Day 42 [video/sorta text]

[Today's video starts with a Pikachu.

The gear was left on the bed and so clearly, that meant it was time for the Sparky show! So, have Sparky the Pikachu waving at you. And making a few faces. Because that's clearly what the gear is for. However, Sparky soon grows bored of making faces and carries the gear over to the window.

Shakey camera will eventually reveal Roxas sitting at a desk, writing. It's hard to see what because with the way Sparky's dragging the gear, the image is all weird. Eventually, however, it evens out. Parts of the writing can be seen, but not a lot.]


{You.

I don't really know what to call you. I've really just known you as the guy in red, so we'll go with that.

I don't know why I'm writing to you, but I guess there's some things that need to be said, and since you're not here, I'll have to say them somewhere.

Two years ago, you trapped me in a digital world, made me think I had a life, friends, and that I was normal. You took me away from the life I had, gave me another one, and then tried to take both of them away. Because I wasn't supposed to exist. Because I wasn't light, I was darkness, and I belonged with Sora.

Well, your plan failed and I ended up in Johto. And what you said still stuck with me. That I wasn't supposed to be there, that I didn't matter.

But I've learned some things since then. I've learned that I do matter, that I do deserve to exist. I've made friends, I've got a goal, and that I'm just as much a person as anyone else, heart, or no heart. And one of those friends is Sora, and he agrees with me. I've got a life again, and this time, no one can take it away from me.

So I guess that's what I wanted to say. That I'm here, I'm existing, and I damn well deserve to. And if someday I do end up leaving Johto and going home, what happens then will be on my terms. Not yours. But I don't plan on coming back any time soon.}

[Roxas stops writing, and the gear shifts to show a shiny Rising Badge, a picture of a smiling Roxas and his team, and one more sentence]



{It's been 713 days. I'm still here.}

[ooc: Responses will probably come shortly after this, once Roxas realizes Sparky was recording. How much of the letter is seen can depend on your character. Thanks for 2 years everyone :D]
