[Well, Tidus has looked more cheerful (haven't they all?). He doesn't even bother to try and appear otherwise. If he did, it would just come off as incredibly bitter and fake. He looks at the camera--glares--and speaks.]

It's just funny. Most of you were against the Darkness before. You acted like it was something evil, and you sure seemed pretty adamant about it. But now that someone's gone and made things a little bad and she's told you to give up, people are ready to listen to her! No one's any good possessed--that's just giving up. Sometimes I just want to...! [He puts his hands on his face, pacing around before he lets out one scream.]

How many? I'd like to know so that I know who I can count on and who's probably going to be fighting us before this whole thing is over. Because we need to come up with another plan, something that can take her down and get back the people she has.

We should do something instead of letting everything we've done so far mean nothing!

( she's frowning. she's frowning because she's not seen tidus so upset before and it upsets her to see him so frustrated.

it's true that she has no means to defend herself, but in the end, she's sided with darkness before and all had worked out for her. she had gained a friend, a place to stay and perhaps more. there was no way to know for certain, but maybe it would work out if she sided with tidus this time )

Tidus... I can do little to help but... ( she gives a soft and yet somehow firm nod to him ) I am on your side.

[the hardness in his expression fades somewhat, and he eases a little.]

Thank you. [that sounded quiet, so he speaks a little louder and nods, more certain.] We'll figure something out. We need to get together, and find a solution.

As I said, I am unfortunately not going to be able to do much of anything. I haven't many talents when it comes to anything offensive nor defensive, really. The most I can do is offer prayer to the gods. ( she frowns, but has a thought ) Perhaps I could talk Rumplestiltskin into aiding you.

[blitz_acing]

That's okay, I still want your input, and I'm grateful for your support. You wouldn't mind doing that?

[spellbreaking]

Talking to Rumple? Not at all, I can give it a shot. I am uncertain where his loyalties lie with this, but, I suspect he would be against her. ( after all, if something happens to this world they can't return to theirs, right? ) So, if you'd like, I will talk to him and ask that he join you against Maleficent.

That would be great. Thank you, Belle. If he doesn't, that's okay. But you're both people I know I can count on.

I will do my best for you, Tidus.

[darkerearth]

Who's listening to her? No one is actually giving up to her - not yet! [ he'll think otherwise until the end. what a stubborn butthead ]

[ audio ]

[blitz_acing]

Yet?

What's wrong, Terra? Why won't you show your face?

[ audio ]

[darkerearth]

[ he'll be quiet now. not wanting to make him even more angry ] ...

[ audio ]

[blitz_acing]

Show me, Terra.

[It's not working.]

[ audio ]

[darkerearth]

Show you what? What are you wanting me to do, Tidus?!

[ audio ]

[blitz_acing]

Show me your eyes.

[ audio ]

[darkerearth]

No.

[ audio ]

[blitz_acing]

...Damnit, Terra!

So it's okay for you to do it, but not anyone else?!

[ audio ]

[darkerearth]

What are you talking about?!

If you're upset about Leon, that's understandable. But don't just yell at everyone and take your anger out on them! Like I said, no one has given up!

[wavesinherheart]

It's understandable that people might be a disheartened, after all that. But I agree. We can't let her win again.

[blitz_acing]

We need to get together and have a meeting, so we can come up with a plan.

[wavesinherheart]

We do. But we'll have to make sure to keep anything that happens somewhere where she can't see.

[Filtered to Aqua]

[blitz_acing]

[he pauses before filtering the message.]

Where can't she see? And what if we had a fake plan?

[Filtered]

[wavesinherheart]

I don't know. But I know the less she knows the better we'll be able to do something.

[Filtered]

[blitz_acing]

We'll just have to be careful about this, and maybe put some effort into making her think otherwise.

[Filtered]

[wavesinherheart]

Right. It isn't going to be easy, but it's what needs to be done.

[audio]

[nameofexorcist]

Right, we need to regroup and devise a new strategy to stop her. [He's not an optimistic person, just determined.]

[audio]

[blitz_acing]

Yeah. We need to meet somewhere. Where's a good location for you?

[audio]

[nameofexorcist]

Traverse Town. Unless you have a more suitable location.

[ Whoa, temper, how are you doing today? It takes a moment for her to kinda... collect herself. Because, hey, she's never seen him this... angry before. Not that she can blame him for his frustration, but she's still... never been very good at handling confrontation. Even if... it's not directed at her exactly.

Her next words draw out carefully if not a bit meekly. ]

We... do need to come of with another plan... but... I guess the question is... what can we do? [ She's not one to just give up, no. But Never Was is nothing like she remembers it. And on top of that? It feels like right then? All the hard word they pulled- it's almost like it was done in vain. ]
