[The video clicks on to focus not on Xemnas, but a rather sedate looking kadabra carefully picking burrs out of a blitzle's fur, the ever-present kadabra-spoon held in its teeth. Both have rather new looking and fairly loose black collars studded with small silvery ...studs, and a single bright silver charm a little too distant to make out clearly. Neither seem to mind said collars, possibly because they'd be able to get them off very easily if they wanted to. When Xemnas speaks, likely the one holding the camera, he sounds bemused.]
I have finally seen evolution in this world for myself, but not with one of the pokemon I have had the longest. Is it odd, that the abra I captured not so long ago, evolved so quickly into its next form? Or is this common for wild-caught pokemon? I have high hopes of seeing the second stage of Regret's own evolution soon.
[The blitzle notices the camera first and perks up visibly. Then begins making faces at it, no small fete for a horselike face. Aside from a slow flick of its rather fluffy tail, the kadabra doesn't bother to divert from its goal of burrs.]
Additionally the growlithe that had chosen to accompany me is still present. If anyone is desirous of having a free growlithe, alert me and I will bring it somewhere you can capture it. To the young man I purchased the gastly egg from: it is a remarkable creature, and one I suspect I will keep for some time. You must be very pleased with its parents.

Date: 2013-08-29 03:36 pm (UTC)My sincere thanks but I do not seek to grow my collection of Pokemon. I merely want the growlithe to find companionship, and if it has found happiness and a place to call home then I am content.

This is going to take significantly longer than I first anticipated.

Date: 2013-09-02 03:30 pm (UTC)That is precisely what I lacked. The emotional center of a human being. Tell me. Without rage, without love, without guilt or shame, without any emotion negative or positive, what do you think you would be capable of? When all that rules you, is cold logic. Morality has no meaning anymore, for it is based upon emotion. Right and wrong becomes subjective very quickly. You can't get outraged at the sight of terrible acts done to your fellows. You simply don't care anymore. About anything at all, for years on end.
[A pause.]
It's a nice change, this world. It may strip us of all powers beyond what is normal, but it has returned to me things much more valuable.

Date: 2013-09-03 03:27 pm (UTC)It is irony indeed then, for us to meet. For during my past life I lived fully based on my emotions. When anger ruled my heart it was my sword that spoke my words. When loneliness ate into my spirit, I craved for the warm touch of another despite my solemn vow to remain faithful. And right and wrong are no longer as they should be; right becomes what pleases you, while wrong is what irks you.
A complete lack of emotions is undesirable, but a complete surrender shows lack of strength.

Perhaps it is weakness that led to letting your heart rule you. And yet here you are, as sober an individual as I have met. It seems to me sooner or later you triumphed over that weakness. Do not mourn it. A strong heart is always a strength, even if it is unruly.

Date: 2013-09-05 01:52 pm (UTC)God willing you will not find loneliness, but should you someday find yourself lost and alone, do not hesitate to contact me through this Pokegear.

Date: 2013-09-05 05:48 pm (UTC)[It's echoed with the tone of one who's encountered the word before but wasn't quite certain of its definition.]
If it is your nature to have a temper, then there is no great wrong in acknowledging it and learning to use it instead of fight it. Harnessing your fury makes it useful. A weapon in a skilled hand is a wondrous thing indeed, but the same weapon in the hands of the inexperienced can be devastating to themselves, not their foes.
[Xemnas would be content with finding out what loneliness is like. If he DID contact Dante about it, it would probably be to pass on that he's discovered what it's like and then offer opinions on it.. not quite the seeking of solace one might expect. Nonetheless, there is a small agreeing noise.]
Very well, I shall endeavor to do so if the situation arises. Though lost may not be an issue, it has a map built in.
no subject
Date: 2013-09-07 11:15 am (UTC)Ah, pardon me. I was not speaking of being lost in the woods, per say. It is more of being 'lost' from the path you choose to walk. When you have lost and forgotten who you are and know not where to turn to or which step to take.
I have been lost in both sense of the word, and I have found the latter to be more terrifying.
no subject
Date: 2013-09-09 12:01 am (UTC)[The path he chose to walk... that was going to be more difficult as time goes on, he's certain of it. Hadn't he warned his future-past-self of that already? The heart was treacherous.]
Should I ever forget myself or my determinations in this world, then perhaps your guidance will be more needed than you know. I do not remember ever being so astray, but perhaps it is inevitable that a life will reach that point, sooner or later.
What guided you from your trouble, I wonder?
