[Roxas didn't waste any time with that whole waking up confused thing. He seems to be adjusted already -- wandering around in his normal clothes, mostly muted grays and blacks, tattered tan scarf wrapped loose around his neck and partially obscuring his expression ( Read more... )

[That's a little more familiar than she'd like to admit right now. For once, she's not being loud.]

...You chose to go to a war?

twilightfell March 27 2009, 04:41:37 UTC

[quietly, without looking up]

It's the start of one. Despite what it looks like .. there wasn't that much fighting here. .. not until the end, I think.

poison_dango March 27 2009, 05:23:16 UTC

[If he's looking down, he's not looking at her, which she's grateful for.]

It was a village. People's homes, people's...lives. There wouldn't be much fighting there. They'd let the village go last, at the very end.

[shakes his head, coming to a stop right next to one of the bodies. he stares at it without seeing]

That's not it. There wasn't any attack here. All of this was just .. a single man.

poison_dango March 27 2009, 05:33:05 UTC

[It's just a simulation, and she knows, but...she's staring at Roxas, ignoring the bodies. She's seen enough of those to know what they look like]

Just one...who?

twilightfell March 27 2009, 05:36:26 UTC

[for a second he looks so tired and so sad]

Me.

poison_dango March 27 2009, 05:38:50 UTC

[Why is it always the adorable ones that go mad and do these things? She doesn't sound horrified, just tired of seeing this, again.]

Why?

twilightfell March 27 2009, 05:43:16 UTC

... [he moves past the body, eyes searching his surroundings. he's looking for something.]

I didn't kill them. But it's my fault they died.

poison_dango March 27 2009, 05:59:04 UTC

[She rolls her eyes. A nice healthy dose of blame?]

How so?

[Roxas ducks into one of the blasted out huts, crouching down to run his fingers across the dusty floor]

Someone came to this world. A scientist. He chose this place because it was quiet, out of the way .. and the lack of technology meant he could do his work in private.

He used the people of this village as guinea pigs. Men, women, children .. all of them. He ripped out their hearts.

[he stands, not having found what he wanted, and finally looks up at the Sphere]

It was an experiment. He killed all of those people because he was trying to create a monster. To make someone else just like me.

poison_dango March 27 2009, 06:27:09 UTC

[That's hit a few of her trauma buttons, yep. She stares at him for a moment, before abruptly blurting out:]

It's not your fault, you idiot.

twilightfell March 27 2009, 06:33:12 UTC

.. I know. But you have to admit .. if I didn't exist, all of these people would still be alive.

[he pushes back out into the center of the village, stopping then, sighing]

It's been years since then. The scientist .. I killed him myself for what he did. But I never stopped thinking about this place. I thought, maybe, if I saw it again .. I could somehow .. [shakes his head]

poison_dango March 27 2009, 06:42:21 UTC

Bastards like that...they'd do it for any reason. To find something out, to create something they can control, to just use the people for their own...experiments. [She nearly spits the word.]

You never forget, the things they did. Don't think it's possible.

twilightfell March 27 2009, 06:55:25 UTC

[his gaze flicks to her sharp and thoughtful and he just sort of .. takes her in, like he's just realizing for the first time that she's even there]

... you sound like you know from experience.

No. I know. But ... [absently he brushes a hand over his chest, not even realizing he's doing it] I've been carrying around this guilt every day since I was eighteen. I thought maybe if I saw it again I could .. come to terms with it, maybe .. ? [he just shakes his head, staring at the ground again] This was a bad idea.

poison_dango March 27 2009, 07:01:31 UTC

Yeah, well.

Never does, just makes it hurt more, hurt deeper. It's why criminals never return to the scene of the crime, unless they're dumb or crazy. Just makes the hole deeper and wider.

Eighteen? Lucky. I wasn't even thirteen then...

twilightfell March 27 2009, 07:23:32 UTC

... [almost poses the "well?", but after looking at her face .. he lets it go.]

I'm .. realizing that. It won't .. ever stop .. hurting, I guess.

[just. stares at her.] I'm sorry.
