[Ienzo is in the tea house; his meow wow can clearly be heard barking in the background at something or other, but he calmly ignores it.]

Ms. Beifong brought up an excellent point upon her arrival; it's been some time since everyone tried to systematically share information about the hints we've received since we arrived, including the dreams. It would be best if we could both gather the information and keep a centralized record of such, so that newcomers can be appraised of the situation and what we've done to examine it. I know that it's not always convenient for everyone to meet in person, but at the very least if everyone will provide me with their input here, I will endeavor to create a centralized record.

[ Who or what in the world could Ienzo's meow-wow be meow-bowowowing at? The world at large may never know.

(Or it might be an unfamiliar pricklemane with its nose pressed against the tea house's door. Maybe.)

'Ms.' isn't something Lin's been called in years; she's not offended, but her expression is definitely closed off for a moment before she clicks on her communicator. ]


A short summary of past experiences from those who've been here some time would likely be useful. It would also be worth noting what World and District people show up in, determine if there are any consistant patterns for the future when others from same or similar worlds show up.

--Also, someone else mentioned finding a 'keyhole' here in Traverse Town - what was that about, exactly?

[ It wouldn't surprise her at all if it related to the dreams she's had since arriving, and that, apparently, preceded her time here. Someone's not fond of this 'encouragement' method. ]

[Ienzo thinks about it for a moment, and decides to eschew metaphysical discussion for now. Ms. Beifong appears to prefer verifiable facts.]

The appearance of a keyhole indicates that a path can be opened to a new world. After fighting a large dream eater in Traverse Town, a keyhole opened to Twilight Town.

[ She's not completely rigid. But in her experience, it has always been best to start with data that has solid facts to back it up, then work on the less tangable after.

No point muddying the waters with lack of evidence and groundless speculation, after all. ]

How long would you say it took for those to appear? Only once more people arrived?

[shadearchivist]

A month or two after the world first appears, it seems. I don't recall the exact length of time.

Given the presence of relevant records on the devices are recorded, fixing a date to the timeline will be easier to determine later.

[shadearchivist]

Yes, that would be the best method.

[hiptobe_eraqus]

[Eraqus thinks for a bit.] How would people access this record? Just over the communicator network?

[shadearchivist]

Yes; I would like to set it up akin to Sora's record of dream eaters and their abilities.

[hiptobe_eraqus]

That probably would be for the best, then. There's the risk of an unknown enemy being able to view that information...but I get the feeling they would likely know all of it already anyway.

[shadearchivist]

Given the cryptic messages we've received while we're here, I have to concede that that's unfortunately true.

[hiptobe_eraqus]

How do you want this information compiled?

[shadearchivist]

If you could provide information here, or send a text-based message to my communicator, that would be best.

Assume that he sends over most everything he's gathered, or do you want to have it written out?

[hiptobe_eraqus]

I'll send you a text-based message...I'd like some time to try and organize out what I've learned.

Assumption is fine

[shadearchivist]

Thank you.

[skysmirror]

[A rare public post from Xion appears on the communicator.]

So do you need us to write something, or just mention what we know here?

[Because she does want to help, but talking to newcomers isn't as easy for her as it is for some.]

[shadearchivist]

If everyone mentions what they know here, I will compile it. If you would rather write something and send it over the communicator, that's also acceptable.

[skysmirror]

I'll write something and send it, then.

[She's more likely to not forget to mention something if she takes her time and thinks of it as kind of a report.]

[shadearchivist]

Thank you, Xion.

[skysmirror]

You're welcome.

[A little while later he'll receive a text write-up of what she knows, almost more detailed and carefully written than any report she ever made for the Organization.]

[Action, because she's probably hanging out close by]

[colorbymemory]

[Spot arrives to try to distract Lea. Maybe he wants to play?

Namine isn't far behind.]

Thank you, Ienzo. What kind of information do you need?

[shadearchivist]

[Ienzo nods to her.]

Everything people remember about the strange occurrences, particularly the ones that happened after our large meeting. The photos that people found and the mansion are of particular interest.

[colorbymemory]

[She offers a smile.]

I don't think I know much more than anyone else, though I found one of those pictures of Sora--he and Xion were fighting Nightmares. We're all having the same kind of dream, right, even if some parts of it are different?

I...haven't been to the mansion yet.

[shadearchivist]

[Ienzo inclines his head.]

Hopefully someone who has will enlighten us. Thank you for the information regarding the photo.

[colorbymemory]

You're welcome. I'm sorry I can't offer any more information.

[shadearchivist]

Don't trouble yourself. There are many people here who can help.

[colorbymemory]

[Namine nods.]

At least everyone here wants to help.

[Though she'd like to help more, this isn't the time or place to be pressing that issue.

Especially with Spot coming back to beg for attention and pats.]

[shadearchivist]

We'd all like to go home, I think.

[Ienzo pauses]

I've been meaning to talk with both you and Aeleus about something else as well; you've met Emizel, I think. He seems to need a place to stay, but I can hardly offer it without checking with the both of you.

[colorbymemory]

[Namine nods in affirmation of his first statement, then tilts her head in thought.]

I've seen him on the communicators and at the meeting...Do you think we have enough space to all be comfortable?

[shadearchivist]

I believe we could arrange things so we could all comfortably live together.

[He's not sure, but he supposes he'd rather not be on his own, and he told Emizel he'd inquire.]

[colorbymemory]

[Asking is only polite, after all.]

Then maybe we could try for a little while and see? If it doesn't go well, then we could always help him find another place.

[Living alone certainly isn't fun, but the apartment's getting awfully full. Closer quarters than she's used to, and while it's not bad, it takes some adjusting.]

[shadearchivist]

I'll ask Aeleus about it. I know it's an imposition, but as you say, if it's too crowded, we can help him find somewhere nearby to live.

[colorbymemory]

Oh, it's not an imposition. I'd like to help...just, trying to think of the best way to do it.

[Because it's no good if they have difficulty living together. Namine, Ienzo, and Aeleus manage fairly well, but they'd known each other beforehand.]

[shadearchivist]

Perhaps if he spends time in the tea shop he'll bond with other people as well. That would help him immensely, I think; I'm quite sure he's been lonely.

[colorbymemory]

That's possible. I don't think there's anyone her he knows from home.

[shadearchivist]

I'm fairly sure not. Well, we'll see what comes of it. Thank you for your forbearance.

[colorbymemory]

[She nods]

You're welcome. I hope everything works out well.
