[shardsofmemory]

[Roxas, pale and unsettled, is on the screen with a frown on his face. He's fingering his collar, slipping it around and around and around.

His voice is quiet, but full of weight.]

Everyone's saying goodbye, right?

[He lifts up his other hand, just enough to be in view, and twists around his wedding ring too, staring down at it. Then, quickly, blue

We've gotten through rough patches before, don't see how this one is going to be any different.

Besides we've been threatened with facility wide termination before.

[shardsofmemory]

That's what I'm thinking. We've already survived two years. I don't see how this is different.

[historyrabbit]

They threatened to terminate everything the first year too? [He was here but Lavi was still getting used to things, it's hard for him to recall.]

[shardsofmemory]

I don't know if they threatened to terminate everything but they got rid of the doctors, didn't they? Replaced them, I mean?

[padawanwizard]

Me either.

I mean, mostly because I'm new and don't really know anyone but Harry, but...

We're totally going to rock this.

[ okay, she's more than a little nervous, but saying goodbye to the few people she's chatted with, to Harry, makes it... more frightening, because it's acknowledging the possibility is there. ]

[shardsofmemory]

That's not true. You know me, don't you? That's two people. And after this is all over, you can meet all my friends, too.

[skyofreverie]

[Sora shrugs.]

'Course it's not the end but sometimes people just need to say goodbye to each other. It helps them ease their mind so they can focus on what needs to be done.

[Not that any of them will be saying it to each other though.]

Hey...we should get some sparring in. Sasha lent me a weapon since I can't summon the Keyblade anymore and I should get used to it.

[shardsofmemory]

Yeah, but it's... it's like saying you lost before you even start. I'm not saying bye to you, Sora. Not again.

[But Roxas grins, and shoves his thoughts behind him] Right now?

[misakanetwork]

'Misaka will not let this plan fall through,' Misaka points out that there is no need to say goodbye.

[shardsofmemory]

That's exactly how I'm thinking. Thanks. [A small, grim smile-- not everyone seems to be thinking like this. He's glad for the ones that are]

[misakanetwork]

'Misaka has made a deal, so it is imperative that Misaka makes sure that this plan succeeds,' Misaka explains.

[shardsofmemory]

A deal? With who? [Picquing Roxas' curiousity is the worst way to keep things secret: he will never let it go]

[togana_keiri]

Like we'd go down that easy.

[shardsofmemory]

Exactly. [He smiles at Maka] I don't... wanna say there's no way we can fail but we at least are gonna try as hard as we can, so no.

[togana_keiri]

We'll win. [She says it with a surety that surprises even her.]

[shardsofmemory]

Yeah. I know we will. With everyone we have here, all fighting..? We've beaten a lot worse before. We can do this.
