013; video; March 1st, morning

[Aqua was sitting by a window, with her knees draw up and the communicator balanced on top. She leaned back against the wall, posture relaxed.]

I've been wondering, does anyone come from a world with magic? If so, would you mind telling me a little about it?

[She reaches out a hand to steady the communicator when it slides a little to the left before righting it again.]

I specialized in magic back home, so I'm curious about what kinds of magic exists in other worlds.

[ private to Clover ]

I found a copy of the Grimm's Fairy Tales in the library. [She smiled.] I really enjoyed it; thank you for recommending it to me.

You make it sound like such a bad thing.

[For Aqua, it was hard to imagine not trying to hold onto some hope, however small it was. It was the only reason she'd survived in the Realm of Darkness.

Anything in excess is harmful, even traits typically associated with positivity.

[Rose hopes, but she metes it out with large amounts of pragmatism. optimism needs to be controlled so she doesn't end up looking like a blind fool.]

I know. But there's no use worrying about it now.

Whatever we do, we can't change how BREW works...and even if it doesn't send us back in the end, that just means we'll have to find a way to get back ourselves.

Personally I'd rather not waste my time completing a monumental quest for an item which we can't even be absolutely certain will hold up its end of the bargain when it comes time to collect. If another way to return must be found, I'd like to begin looking for it as soon as possible.

[SHE JUST DOES NOT HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR BREW BEING LEGIT]

Then don't do it for BREW. Do it because people need your help and you have the power to help them.

In my previous world I was full to the brim with people both in need and more dearer to my heart than the insipid population of this world. I will not kowtow to what amounts to a ransom demand simply because they cannot handle themselves in a world that holds no intrinsic value to me.

[she is so fucking jaded it's a miracle her acidity hasn't melted the face off some poor passerby]

[That's not a sentiment she can really relate to. Saving strangers wasn't a new thing to her. It was what she was supposed to do, helping anyone who needed her help. It was part of her duty as a Keyblade Master.]

I understand that it's difficult to be dragged away from the people you care about, but I don't think the people here wanted this to happen either.

I know this world doesn't have anything to do with me, but I can't imagine just sitting by and do nothing while there's still something I can do.

We'll have to agree to disagree in the regard, as I'm increasingly suspicious that they had quite a good idea of what would happen if they followed through with their actions.

I by no mean advocate apathy in the face of danger such as this world provides at every turn, but I refuse to be forced onto a path I do not wish to walk by outside forces. Kowtowing to their demands does nothing to stop them.

They seem like good people. I don't see any reason to believe they'd did this on purpose.

They seem like complete imbeciles incapable of managing their own conflict. It wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility for them to unload it onto whoever they could.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this.

I believe so. Such is the way of the world when diametrically opposed opinions clash.

[She shakes her head a little (not that Rose could see) before smiling.]

Besides that, how have you been?

Tolerable enough, vast difficulties grappling with the aforementioned issues of this universe aside. I'm fairly adaptable, believe it or not.

I'm glad to hear that.
