So... here's the rant of Shad's...
Well, real quick, explanation thingy concerning background
and whatnot
and ohmygosh the tv is so distracting...
Okay, so, for some odd reason, "during" (not
really during, but this is where it would take place if it were to honestly
take place) the exchange between Shad and magik's Namiku someone asks Shad how
his powers work and he starts ranting
I still have no clue why. It makes no sense, really, but the
rant is somewhat amusing, and it does explain crud.
Anyway, it starts something like this:
~
Well, it's like, say, I'm here (he gestures at some section
of the air with one hand) and Sora's here- (he gestures at a
different area with his other hand, then pauses) Me talking with my hands isn't
doing you any good, is it?
(of course it's not, because they can't really see you)
Right...
(he turns to Namine)
Can I borrow your sketchbook?
(She probably protests. Not that I wrote her protesting
down, but it's easy to assume that she does. I mean, why would she hand her
sketchbook to a psychopath who's done nothing but insult her?)
(impatiently, he replies:) This is really a visual lesson
here...
(she protests again)
No?
(cue annoyed sigh from Shad)
Fine...
You need to think of it as a web. Everyone's energy just
forms this great big web that is ever connected, intertwined, and I can
manipulate to my liking. I can chose who I feel like drawing energy from, how
much, all that.
I mean, everyone draws energy from other people, but it's a
subconscious thing. You two are drawing energy from each other right now. It's
not anything to a massive scale, but it's there. I could sever
it if I wanted to... *evil grin*
Anyway, I just have more control over the "web"
than most people do.
Not as much control as I'd like... If I had the control that
I'd like, I could block out- urg. This isn't working. Visual lesson. This is a
visual lesson!
Okay, it's like this:
~and then, I actually wrote this part like a scene!
He drew a
circle in the air with his finger, a strand of darkness following his gesture
and forming the picture for him.
“This is me…”
He drew another two circles.
“And I’m drawing power from Sora…”
He drew a line from one circle to his circle.
“And then, say, from Cloud.”
He drew a line from the other circle to his circle.
“And then Tifa shows up.”
He drew another circle.
“And Cloud starts drawing from Tifa…”
He drew a line from Tifa to Cloud, then emphasized the line between him and
Cloud again.
“See what happens? I start, indirectly, getting energy from Tifa, who happens
to be very bright. And, in turn, it hurts.”
He waved his hand, and the darkness in the air dissipated.
(continuing with just him ranting...)
If I had the control over the web that I would like, then I
wouldn't indirectly pull energy from people like Tifa! (I think he
spits her name loathingly)
Anyway, back to the web.
Every person is like a ball on this web. We're all just
balls of interwoven strands of energy and emotion that work together in perfect
harmony.
Unless you're Riku.
Riku's a ball of tangled mess.
I mean, yes, everyone gets tangled. You'd have to be
completely devoid of emotion to avoid it!
You see, each strand of that ball is an emotion, and the
tighter the strand is pulled, the more the emotion happens to be affecting the
person. The pulled strand would eventuall snap, and the emotion would flood out
from the person. And then, of course, the loose ends get tangled with other
emotions, get pulled tight again-
It's natural. Everyone works like that.
But Riku...
*shudders* I don't even want to go into that.
Back to the ball of emotion.
Because now, we're adding darkness to the equation.
See, you, or, well, I, can take the threads
of emotion, pull them 'til they snap, and then quickly send in some darkness to
grab ahold of the loose ends. Then I can manipulate the strand however I want,
granting me control over the person's actions.
Okay, really, only Sora's. I'm a bit too focused of a form
of darkness to pull that off on just anyone.
I can toy with the strands of pretty much anyone's heart,
though.
I just can't manipulate them.
Which is such a shame...
Though...
(Cue thoughtful glance in Real Thing's direction)
I might be able to manipulate your strands,
given just how dark you are.
It would just be one hell of a strain...
~
Hrm, I think that's pretty much it. Everything else is just
irrelavant or going into how messed up Riku is, which is something I think I
will leave alone for now. So... yeah...
BUT IT'S STILL ONLY 30 SECONDS!!
And
You really need to read this fic. You'll understand why as
soon as you start reading, trust me. It's REALLY REALLY good.
