drops of jupiter.

[ so that was a lot, especially since it was keith’s first time coming face-to-face with a commander. he knows everyone must be tired and emotionally drained, but they have a lot of things they need to talk about. things that can’t wait to be sorted out. he has to collect his thoughts first, though--he’s not sure how to feel about this exactly, but he knows he’s feeling a lot of things. keith needs time to process everything, and he goes off to be alone for a little while.

eventually, michael, kayneth, ignis, camilla, and bucky bring over some food for the gang. it’s a much needed meal, and maybe some people want to eat in peace. unfortunately, keith is keith, and he thinks now is the best time to have a discussion. ]

Look, I know I’m not in the best position to say this, especially after how I acted back there. But unless anyone has any better ideas, we need to go to that lake and see the Guardian. We have to try. If that’s part of the solution to saving these people and going back home, then there’s really no other option.

[ he’s saying this with a calm head this time. he’s frustrated, clearly, but he’s speaking firmly and with nowhere near the same aggression he held earlier, back when he wanted to attack jupiter.

he doesn’t believe that he can be the leader anyone needs him to be. not here, not back at home. but it’s not going to stop him from trying to do what he feels is right. ]

And if we need someone to scope it out before we act, then I’ll do it.

Guess it doesn't work that well for some of them. Wonder if it'll be that way for Sunflower. He's small now, but they get pretty big.

[nightcure]

It'd be nice if it did work for every one of them.

Sunflower?

[niceoppai]

Oh, here he is.

[She lets out a Munchlax from his ball. He immediately flops over onto the ground and whines.]

Come on, I just fed you!

[nightcure]

[ He chuckles a little. ]

Hey there, Sunflower.

[niceoppai]

[The Munchlax gives a "mrr" and turns up his lack of nose.]

Come on, be nice... Sorry, he's been kind of difficult lately. I guess any personality is better than none.

[nightcure]

Hah, it's fine. It's kind of refreshing.

[niceoppai]

You think? I guess. 'Cause everything's just been kinda blank, right?

[nightcure]

Yeah. Kind of lifeless. It's... lonely, almost, even with so many people around like us.

[ He shakes his head. ]

No world should ever be like this.

[niceoppai]

You're right. Maybe she has a point that our worlds have gone through some pretty awful stuff, but nothing deserves just losing free will on top of it.
