Hey, everyone.

[There's a pause, like he's waiting to be sure enough people are listening before he continues. He wants to reach as much of the carnival as possible.] I spoke to Noa, and she explained a little bit more about the Void and the Harbingers to me.

She said she thinks the carnival members can still be saved. I think so, too. The Void makes them think there's nothing worth living for, but we know them and we know that's not true. If we can show them that whay they cared about before still matters, what was to their souls can be purified and the Void won't have them anymore. We think CY-Ren can be saved, too.

I... don't know exactly how to do that. But everyone taken, they have friends here, don't they? If we work together, we can find a way. Maybe we can share what made them happy, what might remind them of who they are or--or how to talk to them? [His voice wavers a little, but not out of lack of confidence in his plan.]

I know they can be reached. It won't be easy, but... I think we should try. I think it's better than just fighting them.

((TREAT THIS AS A MINGLE threadjack each other, this is an open forum of friendship.))

So you want us to try and solve this with... what? A few good pep talks?

[Rita sounds skeptical.]

>> PRIVATE TBH

[soft_focus]

.........This sounds like what we tried with people at home...

[Don't Ruin This, Reira]

[criticallyfucked]

That sounds like the perfect job for you.

[It's worded like encouragement but delivered in a disparaging tone.]

I'd already brought this to the others' attention, but perhaps they'll listen this time.

[You know, since it's not him saying it. He can't blame them, really.

But he was asked for his information and it was still ignored, which seems somewhat more personal. Which is also fine, of course! Just some undeserved resentment on his part, which is his problem and no big deal.]

[prazerbutterfly]

That's good to know.

[Said far too lazy to be anything comforting in the fact that he believes it. He doesn't have a lot of faith in Noa right now.] I'm surprised any of you are considering mercy or saving.

I wouldn't suggest anyone attempts these 'reminders' alone. [Not that he really cares about most of them.]

SURPRISE, IT'S AN ACTION THREAD

[hurtcomfort]

[ because Cole doesn't like the radio so he's just going to show RIGHT THE HELL UP to wherever Yuya is before saying, ]

I can do what I did before! I can show them.

[ because that worked so well against Childermass. ]

[kingsroads]

If you think this is a good idea, I'll help, [ said as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. ]

It'll have to be done before or at that concert, though. If CY-Ren is planning anything, I suspect she'll strike then.

[There's a high-pitched whine noise. Her life really is an anime]

I knew it! I knew it had to be real!

[exaomori]

[ wow this really does sound like some anime stuff ]

Yeah, but what if the things that make 'em happy are kinda sketchy?

[periphrasing]

There BETTER be a way to turn them back or there's basically no point to ANY of this!

[Said in the voice of someone who had never even considered the possibility that they might NOT be able to be fixed.]

This isn't like Steven at all...

[moonfang]

Pffft. Good luck with some of 'em. I don't think Childermass has any friends. Or anything that makes him happy.

[everybodypanic]

Gonna be honest here.

I'm way better at guns and blowing stuff up than this inspiration and 'power of friendship' stuff.

Sooo late to the party

[shearmadness]

I don't really know how to do the power of friendship thing either...but I guess I can sort of try? I can make them something pretty?

[Nui doesn't know how to do empathy. Not even as a Star Guardian.]
