[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.

[No written response for you. You get voice instead. And it's very hesitant.]

...oh?

[perplexme]

[Fine. Fine, you wanna play it that way? Okay.]

Yeah. I'm sure you'll find it as interesting as I did.

[voice/filtered] ITT: Potential BBS spoilers

[flaring]

Maybe! Depends what it is.

[Oh he knows he's probably busted.]

[perplexme]

Where are you? I'm not in the house.

I'm not quite sure I catch what you mean, but I think as long as other people see them as real, they're real.

[Also, hello there, Roxas. Okita met Ventus earlier and is now very, very curious about the two of you.]

[voice/filtered] ITT: Potential BBS spoilers

[flaring]

I am. Where are you then?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[That's a weird question.]

If you have your own thoughts, I'm pretty sure that makes you real.

...I guess it's only up to the person to decide whether they're real or not.

[perplexme]

Well I mean...[Roxas stops to think of how to articulate this. He's tapping his pencil on the paper and Okita can probably see the marks on the page as he thinks. And, well, this is going to be interesting considering.]

But there have to be some differences between real people and fake people, right? Like...how do you know if a person really exists, or if they're just something that's around to mess with your head?

Library. I needed to try and find something. [Except not really, he just didn't want to have this discussion where the others could hear them.]

[perplexme]

I wasn't exactly asking about me. [Though that's a good point, thanks Cloud.]

What if you're created from somebody else? Are you still real then?

[voice/filtered] ITT: Potential BBS spoilers

[flaring]

Want me to meet you there?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't a fake person not exist to anyone else then if they were just there to cause you trouble? I'm not quite sure a person can be fake unless their identity is constructed out of lies.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter. You still have thoughts that are only yours, and memories that are only yours. Even if you think you're somebody else, or someone tries to convince you you're someone else, you're still your own person.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Well, if I poke them with a stick and they feel it, they're probably real.

...but I am guessing that's not what you mean.

[voice/filtered] ITT: Potential BBS spoilers

[perplexme]

You got it. See you in twenty minutes?

written

[perplexme]

Maybe not. But how is it possible for a person to look almost exactly like somebody else?

[perplexme]

...what about if you share somebody else's memories too? Or if you look like somebody else who's not you?

written

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

So you do look exactly alike. I was wondering since I've seen you around and then...well, him. How interesting.

Perhaps one of you is the reincarnation of the other? That happens sometimes.

[perplexme]

[...pfff Ted. That answer did make Roxas crack a grin at least.]

Yeah, not exactly. [But this is good. He was hoping to talk to Ted anyway ever since Ventus mentioned him.]

Have you met anybody that seemed...unusual lately?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[-oh well. Uhhh, hmm.]

...I dunno. I never thought about that.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Figured as much. [And he sounds curious now.] Define unusual. We seem to have quite a lot of that here.

[voice/filtered] ITT: Potential BBS spoilers

[flaring]

Yeah.

[Aaand that's it from him until he gets there.]

[falenandawn]

[An odd question, but-] Do you affect and interact with the world and people around you?

[distressedude]

If a person exists, I guess that would mean they're real, but... [A pause.] That's a rather unspecific answer. What do you mean by a "figment"?

[Written]

[fabrecation]

[That question hits a little close to home here.]

... I don't really know. I've been trying to figure that out for a while.
