[So, this week is shaping up to be a barrel of laughs, isn't it? And Axel intends to take full advantage of it.

Never mind that this could come around full circle to bite him in the ass later. With the SFC turned on he shows up, grinning with his head rested in his hand.

Hello, Vatheon.]

Let's play a game. A bonding exercise, if you will. I figure it'll lift everyone's spirits a little.

On a scale from 1 to 10, let's tell each other how attractive we think we are. Then we'll take turns explaining why. Sound good?

(( ooc: Threadjacking is totally cool, btw ))

What do you mean by that?

Is this Darkness a thing in your world?

[She wasn't too sure what he meant by that but...there was a similar thing that happened with her in her world. Darkness in the form of sadness and despair...]

Sure is.

[He shrugs.]

It's a tangible thing a lot of people still don't understand, though. And maybe that's for the best. You wouldn't want to get too wrapped up in the Darkness if you can help it.

By the way, I wanted to ask you something...

Exactly what is the 'darkness' anyway in your world?

It's a being; a force people can even manipulate to their choosing provided they're strong enough to risk it. Like I said, it's something not everyone can even fully understand.

[It was then that Shirley gave a small mumble]

Then can I ask you something? Do you think this darkness...could have a possibility to hold on to people...from different worlds?

[He has to think about that for a second. Hmm...]

Maybe. I guess that depends on which World you're from. If you're from mine, then of course it would. ... But since I'm willing to bet that you're not, then you're probably ok.

No, I doubt it, I never heard about the idea of someone who was born without a heart before either.

[Hm...]

But in my world, the concept of the darkness is something that is familiar.

Yeah? How so?

[Pause]

Have you heard someone named Schwartz before? Or the Cradle of Time?

[He thinks for a second... then shakes his head.]

I can't say that I have.

[There was a pause]

I see...

Then I wonder if the darkness I saw was something different. Although, I suppose there are some similarities.

What was it like exactly?

[Darkness is so fascinating, ok. Creepy, but fascinating.]

For me?

[...]

I can't really say but I know a lot of friends were in despair because of it. The Darkness...made them feel so hopeless, they were trapped and there was nothing they could do.

[Another pause]

It also made them feel a lot of emotions that...hateful too. It's not something I want to think about. [Despite the tone in her voice, it does change into revolve afterwards] However, if we were able to beat it once before, we can do it again!

That's what our Darkness does.

[All the negative emotions... it gets to people and can corrupt them if they're not careful. And even though he doesn't have a heart, while traversing through space and time in his Corridors of Darkness, Axel can feel it, the suffocating shadows closing in on him from all directions like a dense fog.

He pauses from that train of thought to grin at her last comment.]

Heh. You sound awfully confident. ... How did you defeat the Darkness?

Then perhaps it's not so different after all? Or maybe it just goes by a different name?

[Things were getting more and more interesting. She had wondered if Schwartz powers were only in her world. She claims that all people want death but now that she knew there were other worlds?

That was a possibility the darkness went to other places too...

But now that she knew, she had a new resolve.]

It's simple really. [There was a nervous laugh] It was through my friends and everyone on the Legacy that we were able to beat her.

[And Grune too]
