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 just got back to town, thought I'd make my rounds.

And you? Why are you out here?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

I'm bored.

And you still haven't explained to me how you're "from the dark".

[perplexme]

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.

[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.

[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]

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.

[perplexme]

Not entirely, but it kind of just happens.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

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

[perplexme]

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

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

What is that?

[perplexme]

My weapon. It's called a Keyblade. [and here, he'll wave his other hand and call forth Oathkeeper too]

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

...that's pretty cool.

Is it even sharp enough to actually harm an enemy? I suppose you can hit them with it.

[perplexme]

I've killed millions with them. Sora has too, including most of the Nobodies here, if that answers your question. Besides, they also have magic abilities if you know the spells.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't want to assume, but millions of what?]

I see. What have you killed, if you don't mind me asking?

[perplexme]

Heartless mostly, and some lower-rank Nobodies.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Rose didn't understand any of that, but whatever. They don't sound like humans to her.]

That sounds like a harsh world.

[perplexme]

Yeah, hence why a lot of people I know don't really know about it. Of course that changed when the Superior arrived but...

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She pursed her lips. Okay, this boy better stop assuming that she knew everything he was talking about.]

And this Superior is...?

[perplexme]

[It's not that he's assuming, he's just attempting to keep everything very loose and vague, but he's failing fff]

His name's Xemnas.
