#030 - [VIDEO/AUDIO]

[Tsuzuki is seen running at a speed that the gollems couldn't keep up. His communicator is picking up the side of his face. He looks dead serious.]

Where did he go?!

[He finally stops, glancing about. He looks down at his communicator, seeing its on.]

Everyone! Something has been manipulating some of us in the castle! If any of you recall what happened to you, please let me know, even its just that you blacked out! If anyone sees Shuuichi today, try to keep him in one place!

[He motions for Addy and Kia to go in different directions before taking off in a run again in a stairwell. The feed ends.]

[Audio - Private] Hey, look. She's getting clever~ (assuming this to be after her thread with him)

[seasaltblues]

I saw him earlier this morning-- I think it's the same thing that happened to Roxas the other day. He doesn't remember, but he... [Trailing off just a moment there.]

...No, it was someone else. Someone used him to attack me-- I don't really understand, but they were talking about how everyone was leaving them... but who would do something like this?

[Audio - Private] Go Xion! /)(\

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Xion! Did Shuuichi hurt you in any way? He's possessed by a spirit of some kind. Perhaps a ghost. I think this is the same one that's been possessing everyone as of late.

[Audio - Private] 8DD

[seasaltblues]

I'm... I'm alright.

...A spirit? So, they can just... take you over? Just like that?

[Audio - Private] /so proud/ Have a cookie!

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Ghost attached themselves to people with spiritual sensitivity or with feelings they can relate to. Other, more powerful spirits, can possess a person by force. I'm not sure which type we're dealing with here, but I hope it's a regular ghost for all our sakes.

[Audio - Private] /cheers~

[seasaltblues]

Feelings... [She pondered that if for only a moment. But why then would Roxas...? It had to be the other kind then, right? Her thoughts were cut off quickly as her eyes sharpened at his next statement although he couldn't see. It definitely meshed in her tone of voice though.]

So, these spirits can do even more than this? [She wasn't sure she wanted to know, but...]

[Audio - Private]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Depending on the strength of the spirit, it can access strengths or abilities and use them for their own purposes. This spirit or ghost claims to be lonely and desperate. Based on some of the possessions I've seen, especially Roxas, I'm hoping it was just a ghost fusing with a host...

[Audio - Private]

[seasaltblues]

I see... [She didn't like the sound of that. The slight buckling in her voice hinted as much.]

Then I'll do what I can. To stop those possessed. Whoever it is... last time I think I spoke to them, and they let Roxas go. So, maybe I can do the same next time. Maybe...

[Audio - Private]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Be careful. It has Shuuichi right now. He isn't as strong as most of the others have been. I'm trying to think of a way to keep her from continuing this.

[Audio - Private]

[seasaltblues]

Don't worry... I'll be alright. [There was a strange confidence to her voice.]

I'll look for him, too.

[Audio - Private]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Xion. I know I can count on you. It's Shuuichi's friends that will help him most. I can only hope his friend from back home can be of help as well.

[Audio - Private]

[seasaltblues]

You mean Ryuuichi? Probably... They seem to be really good friends. [Like her and Axel now that he remembered her. And if anyone had been able to bring her back, it was him. She didn't doubt the same could be done between Ryuuichi and Shuuichi.]

[Audio - Private]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Is that his name? Ryuu... ichi...? First dragon, huh? I seem to always find one nearby. Hm!

[Audio - Private]

[seasaltblues]

First... Dragon? [Oh, yes. You have seemed to confuse her again. What did that have to do with anything they were talking about?]

[Audio - Private]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Dragons are the guardian god of the East in my world. They are strong and wise, but most have short fuses and patience. I hope his name matches his character, for the most part. Haha!

[Audio - Private]

[seasaltblues]

[She blinked a little bit... That did fit Ryuuichi. Well. For the most part, exactly. She thought he was pretty patient with her. Huh... Still.]

Does every name have a meaning like that?

[Audio - Private]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

As far at I know they do. Tsuzuki mean "continuance". Do you not know the origin of your name, Xion?

[Audio - Private]

[seasaltblues]

[She... shook her head slowly. Come to think of it, did she really want to know? After all, she had been named by...]

...I'm okay with it though. [Or maybe she was afraid. Fighting that though, she pressed to change the subject.] Continuance... Like... continuing. Right? [How did that relate to Tsuzuki though, she wasn't sure.]

[Audio - Private]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

That's right. No matter how bad things get for me, I continue on, whether I want to or not. [His voice sounds solemn and aged in that statement, as if there is a story behind it. A story that one might or might not want to be told...]

[Audio - Private]

[seasaltblues]

Whether you... Why... Why wouldn't... [She trailed off. Not sure if she wanted to really press him. It seemed like something... he probably wouldn't necessarily be comfortable talking about. And she could understand those feelings.]

[Audio - Private]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, Xion, life throws things at you that wear you down, but you have to keep going forward. [More certainty in his voice this time.]

[Audio - Private]

[seasaltblues]

Have to... [Xion could understand that. Probably more than he would ever know. Or would he never know? It wasn't like... she didn't trust him. But all the same. She was silent for a while...]

...I understand. [Her voice touched a firmness usually not grasped by it.]

[Audio - Private]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Hm. Life is a crazy thing, isn't it?

[Audio - Private]

[seasaltblues]

It... really is. But... there are good things that come from it, too. And so... I don't regret this.

[Audio - Private]

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Never regret living. It's a precious thing that's more fragile than anything else in any world. Cherish those good things deep within your spirit and it will make the not so good times easier to bare.

[Audio - Private]

[seasaltblues]

I won't... As long as my friends are here... [And as long as she could remain there for them.] ...I'll hold onto these happy memories. That way, even when... [All the sad ones plagued her. Even when she didn't feel she had the right to exist.]

...I'll still have so much to remind me that I'm better off existing. [For the people that mattered to her in the Order. People like him and her best friends... and many others there.]
