[Blondie over here is sitting in a chair, twirling a rose in his hand.]

A bit preoccupied I have been with trying to learn more about this place. Of course, I still have much to learn, what with the recent events that have transpired, but I'm sure it won't be of any hindrance of things that will come up in the near future.

But that's not why I'm making this. I feel this may be a little more personal, but with the way things are, does that really matter at this point?

[He placed the rose down, his eyes shifting to the bracelet on his wrist.]

"Resolve". That word has been stuck in my mind for quite some time. What exactly does your "resolve" involve? Is it one to be admired, or is it one that is grotesque and horrifying? I've been told that mine has been rather admirable, yet to others, it might seem reckless and rather terrifying. However, I achieved my "resolve" a while back, making me rather...content.

...what is your resolve? [The rose finds it way back to his hand, as he plucks a petal from it.] I want to see if I can admire it.

[callmeimouto]

[...since their last conversation she's been a bit... awkward, due to the events that happened thanks to those candies.

So, she's just on audio today.]

...You achieved your resolve? What was it? [hey she's even trying to be nice.]

[ventoaureo]

[Hearing that voice made him freeze up a bit. Her...tch, if it was one thing that he wanted to forget, but couldn't, it was that candy incident.

After a bit of silence, he finally responded.]

...it was a dream of mine since I was young. I'm not sure if you would like to hear it or not, as it might change your opinion on me. [Not that her opinion on him was already screwed up, but...]

[holyfight]

My resolve is to fight alongside my friends and keep them from getting hurt.

What was yours?

video

[getinthechariot]

To conquer the world, of course!

video

[highstakesgame]

To devise the most wicked of torments for my loved one~

[Video]

[paintthetownred]

...To know the truth.

[ventoaureo]

Hm, I've heard that quite a few times before...you've been fighting people before, Orihime?

Mine? Become a "gangster star", and protect those who are weak and less fortunate. It took me a while, but...

[ventoaureo]

...And how in the world do you plan on going about that?

video

[ventoaureo]

[His face twists into one of disgust and confusion.] ...you're awfully cruel to have something like that as your resolve.

[Video]

[ventoaureo]

The truth? What sort of truth do you wish to know?

[holyfight]

We usually fight hollows back home, so it's not exactly the same as fighting someone in a gang. I'd probably just get beat up that way.

What's a "gangster star"? It sounds like you had a really good goal, too!

[getinthechariot]

Well, much the same way as I did the last time, I suppose!

Of course, the world was much smaller then!

[ventoaureo]

Hollows? [New vocabulary he's not used to.] Are those suppose to be some sort of enemies of yours? [...he coughs awkwardly at "fighting a gang" part.]

A "mafia boss", in a sense. I'm leader of Passione, so now I can go out and actually clean up the streets.

[highstakesgame]

Of course it's cruel - I am a witch, after all.

But that is how I show my love.

[ventoaureo]

[This guy conquered the world? ...hm. Somehow, that causes him to smirk a bit.] My, my, and how did that happen?

Do you come from the past, Signore...? Ah, what is your name?

[ventoaureo]

...a witch? Heh, I suppose that does add to your rather "crude" stereotype of witches. [There's some hints of doubt mixed in his speech there as she claims to be a witch.]

But still, that is rather cruel. You're certainly making me not admire your dream. I suppose your lover doesn't take kind to it, as well.

[paintthetownred]

The truth behind the place I was born. No matter how difficult it is to hear... I want to know what is really going on.

[Video]

[ventoaureo]

...you never did explain tell me where you were from. Do you know parts of the truth behind your birthplace?

[bloodypocket]

Say you have resolve. But what if you were to not only lose it, but have it stolen from you by none other than yourself?

[Video]

[paintthetownred]

Only some of it. [There was a rather... violent interruption before they could find out any more.]

[twinning]

[What an important word for Rin. His resolve may be somewhat personal as expressed by the man in the video, but he can't exactly ignore this message.]

Mine'd be to protect everyone with all my strength. I wouldn't say I'm lucky, but I ended up with these powers and... [There's no good way of doing this without being vague and sounding like a tool.]

That's it.

text;

[ventoaureo]

If that were the case, then I would think that I have failed myself. Losing your resolve is losing what is true to yourself, and if I lost what was true to myself due to my own stupidity, then what's the point of me going on?

[ventoaureo]

To protect everyone? [A smile appeared out of the corner of his mouth.] To do that, you must be really resilient in your resolve, won't you?

...along with being powerful, yourself. Tell me, back at home, how did you go about doing such? Are you still trying to accomplish this "resolve" of yours?

[Video]

[ventoaureo]

...would you care sharing with me what secrets were floating around back where you were born, Shun?

I wonder if you would believe me after the other day...
