Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse Redux [No Longer Full]

Okay so I'm officially imagining Tocsax singing this song:


Meanwhile, the rest of us are singing this one:


Except for Seth. There's only one song he could possibly be singing:

In fact... screw it, this is probably the exact song he's singing right now while scrubbing toilets and boycotting the quest to troll Toxy.

@Letter Bee Annnnnnnnd Toxy just got called out on his blatant favoring of Mai and accused of coddling her. Have fun with that!

Ruler of the Sea - A Bathroom

A hooded Seth whistled to himself as he scrubbed the toilet, albeit at a slow and leisurely pace. Only someone like Seth could find a way to leisurely do chores, especially when said chores were supposed to be a punishment. While he worked, Seth was interrupted when a Corridor opened up right over the toilet seat. Impeccable aim, either that or an insane coincidence. Either way, he heard Tocsax's voice trying to scold him further. At this, Seth shrugged despite nobody being there to see him do it.

On the other side of the Corridor, while it was closing, the others could hear Seth's trademark chuckle, "If you wanna coddle her, do it yourself and not through me..." was that remark referring to Mai? Most certainly. Honestly, Tocsax was doing a pretty poor job of hiding the fact that he was almost blatantly playing favorites. In fact Seth was almost certain that if they had switched places, Mai would have gotten little more than a slap on the wrist, if that.

Seth sighed, quickly letting that brief frustration wash away and he was once again grinning and whistling cheerfully. That was one interesting advantage to having no Heart: thicker skin.

An image would then come to Taka, an image of a young woman wielding a Keyblade...

If this turns out to be a Princess of Heart I'm calling copyright infringement.

@ShadowVentus I dunno. I won't ask you to change the whole character since that's not really fair. Beyond that... I'm stumped.

He dreamed of rain. Lots of it. In fact in his dream it was practically storming. The field seemed only lit by flashes of lightning. A combination of thunder and gunfire roared all around. Then there was Seth - or at least, a young boy that looked like him - standing in an ankle-deep puddle of water wearing a blue hoodie and black shorts, armed with nothing but a shoddily-made 10mm Submachine gun that was too soaked to fire anymore. Not that that would have mattered, the gun hadn't spent a single bullet of a single magazine yet. The boy shivered, cold in the rain. Or was he perhaps scared? There were several corpses on the ground around his feet, all shot dead by superior firearms. There was a loud click, followed by a dozen more of them. The boy looked around himself, soldiers in special-forces armor bearing some kind of crucifix insignia all trained their weapons on him. Suddenly it got dark, well, darker than it already was. Even lightning wasn't enough to light the sky. The boy opened his mouth to scream. The soldiers opened fire.

Seth awoke with a jerk. How long had he been asleep? No idea, his face and forehead were drenched in a cold sweat. Seth wiped it all away with his hands. He looked up toward the non-existent sky... and he chuckled.

@Double

Yep, still strongly similar. Pretty much what I was afraid of.

@ShadowVentus Doing that kind of takes away from the inevitable plot twist, though. Or maybe my backstory for Seth is the only example of such a backstory? *shrug*

Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse Redux [No Longer Full]

@ShadowVentus The issue I have is that his backstory, which you obviously want to keep close to the chest for understandable reasons, might also - by pure chance - be strongly similar to Seth's. My toes wouldn't just be stepped on, but stomped clear into the ground at that point.

Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse Redux [No Longer Full]

I mean I apologize for snapping like that, but... well, my toes were kinda sorta stepped on.

Wow, and here I had gone so long without making snappy/angry responses like that one. *sigh* Oh well, back to having "0 days without an incident" I guess.

Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse Redux [No Longer Full]

Oh come on! A Nobody with no memories and seeks to regain them? He's literally the exact same character as Seth, beat-for-beat!
