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.

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]

...so you met him. Ventus, I mean.

There's no way that's possible. I'd know if something like that happened.

written

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I met him. Right after he arrived even.

And you would? How?

written

[perplexme]

Did he seem normal to you? [Yes, he's going to ignore that other question for now because this is more important.]

written

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Yes, so far as I could tell in our conversation. He was confused, but he seemed used to jumping around among worlds. So other than that? Normal, yes. Why?

written//filtered suddenly

[perplexme]

Everybody's confused when they first get here, that's not unusual. But I mean was he aware of things that a normal person should know about? [He knows he's being vague, but there's really no polite way of saying 'was he a total zombie when he first spoke with you'.] I'm just curious.

written//filtered

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

He seemed to be aware of things, yes. He was just like any other New Feather I've run into.

This is more than just curiosity. Who is he to you?

written//filtered

[perplexme]

Right. Just like any other New Feather.

I don't know who he is.

written//filtered

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Yes, just like any other. Save for the fact he looks like he could be your twin.

Have you tried speaking to him?

written//filtered

[perplexme]

He's not my twin.

I've talked to him, yeah. He doesn't have any good answers either.

written//filtered

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

He said the same thing.

Hm...I wonder why then. Maybe he's a distant relative.

written//filtered

[perplexme]

That's not it either. I don't have relatives.

written//filtered

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[Thinking, thinking.]

Perhaps you're dopplegangers.

written//filtered

[perplexme]

...dopplegangers. Like from two different points in time?

written//filtered

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

From two--

Maybe?

written//filtered

[perplexme]

...but I would know if that were true. A lot of the stuff he's said? I don't recognize any of it.

written//filtered

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Perhaps he's from a time far ahead or far after you.

written//filtered

[perplexme]

Maybe...maybe something happened and I had to change my name.

written//filtered

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

That's very possible. That happens quite often in my country, too.

written//filtered

[perplexme]

Why is that?

written//filtered

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

We're in a war at the moment. Sometimes it's better not to be yourself, but someone else.

written//filtered

[perplexme]

That makes sense. Maybe it's the same thing for Ventus, but he hasn't really mentioned that.

Re: written//filtered

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I don't think a person who has to hide his identity would mention it, do you?

written//filtered

[perplexme]

Depends if he thought I was him.

Man, this is more confusing than it should have ever been.

written//filtered

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

It is a bit, yes. I've... [Okay, not telling him that he's never heard of two versions of someone coming here. It would be too weird.]

I've never heard of anything quite so confusing. But at least if you two are the same people? You know you'll get along.
