Thirtieth Keychain-[Written/Voice/Action]

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?

Come now, Braig, there's no need to be so standoffish with your dear old Master.

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Sorry, just... trying to wrap my head around this. I mean, dude, it's been years.

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

Years? Don't be ridiculous. I saw you just the other day.

[Voice] 1/3

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

The other...

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Dammit, not again.

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooookay. Long story short, there's been a bit of temporal instability. I haven't set foot in the Garden for, uh..., ten years.




You don't want to know what happened in between. Trust me.

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

Ten years...?

I'm afraid this is a matter we're going to have to discuss.

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Yeah. 'Time is out of joint' and all the rest of that. Only with less me being able to put things right.

Mmmmmmmmno, that's okay. We don't have to. I mean, what if I end up, like, changing the future by mistake or something? Shouldn't we try to avoid paradoxes where I don't exist but still do or something like that?

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

Ah, but I insist. I want to know what you have been up to. What studies have you pursued, what research have you completed... what worlds have you overrun with Heartless?

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Whoawhoawhoawhoa. You're accusing me of overrunning worlds with Heartless? Last I checked that was totally not my plan, and I'd think I'd know.

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

Care to shed some light on whose plan it was then?

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

...Lemme guess. The Garden?

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

The Garden.

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

[Siiiiigh. He thought so...]

Yeaaaaaah. Sorry about that.



On the bright side, all six of us managed to survive!

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

Delightful.

You never did answer the question.

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

All whole, and alive and everything!

It was... kind of like a really unfortunate side effect.

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

Braig.

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeeeeeees?

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

I won't ask again.

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

[Again, he sighs.]

Y'know, this is feeling distinctly like pointing fingers. Nooooot that that's probably what you want to hear, but.

Aaaaanyway. The project was mostly a joint thing. Y'know, just us six, working on things for the good of science. We had no clue what would happen in the end. It was just, y'know, science.

With... potentially dangerous side-effects, but it's not like that had ever stopped us before. I mean, science kinda isn't safe sometimes. And as to why we didn't stop well... you should know what sort of effects the darkness has on people. It got its claws into us good.

That and you remember how focused Xehanort got sometimes.

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

Focused. Yes, of course.

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

So... it was pretty much a bad situation all around, if you ask me.

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

Tell me, Braig. Is focused anything like... the good kind of slightly insane?

[Voice]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Um. Maybe?

[Voice]

[noheart.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm glad to have that cleared up.
