Twenty-Fourth Keychain-[Accidental Voice/Action]

[perplexme]

[so, nobody's really seen Roxas for the past few days/week because he's been hiding out at the lake. Today the blond boy has his feet in the water and he's laying on his back, reading a copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and actually relaxing. Or day-dreaming, whichever. Next to him is a small fox who's busy trying to catch a fish, so Roxas is gonna talk to him anyway]

If Alice fell down the rabbit hole, and I fell down the barrier into the forest...and if Alice saw a bunch of weird whimsical things that never existed in her own world, and I'm meeting people and seeing things I've never seen before...and the Queen was trying to more or less torture Alice in her kingdom, and the Malnosso are terrorizing us in their own world...does that make Luceti my own Wonderland?

Kind of messed up, isn't it?

[The fox voices his agreement and Roxas sighs, going back to reading the book instead. Feel free to bother him, really]

Think that's the same for all of us though. However, not all of us can do anything to them once we're out.

Is that a promise?

Dat is no reason not to try.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is what it sounds like.

[Voiced]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Close, anyway.

Point two: you get both more and less compassionate.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

I didn't either until I started re-reading the book.

[perplexme]

"Outerspace"?

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

People start becoming sociopaths you mean.

[voice;filtered]

[perplexme]

Yes.

...Uh, yeah? [points up] Where the sun, and other planets are?

[action]

[perplexme]

I've been trying. I failed.

[perplexme]

...huh. Why?

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

Why what?

[action]

[andallaretrue.livejournal.com]

Be patient. De time will come for what you seek.

[voice;filtered]

[flaring]

Good.

[voice;filtered]

[perplexme]

So what now?

[action]

[perplexme]

And if I don't know what it is I'm seeking? Will it pass me by?

[perplexme]

Why'd you send them there?

[action]

[andallaretrue.livejournal.com]

It may. But dat is de way of life, an' you may find another thing to seek in de meantime.

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I'm not the one who did it! I don't even see the big deal about going there in the first place. It's just black, and no air!

If you really wanna know, and hear a loong talk about it all, go ask Cid.

[action]

[perplexme]

[nods slowly, absorbing what's being said] Yeah...that makes sense.

[perplexme]

Who's Cid?

[andallaretrue.livejournal.com]

[smiles]

It will work out, in de end.

Maybe now you can get your ass back here.

Old guy, blond hair, smokes a lot...well, smokes enough I'm surprised he's not dead, and the loudest curser in Luceti. He's hard to miss.
