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]

[Seems like Roxas isn't the only one out by the lake, because here comes someone else, just wandering along.]

It is not a kind place, an' not where we would wish to be. But dat may not make it your 'Wonderland'.

[voice]

[flaring]

Ah, and now you've forgotten who you are.

[voice]

[perplexme]

Maybe...I'm still waiting to wake up.

[voice]

[flaring]

It's a little disappointing you would go to this extreme just to pity yourself.

[action]

[perplexme]

(oh hi we've never seen you before. Roxas looks up from the book and tilts his head) What makes you say that?

[voice]

[perplexme]

...what?

[action]

[andallaretrue.livejournal.com]

Dis is not a place of wonder. It is a place dat has called us here for reasons unknown.

[...yeah, she's from a time before the book was even published, can you tell?]

[voice]

[flaring]

You've forgotten everything. Did you even forget whose Nobody you are?

[voice]

[perplexme]

I'm Sora's Nobody. You're Axel, I'm Roxas.

[action]

[perplexme]

(oh yes we can) True as that may be, the Wonderland I know is a strange place, lots of curious things. A lot like here in a way,it's a place not everything is wonderful.

[action]

[andallaretrue.livejournal.com]

Dat does not make dem de same.

[voice]

[flaring]

We've seen and been places people here could never dream of. Different worlds, different people. You've seen your Other save the world, Roxas. If you were going to wake up, it would have been a long time ago, before you looked up at the sky in the Dark City and stared up at Kingdom Hearts. Before you've actually visited to Wonderland. Or any of the other worlds we've been to.

[voice]

[perplexme]

Then why are we here, Axel? Why Luceti? Why are we trapped in a place so plain in comparison to everything we've seen?

[action]

[perplexme]

[he pauses then to think this over, watching the fox run away with his fish and staring at the lake] ...maybe not. But then how else does somebody explain it?

[action]

[andallaretrue.livejournal.com]

It is a place of torment an' of sorrows. Despair and anger. An' when dis is over, dere shall be a reckoning.

[voice]

[flaring]

That's an answer I don't have. Does anyone here even really know that answer?

[voice]

[perplexme]

No. And I want to know...

[action]

[perplexme]

Reckoning huh?

[voice]

[flaring]

You've been down that path before. Didn't end up so well last time.

[action]

[andallaretrue.livejournal.com]

Dey have meddled in dat which they should not have. Dey will know de folly of dere actions.

[voice]

[perplexme]

I know. I remember.

[action]

[perplexme]

We can only hope so. When though is the question...

[voice]

[flaring]

So is it really worth it? You'll lose everything again.

[action]

[andallaretrue.livejournal.com]

I do not hope. I know.

[voice]

[perplexme]

...what exactly do you want me to say? I don't have answers.
