#xemnas also tries to learn macrame

[beastenraged]

Nice job on "victims of ourselves"! Since it ends on a cliffhanger of Xemnas wondering what to do and where to go, how do you see his path playing out hypothetically if that canon were to continue? What would he go on to do or become, and how would Terra help?

Why, thank you! As for where Xemnas would go next...

Well, I’ve always been fond of the idea of Terra as a baker. Imagine Terra patiently teaching this Nobody how to bake. He doesn’t actually think anything will really come out of it, it’s just a good starting point, really. 

Except. 

Xemnas starts baking bread. Baking lots of bread, all the bread. None of it’s very good at first, quite the opposite, blocks of charred lumps everywhere on the counters. Even Chirithy refuses to eat them and the Dream Eater eats almost anything. 

But he gets better. The bread is actually good though there is still more produced than the inhabitants of the Land of Departure could eat in months. 

So. They start sending it off to their friends as gifts. Xemnas doesn’t mind and has started making bread puns now instead of talking about Nothingness all the time. Terra isn’t sure if that’s an improvement. Ven thinks it is. Aqua’s on the fence. Chirithy isn’t good with wordplay so the jokes go over their head. 

Everyone finds out eventually. Axel is the first (and only) person to make jokes about possible poisoning. Everyone else politely ignores him. 

Xemnas keeps baking bread. It’s...satisfying to create, instead of destroy. It may be destroyed eventually, as is the purpose of a food substance, to be broken down and devoured. But. It’s not a bad purpose to serve. 

(At least until Ansem SOD shows up and starts making fun of him for it. But that’s another story.)
