imaginedsoldier: (Confusion ☁ Can we take a chance?)

[The feed flickers a moment between audio and visual briefly before focusing on the sea-sky outside the window briefly, just beginning to glow with the light to mark the passing of yet another night. Its owner has been up all night, perplexed by recent conversations. This is the reason for the feed. He's normally quiet, having not really wanted to bother answering these messages on the SFC nor say much of anything, but due to the recent batch of newbies... Well, it's gotten his 'chocobo feathers' ruffled and not in a good way, mind.]

...Vatheon. [He pauses, as if double-checking the lock- okay, it's still blocking the message from one person he doesn't want to know about this.] What do you do when someone by your 'time' has done something unforgivable, but has no knowledge of it from the period they were brought here? Do you still hold them accountable, or do you treat them as innocent?

[Like he needs to ask if he should tell the General what it is that he did... Suicidal, much?]

Hello, Mister Cloud.

[It's been a while.]

If that happened to me... I'll do my best not to blame them for it. After all, they haven't technically done it yet.

They'll find out themselves in time. It's sad that they're going to commit a mistake, but we can't change the past after all...

Hey, Red.

[It has. Sorry for being a loner.

He listens quietly to the advice, nodding once. True, he hasn't done any of it yet, but he's still concerned about what could happen here if he found out about what will occur. After who knows how many times, it gets old fighting him over and over again.]


Yeah... They won't remember any of it when they go home. [Still... Ugh, this sucks.]

[Aw. Don't worry, Cloud. He still likes you! :D

And then, Red nods quietly. It's definitely sad, but they had to accept it.]


Just do your best... By now, since you're more aware, I'm sure that you'll be able to make the better decisions.

I believe that you can do it.

[Cloud likes you too, lil' bro. xD

He's silent for a moment, thinking it over. ...Well, the kid does have a point. He just hopes nothing from this comes to bite him in the ass.]


Mm. Thanks, Red.

[His first time filtering stuff ! \o/

But okay, that explains why something seemed different about Sephiroth in his SFC post; the guy doesn't seem bad right now. Onion Knight admittedly doesn't know much about Sephiroth outside of him being from Cloud's world, but while he's curious, he knows better than to pry.

Of course, this post could be about someone else, but he doubts it.]


What if they've come from another world where they haven't done anything wrong? I mean... I know [knew?] a Cloud who hasn't done the same things as you. What if that's the case here?

[Onion Knight: making your confusion worse, one theory at a time!]

[Not bad at all, kid. You're getting the hang of it- BRAIN. IT IS CLOSE TO EXPLODING FROM CONFUSION.]

...It's possible, though they knew everyone from the world I'm from, as well as events from back then.

[Also, can't help you out much there with the know/knew thing.]

[HE'S SO SORRY except not really. A long pause as he thinks this over. SO MANY THOUGHTS he's having a hard time lining them up. But one thing's certain; he refuses to believe the fate of someone (even someone who became a villain) is set in stone.]

...Maybe they won't do it. Maybe you can change something here and prevent it from happening when they go back.

[A small pause.]

I know people don't remember anything when they go home but... maybe they'll remember... [He puts a hand over his heart] in here.

[Good for you, Onion Knight. He wishes more were like that, but it's hard to say if it ever could be as though it never happens. He's from their future, he knows that he kills the man multiple times (why do they never stay dead?), so how could that be if Sephiroth...

Wishful thinking: Onion Knight is better at it than he is.]


...Something to keep them going mad from revelation?

[Because that's seriously the only thing he can think of that would change the course of time.]

If only it were that easy.

Changing things might not be easy, but shouldn't we try anyway?

[Getting a real thoughtful look over here.]

Why did the revelation make them go mad?

[He's never been content to just take statements as they are. He has to know why.]

Yeah...

[He sees that look, O.K.]

Because it and the reports he found made it sound to him that he was a monster. ...He certainly became one back home.

[Cloud doesn't want history to repeat. It was bad enough to see one planet almost completely destroyed twice.]

If they haven't done it yet, it doesn't seem fair to treat them like they had.

But you shouldn't have to act like nothing happened either. Whatever it is, it did happen to you, right?

[If it had been that bitch who had shot her and Kei-chan to death, Mion would have just beat the crap out of her. However, she knows that's not the sort of advice she can give to someone else.]

If they're from a time before such a thing occurred, it wouldn't be fair to blame them specifically. However, it also wouldn't hurt to be cautious and make sure they don't attempt to act it out here.

We'd all know right away if they do.

Don't know. Depends on how and when they find out about it.

If you're the only person here who knows about what happened, then all you have to do is not say anything. If not, you just have to prevent others from telling this person.

If he's different than he was before, maybe you should try befriending him. It's an odd thing to say, but the saying 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer' really does work.
