[...There is something wrong with his body.]

[Saix really doesn't want to admit it, because that would make Axel right, but it's simply fact that he realizes once he's back in his own body instead of stuck in Axel's. It reminded him of what it felt like to be Isa a little bit, and it also reminded him of how it had felt when he had first joined the Organization. How he is now is... different. It's the Darkness. It feels thicker, like a heavy fog. He knows he's done some horrible things in the name of his goal, but never cared because the end justified the means. Still, this almost feels like too much.]

[Saix spends the day trying to convince himself that he's just letting himself fall into the same delusional trap that Axel has, but in the end, he has to know.]

[So you'll be seeing this guy on the SFC today, looking as calm and apathetic as ever.]

I'm curious, but are there any in Vatheon who are knowledgeable in the spiritual heart of a person? Perhaps the better, more general word would be 'soul'.

[A body, a mind, and a 'heart'- that's what makes a person, isn't it? But take away the 'heart', have it be lost to Heartless, and you're left with a body and a mind. A Nobody...]

What do you need to know about the soul? I know of it in a religious sense, in the fact that it's something given to us by God.

[Video]

[croceamors]

I'm not entirely sure if that will help in my case. [He knows Gods can exist, so he can't exactly call himself an atheist... But he's not sure where they stand when it comes to Nobodies.]

Still. In your religion, can a person lose or corrupt their soul?

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

A soul can be corrupted, yes.

But not lost.

[This feels highly similar to the conversation Ky had with Dirk, and he wonders whether they have a join cause.]

Only God can take a soul, and He wouldn't.

[Video]

[croceamors]

Hm. That seems a bit different than where I am originally from. Have you heard of creatures called Heartless?

[Video]

[dontsaymyname]

I'm always amused when people start questioning this.

[ Barry peers curiously at the screen. He's seen Saix around, but he's never bothered to really speak with him before, but this sort of philosophical inquiry intrigues him. ]

[Video]

[croceamors]

I don't really care about your amusement. If you don't have an answer, then I'm not interested in anything you have to say.

[There's no reason not to be blunt about that.]

[Video]

[dontsaymyname]

[ Barry's smile widened. He enjoyed blunt; he enjoyed angry too. It was such a lovely emotion. ]

What do you want to know?

[Video]

[double_edged]

...I apologize for this, but you sound... strangely familiar.

[Video]

[croceamors]

Did you speak with me last week? Someone else was in my body. Perhaps he spoke to you.

[Video]

[double_edged]

No, I don't believe so. I was mostly unaffected by the curse itself, but--

Ah, I must be imagining things. You had a question about... souls, was it?

video;

[keepsthefire]

I'd try askin' anyone from Death Meister Academy. Maka Albarn, Death the Kid or Professor Stein. In their world souls are pretty important things.

video;

[croceamors]

Maka Albarn, Death the Kid, Professor Stein... Thank you.

[Someone who provides him a straight answer, for once. He's about as grateful as he can be.]

Are they all equally reliable, or is there one in particular who would know more about it?

video;

[keepsthefire]

[Well he is kind of dating two of them, and has a lot of second hand experience with souls thanks to that. And he's had his own issues with questioning the validity of his own soul.]

Well uh... yeah, more or less? Maka might give you a more uhm... text book answer at first. Stein... [is a creepy creeper who creeps him out--] well he's their teacher. But Kid is the son of Lord Death in their world and he'll probably talk your ear off even if you don't actually ask him to.

[420]

Sure, bro, I'm all about all these beautiful spiritual matters what be all around us. What have you got yourself some need to be knowing about?

Video;

[croceamors]

[...Saix also doesn't trust anyone who calls him 'bro', but, in the pursuit of answers...]

Can a soul change? Someone else has already said it can't.

Video;

[420]

Uh.

[Not a question that Gamzee ever got asked before. He looks dumbly for a moment (he's thinking!) before he looks at Saix.]

I dunno, man, what do you think?

[flared]

[It feels... better to be back in his own body now that the curse is over, though he can't shake away the feeling of being suffocated by Darkness when he wakes up that morning. He knows it's no longer there, whatever was pulling him back when he was Saix, but the memory still pesters him like a bad memory or a nagging parasite.

He can only imagine what Saix feels now that he's back to normal.

Upon hearing the call over the network Axel hesitates, wondering if he should bother, but curiosity wins him over and he replies anyway. First he'll wait to listen to what other's have to say, since it's honestly something he's still confused an curious about as well.]

... Why are you asking?

[croceamors]

[He knew, of course, that there was a chance that one of the others would spot this. He knew it might be Axel. Still, he's... uncertain of how to respond. At least, honestly.]

As a Nobody, it shouldn't be surprising that I'm asking.

[flared]

Must've been thinking about something in particular.

[He's on to you.]

[video]

[lovedbyflowers]

What would you like to know about the soul?

[video]

[croceamors]

[Oh. He remembers you, faintly, from the one curse. Nothing useful had come from those discussions, but maybe the curse had been to blame.]

Can a soul be changed? Can you lose one and, if so, how would you get one back?

[In the context of his Worlds, Saix knows the answer. At least, he knows what he's been told. But Axel has thrown that into a state of question. Saix isn't a scientist or any sort of individual particularly knowledgeable in these matters... So he has to find someone who is.]

[video]

[lovedbyflowers]

Hmm... well, in the world I'm from souls are constantly being reincarnated and the things they experience in each lifetime do change them personality-wise but no matter how many times they are reincarnated, the colour of their souls stay the same.

I don't think there is a way of getting back a soul once it's been lost or destroyed.

Shit, have you been reading my mind?
Protip: The library is no fucking use whatsoever on this.

[Text]

[croceamors]

I didn't think it would be. Information here seems fairly limited unless you start talking to people. I take that to mean you found nothing useful?

[Text]

[shippingmath]

Nothing applicable to the shit I was looking for.
If you're looking for a bunch of shitty theories you might find something you like.
