Digiport 04

[A little bit after he talks to Mu and Shion on the Plane, Takeru comes back to the Plane, bringing with him some scenery - part of a dark beach. He walks along it, and stares into the water, before sitting down and looking at the sand. His mouth is moving, but there's no sound coming out.]

[[ooc; Mkay. Anyone with psychic abilities sufficient enough to pick up on emotions, feel free to catch a wave of conflicting emotions from him. Anyone with enough power to get into someone's head fairly easily... yeah, Kaiser!Takeru and regular!Takeru are having a sort of a mental argument.]]

[he approaches slowly, but not silently; he doesn't want to startle the boy]

Are you all right? [he's standing beside him, now, close enough to see the silent speech; his intrigue displays itself as concern]

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[He looks up, and sighs.]

It's been a long time since I came to this place. Not... the Astral Plane, but this beach.

It only shows itself when I'm upset...

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[quietly] It's been a long time, since you've been upset?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

I've been angry... exhausted... but not upset. Not like this.

... I first came here after my friend and my brother were killed.

[his eyes widen; after a moment, he places a gentle hand on Takeru's shoulder - and then, heavily] It is always more difficult, if you aren't used to it.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[He shifts a little at the contact, but it's a bit comforting.]

I came here more after my former friends turned on me. They didn't understand what had to be done. I think... they were being controlled. And I couldn't... I couldn't save them either. So I had to... let them be killed.

[His mouth twitched a little, almost amused at a sudden thought.]

Their data is probably still there, in that world. I can't find it, though. If I could, I might be able to bring them back. But... right now I guess I'm stuck just seeing codewalkers.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[there is no judgement in his expression, though his lips part in surprise; no, just a deep, understanding sadness] That's a terrible choice to make.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Shun's not a strong enough psychic to pick up on specifics, but he can tell something is going on.] Um..hello?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Takeru looks up at Shun.]

Oh... hello...

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

I'll be fine. I was just... thinking.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Oh. What were you thinking about?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

... People I've lost. What I need to do to make things right again. And how misguided those who are trying to stop me are.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Well the emotions catch his interest, but he's not one to pry much further unless he has to, so...]

You're troubled? [It's posed like a question, but it's really not.]

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[The fact that Mu picked up on it so quickly startles him.]

Yes.

[lamb_of_gold]

And what causes such feelings?

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[He almost laughs at that.]

Being reminded of death... of people who go off to fight and don't come back. Losing someone close to you, and feeling like you can't do a thing about it but just fight and search for those responsible.

[Takeru looks out at the 'ocean' again and his expression turns blank.]

... It's hard. It's even harder when you lose the same people as someone else, but you seem to be worse off.

[He stares down at his blank crest tag, and scoffs.]

Hope... maybe once upon a time. Not anymore.

[lamb_of_gold]

I am sorry.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[He's quiet for a long moment.]

... So am I.

[Tiny!derp thinks this beach is nice.

Thus, there is now a tiny!derp on your beach, poking around at the sand. 8D]

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Aww, tiny!derp. Takeru turns and watches her, wondering what she's doing there. Besides poking around in the sand.]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[...Oh there is another person here. Looks over at Takeru.]

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles weakly.]

Not really playing. More like thinking.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head.]

Just... stuff that's happened. Not fun stuff.
