Forty-First Keychain-[Written]

[perplexme]

Another year later and I'm still not sure about Christmas here. Christmas in Christmas Town's one thing, but otherwise...what's there to do here for Christmas anyway? Maybe I just don't get it...other than watching Sora and company pass out presents. That's different.

I guess I could say Merry Christmas, but I'm not sure it means anything if I still don't get it.

At least they left us alone this year, right? Yeah.

[perplexme]

I guess that's true enough, in a weird kind of way.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

This place is already strange, so I suppose weird is rather normal already, don't you think?

[perplexme]

...yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

Though, I can't say it's a bad thing, whether or not people celebrate the holiday. It seems like people are enjoying themselves.

[perplexme]

Yeah, it was like this last year at this time, too. But there's way more people now than last year.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

Really? Well, I suppose population increase isn't exactly unexpected given the number of New Feathers per cycle.

[perplexme]

Even with all of the people that have left before, we still get lots of new ones.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

More than I'd like to admit. I'm surprised that the Malnosso even have enough resources to fuel this big an experiment.

[perplexme]

They probably keep restocking their resources when we're not even looking.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

Probably. That's not a very reassuring thought.

[perplexme]

Since when is anything here really reassuring though, you know?

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

Depends on your perspective of things. I think sometimes Luceti can be a blessing to some people.

[perplexme]

Like the people that were dead in their own worlds?

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

[... Bingo.]

I guess they'd be an example.

[perplexme]

[...yeah, guess Luceti is nice for people like two of his best friends.]

Keep forgetting about that, really. I don't know how, but I do.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

It's easy to forget things here, really.

[perplexme]

Especially after being here for a while.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

I take it you've been here longer than I have.

[perplexme]

About fifteen months now, almost sixteen.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

Far longer than I thought then.

[perplexme]

How long did you think? Just curious.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

Less than ten months, though it's mostly because I can't imagine anyone going over a year here with how fickle the Malnosso can be.

[perplexme]

Weird, isn't it? But I've met some people that have been here for two years, even. It's kind of crazy how attached the Malnosso can actually get.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

It makes me wonder what kind of attributes do these people possess for the Malnosso to choose them over others.

[perplexme]

What attributes do any of us possess to get stuck here in the first place?
