12th Light - [Audio/Common]

[lightwithin]

When I was little, my grandmother used to tell me a story.

It was about the world disappearing, and being rebuilt in the hearts of children.

It said that no matter how deep the darkness, there would always be light to guide us. And as long as we believed in that, we could never be beaten.

[There is a long silence.]

Do you think it's true here?

That's different, sugar. That means get over it. That don't mean you don't ever get beaten.

[Voice]

[lightwithin]

But if you can get over it, then you're okay. You weren't beaten.

[Voice]

[does-everything.livejournal.com]

Ya think so?

[Voice]

[lightwithin]

Well... Sure. If you're alive, and feeling okay about what's happened, then you haven't lost. You can keep going.

It's feeling okay with everything that's so hard.

[Voice]

[does-everything.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I dunno 'bout that, sister. I'm pretty sure you can be alive and still say life sucks, even if you're over crap that's happened to you. Sayin' that everything's okay ain't the same as dealin' with shit that comes your way.

[lightwithin]

What are you saying?

You're saying that you don't need to believe in anything, and can still keep on going?

[Voice]

[does-everything.livejournal.com]

...yeah, I guess that's it.

[Voice]

[lightwithin]

That sounds... Really hard.

Are there a lot of people like that, on your world?

[Voice]

[does-everything.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, lotsa people. And I dunno 'bout how hard it is; just how stuff works. Not like anybody really thinks about it.

[And back to amusement; Daxter's said something funny again.]

Heh, no. You just drink a lot and talk to 'hot' girls.

[Daxter's world sounds really depressing.]

What do they call your world?

[So, if she ever gets to go world-hopping, she can make sure not to go there.]
