[Audio | Action TO ALL | Fourth Wall Event]

--stay!

[ Is that a distorted, but may be recognizable voice? Why, yes, maybe, to those who know her. There's heavy breathing, but it distances itself from the Gear, and there's surprised sounds from a Togekiss, Typhlosion, and Gabite in the background.

Xion shakes her head. No, no, this can't be happening. Wait, she knew this place might have had a chance for something like this, but... A-Ahhghhh... She holds up hands that aren't human, gold talons moving at her will...

Fix this... Have to fix...

Swish swish swish. Clothes are being put on. Then: ]

I need... I need help. With something. Please.

[ Maybe it doesn't have to be Roxas this time. Maybe it could be Sora. Or Ven. Or anyone. ]

[ooc: 4TH WALL EVENT! GUESS WHO'S GOING TO TRY AND FIND SOMEONE TO FINISH HER? She'll be under her hood, and underneath she'll look... like this. Just maybe not gigantic. And it can be anyone. Corridors of Darkness can be convenient in traveling around, why can't Johto just allow that...

So yeah! If you're up for a fight, or just to convince this derp and stop her dead (hah) in her tracks from setting on a selfdestruction path... by all means! ]

... For something like this, yes. Ven, the way I was made... It isn't something I can control.

[ Circumstances beyond her choice. Hell, she was with Riku for some short amount of time, and even she started gaining a few things from him. And most of all... Roxas. Sora. Maybe Ven, too. Maybe, maybe, maybe. ]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

What do you think you'll do?

[Because he still doesn't know what could be so horrible]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Hurt them... even if I want to be with them so much.

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Aw little sis, his heart is bleeding, or maybe that's you eating him too. Hard to tell]

Who would you hurt?

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ See?! ]

My friends. Sora, Roxas, Riku... you? Ven... [ There's a plea when she says his name. ]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[But he doesn't care what happens to him, not so much as he cares about what happens to his friends anyway.

See the problem?]

Are you saying you just...just being would hurt people?

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Battle of the martyrs is a go. ]

... Yes.

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Round one, fight! ...Or don't, either way]

...

[And now he sees what she's getting at, knowing how Terra and Aqua must've felt all those years ago. Strange to think it's been so long, and he's unchanged]

I can't hurt you, Xion, not when it's something you didn't have any say in. There has to be some other way.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

If there was, I would've taken it. I really would. But... But there isn't.

[ If even Namine can't do anything about saving Xion, then... nope. ]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

How much time have you spent trying?

[Doesn't mean he won't fight this thing]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

That's the thing: the more I let this go on, the more it was hurting my friends.

[ Oh, Ven. She's getting a tad frustrated he just won't... do this for her, but. ]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Then let's get help. There's got to be a solution.

[Silly Xion, your friends won't willingly smite you if there's any other choice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ She's quiet. fff, so stubborn in this, Ven! She wonders if there really is something that could help, but Namine clearly said she couldn't help Xion, and the other girl could fix other things connected to Sora's memories... but not something like this.

So she's staying put, quiet and melancholic and frustrated and scared. ]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[And so Ven extends a hand]

Let's try. I know the others will want to help too. Considering all the things we've gone through, and all the things we've managed to do, if we're together this oughta be a snap.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

... I don't know, Ven...

[ She takes a step forward, then steps back, unsure. She doesn't want to waste his time on a situation that might just not really have that chance. Her hand does twitch, wanting to believe, but the events from her home... urgh. ]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Lots of things seem impossible until you try. Remember what I told you? Right now, I shouldn't even be awake, here, talking to you. But I am.

[He'll be as patient as it takes, because he's not going to give up on her that easily. From what she's said, she's made her sacrifice already - it's unfair that she should wind up doing it all over again]

This world's not the same as where we're from. We can figure something out.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ It takes her a while to respond, because... really? His words and persistence are starting to get through her thick head but there's that constant whisper of doubt.

What if it's all a lie, like my life before was?

... No, she can't think like that of Ven. Maybe there is something, but time...

Ahh... Baby steps! Look, Ven! She's taking small steps towards your hand there. ]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[And he'll remain where he is, hand waiting for her]

If there's anything I've learned here, it's to have faith.

[Even when it's hopeless, even when it seems like success is far from guaranteed. He believes, and it's clear in his voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Small hand goes for Ven's! ]

I... I want to try and believe that...

[ But of course, she still has her doubts, but it's a start, right? ]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[When it's close enough, he'll catch and hold that hand]

We'll figure something out, I know it.

[It's definitely a start, and Ven will try to have enough confidence for them both. Anything's possible with your friends, after all]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ His hand is warm, a contrast to the sort of cold she's feeling inside. All she can do now is nod, because anything she could possibly say would just dampen Ven's hopes (as well as her own). ]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Aw Xion. Here, have a hug, it looks like you really need one]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Ah...

[ A hug! She... certainly hasn't been held like this before. It's strange, but not in a bad way, to which the act proceeds to make something tight in her chest loosen up.

She returns the hug, if a bit tightly. ]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Xion should never be deprived of hugs, that's simply a travesty. So she's getting hugged good and proper now]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Aw, Ven. Totally can count on you for all the good things. She hugs tighter, but still being careful of her, well... helmet. ]
