[Never mind the colored pawprints that are appearing on the journal pages. Roxas is too focused on the task at hand to really care that his painting prodigy cat is using his journal for scrap paper. Soon, words carefully appear on the page in neat handwriting.]

Okay. Toxona and I have been thinking...all of this started Sunday, right? At least that's when weird things started for us. We wanted to know if anyone remembers some big event that happened that day that could have caused all of us to walk away with scrambled memories and different ideas. Please let us know if you have any leads. We'll be in the library all day.

[He then turns to his friend and business partner, Toxona, who's sitting next to him in the library. She's busy writing notes on another sheet of paper, and Nea the cat is on the table between them. Roxas is going to ignore his cat who's pawing at the journal and focus his attention on the girl.]

So Xion's convinced I'm supposed to know who Jixsan is. Has she said anything to you at all?

Jixsan? [Toxona looks up from her paperwork to shake her head.] No, she hasn't. It's been a few days since we last spoke, actually. Did she tell you anything about this person aside from their name?

[He shakes his head a bit.] Not a lot, but the guy looked a lot like Sanji. I don't know, she's not the only one acting weird. You saw Luke's eyes, right? I'm still trying to figure that one out...and it's like he doesn't even remember...you know. [About how he's dating Xion, he means. Nea the cat is growing bored with this conversation though and is going to continue making pawprints on the journal, walking right over the pages...and right on the voice function button of the journal.]

Sanji... [Pausing briefly to think on that name, not paying any attention to the bored cat. She isn't as acquainted with Sanji as the others are, but the name kinda rings a bell. She blinks at his next statement though] ...Yes, I was able to notice Luke's eyes. It's baffled me but this is a bit more of a surprise. Has he completely forgotten about it?

He hasn't said anything about it, and he hasn't been hanging out with her as much as he used to. He's actually been around Kairi more...I think the only one who's normal right now is Riku...which kind of doesn't help us much. What about your friends that you've made here? Are they any different?

We should speak to him personally about the matter then. I'd like to know if his own memory is as it was before or not. As for my friends... [A thoughtful hum] Rise and Roji both appeared to have changed slightly. Not in appearance, but their personalities and memories. I do not believe any others have changed significantly.

Maybe we should start holding interviews with people. You know, interrogations and get the whole story and see if we can piece things together. [Nea meows at Roxas then, tail swishing and looking into the camera of the journal.] Not now, Nea. [He pets the cat's head though.] I mean maybe there is an experiment going on, sure, but this seems really tame even for them. I don't get it. [The cat meows again, and Roxas looks away from Toxona, a bit irritated.] What? [And it's then that he notices the fact that the voice button is pressed down.] Nea, get off! [And there's a loud hiss along with some meowing before Roxas scrambles to disconnect the feed. Maybe they'll get lucky and all of that didn't just get blasted to the whole village...]

[ooc: and Naoto has been AU'd to KH verse!]

[Housemates will probably find Roxas in the kitchen with newspapers on the table, a palate of paint, some paper...and a very disgruntled cat who doesn't understand why his human wants him to dip his pretty paws in the wet colors.]

Nea, come on. You were doing really well, too. You can't just give up now.

[There's a hiss from the cat before he swats at the paint palate. Roxas sighs and shakes his head, giving up for now. Artists can be pretty temperamental, after all. Instead he'll focus himself on the journal, opening it up and idly leafing through it. His conversation with Naoto's been on his mind, and he has an important question.]

So...what's the main difference between being a boy and being a girl? I mean, girls can do things boys can, right? So what difference does it make? [He doesn't quite get why people were upset with Naoto for being a girl detective, that's all.] Answer me that.

And answer me this: how come everyone else got a horse last week except for me? Total bummer.

[Filtered to Axel]

I've got something cool to show you, but you have to go to the battle dome with me.

[Filtered to Xion]

Do you need anything? [He's worried about you, bff dos. He's in overprotective mode now.]

[Private, 75% Unhackable]

If they can break Xion, is it possible they can break the rest of us like that? I can't seem to get a straight answer on that.

Things have been quiet lately...no Vanitas activity, which is pretty weird. Wonder what that means.

