Eight Flare - Video - Bearer of Bad News

[Lea does not want to do this. He would rather break his own arm, stab himself, then do this.

But Ven wasn't just his friend. He can't keep this a secret.

Still, the sentiment, the heartbreaking sadness... It's written all over his face as he turns the SFC on. His throat is so tight, he can barely choke out the words.]

Ven... He's...

[Oh god why is he doing this. Why does he have to repeat this?]

He.. He won't be here for a while. There was something with Vanitas and he... he...

[Lea can't go on. For all his tough guy, nonchalant attitude that he usually has, this hits him hard at his weakest moment. He breaks down crying, slumped over and pressing a hand against his eyes.

The feed cuts out.]

[Locked to Lily]

[A few minutes later, it comes back on again, directed at a single person. The tears are hidden... But that's mostly because Lea hasn't removed his hand. He still looks a wreck.]

Is... Is that couch still open...?

[In a small, now lonely, apartment, a SFC clatters to the ground. No. This is... This is all his fault...]

[ She doesn't know what's going on, but it's obviously bad. ]

Of course it is, Lea.

[ Locked ]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Th-thanks...

_[Hiccup.]

Where... do you live again?

[ Locked ]

[doeacharm.livejournal.com]

Phasma apartments.

...

Will you be able to get here alright?

[ Locked ] - [action]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Yeah, I should...

_{[The feed cuts out. Some time later, Lea arrives at the front doors, loosely holding two ring like weapons (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081005063420/dynastywarriors/images/8/8e/Sol_Chakram_DW4.jpg) his hands. The tears have dried on his face, and he just looks like he's in a daze.]}

[They haven't met before, but there's anxiety in Danny's gaze as he watches the other cry. Another death- more sadness. Is this what Vatheon's all about, in the end? This suffering?]

...I'm sorry about your friend.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

_{[It takes a while for Lea to respond, and he's still practically choking back sobs.]}

I'm never quick enough...

[evil-puberty.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't quite knew what to say to that, but he has to try. Something; anything, he's not sure. It'd actually be good to have his sister here, right now.]

Ventus- he didn't seem like the kind of guy to blame anyone. [His throat is tight, thinking about the blond he shared ice cream with.] You know-

[evil-puberty.livejournal.com]

I bet he'd feel really bad if he saw how upset you are.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

He... He was smiling when... How can anyone look that peaceful? Why?

[savage-nymph-12.livejournal.com]

[She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. This kid had helped her when she needed, so she was returning it. She felt as though she indebted to him and now she was returning it.]

Relax, I have returned after being killed, than I'm sure he will too.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

I... I know, I heard from Isa, but... It's just- frustrating, you know?

I feel like I keep getting my ass handed to me when people need me most! He shouldn't have had to die. I should've... done something...

...How long is it going to take?

[savage-nymph-12.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know.

People die. You just have to get use to it.

I have no idea.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I guess I will. <sub>[Unbeknown to most people, he's been slowly contemplating learning how to fight- not just a scrap, but for real, with the intent to kill.

He thinks treating these things like normal fights.. Maybe he's holding himself back. But he doesn't mention this.]</sub>

But hey, looks like you were worried about me, Larx. _{[Lea gives a weak grin.]} Didn't know I was so special.

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

Lea... H-Hey--

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

...I hate this... I hate being so freakin' weak...

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

Showing emotion isn't weak.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

I couldn't save him! I couldn't do anything!

That's how it always is! Someone I care about gets into trouble, and I can never do anything for them!

*Selphie gasps into the SFC, a face full of worry*

Lea!

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Selphie...

_{[His voice is wobbling, and he gives a hiccup.]}

[dystopiadreams.livejournal.com]

Lea...where are you? What happened?!

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Ven... He...

_{[The hand drops from his face, revealing how red his eyes are and the tears that are still welling up in them. He begins to babble.]}

After what Vanitas did to Isa, he didn't want him to get away anymore so he took us with him to try and talk to him but there was this fight and he was separated and if I had just been a bit quicker, he wouldnt've died and it doesn't matter if he comes back because he shouldnt've... Shouldnt've had to...

_{[Another hiccup.]}

He died in my arms...

[video]

[homewooork.livejournal.com]

Lea--

... Ven is...?

[ Olette is wide-eyed and concerned and WHY IS HE CRYING-- ]

[video]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

_{[Because he seriously doesn't know how to deal with this. Jeez, Vatheon, keep hitting him like this, why dontcha.]}

D-Dead... _[Hiccup] He's... He's dead...

[video]

[homewooork.livejournal.com]

[ and there's just a choked-off gasp and... utter silence. She did lose about all the color in her face, though. ]
