Fortieth Keychain-[Voice/Action]

[perplexme]

Yeah, yeah, we get it, new people. Can we stop talking about it already and figure out what we're supposed to do with all of them?

[Currently Roxas is sitting on the ledge of the roof of one of the community buildings. Don't mind him.]

My internet is crashing a lot, tags may take a lot of time. Sorry in advance!

[Suddenly, Roxas finds himself with company here up on the ledge. He just might look familiar.]

... Well, hopefully I won't be stayin' around for long, Roxas.

Nooo worries! /also Kairi's mun

[perplexme]

[...well that's weird, we don't remember anybody being next to us. Looking over...uh.]

...where'd you come from?

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

The ground. Not a big deal for a guy like me to jump up from there to here.

[perplexme]

No that's not...[Just...raising an eyebrow.] Have you been here this whole time?

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Huh? No, I just got here...

... I'm guessin' ya don't know who I am, huh?

[perplexme]

...you're the king that was traveling with Riku. [Thank you, Sora's memories.]

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

That's right. Mickey Mouse, and... we've already met, in a way.

[perplexme]

Through Sora?

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

No... to summarize it, there're other places like Luceti... places where alternates of us exist. That's how I know ya.

[perplexme]

Got it...weird to think there are other places out there like this where they just keep people from all different worlds. And after today, that's probably even weirder than thinking there's another me running around somewhere else.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Mmm... and other Soras and Kairis... probably other Mickeys too, out there.

No, make that definitely other Mickeys out there.

[perplexme]

Makes you wonder where they're all coming from.

HOLIDAYS CRUSHED MY SPIRIT and made this reply superlate, sorry.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Huh? Where they're comin' from? Whadda ya mean?

no worries~

[perplexme]

The multiples. Where are they coming from, why do they exist, that kind of thing. It's strange.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... I dunno about that. Way I figure it, they're just like us. They exist for the same reasons we do... because they were born.

[perplexme]

But they're still us, aren't they?

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

I dunno about that... people can make all kindsa decisions in life, that can lead them down all sortsa paths. And just by choosin' to walk one path instead of the other, people can change... become almost completely different than how they used to be. Or how they would've been, if they picked a different path.

[perplexme]

So more like being alternate versions of ourselves. Weird.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Oooh yeah. Especially when people ya haven't even met say they know ya from havin' watched cartoons about ya...

[perplexme]

And now that's just bordering on being really creepy.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Can't really disagree on that one... but that's how it is. There are alternates out there, and they have their lives and I have mine. I figure the best I can do here is to just let 'em be, and concentrate on my life.

[perplexme]

Probably for the best. Thinking on it too long is just going to make it worse.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Too much thinkin' just makes ya overheat up here, and what good's that ever done for anybody?

[perplexme]

Nothing, that's what. At least I know you won't overthink.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Try my best not to... that'd just make me no good for people who need me.

Couldn't do that to 'em.