...probably means the same thing as Aqua disappearing right after that experiment. Nothing, but it's still suspicious. I kinda miss her. The real Keyblade Master...having her as my mom wasn't terrible...and having a dad and brothers wasn't bad either. I shouldn't be thinking about it now, but I can't seem to get it out of my head. I actually have memories of having my own family. Not Sora's. Mine. I guess all I can do is store it.

[/Private]

...I'm Roxas, for those of you who are new here. Let me know what I can do to help out. I've been here a while, maybe I can answer your questions or something. Worth a shot.

[Until he gets approached, Roxas is going to hang out outside of KH house on the path. In his hand is his polaroid camera he received for Christmas, and in front of him is his skateboard from his first Christmas in Luceti. Seems normal, right? Well. Not until you take into account that there is a cat sitting on the skateboard and Roxas is pushing the board gently back and forth with his foot.]

Okay, Nea. Let's see what you can do. [Yes, he really has become that bored. Please somebody tell him this is a terrible idea.]

Now that Hayner's gone too, I wonder who's going to take over his body and come back with the new feathers.

It's funny how quickly people come and go from here, isn't it? Makes you wonder who chooses the ones to leave and why they're specifically chosen.

I think...I've run out of things to research. I guess that's what happens after two and a half years.

Axel, maybe you were right.

At least Xion's back. Hope she stays this time, but they seem to like her a lot. I want to know why.

( Small cut for small BBS spoiler. Also 100% Filter on this piece )

...maybe I should find something to do with my present from them. It's different than the one Pence had.

Okay anyone who's reading, what's your favorite thing to look at in the village?

[Filtered from Vanitas and Ven to the rest of the KH cast]

Okay. How many of you guys think this wasn't just some weird kind of coincidence?

[/Filter]

[Filtered to Xion]

I think I need to talk to you soon...it's important.

[/Filter]

[Filtered to Axel]

I learned something really interesting about you.

[/Filter]

So Luceti...what exactly makes a person real or not? What qualities and characteristics mean that a person exists instead of just being a weird figment? Trust me, it's important.

I really wish they'd stop taking her already. What's the point? They better give her back soon, or...[He just trails off, making a less-than-pleased noise.]

Man...I need to get out more. The rain's never stopped me before, but it's almost getting too cold. It's going to turn into snow soon, and then I'm really stuck. Makes me wonder...

Anybody up for a sparring match? Pick a place, pick a time, I'll be there.

[Filtered From Hayner]

So let's say that someone recently showed up in this place, but they're from a time where they remember you differently. How can you tell them about how things are in the future without ruining everything? And this isn't just a "oh I moved away" sort of difference, this is something a lot bigger...like memories.

[/Filter]

727 days. Nearly two years, and I still don't see any signs of me going home anytime soon. Should I consider that a good thing or a bad thing? For those of you who have been here that long, what do you think?

Oh, hey. Hayner! I'm thinking since you're new here and your sense of direction stinks still, we should probably explore Luceti some more so you get familiar with it. What do you think? Later today?

[Filter to Xion]

Hey. I think we need to talk.

If you can't trust your friends, who can you trust?
What do you do when...no.
If something's based on life and de--

So...if people you know are keeping secrets from you, should you bother asking them about it until they cave in, or just believe them when they say it's for your own good? How would you know it's for your own good...actually, how would they know? It's your good, not theirs, right?

I can't settle for waiting and doing nothing until it's over.

[He left this unfiltered from certain people on purpose, mostly hoping he could draw out the answers he wanted. The strikes aren't too legible, but if a person squinted enough and tilted their head, they could probably make them out.]

This may seem random, but what can anybody tell me about that Yuber guy? I need to know.

...I have a few things to discuss with some stupid guys with silver hair friends who keep hiding things from me a few people. Maybe it's your lucky day that I'm postponing that for a while. If you think it's you? Well, you'll know.

Naminé's gone, isn't she.

It's that time of year again, isn't it? For the snow and everything...it's kind of nice. Just means it's closer to Christmas.

How many worlds are there that actually get snow? My world never did.

[Filtered to Xion]

Hey...I'm ready to talk about...whatever it was you wanted to tell me.

[Filtered to Axel]

We need to talk.

[Filtered to Sora]

...have you met Xion?

[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?
