firstnothing[Audio only. The voice is a rather pleasant baritone.]
Good evening, denizens of this new world, human and pokemon alike. I am Xemnas. Perhaps there will be a few of you who recognize such a name.
[His pleasant tone never wavers; there's almost no emotional inflection at all.] This is a world I know little of. I have studied the information I have been able to find, and this little foal has been very dutiful in attempting to aid me in that search. [At this, there is a small, cheerful-sounding "Blitz!" in the background.]
If one could supply further information, or where to find it, I would be ... grateful. But tell me, countless unknown strangers, is it truly so that the humans of this world avoid combat in favor of asking their pokemon to do it for them? My small friend here seems incapable of fighting anything much tougher than a tumbleweed- [A protesting whinny this time.] -and yet I am to rely on it for my defense against all this strange world might strike with?
[It's thoughtfully said, as if this 'Xemnas' has no investment in the question or possible answers.]
[OOC: yeah I stole the sample post off my app. ;_; guilty.]

Xion's place in that lineup is also of interest, though not with the same unfamiliar touch of nostalgia the others came with.]
It seems Xion is doing well for herself. What better might she deserve than a world of peace and the companionship of countless obedient monsters?
[It's a more careful question than it sounds.]
Doubt does not lead one astray, if one knows how to keep it in its place, keyblade wielder. Doubt is the measure of the honesty of our own conscience. The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the three-edged sword that all truth is. If by my words you have faltered... then perhaps you need to learn to make it a strength and not a flaw.
[There's a rustle, quiet, and then a faint click. Quietly, Xemnas can still be heard, but clearly not speaking to Sora. "No. Wait." There is a distant, muted thud. Then: "Go."
A delighted squeal, and the sound of rapidly distancing hoofbeats follow. Pets.]
I cannot help being what I am. Any opportunity to not become what I am now has been lost long since and forgotten by time. If you do not wish to become so, perhaps you should find ways to guarantee your staying here, in this world, and work on ways to inoculate yourself against such a fate. It is not your friends that will save you, if you wish to avoid what has been decided. Strength must come from within, for they cannot fight an internal battle for you.
[Everything Xemnas does or says has a purpose. Which means this too has a reason.]

and maybe, JUST MAYBE Xemnas has one grain of truth to all of that nonsense. Sora should find a way to find strength in what had happened back when he was dreaming. but that is over and he can't redo that. all he can do in regards to that incident is to move forward and not repeat the same mistake.
that's why Xemnas can't eat at him. Sora already knows that's wrong. his friends are his only strength. even with his internal battles, it all comes back to the connections that they've all made with each other. ]
Maybe they can't fight it for me... But they give me the strength and encouragement that I need to keep going. That's the most important thing.

Date: 2013-07-27 09:47 pm (UTC)[What Sora declares as the most important thing, with the context of what might help him fight off Xehanort's plans, draws laughter from Xemnas. And it doesn't have the same empty, hollow sound of before, this seems genuine mirth.
And it takes a good minute for him to actually regain control, trailing off into chuckles.]
If that is what you think, then I won't be able to dissuade you. You will after all, as I have said, believe precisely what you wish and ignore everything else. Begin practicing wearing black, in which case.
