Forty-Ninth Keychain -[Voice]

[perplexme]

I really wish they'd stop taking her already. What's the point? They better give her back soon, or...[He just trails off, making a less-than-pleased noise.]

Man...I need to get out more. The rain's never stopped me before, but it's almost getting too cold. It's going to turn into snow soon, and then I'm really stuck. Makes me wonder...

Anybody up for a sparring match? Pick a place, pick a time, I'll be there.

Meet me outside. I'll knock you around for a little while.

[voice]

[perplexme]

Don't you think it's going to be the other way around?

[voice]

[flaring]

Pfft, hardly! I usually let you win.

[voice]

[perplexme]

Right, okay. I'll remember that when I watch you fall flat on your face trying to keep up. I'll be out in a few seconds.

[voice]

[flaring]

Yeah, yeah. Hurry it up.

[While Bon Clay IS interested in seeing what the other fighters could do, this one DOES sound rather young... perhaps an experiment should be undertaken~.]

... Did you hear about that new 'battle dome' building they put up? I was thinking of seeing what all the fuzz is about- we could always meet up there~.

[voice]

[perplexme]

[There's a pause suddenly. New voice is new to him.]

Battle dome? Maybe I've heard about it in passing, but not a lot of detail. Tell me about it?

[voice]

[thestrongestway.livejournal.com]

[Oho, someone who hadn't heard of it? How peculiar that he- practically still a New Feather, would be the one to introduce the boy to something in Luceti. So the voice continues, in a rather... flamboyant tone. Think Marluxia... only more pink.]

Well, I suppose I could~. The gist of things is that it's some kind of simulator- it's apparently supposed to be some kind of arena that can change into whatever you want it to be... and have you face whomever you want, as well.

[voice]

[perplexme]

[Oh man. That's just awesome. Well, it could be worse. At least the dome sounds interesting.]

A simulator. [Somehow he's not sure if he wants to be put into another make-believe scenario.] That doesn't sound too bad...bet it's great for training. So let's pretend I wanted to fight something from home in an area from home. The dome could do that?

[voice]

[thestrongestway.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm getting... there's something about their simulations being a bit wonky when it comes to people already here, but apparently you can pick and pluck people and monsters from your own world and train against them there~. Thought I should go and see if I've gotten rusty during my stay here... feel like tagging along?

I think I was supposed to be the one that didn't like the cold.

[Yeah, he hears that bit about Xion... He's about ready to go Keyblader on some Malnosso over that, but that requires finding them.]

[Voice]

[perplexme]

Yeah, well, I'm sort of you remember? Pretty sure that's a Sora-trait I inherited whether I wanted it or not. Man, can you believe this will be the third winter here?

[Voice]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

For you - second one for me, that I remember at least. But at least we don't have to cut firewood now! And we've got a lot of blankets and stuff so we're not gonna freeze.

But yea - we've been here awhile, huh?

[Voice]

[perplexme]

Second for Axel too, kinda. He was here right before winter, then he left, and then he came back in the middle of winter. I don't know about everybody else though. Electricity's really going to help us out this year. Besides, there's seven of us. We'll be able to make sure the house stays warm.

Yeah...almost too long. I don't remember you being anywhere this long besides the islands.

[Voice]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

[And Sora just shrugs at that.] I couldn't be, right? I had to go out and seal the Keyholes, then fight all those Xehanort pieces that kept popping up. But we can turn the heat up real high and not worry about it. Not like we've gotta pay a bill for it or anything!

[Voice]

[generalflirt]

A friend of your's got taken...?

[Voice]

[perplexme]

Yeah, that's what a few of my other friends have said. She just got picked up and carted off like it wasn't a big deal at all. It sucks not being able to stop them.

[Voice]

[generalflirt]

So people really are powerless to stop them? [Tone... flattening]

[Voice]

[perplexme]

...supposedly, the mission from recently? That was supposed to stop it, and it didn't. You tell me.

[Voice]

[generalflirt]

I wouldn't know, I haven't been here as long. [...Mmph. That reminds him far too much of a certain guy he doesn't want to recall] But it sounds like everyone got used.

[Normally, Vexen wouldn't bother answering. But comment on the weather's caught his attention.]

Problems with the weather, XIII?

[voice]

[perplexme]

[Oh. Well hello to you too, Vexen.]

I thought Luceti wasn't supposed to have as much rain, that's all.

[voice]

[cryology.livejournal.com]

You can hardly expect the weather patterns to remain the same in a place like this. Or any place, for that matter. You will merely see trends.

[voice]

[perplexme]

Thanks for the lesson, Vexen. So what's the next trend going to be?

[voice]

[cryology.livejournal.com]

I'm hardly a meteorologist.
