8th entry : Video - Joluk lacks the motivation to make his own entry

[filchedfruit]

[ There's a worried looking Chinese soldier looking at the screen. He's the same soldier who was insulting Joluk during the last Heartless battle.]

Am I using this right?

If anyone can see or hear me, I think there's something seriously wrong with Joluk.
He even refuses to eat!

[Anyone who knows Joluk would understand why this is so unusual.]

The Heartless are sucking the will out of him!
Normally, I could handle them but these are more persistent than usual.

Every time I push them back, they keep returning!

How could they get so close to our base?

[Hello, trigger word. Ven is instantly on the alert when he hears that.]

There's Heartless taking someone's will? Where?

[Video]

[filchedfruit]

[ The soldier reports the specific location, and shows the area in the video. Joluk appears apathetic to what's around him.Heartless are approaching him.]

Joluk! Get up!

[ The soldier starts trying to push the heartless back.]

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

[Okay, forget waiting, help's coming.]

I'm on my way!

[It's PORTAL TIME! Because Ven's not letting another person lose their heart.]

[Video]

[filchedfruit]

Thank you!

I'll continue to hold them off!

Don't need to risk yourself for me.

[[ooc: Joluk is in italics. Should I start a general action thread in this, since quite a few people are arriving?]]

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

Everyone's worth risking yourself for!

[You got a hero-type, Joluk. And Ven's methods of travel are... unconventional. Because hi portals, you work... instantly.]

((ooc: If you want to, go ahead, but Ven really would be there in five seconds flat. He's got a canon travel-cheat.]

[Hmmmm, well this is interesting. Not good, but interesting.]

Have the Heartless never been able to do this before?

[filchedfruit]

[ The soldier looks unsure.]

Not that I know of.
Not like this.
They eat hearts,but this isn't their usual method.

[caseofthetruth]

I see. Well, I believe I shall come and help if I can. Even if it is for investigative purposes.

[filchedfruit]

We're in the Land of Dragons, by the mountains.

[ The soldier gives a more specific location. The video shows the surrounding area and an apathetic looking Joluk.]

[watchesthesea]

What?! The Heartless are taking his will?

[She...didn't even know that was possible, but she knew something was different before.]

Don't worry, I'll come to help you.

[filchedfruit]

[ The soldier responds.]

They're doing something that's effecting him.

Please come! I'm in the Land of Dragons,by the mountains.

[ He reports the specifics of his location.]

[watchesthesea]

[She nods slightly, starting to make her way towards the docks.]

I'm on my way, please don't worry.

[filchedfruit]

[ The soldier nods back.]

Thank you.

I'll try to keep them off.

[wavesinherheart]

The Heartless are doing what?

video

[filchedfruit]

[ The soldier answers.]

Well, he doesn't have the will to fight or even run away.

They're focusing on him.

video

[wavesinherheart]

I've never heard of them doing that before. But if they are, someone's going to need to come to deal with them, before it gets any worse.

[filchedfruit]

[ The soldier looks stern. ]

I haven't seen anything like this in all the battles I've fought.

[ Joluk is too depressed to pay attention.]

[video]

[sanguineheels]

Joluk's in trouble? [There's an edge of genuine concern in her voice. She's only spoken to the young man once, but he seemed like a good person.]

Do you need help? I don't know how long it will take me to get there... But I want to help!

[video] -Joluk is in italics

[filchedfruit]

Yes.

Others have agreed to help, but I could use more reinforcements.

I'm in the Land of Dragons, by the mountains.

[ He gives more specific directions. He starts to address Joluk.]

People are worried about you!

I'm not worth it.

[video] T_T joluk nooo yes you are.

[sanguineheels]

I'll be there as soon as I can! Please try your best to protect him!

[The words she recognizes coming from the young man's mouth seem small, unlike the young man she'd only met a little while ago. She frowns, and shouts at the communicator.]

Yes you are! Of course you're worth it!

[video] -Allen has it worse

[filchedfruit]

Thank you! I'll do my best.

[ The soldier puts the communicator in front of Joluk, who keeps his face buried in his arms.]

Listen to her!

Why all this effort? I'm weak and useless.

No.

[ video ]

[handofdoom]

[ Albel's just watching with his arms crossed ]

Serves him right for being such a weakling if he can't handle the heartless.

[ video ] -italics is Joluk

[filchedfruit]

[ The soldier glares at Albel.]

If you've nothing useful to say, leave us be!

That guy has a point.

Shut up!

[ video ]

[handofdoom]

[ Albel actually blinks, looking confused ]

Hm, I was hoping for him to put up much more of a fight!

[ video ]

[filchedfruit]

[ That comment surprises the soldier.]

Well, these heartless appear to have taken the fight out of him.

I know I'm weak.
