oathbreakersK--Kairi!
[Riku sounds surprised, but also excited. What has he found?]
You've got to come see this. Deck 12--around the left side of the luggage.
[Riku's on the luggage deck, off to one side sitting on the floor. Scattered around him is an entire collection of interesting things, including a bunch of Disney movies--but what -Riku's- looking at is a game. Yeah, he's holding Kingdom Hearts I and II, and is staring at them both. There's a PlayStation 2 nearby, and you can bet he's planning on figuring out how to play these things.
What in the -worlds- has he found here?]

Date: 2010-09-12 07:32 pm (UTC)And I already know about Kairi's heart. She told me herself.
[He's ignoring the Maleficent thing. He's not -tagteaming- with her, he's -using- her. That's what it is.]
in which Kefka rails against the fouth wall and is very, very preachy
Date: 2010-09-12 07:58 pm (UTC)You say that he's lost the fight for Kairi's heart? Don't you? Now, what he's doing with the keyblade is saving worlds from the heartless. If he didn't do this, then they would be consumed. Thousands, millions of hearts lost, just like Kairi's! But with his blade, he can prevent another such tragedy! Dozens of them!
Now, Riku, what's one girl verses all that? He's still going to save her--every world he goes to gets him closer to the man who attacked Destiny Islands and the villains who steal hearts--but he's saving everyone else along the way!
Now, normally, with my job, I'd tell you to work with Malificent and that darkness won't eat your soul, but since I am capable of seeing the true nature of things now, that even if you had the experience needed for such manipulations, you'd still be swept along, let me tell you:
Don't let the plot drive your hand! Subvert the story whenever you can! You're trapped as the rival-turned-evil-turned-good in this tale, permanently cast in your descent to villainy before your mousy redemption, but you can change! Let your characterization drift! A character pulled from their homeworld is not static, a character is never static, so throw off the narrative chains, forget your grudges and evolve! Don't let yourself become a hollowed out shell like they're trying to do to me! Dammit, Dissidia!
[And he looks up to the sky and mutters under his breath, "Don't take it as an insult, Abi; I always rail against plot. Dissidia!me's meta is washing off on me. He's gorgeous so far, plays like a charm, mine's got half a mind to lurk if not go hop into chat sometime."]
Stay you! Be you and change as you! And if you see Setzer, kick him in the fork!

Date: 2010-09-12 08:27 pm (UTC)7/Nope I lied. DANGIT KEFKA INSTIGATING ~CHANGES~ I AM SO SORRY XDDD
Date: 2010-09-12 08:29 pm (UTC)So what if Sora's saving other people from a fate like Kairi's? She should come -first-, especially if he's as infatuated with her as he acts.]
8/FINALLY DONE! 8D;
Date: 2010-09-12 08:38 pm (UTC)Besides. Real life doesn't follow those sorts of plot devices. I am me. I'm not following some sort of pre-conceived path.
[Maybe.
Behind Riku, Abi's breaking the fourth wall herself and is giving THE BIGGEST THUMBS UP EVER :DDDDDDDDDDb No offense taken, Kefka! Also, she may or may not be silently going all "DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IIIIIIIIIT ♥" Just sayin'. :D]
[ooc: aaaaand I forget to fix the title. /facepalms]
KEFKA LIKES INSTIGATING, HE'S A LITTLE TROLL WHEN HE'S NOT DESTROYING STUFF XD
Date: 2010-09-12 09:00 pm (UTC)It seems so real, you know, but it's still a game! I know all the history of my world, spent years researching it--I can tell you about the streets of my city, my childhood, my schooling, the cultural significance of what I'm wearing; I can sing from a dozen different operas, tell you stories from my grandmother and recite the national anthem that helped build up the cult of personality that ruled my hometown since I was twelve; I can describe to you how I gained each of my magics, how they work, the science behind the magic and what I did to master them all.
AND IT WAS ALL A LIE! My hometown is three screens and ten buildings, I look like a clown and there's no context for all my hard work! All my achievements were part of the plot!
YOU'RE A CHARACTER IN A GAME!!! NOTHING IS REAL!
[Hold on, he's gotta catch his breath. Rage-yelling takes a lot of lung space, and even a mage like himself has to take a break once a while.]
and 2/2 |D
Date: 2010-09-12 09:01 pm (UTC)Also, you should come to my world. There's guy with his dead girlfriend in the basement, spends all his time trying to save people rather than bring her back. You'd be buddies. You can help him save his girlfriend and not plot against me, how's that?
[And a thumb's up back at Abi; a fourth-waller's gotta do what a fourth-waller's gotta do.]
/officially dead XDDDDD
Date: 2010-09-12 09:22 pm (UTC)He was crazy. And crazy people always thought they were perfectly sane, didn't they? It made perfect sense!
So then Riku just stares.]
You--you're crazy, aren't you?
[He's got to be!]
How would you know if you were from a game or not, anyway? And this-- [He gestures about them, the bowels of the ship] --what about this? Is this some part of that game, too?
/USES A PHOENIX DOWN
Date: 2010-09-12 09:37 pm (UTC)[You used the c word. Kefka knows he's got mental illnesses, but that has nothing to do with his evil or his ability to see the fourth wall, dammit.]
I'm a god! I'm allowed to know this stuff! I see things as they really are, not as the game-makers want us to be! And yes, this ship is a game, but a different kind! I'm not actually speaking; all of this is text!
[He stops and glares.]
But you're too caught up in the fiction to notice, I bet!
no subject
Date: 2010-09-12 10:18 pm (UTC)So what if I am? Reality's only what you make of it anyways! Maybe you're just too concerned with--with conspiracy theories and blaming invisible puppetmasters for your own mistakes!

Date: 2010-09-12 10:32 pm (UTC)[And it's back to fuming!]
Are you a slave to the constrains of the page or will you break the fourth wall?!

Date: 2010-09-12 10:49 pm (UTC)What? Nobody's doing anything to me!
What about you? Is there someone behind you pulling your strings, then?

Date: 2010-09-12 10:51 pm (UTC)[Cranky today, aren't we.]
Shut up. At least I haven't brought in the freaky colored text!
no subject
Date: 2010-09-12 11:03 pm (UTC)But he doesn't. And that's a little bit frightening.]
Who are you talking to?
[Yes, he is still ignoring that sense of being laughed at.
He's also smart enough to keep his question about "what freaky colored text? What are you talking about?" to himself.]
