Whatever you're going to do, do it now.

I want you three to stay with Zelda and plenty of people. Please. This isn't a threat to be taken lightly. Riqis, I mean it. We need all of the cooperation and help we can get.
[/Private]


Let's see what happens now.

[A pause; he's no longer addressing the communicator.]

...You ready?

... We could gather the other wielders here. No... No, not enough time. Dammit, quiet!

A Corridor. I can get them through a Corridor. We can move upstairs.

[voice]

[todomarishi]

No. You go through, you might not come back.

[voice]

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

I told them to stay with Zelda and plenty of others. I don't think Riqis will listen, though.

[voice]

[todomarishi]

Riqis may have to learn things the hard way.

[voice]

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

We can't let him be taken, Terra. That's not right.

[voice]

[todomarishi]

What would you have me do?

[voice]

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

You're not going out there either. For all we know, this is a hoax covering up something bigger. I'm not putting you in danger.

...If they're wolves, then they can't reach high ground. Would the clock tower be a safe place for the others, or is that too obvious?

[voice]

[todomarishi]

I wouldn't have gone out even if you'd asked me to. Right now, the only task I'm responsible for is keeping you alive. Riqis's decision is his to make. If he's smart, he'll do as he's told.

Don't underestimate them. We don't know what kind of wolves they are. If the King trusts them to take out guarded children, they might be imbued with some form of magic.

I just hope he'll do the right thing.

Let's move to the upstairs. It's a little rotted up there but we can stand a better chance.

[voice]

[todomarishi]

You go. Take Dammit. Distract him, if you can. I'll be up in a moment.

[voice]

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Be up soon, Terra. C'mon, boy. Up you go.

Roxas, I'm not that helpless. I'm tired of just sitting inside being protected all the time! If you need all the help you can get then why can't I help too?

[keytodarkness.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. Stay inside. I get it.

[myownmemory.livejournal.com]

Is this that Crimson King? Sounds like a scare, but that's what whoever-it-is wants from us, isn't it?

And what about you, Roxas, are you going to be bunkering down and cowering someplace too?

[Private to Roxas/Avari | Unhackable]

[searbh]

Task Force Headquarters or Zelda's place? Which do you think's more suitable?

Private to Roxas/Sora

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying you're helpless. I'm telling you to keep around people who can fight so you can protect each other. And the helping bit is a collective: everyone needs help.

I'm not outside, I'm not running into danger. I'm safe with someone and we're going to stay that way.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Sure you do.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

It's not cowering, you moron. We're fortifying the place we're staying at and getting ready to hold our ground. It's not about hiding, it's about staying safe.

He doesn't care about our fear. He wants what he wants and he'll try to take it.

[Private to Roxas/Avari | Unhackable]

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Is there even time anymore to do this?

[myownmemory.livejournal.com]

Where are you staying at? Sora and Riku are with you?

[keytodarkness.livejournal.com]

The advice gets old after the fifth time you hear it.

Private to Roxas/Sora

[thekeyofhearts.livejournal.com]

...okay. Fine. But sometime soon there has got to be something I can do. If I stick with Riku and Zelda I should be okay, right?

And as long as you're safe too.

Ain't never too late, kid. Just need to get 'em all in one spot's all.
