[The feed picks up on Addy and Kia standing on Tsuzuki's desk, staring at the camera. Kia leans forward to peck at the keypad as Addy gnaws an inch in its wing. Words flash across the bottom of the screen like subtitles.]

MASTER HAS MISPLACED HIS TRENCH COAT IF ANYONE HAS SEEN A BLACK TRENCH COAT AROUND THE CASTLE TOWER PLEASE BRING IT TO ROOM NUMBER ONE ON THE MENS FLOOR THANK YOU

[Addy tilts its head at Kia's message. Leaning forward, Addy adds a line.]

MASTER REALLY LIKES THAT COAT AND IT HAS MOST OF HIS TALISMANS IN IT SO IF YOU COULD BRING IT BACK SOON HE MIGHT STOP RUNNING AROUND LIKE A WHITE RABBIT HEH

[Kia stares at Addy a moment before cutting the feed.]

[ooc: Tsuzuki will be replying to comments, but he won't know about the announcement. He's been in the recreation room practicing his piano piece, but someone picked up his coat when he went for a snack.]

I wish that were so...

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

You think otherwise?

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh! I-I've just seen it happen. That's all...

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

You've only seen it but you're acting like that?

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

It's difficult to explain...

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

If i've learnt anything from going to the bottom...it's that you can't think like that.

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

[Mutters to self...]

Too bad no one said that back then...

Did you make it back up then? From the bottom?

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

Mm... Mostly.

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Than I hope you reach the top again. That way you can smile and say you did it. There's no better feeling than that.

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

Maybe. There are things to do first.

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

There always are, but you strike me as able to.

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

I hope so.

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

As long as you have hope, you will never be snuffed out.

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

That's... It might be difficult for hope to work out for this.

Re: [Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

That's the funny thing about hope. It's like faith. You just have to hold onto it.

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

Faith can't protect you from a weapon though.

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

It can keep you alive. That much I know...

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

I think it can give you a reason to keep going on but, it normally can't help physically.

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Hope powers the will to go beyond the possible. I've seen wills strengthen so much so that Fate itself was defied. It's the true strength given to humanity.

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

...That still doesn't change what I said.

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Than you underestimate the power of a will...

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

No. I'm being realistic in thinking that when I go back, having faith won't prevent a sword.

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Do you have the courage to face that sword?

[Audio]

[kekkaifinal.livejournal.com]

...When I left that sword was about to kill me.

[Audio]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

That wasn't what I asked. You can't defeat anything without the courage and will to face it. You said earlier that some people have things worth dying for. They don't always die.
