[Filtered From Hayner]

So let's say that someone recently showed up in this place, but they're from a time where they remember you differently. How can you tell them about how things are in the future without ruining everything? And this isn't just a "oh I moved away" sort of difference, this is something a lot bigger...like memories.

727 days. Nearly two years, and I still don't see any signs of me going home anytime soon. Should I consider that a good thing or a bad thing? For those of you who have been here that long, what do you think?

Oh, hey. Hayner! I'm thinking since you're new here and your sense of direction stinks still, we should probably explore Luceti some more so you get familiar with it. What do you think? Later today?

[Filter to Xion]

Hey. I think we need to talk.

[perplexme]

Hey. At least you missed the time that the feathers all started to fall off. Or that time they grew.

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

....Okay, now you're turning into Bad News Guy.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

It still confuses me too, and I'm supposed to be him. All I know is what other people have told me about Ratatosk and a few dreams that are some of his memories.

[perplexme]

...but at least you have some time to practice trying to fly with them? Is that better?

[Voice]

[perplexme]

I mean I guess it's not much different than how me and Sora are connected, but we're also two different people. Can Ratatosk split into his own body away from you?

[Voice]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

So how long do you think that's gonna be? I don't know him that great, but it doesn't seem like he's as clueless as some other people around.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

He might be clueless enough if I try. Besides, he might just write it off as something impossible.

[Voice]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's all pretty weird.

Guess we're just gonna have to wait and see, then.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

Guess so. Don't worry about it too much, Sora. It's still my problem.

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

............Fly with them? I thought these things were useless.

[Voice]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

Hey, your problems are my problems, too. Okay, this one less than some others, but you know I've got your back.

[It's just automatic these days.]

[perplexme]

Usually they are, yeah. But a friend of mine? He says he's been able to fly really short distances while being here, but that might just be because he could fly at home a bit, too. It's worth a try though if you're looking for something to do.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

Yeah, I know. Kind of hard to get rid of you at this point. [Don't worry, the tone's still in a joking manner.] Thanks, Sora.

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

Know what? I think I'm good with the just walking. But thanks, though.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

No, he can't. I think it's different with you and Sora... can you talk to each other in your minds? Ratatosk and I can't do that.

[Voice]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

[He hears that, twin, and he expects it by now.] No problem, man. Just let me know if you need me.

[perplexme]

Yeah, that's probably not a bad idea. Good luck with that.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

Not exactly talk, but I can see a lot of his memories still...kind of like a portal to his mind or something. So really Ratatosk doesn't do anything for you?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

He takes over for me when I fight, but... that's really it. The only memories of his I can see are the ones that show up in my dreams, and there aren't very many of them. I think you and Sora are a lot more connected than we are, at least when it comes to sharing stuff like that.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

Pretty sure that comes from the part where I was born from Sora's heart. I'm literally his other half. Ratatosk sounds way too different.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I wish I could ask Richter or Tenebrae more about how all of this works. Maybe then I'd be able to understand things better.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

[He pauses to try and remember who those people are.] Would they actually have answers though?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Tenebrae would; he just didn't want to tell me anything.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

...Tenebrae was that weird cat-looking thing, right? Why not?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Because he said it might mess up the timeline or something like that if I found out too soon.
