Hey.

How much do we all hate being kidnapped? On a scale from 1-10?

Or wanna talk about it? Become kidnapped friends? Friends that are kidnapped?

[terribletwos]

what do you mean we all/ is this that much of a common thing here/

[ Yes, Roxas is a victim of kidnapping. No, he's not going to discuss it on the network. ]

[onehole]

Yes. We've all been kidnapped.

[terribletwos]

does this really count as kidnapping when there's no person in charge/

[onehole]

Yup, it does!

[terribletwos]

i thought it was more like a summoning. since this place needs us.

[onehole]

The place may need us but we didn't ask to be brought here, right?

[terribletwos]

i guess not.

but it doesn't seem as bad as being kidnapped.

[onehole]

Why do you say that?

[terribletwos]

we're helping people.

[onehole]

So?

[terribletwos]

doesn't that make it different than being held captive/

[onehole]

I don't think so!
Just because something good is happening due to our captivity doesn't mean that we aren't captives.

[ He's just being difficult for shits and giggles. ]

[terribletwos]

[ Well, that does check out. His own captivity had given him the illusion of friends. But the people here aren't illusions, right? So it can't be the same. ]

people do manage to leave though.

[onehole]

They manage to be released, you mean.

[terribletwos]

manage to be released/ most people don't even know what's going on before it happens.

[onehole]

That's generally how being kidnapped works.

[ Fukuda likes being difficult sometimes. ]

[terribletwos]

it's really not. you usually don't get released.

[onehole]

Sure you do!

"Pay so much money and you'll be released back to your loved ones!" Only, we're the ones paying our own ransom.

[terribletwos]

munny/ what's that have to do with anything/

[ Money sure wasn't involved in his kidnapping. Other than the munny Riku stole from him. But that hadn't resulted in his freedom either. And there's no way that Ansem would have given the Organization any chance to get him back. Munny or no. ]

[onehole]

Usually when a person is kidnapped, it's for monetary gain of the person who kidnapped them.

[terribletwos]

not always.
