Day 115 - [Voice]

[Roxas normally doesn't have a problem using video on these things, but... Well, for some reason he doesn't feel like broadcasting his face right now.]

Is it weird to feel connected to someone you've got nothing in common with? Personality-wise, I mean. Like maybe you're in a similar situation, but you turned out completely different...

Guess I'm thinking too much lately.

[Filtered to Sora]
This is kind of stupid, but... Have you turned sixteen already?

[Rin has a pretty good idea what this is about, but even he can pick up on the way Roxas worded it. He probably doesn't want it broadcasted everywhere - what happened at the ice cream shop should probably stay between everyone involved.]

... thinkin' about Vanitas?

Yeah.

I guess I'm being stupid.

Yeah you are.

[Sorry, Roxas. Rin is about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face on a good day.

But whatever disapproving look he had when he said that fades rather quickly, and he lets out a sigh while shaking his head slowly.]

But if it makes you feel any better... I was bein' pretty stupid about it, too...

[The blunt reply actually makes him smile briefly before he shakes his head and looks at Rin curiously.]

How's that?

Kinda... avoided my girlfriend and roommate for a week...

[He looks sheepish and a little embarrassed about it. Rightfully so, considering what he says next.]

She kicked down my door.

[That does sound kind of stupid.]

...she really kicked down your door?

What were you avoiding them for?

Yeah, she really kicked down my door. Broken hinges an' everything.

[Maka is just kind of awesome like that.]

I'unno... I got worried, thinkin' they were gonna try to go after Vanitas for what he did... and... I'unno... I guess he kinda... freaked me out a little...

Heh.

...he kinda freaks me out, too.

I can see why... fuckin' freak...

... but uh... yehknow just 'cause you've got some weird connection to him doesn't mean you gotta like him or even get along with him. Obviously he doesn't want anything 'cept to see you dead, so I say fuck 'im. No one's forcin' you to be friends with him or anything, right?

Edited 2012-07-25 17:50 (UTC)

I'm not saying I want to be friends or anything. It just... seems wrong to be fighting. It seems wrong for him to be like that. [Considering who he came from.]

...it'd be nice not to have to watch my back, too.

If he's a jerk he's a jerk! Not your job to fix him or whatever. Some people are just like that, y'know?

... think he's gonna try somethin' again?

I'm not sure it's completely his fault.

...he wants me gone, right?

Tch, please. That's such bullshit. You can only get so far on blamin' other people for how you act. When you start tryin' to lock people in a damn ice cream shop and attack 'em with... whatever the fuck those things were... [If anyone told him, he's forgotten already] then you're just bein' an ass and need to have your ass handed to you!

Especially if you're doin' it just to get at one person! If he's got a problem with you he needs to deal with you and not get innocent people hurt!

[Upset much, Rin?]

But if he's gonna start that shit again, then obviously I'm gonna have to help you. I got involved in this bullshit and I ain't gonna back down just cause he freaks me out a little.

...

[Yeah, Roxas is just... going to drop that line of thought here because Rin obviously feels pretty strongly about that one.]

It's really got nothing to do with you. You don't have to get involved.

[It's righteous indignation backed by a horrible temper and demon powers. It's amazing Rin isn't more dangerous than he already is.]

Yeah, well, it's a little too late for that now isn't it?

[By the way, Roxas? This is Rin-speak for "I guess we're friends now". Have fun with that.]

...maybe. I guess he might not be too happy with you either, now.

[Roxas isn't picking up on that. Although, maybe they didn't have ice cream, but they did meet in the ice cream shop. Does that count?]

Doubt it. Especially since I kept killin' his stupid pet things.

[It totally counts! Not that Rin knows that but eh, semantics.]

...sorry to drag you into it, then.

Eh... been dragged in to worse... some one's gotta teach that bastard a lesson, right?

If that'll even work.

Do you know anything about him besides- from the fight?

Mhnmn.

[Rin shakes his head.]

First time I've ever seen him.

I'd never met him in person before either. But I've heard about him.

[Roxas pauses, frowning. It's uncomfortable bringing this up with someone he barely knows, but it seems wrong to keep Rin in the dark.]

The thing is... he was created from someone else. Someone who looks just like me.

I've been told he wants to- become more powerful and hurt more people. It's what he was created for. But... I think he also wants to be whole again. And the person he came from isn't here anymore. There's just me.

Created from someone else... ?

[It... sounds ridiculous. Or it would, if not for a vague memory of Shura mentioning the research facility and all the things that had happened to Professor Neuhuas' wife.

In a sense, weirder things have happened to him. It's not that far fetched.]

... well, yeah okay, I can get wanting to be whole again, but if you're not the person he was created from why attack you?

If you lost someone, it'd be- painful to see someone who looks like them, but isn't. Right?

This's just a lot more screwed up.

... well... yeah... I know I don't deal with-... with things like that very well either, but I don't go around tryin' to kill people...
