♔ day 12 - Memory Theater curse ♔





[ooc: Viewers will see the full memory as depicted in video #1, but since I play Roxas with his English voice + dialogue in mind, both are here for reference; the memory sequence takes place from 3:47-4:24 in the second video.]

Roxas...?

We weren't supposed to see this, huh...

...You know, I don't think it's really true. About you not being able to feel. In fact, I think that's a load of crap. You miss your friends. That's a feeling. You have fun with them, there's another one. You get surprised and happy and sad, just like everybody else. You can feel.

Why would they tell you otherwise? I don't like it, it's not right...

[identity profile] binarysky.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
No, I can't. I'm Nobody. We don't have hearts to feel with. He was right.

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
...Okay, do you know what a heart is? It is an organ. It pumps blood in and out and all around the body. It does NOT, contrary to popular belief, cause emotions and feelings.

Those come from inside you. From your mind, your soul, from a part that can't really be defined, but that everybody, even a Nobody (whatever that is) has. If you couldn't feel, then you wouldn't be capable of having friends, or liking things.

You can feel. He was wrong.

I know how I'm different from real people. Nobodies are what get left behind when someone loses their heart.

[He doesn't understand it all, but he knows it's not that simple.]

You don't know what you're talking about.

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so? Doesn't mean you're not real and you can't feel...

...Maybe I don't understand what I'm talking about, but I've hung out with you here, and I know just from looking at you and seeing how you act that you can feel. With or without a heart.

Like I said...if you couldn't feel, would you miss your friends so much? Or like sea salt ice cream, or get nervous or have this pits-y feeling in your stomach when something goes wrong? If you couldn't feel...you wouldn't be able to do any of those things.

...Was that your boss? I don't think he's right. Plus, something about him creeps me out...

[identity profile] binarysky.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I can't. Just--stop it! Nobodies barely even exist. We're not the same as you.

Xemnas helped me. I wouldn't have had anywhere else to go.

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Roxas, stop!! You're not the same, okay, I understand that. I know I don't get everything, and that I can't really understand...so you don't have a heart. But you can feel. I've seen it!

...You don't have to listen to me, but...just think about what I said. And a person that barely even exists still exists. Believe me, I understand that one just as well as you.

[identity profile] binarysky.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Just--don't. You don't understand.

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a 'rotten hollow shell of a boy'. I understand better than you think.

...There's something wrong with me. I can't really explain it, because I don't understand all of it myself...

...but somebody once told me that I'm a shell of a person. And...I don't really know for sure, an maybe I don't wanna know, but...he might be right.

...So believe me. I do understand what it's like, not being complete.

...Please don't tell anybody...I don't really want people to worry. I thought you'd understand, though. And I trust you.

But if that's all you know, how do you know if he's even right?

...I won't tell.

...When I was younger, some stuff happened. I...don't like talking about it...

But that's how I know. And...well, I sort of have physical proof.

...Thanks, Roxas. You're a good friend.

That's okay. I don't always want to talk about stuff either.

I...I am? I'm just saying what's true.

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sometimes stuff isn't fun to talk about...

Well, you are. You understand, and listen, and you're honest...plus, I think you're fun to hang around with.

Thank you.

You're welcome. It's the truth, you know.

...Don't let what your boss said get you down too much. Like I said, I don't understand a whole lot, but I still think he's wrong.

...and I think I have a movie that you should see!

[Private | | Unhackable]

[identity profile] binarysky.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not what bothers me. It's everyone seeing it.

A movie? I've never seen a movie before.

You don't want people worrying or something like that, right? Concern, that's another emotion right there!

Well, I think you'd like this one. It's called 'The Wizard of Oz', its sort of a big deal. There's this character in it, the Tin Man, an he goes on a quest to get a heart, with a buncha his friend, who want stuff like brains and guts and a free ride home. It's good!

It's just...private. That was the first day I can ever remember.

That sounds kind of interesting...

Really?

I'm sorry you didn't have a better first memory...at least you've got good friends to help you make good memories, right?

It's really cool!! It's also got music, a witch, flying monkeys, and a horse that changes color!

It's not a bad memory. It isn't...anything.

How can a horse change color?

...I'm gonna find a way to get you a heart. Even if its just to convince you that you can feel.

You'll just have to see the movie to find out!

[identity profile] binarysky.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think you can just find one. We're trying to build a way to get them back home, but it takes a long time.

Okay...I think I can do that.

[Private | | Unhackable]

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll find one. Somehow, I'm gonna get you one, even if I have to look all over the City for one. Even if I have to talk to the deities, because dude, you can feel, and I just need to convince you!!

It'll be fun, too.
