinds with me. Food too if you're hungry.~~I feel like I'm turning into someone's mother... I don't know who's though.~~

From:

Thanks.

I... don't even want to think of that. What if that prize really was something useful?

Do you have jasmine tea? And what kind of food?

From:

^_^;

Yeah, I have some jasmine tea. As for food I have some stir fry, stew and spaghetti with meat sauce. I really should start cooking half recipes or something.

From:

I already thought of it. Not a good mental image...

Stir fry sounds good.
