Work in Progress Wednesday!

[tjs_whatnot]

Sorry I dropped the ball last week. :( But, lets just say, you guys all KILLED it! Thank you so much for being there for each other--especially at this time where I was pretty MIA. I'd say, I'll do better from now on, but here it is almost Thursday and I'm just now turning on my computer for the first time in days.

But, I will try. You guys keep being awesome to each other though, yeah?

♥♥

From the sequel work, something not an action sequence, but also not necessarily fluffy.

"What. Is. THIS?!" Ladybug demanded, pointing at the full-nearly-to-bursting space as Naminé and Xion arrived to investigate the scream.

"Looks like it's the 'Heroic/Romantic Sacrifice' Gallery," Plagg deadpanned.

"More like the 'Hall of Self-Sacrificing Bad Ideas'," Marinette snapped. "Has he always been like this?"

Plagg fixed Ladybug with as serious a face as he could muster.

"Yes," he said. "Chat's family life is shit and the only thing he really enjoys is being Chat Noir."

"Why this, then?" Ladybug gestured to the various Chat-fantasies.

Plagg sighed. "A long time ago, he decided that he didn't matter, and the best thing he could do for everyone, but especially for the Bug he loved, would be to protect you. Even if it meant he didn't make it out alive."

Ladybug's mouth snapped shut and she turned to face Naminé.

"Fix this," she ordered.

"No." Naminé said.

"This is your...thing, isn't it?" Ladybug pressed.

"No," Naminé shook her head. "I...when I first was born, people used me to take apart someone's memories. It took a year for me to undo the damage that I had done, and in the process, I nearly destroyed the only friends I had made. I won't do it again. Not for anyone."

"He's hurting! Why won't you help him?" Ladybug shouted, curling her fists.

"It's part of who he is," Naminé said. "Breaking those links could break him completely. I don't...I don't want to see that ever again. If you want a happy Chat Noir, you're going to have to forge those links yourself." Naminé fled can where she came from.

Ladybug stepped forward to pursue the argument, but Xion's raised Keyblade stopped her.

"Don't," Xion said, shaking her head.

Plagg floated up to sit on the end of Xion's Keyblade and crossed his arms, indicating where his opinion was on this particular debate.

"Fine," Ladybug sighed. "I can't fight all of you."

Ooo being about to take apart memories (which is sort of what my own post is about) could be such a two edged sword. How intriguing!

[silveradept]

Take them apart, put them together, make up new ones entirely that are indistinguishable from the originals. She's an extremely powerful character, and doesn't get used much by the narrative in her source material after the game where she's the focus.
