Thirty-first Keychain-[Action]

[perplexme]

[If anybody's looking at the window of room 23 in building three, they'll see a bright flash of light before it goes dark again. Coming out into the rain late at night there's a figure walking away from the building through the center of town, hood of his black cloak up and dragging Oblivion behind him. It's assumed that while resting, Roxas could still be aware of what was going on, so he's completely on guard. He's on a mission right now, but he's walking pretty slow anyway. A lot spiraled this past week and he's ready for a fight if he has to. Feel free to find him walking through town.]

I'm half a person. I'm...the dark side of the heart, I guess you could say.

[This reminded her of someone she met when was first brought to Luceti. Namine called herself a Nobody. But she's gone now. Perhaps this was a similar case?]

Have you heard of something called a "Nobody"?

[perplexme]

...[raises an eyebrow. She's smart. Very smart.] Who told you about them?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

A girl named Namine, but she's not here anymore.

[flaring]

I think you made it back just in time, too.

[perplexme]

...I didn't realize Naminé told anybody. But yeah. She's a Nobody...so am I, and so are a majority of the people I don't trust here.

[perplexme]

Can you catch me up to speed?

[flaring]

Yeah, but not here.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

There are more of you people here? Are they all spouting nonsense about how they're not supposed to exist?

[A pause.]

You don't trust your own kind?

[perplexme]

Where to?

[perplexme]

It's a long story. You don't trust every single vampire you meet, do you?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

No, but I make an effort to form relationships with most of the ones I know. Otherwise it would be a pretty lonely life.

[perplexme]

It's hard to have relationships with people who keep manipulating you.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Silence.]

I guess that's not very pleasant.

[flaring]

Eh, it can wait. Here I am already interrupting whatever it is you were on your way to do.

[perplexme]

Not entirely, but it kind of just happens.

[perplexme]

...where's Xemnas?

[flaring]

Why?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

At least here in Luceti, you get to meet other, less-manipulating people.

[perplexme]

I'd like to have a few words with him.

[perplexme]

You've got a point. I've met a lot of great people so far...definitely less manipulating.

[flaring]

You should hear the story first.

[perplexme]

[...well there's a voice he wasn't expecting to be out and about right now, so he'll turn and look] ...Xion.

[perplexme]

I would if you'd tell me...

[She glances at Oblivion, which just looks like a really huge key.]

What is that?
