[Eighteenth] Moonrise: Text ⇥ Emptiness

[beforemoonfall]

So I'm looking for a job again. I got fired from the last one. Good riddance. Any ideas? I'd still like time to train and hang with my boyfriends when the day's done, unlike my last job.

[Locked to Axel, Lea, Demyx, Ventus and Namine]

Vanitas is back.

...Apparently, Xemnas talked to Xigbar and kept up his part of the bargain after all. Looks like I'm cleaning again. But I get plenty of time, since the hours are four hours a day.

And yeah. I ran into him on my way to train.

He may not be that bad to you, Demyx, but he likes to rile me and Lea up.

I didn't ask. I just ran.

Demyx, I don't think it's always all in good fun. He beat the crap out of Lea.

He chased me for awhile but I lost him.

I know. But keep in mind me and Lea are human. We don't exactly have the power you have. Xigbar's not harmless.

[Switching to voice now.]

That's the point I was making, Demyx. Me and Lea? We don't have much going for us. As much as we keep training, you and the old man? You're going to be way out of our league in battle. Sometimes I envy that power you have.

So quit egging him on by reacting to his jabs. [A short pause and there's a faint clatter of dishes bumping against each other and running water.] Dangerous power. Y'know how my element is, dude. It's always changing. Gentle one minute...

[beforemoonfall]

He jabs no matter what.

[There's a few moments of silence.]

...True. But you can protect those important to you. I cannot reasonably do that.

[...Sounding sort of familiar, Demyx?]

[ninthserenade]

Not always. ...I'd like to think I know him pretty well.

I had the chance before but look where that got me. [A beat.] You're starting to sound like Lea.

[Silence a few minutes.]

...Can you just come over?

[ninthserenade]

Yeah. You at Lea's?

Yeah...
