Forty-Seventh Keychain-[Action]
[If a person were to look out toward the forest in the early evening, they might see a bunch of bright lights flashing and disappearing every now and again. If a person were to go investigate, they would find Roxas out there wielding Oathkeeper and Oblivion, jumping and twirling the Keyblades occasionally and using his light powers to full advantage fighting off this beast that towers over him and that ambushed him on his way home. Really, Roxas was doing fine on his own and he almost had the other Nobody beat when suddenly something flashes out of the corner of his eye and another strange monster bearing the same Nobody crest seemingly floats up to the Twilight Thorn, attacking with a flurry of blade movements and eliminating the creature all together. Roxas stares for a moment, half wondering where the other creature came from and half wondering why it attacked the Thorn. Samurais shouldn't be listening to him anymore, right?]
Um. Thanks?
[Sure. All well and good, all right. Roxas is going to nod in thanks, assume that the Nobody will go away on its own and begin walking away. The problem, however, is that this particular Samurai seems to think that Roxas still controls him. Even when he picks up speed, Roxas finds himself being tailed by the Nobody all the way back to the main part of the village.]
...no really, I mean it. Thanks, but you're done. [The Samurai doesn't want to leave though. He's happy hovering over Roxas.]
Go. Away.
[It's a stubborn thing. So? If a person were to be brave enough to venture into town, they would see a looming gray monster and a short blond boy having a staring contest. Make of that what you will.]
[ooc: characters can either encounter Roxas in the village with just the Samurai, or at the end of the fight with the Twilight Thorn. Up to you guys.]

I sort of think that's the point. But some dreams still carry over from one life to the next, I think.
no subject
...oh. So it is the same. Dreams are confusing though so they probably just brush them off.
no subject
[ mm... ]
Some people do. Some don't. I think the ones that brush them off can be corrupted easier.
no subject
What makes you say that?
no subject
[ thinks about the best way to explain it. ]
Well think about it. If you don't really know what you want in your life, then it's easier for the Kor to whisper suggestions or get into your head and make you believe you need a wish granted.
no subject
[Whoa now. Now we're getting a little too close to home.] Yeah, no, I get it. It's just that there has to be a way for people to make their own choices without the Kor influence, right? Even if they get manipulated, they can break away.
no subject
[ oh... well... ]
You're supposed to be able to do it on your own.
no subject
Supposed to being the key word. Sometimes it just doesn't work, does it?
no subject
No, it doesn't. But we can still try.
no subject
So which exactly are you? Our of the Kors and Ghosts and all that.
no subject
[ laughs. ]
I'm just an apprentice bishop. [ and Pandora's Box. ]
no subject
[This? This is a look of a Roxas who doesn't quite believe that. If only because nobody is ever "just" anything.] So you're being trained to get rid of the Kor and Wars and stuff.
no subject
[ a little sheepish. sees this look of yours, Roxas. ] Yeah. I mean... It's a little more complicated. Yes, I became a bishop's apprentice, but not to really deal with the Kor and Wars. I did it because I need to work out my memories and this the only way i can do that now.
no subject
[Okay, that sounds a little more likely.] ...where are your memories?
no subject
[ because... isn't that like holding onto someone else's essence? ]
Locked away. There was a war and the truth behind the war is something that's hidden there, so one of the bishops locked away my memories. They're programed to resurface after I visit the God Houses, people who are blood relatives of the Seven Ghosts.
no subject
...you can do that?
no subject
I guess he could, but I know I did some of it too.
no subject
Why would you erase your memories though?

[ and before Roxas could ask: ]
The Eye of Mikhail is a gem that contains the power of a god. It's used to seal Verloren's body within Pandora's Box. It's given to the King of Raggs to protect. Barsburg as the Eye of Raphael for similar reasons.
no subject
...yeah, cool, no pressure at all.
