Guess a place with no fal'cie's got no use for us hangin' around here. Should've expected as much.

[Fang's got her spear and is headed towards the forest - it appears she's going to let off some steam kicking Heartless butt.]

...You think whoever's bringin' us here throws us out whenever we're not useful to 'em anymore? [Not something she's

If that's the case...then why bring us at all?

Or...why bring us here, throw us out, and then bring us back?

Any sort of higher ups have got a thing for playin' with peoples lives. Wouldn't surprise me if they were doin' it just to mess with your head.

Could be some sorta test, too. Someone you care about keeps leavin' and comin' back...it wouldn't be too long before you're closin' yourself off to 'em.

Define 'useful'. So far we have been brought and left to our own devices.

[Locked to Fang]

Assuming Xemnas is telling the truth about having no control over who comes here.

[audio]

[bahamutgal]

We could be puttin' on a show for whoever's out there. Ever think of that?

[Locked]

I wouldn't put it past him to lie about that. Seems a lot of 'em higher ups are good at that.

[fallen_stage]

Not a bad theory, considering how everyone pulled share certain traits... being powerful, for instance. I won't even get into the statistical impossibility of bringing two people from the same world, let alone those who know each other well.

[Locked to Fang]

Most people who control others' fates are smart enough to hide most of that power.

[audio]

[bahamutgal]

Heh, then it seems like this whole world's one giant hell of a statistical impossibility. Maybe they're just tryin' to mess with our heads.

[Locked]

Most of 'em can't resist boasting about it eventually. Or at least they do when they go off thinkin' they can destroy someone once and for all. Ha!

What I wanna is whether we ever were useful in th'first place. Me, I don't think we were.

[He sighs.]

Still tryin'a figure out whether we're all here fer us 'r if it's just fate screwin' with us.

[video]

[bahamutgal]

Not everyone finds the same things useful. We could all be part of someone's sick master plan. ['Hmph's in amusement.]

I think we're stuck figurin' that one out for ourselves. Though me, can't say I really mind bein' stuck here. Knowing why would be lovely, though.

[video]

[bronco_down]

Yeah, I don't think I mind either. [wistful expression]

An' maybe it's one o' those things we really don't wanna know after all. Ign'rance is bliss an' all that mess. Not t'say I put much stock in that theory.

[He folds his arms and places his hands behind his head.]

So what d'ya think y'd prefer? Bein' here 'cause o' somebody's sick master plan or just bein' here fer no reason at all?

[video]

[bahamutgal]

Nothin's worse than bein' lied to, though. [Something she knows faaaar too well. Fang tilts her head for a moment, thinking about that.]

I'd probably prefer no reason at all. [Bangs her fists together] I've had too much practice bein' a pawn. Nice to get a break from that.

[moardarknessplz]

It could certainly be possible.

[bahamutgal]

I wouldn't put it past whoever's bringin' us here.

...Heh, amazing what thoughts pop up when someone's gone missin'.

[moardarknessplz]

You could always ask of those in charge, should you wish an exercise in futility.

[bahamutgal]

Right, since I'm sure they'd love that. 'Specially since there's no way in hell I'd be leavin' without an answer.

... Fang?

[ Demyx can tell when something is up, and... well, she's upset. And those times when he had a heart... the friendship was real. He isn't concerned, because he can't be, but he'll pretend until he can be. ]

[ video ]

[bahamutgal]

[Fang arches an eyebrow at his concerned expression. It looked...weirdly out of place on him somehow. But maybe she was used to thinking of him more as the guy who frolicked in the ocean.]

Yes?

[ video ]

[ixhydromancer]

... You okay?

[ Headtilt. ]

[ video ]

[bahamutgal]

As okay as I can be with another one of my family gone missin'.

[Pauses to spear a Heartless practically in midair.]

This place is cruel. Guess I can't complain too much, though.
