Oh, man, it seems like everyone is so down lately! It's like you've all given up hope!

Now's not the time to give up, guys! We've gotta remain strong and continue living for a brighter future, for every day will definitely be better than the last! So cheer up! Everything's gonna be okay!

((ooc: In contrast with all the characters who have lost their optimism, Stahn's optimism has been amplified. Enjoy.))

But where's the sense in that? After all we've done, we've still got nothing to show for it.

It's all so hopeless.

Dammit you're fast.

[hotheadedidiot]

But what's the point of suddenly feeling so hopeless? If you give up now, you never will have anything to show for it!

Pinged by the hope :D

[ismakingwaves.livejournal.com]

But that's just it, isn't it. We're never going to have anything to show for it no matter what we do. So we should just save ourselves the effort.

[Sigh.]

Let the hope sink into your SOUL!

[hotheadedidiot]

We do have things to show for it, though! We're nowhere near the same point we were at the beginning!

[ismakingwaves.livejournal.com]

But is it helping us out of what's been happening? It's kidnap-return-heal-experiment-kidnap here with the Malnosso. We're never going to escape this vicious cycle! [Oh dramatize! Katara's sniffling a little now.]

[hotheadedidiot]

H-hey! No need to get upset over it! There are plenty of people who've escaped the cycle! And it's through what we're learning as time goes on that'll get out of here one day!

[ismakingwaves.livejournal.com]

People have escaped the cycle? Really? You can't be talking about those who have returned home, have you? Because they've probably just been taken by the Malnosso to do further experiments on. At least, that's what's more likely to be happening.

A-are you sure? Some people have been here for years! [She's exaggerating. Really. She doesn't know anyone who's been here for that long.]

[hotheadedidiot]

There are people who haven't even been kidnapped once since they came here.

No way! I don't know anyone here who's been here much longer than a year!

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

You seem very spirited today, Stahn.

[voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

I can't help but feel this way! It's such an amazing day outside, but everyone seems so gloomy!

[voice]

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

Do you think it's another experiment that is making people act this way?

[voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

Huh... Maybe! Lloyd was telling me yesterday that we were about due to one! But I just know everything will be okay!

[voice]

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

I hope it will be...

[voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

Are you still recovering, Fina?

[voice]

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

Um.. yes, that's right...

[voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

Well, if you need anything, just let me know, alright?

[voice]

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

I will... thank you, Stahn.

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

Nyeaaa! You shouldn't give up nyaa~

[depthundersands.livejournal.com]

That's the spirit I like to see! What a courageous and optimistic young man you are! People here need to be more like you!

[hotheadedidiot]

Heheh... Really? Well, there's no use in being all depressed over things, because that'll only make things worse!

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

You seem really happy today, Stahn. Did something good happen?

[voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

I dunno! I just feel really good today, like I have no worries at all!

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm glad to hear that. Some other people have been acting really strange because of this experiment.

[voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

Yeah, some people have been acting pretty weird, huh?

Oh, well! It'll pass!

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Right. At least nothing has happened to me or Richter yet.

[voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

Well, let's hope it stays that way!

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah... the last experiment was bad enough.

[voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

It wasn't that bad.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe not for you.

[voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

Well, hey, cheer up! Everything'll be all right here!

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah... thanks.

[justiceatjunes.livejournal.com]

Everyone's sad?

[hotheadedidiot]

Sure seems like it.

[justiceatjunes.livejournal.com]

What could we do to cheer them up?

[hotheadedidiot]

Uhh... Well, we could go around and tell everyone that it'll be all okay! You know, spread the happiness!

[justiceatjunes.livejournal.com]

I can do that! That sounds like fun!

[hotheadedidiot]

Awesome!
