I can't speak for the CDC's recruitment efforts... they've never seemed to make much sense to me.
FROM: kino@cdc.org
But if there's any rhyme or reason to them at all, they did come to you first.
And they only seemed to recruit this person after you were given your heart back.
FROM: kino@cdc.org
I... can't say I know what it means, but it seems like a fairly large coincidence.
[A pause, then:]
FROM: kino@cdc.org
You don't see yourself as much of a save-the-world type?
[Kino wouldn't judge him if he said no—Kino didn't feel that way about themself either. Too much responsibility. They were only a simple traveler, passing through.]
no subject
I don't want people to be hurt. But...
FROM: roxas@cdc.org
It isn't really the reason I joined.
FROM: roxas@cdc.org
I wanted to save my friends and get my heart.
no subject
I don't think that's a bad thing. I've found that most people tend to focus more on personal goals such as those.
It takes a very particular kind of person to set that aside and focus on something so abstract a goal as "saving a world."
FROM: kino@cdc.org
I don't think one or the other is better or worse. Many would call those who set off to save the world rather than help their friends foolish.
no subject
Sora can do both. It's kind of amazing.
no subject
It's certainly rare in a person.
FROM: kino@cdc.org
Do you envy that about him? Or do you see it as a further difference between the two of you?
[Speaking with Kino is dealing with these sorts of philosophical and existential debates all the time, whoops.]
no subject
FROM: roxas@cdc.org
He's... kind of dumb.
[ That was blunt... Though if the conversation were face to face Kino might see there is some fondness to the statement. ]
FROM: roxas@cdc.org
He makes friends everywhere he goes because he's really trusting. Even when he shouldn't be.
FROM: roxas@cdc.org
I don't know if... I can just open up to everyone like that. It's kind of... scary, I guess.
no subject
But yeah, friendship with Kino should come with a warning label: occasionally contains brief soul-searching and existentialism.]
FROM: kino@cdc.org
I wouldn't be able to do something like that either. Other travelers like me who have tried usually end up dead, or otherwise.
I think that there is something to respect in people who have trusting natures, though. They can see things in people warier people cannot.
FROM: kino@cdc.org
To me, it sounds like the two of you contrast one another very well.
no subject
We're not the same. We just kind of look alike...
no subject
From what you've told me, I can believe very well that you're two different people.
no subject
Nobody's ever really... said that to me.
no subject
From what you've told me, I feel as though it was always true, in a way.
However your world works, however—if you needed your "heart" to truly become a separate person, you have that now.
So I don't think there's anything setting you back anymore.
no subject
I think you're right.
FROM: roxas@cdc.org
Thanks, Kino.
no subject
If anything, I should be thanking you! This was a very interesting discussion.
I'm pleased I could've shared it with you.
no subject
I don't know about that... But tell Hermes hi for me.
no subject
I'll do that.
If you need me for anything else, just ask. Take care.
