I guess her profile does say she's good at "whacking things."

[ Akane laughs. ]

And she's armed with a stick!

[whitewalls]

I'm not sure why they gave her a stick...

[ why does no one have their keyblade god ]

[specialdog]

It's like a mean joke!

But it's better than getting nothing, I guess?

[whitewalls]

... well, some people actually did arrive with nothing.

[ and one of them is dead now so she's going to change the subject ]

If you want to know more about Xion, you should ask her. She's an interesting person.

[specialdog]

[ whaaaat, you don't wanna talk about dead people??? ]

I'll be sure to get to know her, too!

[whitewalls]

Maybe you'll become friends.

[specialdog]

Maybe! It can be so hard to predict--you never know how much or little you'll have in common with someone.

[whitewalls]

... I guess you're right.

Not everyone will really get along.

[specialdog]

Mm. And to be honest, I'm really not good with people...

[whitewalls]

Really?

[ she sounds surprised. ]

[specialdog]

[ Akane laughs. ]

Everyone always seems so startled... But it's like--whenever I'm in a new situation, things can be kind of difficult, you know...?

[whitewalls]

You just don't give that impression outwardly...

[ she still remembers their very first conversation. ]

That's a strength.

[specialdog]

Sometimes things go really well and everything feels pretty natural... But then other times it's harder.

Does that ever happen to you?

[whitewalls]

It does. It's easy to want to give up, when things don't go right the first time...

[specialdog]

Right? And then sometimes they just keep going wrong, over and over... Like, bad luck comes in threes?

Or something like that. It doesn't stop there. [ if only it stopped at three. >:T ]

[whitewalls]

... eventually the luck will change.

[ she shakes her head. ]

I think you'll be able to change it into something good.

[specialdog]

You really think so? It cheers me up to hear you say that!

[whitewalls]

Mm. Even if it doesn't happen right away... eventually.

[specialdog]

So you're the optimistic type, huh? I guess you'd have to be to try to come back from tampering with something like someone's memories. ♪

When you mess with stuff like that, you can really change who a person is, huh?

[ Akane says this as if she's... Just playfully curious! Maybe a little thoughtless, but it's probably just that she doesn't realize how mean she's being! :) ]

[whitewalls]

[ oh

she looks down at her hands, since it's a little difficult to look at akane for a bit. ]

I'm not sure about optimistic...

[ about other people, maybe, but not really for herself. ]

[specialdog]

No? But weren't you just saying that things will get better?

[whitewalls]

I was talking about you.

[specialdog]

But how could you know that for me, when you barely know me?

What makes it not true for yourself?

[whitewalls]

[ ... ]

I think... that you probably have things you want to do after all of that. I should get going.

[specialdog]

You don't want to hang out with me?

[ Akane looks so hurt... You've hurt her feelings... So mean... ]
