Twelth Keychain-[Action]

[perplexme]

[here have a Roxas tied to a tree in the middle of the forest and wrapped up in bright Christmas lights with 'Merry Christmas!' and snowmen painted on his face, definitely not looking happy. feel free to find him like this. Also, he's got a skateboard laying next to him as a present from the Mally-peoples, but that's not his main problem]

...YUFFIE!

[grumbles]If I don't get down, nobody's getting presents. [yes, he broke down and picked out presents for Aros, Sora, Yuffie, Bella, Fina, and even a little something for Cloud, Xigbar, and Salt]

[[ooc: based on this thread. Happy holidays everybody!]]

How is that even possible? A heart is needed to feel...to have emotions and be complete. [this pretty much just unravelled everything Roxas has ever known and he's confused now]

[cullen-blood.livejournal.com]

It's probably different in your world. It just... isn't that way for us...

[perplexme]

Is it like that for humans too, or just vampires? [well the truth's never bad, just going to take some time getting used to the idea]

[cullen-blood.livejournal.com]

It's like that for a large portion of the animals in our world that are complex enough to have a nervous system.

[perplexme]

I see...the brain effects everything.

[cullen-blood.livejournal.com]

[perplexme]

I don't really get it.

[cullen-blood.livejournal.com]

It's like...the brain controls everything. People can live with a broken heart. A heart can be fixed. In many cases, if something happens to the brain, you could be paralyzed physically or mentally...which would effect you emotionally, as well. And it usually can't be fixed. Everything that happens in the body runs through the brain. From there we can analyze the situations and choose actions that would make us more likely to live- actions that would make us happy. In theory, it's all really just survival guide...



But like I said, your anatomy could be completely different.

[perplexme]

...I see. Guess that makes enough sense, in theory.

[cullen-blood.livejournal.com]

It's just the way things are for us...

[perplexme]

[nods in understanding, not really sure what else he can say at the moment. It makes sense to him, yes, but now he can't decide if Xemnas was right or not]

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

That's just how it is in our world though. As Edward said, it might be different in yours.

[cullen-blood.livejournal.com]

[perplexme]

Maybe. But that's sort of the way things are here isn't it? People feel with their brains rather than their hearts.

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[perplexme]

...I see. Then guess that cancels out some things.

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Like?

[perplexme]

Aros and I not existing or feeling without hearts, which we kind of figured anyway.

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. You wouldn't react to things the way you do if you didn't have feelings and emotions.

[perplexme]

[shrug] Back where we're from, not having a heart equals not having feelings or emotions.

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a little weird. Who came up with that?

[perplexme]

Not too sure who first said it, it's just what we've always been told while working for the organization.

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

So, either someone actually thought that was true, or wanted you to believe that for some reason.

[perplexme]

Or both. In theory, I guess it made sense in our world. You love someone with all your heart. Something break your heart. So happy your heart might burst. Why wouldn't someone who didn't know better assume that the heart has to do with feelings and emotions?

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Well, those are terms we have even in our world, and people probably did used to believe that feelings came from the heart, but today, we know that our minds have something to do with it, and maybe even our souls.
