Mission 2

[skysmirror]

[Normally Xion only uses the communicator to respond to others or keep track of what's going on. Today is a little different though. Despite the hood, it's pretty obvious she's happy about something as she waits to be sure the recording is going properly.]

Ummm...can everyone hear me?

Everyone remembers that Keyhole that showed up in the second district, right? It looks like it opened up another world. I checked it out a little, and it seems safe.

It's called Twilight Town. Some of us might remember it. I know it pretty well if--

[Here she pauses and if considering something, and then speaks a little more hesitantly.]

if anyone wants to know a little more about it.

[Those who know her can probably figure that the hesitance is less from a lack of desire on her part, and more concern at how the offer will be received.]

[OOC: Backdated to shortly after this.]

Comments

Action

[colorbymemory]

To hide you even better. If you felt like you were really part of the town and blended in, it would be more difficult to find you. Especially if you weren't trying to escape.

[At least, that's the best explanation she can think of.]

Action

[seasaltkeys]

So it was just a cage basically.

Did I ever get to live my own life?

Action

[colorbymemory]

[Namine flinches a little at the comparison, but can't deny the truth and just nods.]

I don't think any of us Nobodies did. We can try here, though, even if it's only for a little while.

Action

[seasaltkeys]

Won't it just be another life to lose then?

[The glass is always half empty for this guy.]

Action

[colorbymemory]

Maybe, but it would have been only yours.

[For some reason that seems important.]

Action

[seasaltkeys]

And the other ones weren't mine?

Action

[colorbymemory]

Xemnas and DiZ didn't seem to think so. But they're not here now, so...

[He's free to make his own path, if he wants.]

Action

[seasaltkeys]

I guess not. What happens if they show up though?

Action

[colorbymemory]

We'll be prepared for them.

[There were quite a few people here who aren't best pleased with Xemnas. DiZ was a different story, but those who had dealt with him before would know to be wary and put others on their guard.]

Action

[seasaltkeys]

I kinda like the sound of that.

Action

[colorbymemory]

[She nods. Best to be prepared, but that isn't a subject to dwell on.]

Umm...Did you want to look around? You could ask some more questions while we're walking, if you want.

Action

[seasaltkeys]

[He thinks for a moment.]

It's all the same though, right? Everything's here but the people.

Action

[colorbymemory]

Yes, everything but the people.

[It's kind of unsettling, now that she thinks about it.]

Action

[seasaltkeys]

Just seems wrong. At least the digital version had them. Twilight Town's not a ghost town after all.

Action

[colorbymemory]

No. No, it isn't.

Maybe some of us will move here eventually.

Action

[seasaltkeys]

How many are there? Around here?

Action

[colorbymemory]

I think there's about thirty of us.

Action

[seasaltkeys]

And no one's given any reason why.

[It's a statement. He doesn't quite know where he's going with this.]

Action

[colorbymemory]

No. There was a message, but it didn't tell us much. We've been trying to think of things ourselves, but we don't have much information to use yet.

Action

[seasaltkeys]

So it's just wander around and wait for something to happen.

[He sighs.]</small. I can't tell if that's much of a life or not.

Action

[colorbymemory]

Isn't any life what you make of it?

Action

[seasaltkeys]

I guess so.

[He's hesitant. He's not sure if it's worth to forge relationships again, to start caring about people again. He doesn't want to lose it all again.]

Action

[colorbymemory]

[Being alone is much, much worse, as far as Namine is concerned.

It's tough when you suddenly have to make decisions by yourself, though.]

You don't have to decide everything today. Will you stay at the hotel?

[Not everybody does--Bolin has his earth tent.]

Action

[seasaltkeys]

I don't know. Maybe? I stayed there last night so I don't think I have the money.

I. I think I'd rather stay here.

Action

[colorbymemory]

I see. If you need anything...I don't know if the communicators work when we're in different worlds, but I'm usually at the tea shop in the Fourth District if you need anything.
