12 (The Fire Fighters)

[Video! Minnie is happily holding hands with Melfina to one side, and her Azumarril 'Mickey' to her other. She swings her arms, they're heading into Goldenrod! Surely nothing bad will ever happen there! And... she's singing. Which isn't so bad.... except it maaay get stuck in your head.]

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hopes, it's a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small small world

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world...

His truth, my truth... Aren't those just polite ways of saying lies?

[A little uncomfortable. He doesn't like being asked questions he can't really answer.]

There's no one else that can change the world, or even that is trying to bring about more truth. If I have to die to see it through [hesitation] then I will die.

[He is quiet for a while as she cries and then he sighs.] Don't cry for me; my life isn't even that terrible.

I... I can't help but cry... I know you have light within you, but you are being forcibly smothered... b-by darkness...

[Azumarril whimpers, worried for his master. He tries to pet her shoulder, but she can't stop crying, so deeply troubled.]

Truth... truth doesn't need blood, or pain... Your own truth is deep inside you... Only you can know what you truly want...

Not force, Minnie-san, I made the choices that made me what I am. There was always a choice.

[Quietly.] I want a world of truth. [And after a very long pause, reluctantly] Who creates it matters less, but he was the first so that's where my loyalty lies.

But you're following a blind path, no knowing where it ends! What if his truth is just putting himself in charge, and changing nothing else? What if his truth is hurting those who have done nothing? Surely... Surely you must have enough confidence in yourself, to know what you can make your own world of truth!

[Uncomfortable with the first part, but not responding to it]

It's not confidence that's needed, Minnie-san. I've just finished telling you how terrible I am; you were right that a world of truth would reject me.

[Oh no, you're not getting away that easily. She swallows, hard, rubbing away more of her tears. She then grabs the Pokegear, glaring at it. Still no hate - just anger, frustration, and a demand.]

Tell me what your truth is! Tell me what your world of truth is. Or are you still willing to work for nothing but an empty promise?

I won't give up on you, Kisame, because I know there is a chance for you to change your path. It may not happen today or tomorrow or for a long time... but I have faith in you. Tell me, Kisame, what is your world of truth!

[and... exhales deeply. as if just doing that had taken a lot out of her. she doesn't even know if she should expect an answer. but felt it had to be said.]

[He doesn't reply for a very, very long time and disappears from the screen almost immediately. When he does speak again, he sounds kind of far from his gear, which is now pointing towards the sky.]

If I had ever seen real truth, I would tell you.

[Another pause, not quite as long as the first. His voice is even quieter, possibly further away.] No need for treachery, no lies. A purpose, a reason to exist. No tools, I suppose, to be killed when they've outlived their use.

[So quiet it's probably not audible.] A place where I belong.

[Video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

... Kisame ...

[And she closes her eyes, allowing her breath to return to a normal pace. She holds the Pokegear tenderly again. A faint 'azuuuu' goes in the background.]

That world does exist. And I know you will find it.

[If he even heard her, there's no sign.

After a while Nuru waddles over and picks up the 'gear with a sad and confused sounding "siiiiiiiiire"]

((ooc: ...I totally felt bad that he made Minnie cry. >,>;;;; ))
