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]

Paranoia's probably one.

[Voiced]

Oh, yes. Paranoia has more advanced form though. If you're paranoid of everything then that paranoia becomes normal. Tragedy becomes normal. and you only realize how bad it was after it happens.

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

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.

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

People start becoming sociopaths you mean.

[Voiced]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Right in one!

You've noticed it, no?

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

More than I'd like to, definitely. And as strange as it sounds, it's an interesting development to watch.

[Voiced]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Really? I think it's typical.

People unite towards each other but at the same time loose a sense of what's right and good. They also, in time, stop caring about the ones left back "home."

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

Much like a Lord of the Flies affect.

[Voiced]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

And effect number three? It's the easiest.

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

Irrational fear, or depression.

[Voiced]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Goes along with the other two. And you were so close.

They grow to love their prison.

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

Acceptance.

You've been here for too long, haven't you.

[Voiced]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Acceptance is putting it lightly.

[Snort, and then--]

Nah, this place is just tame.

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

In comparison to?

[Voiced]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Where I was born, for one.

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

Elaboration?

[Voiced]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

No thanks.

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

Then why bring it up?

[Voiced]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

[Mine is an evil laugh]

Good question.

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

You're kinda strange.

[Voiced]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

I get that sometimes.

[Voiced]

[perplexme]

Guess it's not a bad thing.
