► twelfth sketch [Video]

[The feed opens to the view of Olivine beach, held by its owner as she records the horizon and ocean for a while. It records silence for a few moments before the owner speaks up, sounding hesitant.]

... if you've done something wrong in the past that hurt a lot of people, and every one of them said that it was alright and that they didn't blame you...

... but... you still feel guilty over it...

... how do you go about forgiving yourself?

[There's more silence and then an audible sigh, before there's an elephant trumpet sound, and Namine giggles as a Phanpy clambers and obscures half the view of the camera.]

No, this isn't for playing. Come on.

[The feed cuts off.]

... w-what? But it's something horrible...!

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[She pulls out her gear as she bends down to pet the pachyderm-mon.]

It's supposed to be a ground type, but he likes water just the same.

... the pokedex said even if they're small they're unnaturally strong though.

[It's a cute elephant thing. That can lift her easily, although she's yet to figure that out.]

[Video] Yeah, there's parts of Kingdom Hearts that'd skeeve him pretty hard. :|

...If a "shadow" is aware and has an identity, wouldn't it still count as "somebody" in the end? Even if a person was just supposed to be a replica, an echo, or even a shell, if they're aware of themselves, then they'd be "Somebody".
[] If something that was never meant to have a will or mind of its own - a machine - were to start speaking to you and express an identity, reactions to its surroundings, and wanting to learn, would you consider that a "person"?

....yes. [She won't say that she still is, though.]

[Blink blink.]

... isn't that a bit harsh?

[She's still slightly confused, so she just nods.]

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Mm. But I'm glad I got responses too. Some people have been helpful.

It kind of is. But I want to move on. I'm just having trouble getting there.

Then if they say they've forgiven you... and that you didn't have any blame for it... Shouldn't you trust that too? Wouldn't they know who deserves to be forgiven?

They'll get over it.

[usedgrassknot.livejournal.com]

So the witch has ambitions to be a girl, hmm? I wonder what they'll make of that.

[ there's a long stretch of silence when the feed on Suzaku's end opens before he actually even says anything. heeee's thinking... and not coming up with anything, which makes him not want to respond at all, but then he realizes it's recording so he may as well be useless. ]

... I don't know.

[dnoteworthy.livejournal.com]

That's basically it, yes.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... [ wow. There's a long pause, because Rise can't just say "bad", and be done with it. ]

I guess... more than anything, I'd want to know why.

[video]

[checkingmyemail.livejournal.com]

Just tell them you're sorry. And if you still feel guilty, make it up to them in the future.

video.

[miniworth]

[ He thinks a few moments. ] If it was me, I don't think I'd try to forgive myself.

... I guess that rather destroys the purpose, huh.

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[He's given this kind of thing a bit of thought, really. Had nothing else to do, after all.]

...You have to come to terms with the idea that there's nothing you can do about it now and move on. No one can change the past.

[Audio]

[dead-black-eyes.livejournal.com]

What? Why?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

...weird. Ground types are usually weak to water.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I know. But he seems to like it so much. And he doesn't have a lot of Ground type moves too. I'm starting to think the pokedex might be wrong-- ah!

[As she talks the Phanpy scoots close near the water as well, placing the tip of its trunk in the water before coming back to them. It flaps its ears as Namine continues explaining, as if looking eager to prove that yes, she likes water, before


-- dousing them both with water from its trunk.]

Get a new job and give your best at that instead.

[thebelsareinert]

Maybe I can help. You mind?

[ video ]

[uuing]

Maria thinks that anyone who is sorry can be forgiven, uu-. If you feel sorry and really want to be their friend again, then they will want to be friends with you again too. Maria is sure of it!

[ video ]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Did you ever had a friend like that?

[Video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

But I'm the one who did wrong so...

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I guess I've been looking for an answer because it is tiring to be always guilty, but I can't force it to go away.
