[Private, 90% Locked only because it's not that secretive.]

1,095 days. Maybe I should stop counting, but I can't stop. It's weird...it's like nothing's changed, but everything has. In the last three years, I've seen my best friends come and go, I've seen Sora come and go, and I've met someone who looks just like me and a psychopath who kept hurting my friends. But in the last three years, Axel's still as goofy as ever, Xion's learning just as much as I am, and the two of them have stuck with me even with all of my strange thoughts and patterns. I guess that's really what friendship is.

It took three or four tries, but I think I finally understand Sora. I'm still not sure what it all means to me, but I can at least say I feel better about things.

I guess...I've grown. We all have. But what happens after that? Do we all keep growing, or are we going to run out of places to grow? Maybe I'll have an answer to that next year.

...what's the longest amount of time any of you ever thought you'd be here? And were you guys disappointed when that amount of time passed? [Not if. When.] Not to scare the New Feathers or anything, but I know a lot of you out there have been here for a while.

Maybe I should say welcome to the new people anyway. I'm Roxas. I'm not sure how I can, but let me know if I can help somehow.

...oh,Axel and Xion? I know you guys are probably busy but I've got something for you. You know where to find me...and anyway I have something to ask you two. [On the roof, specifically.]

Sora you can come, too. And Ven. And...whoever. [He's got enough to share with everybody really.]

[[ooc: as a side note, currently at work and tags may be slow but I wanted to get this post up. Thanks guys!]]

You won't. I've got all kinds of faith in you!

I wonder if things'd be better that way. Like, if there'd be less conflict.

At least one of us does.

I'd like to believe that there would be, but I doubt it. If it's not angry conflict, it'd probably be conflict over who was more cheerful.

[Okay, yeah. Ven's gotta laugh because that's an amazing description.]

You know, that wouldn't surprise me at all.

Maybe someday we'll see it happen. I'm not sure I want to though.

For all we know, there could be an experiment like that someday.

No books or studying for you or me, either. [ She giggles. ] And no naps for him! Well, maybe just one. But definitely not more than that! We can't let him laze around the whole time. It'll be fun!

Oh come on! Just a little bit of studying so I can write notes about what's out there...but only a little. And only one nap. We need it anyway. I thought you'd be okay with that. I can't wait to tell him. I bet he'll be happy.

WHOA! You think so?! That would be amazing! The ocean is not enough to explore. I mean, it's a total improvement and all, but I'd love to go elsewhere.

I guess we age, but don't we just get sent back to whatever time we came from? So it's moot either way.

That's my point. It wouldn't surprise me, but let's not hope for something like that, kay?

Why not? They eventually brought us the ocean...that means they have to be hiding more from us. They just have to.

Yeah, supposedly. The problem is that I haven't met anybody that's been able to confirm or deny that, so I'm not sure if I believe it all.

Hey, at least we're not talking about this over the journals.

[Heh.]

If we were, they'd probably save it for later.

Just know that if it ever happens, I want you to try and talk sense into me. Okay?

Well yeah, I mean right? Where else would the draftees go? But what kind of prison walls would these be if we could roam wherever? It'd be hard for them to do their experiments, I'd think.

Really? No one??

Every wall has a corner so it meets the next wall. We just have to find the corner and break through it. Now if only it were that easy.

Well...my friend Axel left and came back once with his memories in tact. But I don't know if he counts because of how things are at home.

But corners are the hardest parts of rooms to break through. That's where the mortar is strongest. It's like the seams of clothes. So maybe just trying to find a sort of "stud" in the in

How are things at home?

...maybe. I guess I never thought of it that way. [Aw, way to pop his bubble, Fujiko.]

[Well.] He's dead.

No no, I mean it's good thinking! We should just look for weak points, right? Maybe there's a reverse corner! No one just ever tries all along the way. It could be a secret door! Like in video games!

Ah... Dead?? I'm sorry... but... he's alive here?? How?

A secret door's a good theory, but it must be hidden really well if nobody has a clue where to look.

...how does anything in Luceti work? [He kind of just shrugs with a funny little grin.] He's alive, my other best friend's alive, I'm separated from my original...none of it makes sense but it's kind of one of those things you can't question much.

Well, we always figured their droids must be using similar technology to that they use to kidnap us from our world, but what if they just know where the trap door is and have a key to get in and out of it?

Ahh... but... even so... Hum.... Does that make Luceti a better thing then? Since it almost is an afterlife for him?

I'll see what I can do. You do the same thing for me, okay?

Then I bet a lot of us are going to feel really dumb after this.

Kind of. I don't know if he feels that way since he doesn't really believe in an afterlife for himself, but I like it a lot more.
