It's been more than a year now. More than a year without her. Just to see her, to hear her voice, to have her touch me one more time...

Do I mean that little to you? Don't you think about me, think about how your children are? Won't you come to me again? Tell me how much your youngest son means to you?

...Kaa-san. I want you. I need you. But I'm still alone.

Rufus! How come you invited a load of people to a formal dinner but nobody told me about it? I bet you've invited Kaa-san! And probably even Sephiroth! And Cloud-nii! I hate you!

I was wrong. I'm sorry. I was a complete idiot.

How could I possibly have wanted anyone else but you? I was stupid. I'm nothing but an immature, selfish little idiot throwing all my toys out of the pram while you're being the mature, sensible one. I don't deserve you; no, I don't even deserve to lick the dirt off your shoe (if you even wore shoes.) I don't even deserve to share the same air as you, let alone anything more. You were right and I was wrong and I'm just a silly little child.

Please. I'm sorry. I'm nothing. I'm nothing without you.

((OOC: Debasing himself to try and get her back. Dammit, why do women have to be so cruel. XD ))

Fine. I'm going to go fight some big robot on earth somewhere. Maybe you'll get lucky and it'll kill me. I hope you have fun telling the kids what happened when they start asking where their daddy is.

I hope you're happy now.

Yunalesca.

Forgive me.

Please.

I'm lonely. So damn lonely. Ever since Yazoo and Loz left, it just... this place... it's cold, and quiet, and there doesn't seem to be a point to anything any more. Yunalesca...

...

...Yunalesca... Kaa-san... Nee-san... Nii-san... they've all left me. Everyone leaves me. And the children; Ixion, Shiva... will I ever see them again? Maybe I'll go find another WEAPON. Maybe that'd be doing everyone a favour.

((OOC: It's angsting taim! :D Feel free to ignore/shout at/mock as applicable.))

Sha-chou.

Yunalesca's jealous.

[RL - Gaia - Rufus ShinRa's Penthouse]

Kadaj, having ridden hell-for-leather on his bike for the past half-hour or so, pulls up outside and practically leaps from the seat; he pelts inside, and makes his way straight up to Rufus' apartment; he bangs insistently on the door, his loins already aching with desire; this had better not be another joke...

Hey, B! I found a present for you, look!

( ((Not Cut IC, Tastefully Naked L!, possibly NSFW...)) )

Character discussion time! here are some in-depth analyses of the characters I play; feel free to comment with how your characters feel about mine, if you wish, and expect in-depth replies if you do...

( ((OOC: Character Lecture Taim! :D )) )

Kaa-san! Tifa's been telling lies about you! She says you don't care for me, that you're not there for me when I need you! Tell her she's wrong, Kaa-san! Tell her!

Why can I hear these... these voices, in my head? Why do I wake up screaming? Every second of every hour, now, this crying, this wailing, this endless chorus of pain inside my head that won't go away! What's happening? Why won't it go? Make it stop! Make it stop!

[RL - Forgotten Capital - Gaia]

Kadaj busies himself in the kitchen, preparing a drink for Yunalesca; she hasn't been the same since the encounter with Lady, and is still recovering, even after repeated applications of healing Materia.

I... I don't want to let Demyx down.

This year, I'm going to try and keep the promise I made to him. And Beloved? I'm going to get our children back.

It's the twins' first Christmas.

It wasn't meant to be like this.

I was supposed to spend it at home, with Yunalesca, and Yazoo-nii, and maybe Kaa-san... we were going to spend some time together, and I was going to give them all presents, and eat some great food, and then...

...I just want them to come home.

Q.

You've got my children.

Let me know they're safe. Make sure you treat them well until I get them back, because believe me, I will make sure they come home. Home to me and Yunalesca. But until then... please. Let me talk to them. Prove to me that they're safe, that they're alive. It's been two whole days since I last heard from them, Q, and... you can't even begin to imagine what that feels like.

Please, Q. Please. Let me know they're safe.

[RL - Forgotten Capital - Gaia]

Kadaj tears up to the strange-looking house on his bike, sending dirt flying as he leaps off and sprints to the door, flinging it open and practically shrieking as he runs from room to room, looking for her.

"Yunalesca! Beloved! Beloved! I'm home! I'm home, beloved!"

They're dead in Wutai now, ShinRa! I left their blood all over the floor of the bar! And the best part is, they blame you, because I told them I was doing it to get back at ShinRa! Isn't that wonderful? They blame you and think it's your fault, they tried to stop me but nobody could get close enough because I cut everyone open who got within ten feet of me! The calm, serene pools run red with their blood, Rufus; the fish will be feeding on human offal for the next week!

Oh, and their Materia... how kind of them to give me a gift! Not that they had much choice after I removed their tongues, they couldn't say no, could they? They couldn't say anything!

...I would have burned the place to the ground, but... the kittens were cute.

((OOC: To say Kadaj has become a little... unhinged by having Shiva and Ixion taken away from him would be an understatement. o_O ))

The Healin Lodge is already burning, ShinRa. I think the sick and wounded died in the flames; I didn't bother hanging around to check. There are fires in Costa Del Sol, too, flickering gold in the sunlight; so pretty. The screams of the dying made me smile, ShinRa - every single one of them gone now, like everything else I'll take from you. Junon; yes, I went there too, I think. It was hard for me to concentrate on where I was driving when all I could see were the faces of my children, Rufus, my only children, my innocent, beloved children, the ones you stole from me. They died in Junon, your precious employees, gutted like the fish they trawl from the harbour there. Gutted! They'll be cleaning the blood for weeks, ShinRa, cleaning it from that disgusting company carpet that's laid out in the lobby. I haven't finished yet, I don't think; I have a couple more stops to make on the way home, a couple of places to visit, some employees to deal with, something to occupy my time until I can meet with you again, ShinRa. Oh yes, because I will see you again, dear Rufus. I will.

I'm coming home to you, Yunalesca, beloved, my love. Hold on for me. I'm coming home.
