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.]

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.

Action

[seasaltkeys]

I'll remember that.

You're running a tea shop?

Action

[colorbymemory]

It's Ienzo's, really. I help, and we live in an apartment above it with Aeleus.

Action

[seasaltkeys]

...Who are they?
