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.

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.

What if a person only has one or the other though? ...I know it sounds impossible, but just go with it?

In that case, I guess it'd have to depend on whether it's sincere. If you just have a mind, it should be a sincere mind. As long as it's no controlled by something, you know? Robots can have minds, but those minds are controlled by science, in a way. And their hearts are... batteries or whatever.

[...hmm. Give him a moment to think on that. His mind counted as being sincere, but did Xion's? Did Ventus's?] I guess that's a good point. If a person's in control, they're just as real as a human, I suppose.

Right! In control!

[Oh Sonny. Why so cute.]

Right. Hey, thanks a lot. You've given me a bit to think about.

Re: [Written]

[sofar-sogr8.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well, you're welcome, my friend!

I'm Sonny, by the way.

[Written]

[perplexme]

I'm Roxas. Good to meet you, Sonny. Sorry all of that was kind of confusing.

Re: [Written]

[sofar-sogr8.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's ok, Roxas! I could go for a little brain teaser around here, honestly!

[Written]

[perplexme]

Being in Luceti doesn't challenge you enough or something?

Re: [Written]

[sofar-sogr8.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get a challenge, alright! But it definitely made me think.

[Written]

[perplexme]

Glad I could help with that then. It's the least I could do...I guess.

Re: [Written]

[sofar-sogr8.livejournal.com]

Aw! Thanks for that, Roxas!

How long have you been at Luceti?

[Written]

[perplexme]

If I'm adding right, about 26 months. It's definitely been a while.

Re: [Written]

[sofar-sogr8.livejournal.com]

Whoa, that's over two years! You're a regular veteran compared to me!

[Written]

[perplexme]

Yeah, I guess so...there's a couple of other people that have been here just as long, maybe even longer. You brand new?

Re: [Written]

[sofar-sogr8.livejournal.com]

Not quite. I've been here for about five or six months now.

[Written]

[perplexme]

That's still not too bad though, enough time to get you settled in. Are you here by yourself?

Re: [Written]

[sofar-sogr8.livejournal.com]

Well, I've made a few friends here, but there's no one here from my world.

[Written]

[perplexme]

That's kind of a bummer. Think they'll ever show up?

Re: [Written]

[sofar-sogr8.livejournal.com]

I hope not. For their sake! Even though I'd love to see them again...

[Written]

[perplexme]

I used to think that way too before a lot of my friends started to show up. Now I don't want them to leave without me.

Re: [Written]

[sofar-sogr8.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can see how that would make sense. Having your friends show up and then feeling sort of... abandoned when they disappear. I hear that happens to a lot of people here.

[Written]

[perplexme]

Yeah, definitely.

...somebody really important to me and my friends just left recently. It kind of hit all of us pretty hard, especially since he was here for so long.

Re: [Written]

[sofar-sogr8.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry to hear that! That must be tough.

[Written]

[perplexme]

It's been crazy trying to get used to it, but he'll probably be back. He's one of those that the Malnosso like to bring here and take out again only to bring back later.
