Recipient: EVERYBOOOOODY (yeah yeah)

Hey guys, Rokurou here! That last story was pretty crazy, huh? But another job well done...I think?

[He's pretty sure the story changed from the original, but you know what, this version is so much cooler.]

Anyway, two things.

One, we should throw a party to celebrate! I mean we did succeed, right? So why not have a party for it? I can help supply the meat, Eizen can help with the drinks. [Yes, he did just volunteer Eizen for this without asking. Yep.] Everyone can be invited, especially if anyone new has arrived. You, too, Disciple :P

Second, has anyone else planted that stone we got as part of our reward? I got alcohol flowing out of mine and it's awesome. Too bad it's only one type, so still going to have to bother you, Eizen.

Oh, Cyrus! I was thinking we need to somehow go back to that candy place and see if we can take a piece to try and plant it here. Maybe it'll work?

Anyway, back on that party, since it's getting warmer, we could have a barbecue or something, maybe down by the river. Get a few steaks and ribs going, grilled fish. Kotori your pot can make just about anything, right?

Let's just pick a day to kick back and relax, how does that sound?

[Party! Party! Party!

ooc: just a side note that this entry is going out before Hyde decides to smack the wall. OH and threadjacking is A-OK this is completely public so have fun.]

A party? Sounds like a good way to celebrate. Sort of like icing on the cake, right? I know of a nice clearing along the river that would make a good spot for a party.

I planted mine, yeah. Yours makes alcohol? What's that?

[rokubro]

In that case, I'll leave the location to you, Roxas. Just tell me where it is and I can help with the prep.

As for alcohol... I can understand you never having it, but you've never HEARD of it? Seriously?

[twilightskey]

Okay! I'll make sure it's clear before letting you know.

Well, there's a lot of foods I've never heard of before, and back where I'm from I never thought to go looking into it. Never really had much of a chance to, after a while. So a lot of the food I'm having here, I'm having for the first time.

[rokubro]

If you need any help, just let me know. I'll never turn down a fight.

[Of course. But uh. Huh.]

Is that so? Normally I'd say I'd have you try everything, but in this case alcohol is for adults, haha. It's a type of drink that loosens you up a bit and is what make people drunk if you're familiar with that. We'll have other drinks, though, so you won't have to worry about it.

[twilightskey]

I'll let you know if I do.

Drunk? [That one question probably gives Rokurou enough of an answer.]

[rokubro]

[....Roxas you sweet summer child.]

...I'm going to have to take you to one of the taverns just so you know what to look out for.

[At this point he's legitimately concerned about Roxas's safety.]

[twilightskey]

Alright...

Well, as long as there’s other things to drink, then it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

[rokubro]

Yeah you won't have to worry about it.

[Probably.]

You can bring other food and drinks if you want, too, though.

[twilightskey]

I was thinking about doing that. Your bamboo grove makes alcohol, right? Mine makes sea salt ice cream!

[rokubro]

Sea salt ice cream?

[twilightskey]

Yeah, it's a flavour that was pretty common back home. It's salty, yet sweet. It's really good!

[rokubro]

Is it actually made out of sea salt?

[twilightskey]

No, I don't think it's MADE of sea salt, but it's got sea salt in it.

[rokubro]

Guess that makes sense. Can you imagine ice cream actually made completely out of sea salt? Man that would be terrible!

But sure, bring some with you. I'm kind of interested in tasting this.

[twilightskey]

How could you imagine such a thing, that would be disgusting!

Sure, I'll bring as much as I can!

[rokubro]

I'm a daemon, imagining weird things is what I do.

[No it's not, he's just messing with him.]

Just let me know if you need help. Have a cart you can borrow if you need it.

[Okay how much is he expecting here—]

[twilightskey]

A daemon?

I dunno if I can bring that many, but if I need it I'll let you know!

[rokubro]

Person who got corrupted by his own vices.

[VERY SHORT VERSION OF THE EXPLANATION it works.]

[twilightskey]

You mean like a Heartless?

[Cause that's what he's reminded of, at least.]

[rokubro]

Depends on what a Heartless is.

[twilightskey]

They're monsters that consume people's hearts. If someone lets their heart be filled with too much darkness, they turn into Heartless themselves.

Is that the same thing as a daemon?

[rokubro]

Yeah, guess that's pretty much it.

Huh, didn't think other worlds would have something similar, but guess it's not too surprising in the grand scheme of things.

Do the Heartless generate "darkness"?

[twilightskey]

No, they don't generate darkness, but they're born from it. From the darkness in people's hearts.

But wait, you're not trying to corrupt others or consume the heart of this world. So maybe daemons and Heartless aren't the same.

[rokubro]

I'M not, but I could if I wanted to.

[Ha ha ha.]

Everyone generates malevolence, or darkness I guess, but daemons have it in spades. If they don't have control over it, it can just seep out and affect those around them. It's not instantaneous, but enough exposure can influence the malevolence within others and make them more susceptible.

For daemons, malevolence is like power. The more you have, the stronger you are, so daemons will fight and kill others to increase their own or absorb more. I'm not really interested in all that, and I keep my malevolence pretty well contained so it won't be a problem. But it's not impossible.

[twilightskey]

That sounds a lot like Heartless and how the darkness works. So I guess they both are similar.

[He pauses for a moment, and then he writes some more.]

I guess it's okay, since you're not a bad person. I know that good people can use the darkness, too. Just don't go trying to destroy the world or hurt people. I'd have to thrash you if you did.
