Seventh Flare - Video - Fight the future

[prominence_glow]

[At first, the video feed shows nothing but the shadow of a certain ghost ship and two pairs of feet. One pair is wearing a pair of possibly familiar A-T skates, and the other is kind of transparent and in big leather boots. Lea's voice is rambling off, as usual.]

-bly really stupid when I think about it, but y'know, I'm not gonna regret anything.

[Once Sora gets over being surprised at the revelation- admittedly, he'd started to suspect as much in their last conversation- He gives Lea a smile. That's the ticket.]

Yeah! Good for you.

You are who you choose to be, right Lea?

It's what I said.

But man, when I get back home, my mom's gonna kill me. It's kinda overboard. [Very very very delicately- new tattoos, man, damn- he reaches up to poke his cheek.]

[lockandkeyblade]

Well I can't help you there.

Better she think you lost your mind than your heart.

I can't even blame it on Isa, 'cuz she knows he's the responsible one! Maaaan.

[There's a pause, and he just kind of... tilts his head to look at Sora.]

...Could I ask you a question? Kinda personal?

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

[Personal? Well he'll answer the best he can.]

Go ahead. Shoot.

I heard from Demyx that you and Roxas are... kind like what me and Axel are. But. Um. Not. Or something.

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

[... Oh. Okay. Sora... wasn't expecting that. He's taken aback, even quiet for a moment.]

See, things are... complicated. Between me and Roxas.

[Video]

[prominence_glow]

...Could you at least try explaining? Demyx isn't exactly a... good explainer.

And I'm just trying to figure out everything that goes on that I don't know yet.

[Well, he does deserve to know. It is supposedly his future. If Sora were in his place, he'd hate to be kept out of the dark. So he reaches down to the SFC and filters it. Better a private conversation.]

Did Demyx happen to explain exactly what a nobody was? Or even an 'other'?

I got the Nobody part- I almost had to beat it out of him, sheesh.

He was talking about weird things called Heartless, and a body getting left behind and stuff. Getting a will of its own.

[lockandkeyblade]

See, Axel is your nobody. He's the guy you would have become when you lost your heart, the body left behind.

Well, Roxas is the same for me. When I lost my heart, Roxas was left behind. He's my nobody. My 'other.'

[prominence_glow]

Alright... I get that.

But when I asked Demyx about it, if he had an 'other' running around, he just said that Myde- which I guess was him before- 'died' when the Heartless attacked him.

Others are complicated too... They're kind of special. But they aren't even supposed to even be around after the heart is lost.

Technically, I'm supposed to be a heartless right now. With Demyx, his other was only around because of a curse. But chances are that his other- the real Myde - is probably a heartless wandering somewhere around our worlds.

At least, I think that's the way it works...

[prominence_glow]

...This is so confusing.

[lockandkeyblade]

Tell me about it.

[Sora knows how you feel. He's practically in the thick of it and even he doesn't understand a lot of it.]

Look on the bright side... at least now you don't even have to deal with that stuff anymore. Right?

[Video//Filtered]

[prominence_glow]

Right.

I just have to make sure I get Isa to go with me.
