old and new

[skybright]

[the door to the room hosting a replication of the Keyblade Graveyard is open at the moment. oddly enough, it's not quite as barren as it normally is; there are small flowers scattered about amongst the keys and by the look of things, starting to line the "paths" through them. Sora is slowly making her way further into the room, feeling an overwhelming sense of awe, with more than a little sadness to go along with it. she'd never thought something like this existed, but the place seems so... empty. lost.]



(ooc: idk if there's gonna be spoilers, aside from the place (which is shown in the secret ending in KH2 for cryin' out loud so I didn't think it would need a cut P: ))

[there's someone else walking along the paths besides just Sora. he seems bemused by all the flowers, and after a while he'll gesture with one hand, helping them to grow.]

[skybright]

[once she notices him there, she nearly jumps in surprise. she's wary, because pink hair is pretty much an automatic bad in the dressing room.]

[he happens to glance up and see her, one eyebrow raising. he doesn't otherwise move.]

Sora.

...you

[skybright]

Hi.

[shifts a bit, smiling hesitantly.]

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

Come to seek a new Keyblade?

[skybright]

Huh? No, I just... found this place.

[she looks out over the sea of discarded weapons, frowning.]

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

I've often wondered today how so many could lay abandoned. Would they not seek another strong Heart to wield them?

[skybright]

Maybe... maybe it doesn't always work that way.

[especially with all that master and apprentice stuff.]

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

I wonder what would happen if one were to attempt to claim one of these for their own.

[skybright]

I don't think it'd work. And it'd be... wrong.

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

Would it really? Your Keyblade is passed down, is it not? How would you feel, to know that one day yours could end up with the same fate as the ones here? No owner, no one it will ever be passed to again.

[skybright]

I didn't choose to have the Keyblade. I didn't steal it from... from some graveyard or whatever this is. Coming in here and taking it just 'cause you want it would be wrong. Maybe one day they'll have a purpose again, but it won't be because someone just decided they wanted a weapon.

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

With as many people that are in this strange world, are you so sure of that? Who's to say someone otherwise helpless and unarmed wouldn't see this room as a haven?

[skybright]

It doesn't mean they'd be able to wield it, whether they needed it or not. The Keyblade is... is more than just a weapon. It's a responsibility.

[...she's learned a lot while here.]

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

Suppose they are able to wield it. Would you hold it against them?

[skybright]

Why would I? Even if I don't think people should take the Keyblades here, it doesn't mean I own them.

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

[he shrugs, voice mild.]

You're the one who suggested it would be stealing.

[skybright]

It still would be.

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

So who is it that gave you yours?

[skybright]

No one did. It appeared suddenly when Heartless attacked my home.

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

How do you know it wasn't one from a place just like this one, summoned to you? After all, it had to have come from somewhere.

[skybright]

But I didn't take it. I didn't even know about it, and I'd never seen a Keyblade before in my life.

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

Yet somehow you were able to wield it well enough to grow quite formidable. Have you ever wondered if that was the Keyblade's doing as well?

[skybright]

No. I grew up having swordfights with Riku... even if they weren't real swords, I had practice. I had to learn how to best use it.

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Do you think you would have known what to do with it if you hadn't had that experience?
