31 Souls [Voice Post]

[soul_dissonance]

I can't believe this...

The sense of deja vu that I'm starting to get from all this is almost enough to give me a headache. ...My only hope is that it doesn't end up with me getting my life shortened again. The first cut was bad enough, and I've still got plenty of nightmares left to remind me of that. [Muttered] Why did I even have to think about that witch again...

Testament, do you remember that favor I asked you to do for me someday? How do you feel like taking me up on it soon. I need to work off some steam.

Maka, it's a spar. If it's cool with him, then come with us and make sure those gloves are still in good condition.

We might as well make sure we're in good shape before we try checking out the hospital... Not sure if we'll find what we're looking for there or not, but it's better than leaving things the way that they are. Especially now.
Bulma, keep your head up for an incoming project. We might be asking for a miracle with this one, depending on what we can find and how many pieces it's in.

Oi, and if anyone sees that Minato guy roaming around, then try to get him to slow down before he ends up killing himself. ...I'll pick up where he left off, if that's what it will take.

I am available. If needed.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Testament. I owe you one.

...How easily humanity will fall after such a proud moment...I'm not even certain what to do myself anymore.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Aah... Everyone was starting to cooperate, protecting the apartment buildings and each other from those monsters, and then once they disappeared the people here found a new reason to bicker between one another again. Can't say that I've never seen this before...

I've got a few things of my own to feel uneasy about.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

I have ears to listen.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Uh... All due respect, but... this feels new.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

I had a lot of time to think things over. You do not have to tell me anything you do not wish for me to know.

[1/2]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

...

Heh. I think I like this new you.

You have a cool style now that wasn't with you before.

[2/2]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

There's not really much to tell you that's new.

You already know about that twisted part of who I am, and it's not like it is something I could have avoided even if I chose never to tell you about it. The Black Blood inside of my body, and the madness that it brings with it.

Maybe... that's what made me worry about that guy the most when he talked about the new strength he found. Akihiko... He already had blood on his hands by then, and nothing added up about his story. I had my doubts. He felt like he was weak, and that staying with Jeanne was the only way he could grab a hold of that strength.

... I couldn't accept something like that. Not just because of what Jeanne was doing to him, but also because I know that isn't real strength. That demon inside of your head is the last thing you need, or else something much worse takes over.

He reminded me of that in the worst way.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

It certainly is humbling to behold such a thing being created in another...but I have no right to stop it as someone whom also willingly chose that path.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

You could say that.

That was one of the things that made me hope that he would see things clearly one day, to wake up and realize it... But he just pushed us all away, and then Shinji seemed to push back.

Nothing was making sense.

[Sigh] ...It still isn't. People are making the most key revelations over somebody else's dead body.

Today was no exception.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

Such is humanity, really.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

I'm getting a little sick of this pattern, to be honest.

If it were anywhere else, or if the rules were different, then death wouldn't mean the same thing that it does here.

People would be able to find some more strength and worth in what they have. Because it's the only chance they've got.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

Maybe the scientists will hear you...

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

...I guess I deserved that.

No. I'd probably catch hell if they suddenly decided to change the rules. Besides, I doubt that they're listening. They should be in bed by now, and so should I.

... There's just gotta be, more worth in a human soul than people give credit for. I just hope it's not too much to ask for people to realize that when they alive and sane enough.

Then again, who knows... maybe even I could end up turning against my own cool vision. I'm more human than a Weapon, after all.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

A bit opposite of myself...a weapon trying to learn to be human again.

Perhaps the weight of a human soul can be found in such trials.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

So far, so good.

Let's see how long we can both keep this up.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

I wish you the best on your journey, Soul.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Heh. Not sure if the road ahead is long or short, but I don't mind looking for the best in it.

.... Same to you, Testament.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

I have apparently missed something. What's going on?

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

It's sort of a long story.

I'll fill you in on that much if you push me hard enough, but the ending of it is that a friend ended up getting killed.

... Aah, that's right. Maka and I have been thinking of going to the hospital sometime to see if we can find anything to help with finding the location of the chips, like some x-ray equipment or something.

Interested?

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

I might push you later, when it all settles down some. Jeez.

Oh, I talked to Maka about that. I'm going.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

I'll probably deserve it. But unless you make Patty stand guard, I don't think you can do anything keep me down, Kid.

Cool. We could use you.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure she does.

I'm glad. It sounds like an event.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Me and my big mouth.

Uh... You know it's kind of creepy inside of the hospital, right?

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

You should get that fixed.

Is that supposed to scare me?

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Your hair should get fixed.

No, it's supposed to show you that it isn't such a "good" thing.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

HA. Your hair should get fixed. I'm sure you know what a comb is, right?

Did I say good? I said 'event'. Whether positive or negative, visiting would still be an event.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Touche. I don't have a problem with it though. I think my hair looks pretty cool just the way it is.

Haa. It's pointless even trying to argue with you.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

It's your signature look.

...It doesn't matter anyway. Just tell me when we're going.
