[Roxas breathes heavily into the device, sighing.]

Jerk locked me in a closet. What the heck is his problem!?

Ugh...I feel so strange. Gotta get far away from here.

[Click. The device turns off.]

Comments

[Voice] A caroling donkey...

[kakolookiyam]

Keep an eye on him. Tell him your concerns. Be a friend. It is easier to listen to the advice you wish to hear than that which you do not want to.

[Voice] At least she wasn't dyed festive colors.

[todomarishi]

Easier said than done. He sprints away anytime I go near him and I've already expressed my concerns... several times. He waves them off just as you do.

[Voice] Festive kitty is very grouchy about that.

[kakolookiyam]

You mean to bind him, and you question why he flees? I am not waving off your concerns, merely stating that your course of action will not win you his trust.

[Voice] Grouchy kitties are no fun to be around.

[todomarishi]

[Grumbled.]

I don't need his trust.

[Voice] Wouldn't think grouchy donkeys are either.

[kakolookiyam]

You do if you want to save him.

[Voice] Nothing compares to a grouchy Prince, though.

[todomarishi]

So says the stranger.

[Voice] Hell hath no fury...

[kakolookiyam]

So says a man who would call him friend.

[Voice] I blame the stomach tentacles.

[todomarishi]

And guard the feelings rather than the spirit of that naive child.

So be it.

[Voice] I too blame the stomach tentacles.

[kakolookiyam]

As I said, hopeless.

[Voice] Atra should look into that, too.

[todomarishi]

Without hope, yes. Take your victory. I'll pursue his fate no further.

[Voice] Dark Prince Broadcast System (tm) and stomach tentacles. And the Dagger's around somewhere.

[kakolookiyam]

You would give up rather than try a different tactic?

[Voice] Original Recipe had better pray Hobo doesn't ever get his hands on the Dagger.

[todomarishi]

If I thought any of the other options available to me would work, I'd-... I can't take on all of you! I can't make him listen to a message he doesn't believe! I'm tired, I'm cold, he's... getting very good at hiding. Why do you still question me?

[Voice] He'll run around kissing dames and rewinding, won't he?

[kakolookiyam]

You are faced with an obstacle, and when one course of action fails, you doggedly press on regardless? Or give up entirely? That cannot work. Have you even tried a different way?

If you are tired and cold, I have friends who may be able to provide you shelter. But you must let Roxas make his own decisions.

[Voice] Every dame he can find.

[todomarishi]

There's no different way this time.

Roxas's fate is his to manage now. If I can't change it, I intend to keep far away from it. I won't watch him fall- I won't submit myself to this... endless cycle.

[Voice] Can't say I'd complain.

[kakolookiyam]

...Running is not the answer either.

[Barely audible.]

How did Farah do it?

[Voice] wtf you two (and Elika won't be happy if you do that, GG :| )

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Terra, I don't want to be your purpose. Your purpose should be for living and...I don't know, continuing with your life with what you have?

I want to be your friend.

[Voice] (But GG likes to smooch the wimmen.)

[todomarishi]

There's no purpose to be had in living like this. I turned away from my future for my friends and now they're gone. I have nothing left.

I won't stand by and watch you be destroyed again. Do what you will but leave me out of it.

[Voice] (He can smooch all he wants, but if she finds out, he's sleeping outside with the donkey.)

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

There's no happy medium with you, is there? It's all or nothing.

You're my friend and if you'll give it a chance we can be just that. Leave my fate to myself, but that doesn't mean you have to stand alone.

[Voice] (D: ... Elika bb don't be like that.)

[todomarishi]

I don't expect you to understand.

Spare me the suffering. I've had enough.
