perplexme | Thirtieth Keychain-[Written/Voice/Action]

[Private]
The Organization now has members I, II, IV, VII, IX, and XI. There’s also myself and Axel, numbers XIII and VIII. Xemnas is still gathering members. I wish I knew what was going to happen, but I don’t. I had to back down from our plan; I couldn’t…~~I’m afraid of~~ it wouldn’t work out well.

Olette arrived a few days ago. Olette remembers me. Why does Olette remember me? Is she from a time when I was still their friend? Olette can’t know about everything else. I have to keep her separated. People here, I don’t want anyone telling her about the Organization or me. I want her to remember me…please keep remembering me, I like it when you remember, Olette.

…though I’m one to talk. How could I forget her? Xion. Number XIV. We were best friends, her, Axel, and me. We were best friends, we would eat ice cream. She brought me seashells? She brought me a lot of seashells.

Why can’t I remember anything else? What happened? What am I missing? ~~I want to remember so she stops being sad.~~

What’s happening to me…are my memories disappearing the longer I’m in this place?

This new experiment…is it an experiment? Everybody seems to be acting funny, and Demyx has a Keyblade suddenly. Why does he have a Keyblade? The only ones who are supposed to have the Keyblade are Sora and me…Xion can use them too, and so can Kairi and Riku but the only ones here who have them are Sora and me.

What’s going on?

I can’t take it. I can’t…my head. My head hurts and it’s hard to concentrate and I just want to remember everything and understand.

[There's a Roxas sitting at the lake, sifting through the water near the shore and really focusing on his task]

…I've been here for 284 days. The weather can't make up its mind I guess. This experiment also seems to be a lot different than the last one. Everyone’s okay, right? Let me know if I can help somehow.

[Filtered to Axel]
I have a question…maybe you can help me out.

[Filtered to Sora]
Hey. I need to talk to you, if that’s okay?

You remember the members of the Organization, don't you? What do you know about Xion?

Xion, you mean like the girl who just showed up here? The one who sounds like Kairi. But, I don't remember a Xion as part of the Organization. I would've remembered if there had been. I'm sorry, Roxas.

...you don't remember her at all? Not even a little?

Nope, nothing. I don't remember her, at all.

But that can't be right. I wonder what happened.

Is there something I'm missing? I wish I know more about it Roxas, but I just don't.

I dunno...never mind, it's okay.

Are you sure? It seems important to you.

I don't remember either. I'm trying, but I can't remember anything else but those three facts.

Maybe, you should just take it easy for awhile. It'll come back to you eventually, I know it!

...you think I should just relax? Really?

Well, it won't help for you to be stressed out about it. Things, they have a way of working themselves out.

Maybe you're right. Resting for a while, it wouldn't be bad, would it?

No, at least, I don't think so. Sometimes you just have to clear your head. That's never a bad thing!

Mm...[watch it Sora, you've giving him bad ideas]

Are you guys back from your raft trip?

Yeah, we ran into a bit of trouble with the storm and all. Maybe Jack was right, having a girl on board, not good luck. Even if it was Kairi.

You can always try again later. But since you're back...mind coming down to the lake for a bit?

We'll definitely try again! I'll meet you there.

See you soon.

[ and as expected, Sora is there in practically no time flat. Hey, he's actually pretty excited that you finally want to hang out with him. So once he spots a blond head of hair, he ambles on over, and plops himself down next to Roxas. ]

Hey, Roxas!

[continues sifting through the water, though he'll grin slightly and look at him. Oh Sora. If only you knew Roxas' true intentions] Hi. You look pretty excited about something.

Just in a good mood, I guess.

[ ...well, Sora's pretty much always in a good mood. Well, an especially good mood right now. He'll just grin back at Roxas, and oh, notices the sifting. ]

What're you doing?

Right. [just gonna grin in agreement and go back to looking at what he's doing] I'm looking for something. Shells.

Mm, what do need shells for Roxas? Going to give them to someone special?

[ just going give a short laugh and maybe look at the water thoughtfully ]

I could always help you look if you want.

No different than the paopu, right? [oh yes. we remember this because Sora remembers this.]

If you wanted. I just wanted to see if there were any at all.
