Fiftieth Keychain - [Written]

[Filtered from Vanitas and Ven to the rest of the KH cast]

Okay. How many of you guys think this wasn't just some weird kind of coincidence?

[Filtered to Xion]

I think I need to talk to you soon...it's important.

[/Filter]

[Filtered to Axel]

I learned something really interesting about you.

[/Filter]

So Luceti...what exactly makes a person real or not? What qualities and characteristics mean that a person exists instead of just being a weird figment? Trust me, it's important.

~~Yeah~~ I... think so.

[Luke isn't really sure how the whole thing works, but the thought of existing without Asch kind of... makes him nervous.]

~~I don't really~~ Why are you asking?

... Unfortunately, nothing. I never really did ask.

Ever heard of Descartes?

If you find out... could you tell me too?

The only people who knew him well enough to notice were the ones responsible for my creation. He wasn't close with a lot of people and... well, for the first year or so of my life, neither was I.

What makes a person real? That's a good question. I've never really thought about that before. Why is it important?

Not that it's not important... I'm just wondering.

[Sonny is deeply intrigued by such a question.]

That's what I was afraid of.

Okay, have you ever heard about the Heartless? ...or have you ever talked to Xion?

That probably made it a lot easier. What happened after the first year of your life though?

...because I can't exist without the person I was created from. [Well, he owes Luke that much in return for all of his help.]

Or do you mean why am I asking about the difference between reals and fakes?

[~~Yeah sorry, we can just handwave that if he does learn.~~]

...more like Sora? You sure? [It's cool, that's more than he had before.]

No. What are they?

...already ahead of you, Emil. I'll see what I can find out.

It's a person. He was an old philosopher, thinking about what was real was pretty much his thing.

It's just...it's a long story? I'm kind of curious. Being real seems to be something some people just take for granted, so I thought I'd ask what makes the difference.

Really. [Well, he's currently in the library so he might have to look around.] What'd he have to say on the subject?

Thanks. I wonder if... I wonder if there's anyone else here like us besides Luke.

"Thought exists. Thought cannot be separated from me, therefore, I exist."

That's what I'm going to find out.

You knew about him? [Him being Luke, of course.]

...huh. Sounds pretty wise to me. Do you believe it though?

[Sorry Vanitas, you're locked out. Have fun reading the pending identity crisis though. Roxas is totally unaware you're trying to hack it.]

I guess. It makes sense to me, and it applies to... whatever the hell you're going on about up there. The act of doubting proves you have thought, and that thought means there's something doing the thinking, and that something must be you.

[Jeeze, is it really that obvious that he's asking partially for himself? There's just a dismissive sound then.]

But anything can think and be considered real even if it's not, right?

Well, I think a person is real if they're truthful and honest to their friends, if they're dependable, reliable...

And of course, being physically existent helps, too!

[In this case, with the way he said it, Paru assumes it is either Roxas talking about himself or a girlfriend (or boyfriend, i suppose), but figures that himself is more likely.]

What isn't real that can think?
