[Vash can be found sitting on a bench in the plaza, his glasses on and a very grim look upon his face as he looks the place over. He’s thinking back to the incident with Kefka. A man died and he hadn’t been able to stop it. There must have been a way. What had he missed? He’ll be sitting there for a while, teeth clenching as he tries to figure out what he did wrong. Meryl is welcome to pick up/comment on the sober mood he’s probably been in the past day or so.]

[Jay takes a moment to reflect, but he doesn't appear to be either happy or sad about it. Instead, he just lets out a sigh.]

He'll be back.

[goldenglasses]

I know; but that doesn't change the fact that no one has the right to take another's life.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

The right to take another's life...

[Ponder...]

So you'd favor saving Kefka's life over all the innocent lives that would have been lost if Kefka had continued to live?

[goldenglasses]

[Probably the fastest response anyone will get today] No. He needed to be stopped - but there must have been another way.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I...doubt it. If death won't stop him, nothing will.

[goldenglasses]

No; there's always another way.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Really? Then how?

[goldenglasses]

I-I don't know. I didn't see it in time. But people can change. The ticket to the future is always open.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

So the ticket would be to contain him until he does "change?" How would one go about that? Kefka would've been able to teleport out of any cell.

[And thus he runs into the same wall he was hitting with the issue about his brother back home.] I don't know.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

Oh well. We'll just see how he changes when he comes back from the dead.

[goldenglasses]

Hmmm... [But have a slightly embarrassed fake!smile] Maybe I'll have thought of something by then.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

You had better.

[Seriously, if anyone can save him from cooperating with Kefka, he's more than up for it. He's really not thrilled with the idea of cooperating with him at all.]

[goldenglasses]

I'll try real hard.
