13th Confession [Action/voice]

[Of course, Vash wasn't the only kid Legato ran into. The ass confused the hell out of him, but moreover, he wondered if he really was going to be 'trained' by someone. Trained to fight, right? And he said he'd be skillful, too... But right now? He called him useless. Incapable. Just some stray dog.

"If you think yourself capable, that is something you must prove."

Nicholas wanders into town and takes a seat at a bench, with journal in hand. Considers using it—even if it is confusing, and even if he's not the kind to spark up conversation. Instead he simmers a little, brow furrowed, reaching down and shaping snowballs before throwing them at the nearest building totally sorry if he doesn't see you coming around the corner or something. For some reason, he feels like he's done this before. Something about the whiteness of all this is familiar, but... ah, well. He's too busy trying to decipher what that blue haired guy told him.

He was worth something. Wasn't he? Or was what every said true...]


[Voice]

How do y'prove you're worth something...?

[After that, he decides to go back into the forest and try to talk with that Eferin guy. Things weren't as bad as last time; he even got to actually speak to him, without any running or cursing. Even if it meant sucking up to the bastard, just a little. He's in the forest, sitting on the gnarled roots of a tree, lighting and putting out the end of a thin twig. It takes all of his concentration, but it's worth it. His pants leg has a hole burned into it, but whatever burn mark was under it has been wrapped up by a ripped shirt.]

Che. I wouldn't bother. Some people are born stupid. That or I'd defeat them, take whatever they held precious and hold it just out of reach until they understood.

But it really quite depends. Some people never learn. If you know you're worth something, what makes their wrong opinion so important?

Well, I guess... I dunno.

Maybe I don't know if I'm worth somethin' or not.

Well, yeah... like people who got parents, who got money or a house, or a job...

Oh please. Like that's even their doing. That's just dumb luck, nothing special.

No way kid. Being a long line of a famous family doesn't make you anymore likely to change the shape of the world or universe than anyone else. Pick your favorite person in history or someone you idolize.

Oh...

[Sorry, he's real quiet. Does he even know people in history? Hurrrm. Never went to school or none of that, and his world's only got 130 years under its belt.]

Really? No one?

Then that strikes me as an open opportunity to make a name for yourself. Do whatever you want to try to prove to yourself or whoever you're worth something. Even if you can't convince that one certain person, you'll definitely convince someone.

Up to you kid. Whatever you think is worthwhile. If you do something you know is worth something, then let the rest of the pigs of the world wallow in their stys. Their loss.

Re: [Voice]

[identity profile] not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so. I guess that makes sense.

What about you? How d'you prove your worth to yourself?

What a funny question.

I think just surviving is enough. There's so many things I want to do that I can't if I die. I want so see as much as I can because it's there, and take in all the beauties. To really live. Just knowing I'm still alive makes me feel worthwhile to me. It hasn't been easy, but still, here I am.

[A soft snort, though it's not aimed at her.]

Not many beauties on my planet.

... But I can understand that. Knowing you're alive and feelin' worthwhile like that.
doubleppk: (Mm)

Rarities then.

Or you could just do it here.

Re: [Voice]

[identity profile] notablueskid.livejournal.com 2011-01-09 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

Yeah, I guess I could do that here.

[A tiny smile, but it's quick and uncaught by the small screen, in voice mode.]

I'd like that.

No reason not, right?

If being worthwhile is about exisiting, then do something with it.

All right. I'll think about that.

Anytime sweetheart.

And good luck finding something you can be proud of, mm? I'm sure you will!
