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]

...everyone else?

You mean...please from other worlds? They know about it?

[perplexme]

Apparently some people do. I was talking to somebody who kept arguing that it was just a children's book. But then there are some people who don't know anything about it. You should read it when Martel's done with it, Cloud. It'd be a good story to read to your kids.

No wait, back up. This is just getting weird.

[perplexme]

Which part?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

It's just...there are people here that know what chocobos are, but aren't from Gaia. Or, not my Gaia. And there are people that know what your story is, but not the way you know it. I'm not totally up on my dimensional theory or whatever the hell it's called, but isn't that strange?

[perplexme]

Cloud, what isn't strange here anymore? Maybe it's like...an advanced doppleganger affect or something, I don't know. You're right though, it's completely weird.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but this is a different kind of strange. Not so much "defying natural law" as...something else. I don't know.

[perplexme]

Mindfuck is what it is. It's an odd coincidence though that while it might not be by much, most of the worlds the people in Luceti come from are interlinked somehow, whether it be by stories or...monster-birds. [yes, Roxas is still wary of the chocobo thanks to Cloud/Zack's description of them]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

They aren't- Okay, so they are monsters, but still-

...this is too much theory and conjecture for me. Forget I said anything.

[perplexme]

Exactly, I'm trying to move away from over-thinking. Either way, it's a good story. I still think you should read it if you want to try and understand it.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I'll get a copy. Simon would like it, at least.

[perplexme]

Definitely. Martel has my copy that I borrowed from the library but maybe there's another one floating around. Unless you want to wait until I get that copy back.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I'll just hold off till you're done with it, it's not urgent.

[perplexme]

Sure, I'll let you know.
