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]

...that's depressing.

But you're alive again.

I am. My brother sealed me to a seed from the life-giving tree. When the seed germinated four thousand years later, I was reborn as its guardian.

[Action]

[perplexme]

So you're the guardian of a tree?

[Action]

[martelandmany.livejournal.com]

...In essence.

[Action]

[perplexme]

That's actually pretty cool...

I prefer the mortality I've received here in Luceti.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Why though? Because of the people you know?

[Action]

In Aselia, I was... a force. I saw all, felt all, was all. Here, I'm a person.

[Action]

[perplexme]

I think I know what you mean. It's one of the only good parts about being here.

[Action]

[martelandmany.livejournal.com]

Indeed. That, and the nature... It's rather beautiful, here.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Yeah, that's true too. It's definitely different than my world.

[Action]

[martelandmany.livejournal.com]

...Your world. What is it like?

[Action]

[perplexme]

The first one was perpetual darkness. But the second was perpetual twilight with lots of area to explore. Neither one had much nature to them like lakes or forests. In the second world, we had to take a train to the beach and in the first world, there was absolutely nothing.

[Action]

[martelandmany.livejournal.com]

...Absolutely nothing... Such is nearly unfathomable.

[Action]

[perplexme]

A world of nothing...for people who are nothing. It was fitting, if anything.

[Action]

[martelandmany.livejournal.com]

[A furrowed brow.] You aren't nothing.

[Action]

[perplexme]

You'd be surprised.

[Action]

[martelandmany.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I wouldn't.

[Action]

[perplexme]

I'm literally nothing.

[Action]

[martelandmany.livejournal.com]

...What do you mean?

[Action]

[perplexme]

It's sort of difficult to explain...

[Action]

[martelandmany.livejournal.com]

If you'd care to try, I have time.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Mm...in a sentence, I don't have a heart. I was born from someone else's.

[Action]

[martelandmany.livejournal.com]

...You don't have a heart? Pardon what surely must be a stupid question, but... How does one survive without a heart?

[Action]

[perplexme]

When a Nobody is born, we're created from the remains of hearts that are consumed by darkness. When my Somebody took his own heart into darkness to release the heart of his best friend, I was born.
