So here's the thing: ignoring the whole not technically real bit-- since, y'know, been there, done that long enough, thanks-- I gotta give credit to this world for somehow trapping me here. Noooot exactly something that's ever happened to me before. Way to go! Buuut I'm getting ahead of things. Kinda jumped right in with the dialogue without properly introducing myself, woops. The name's Lea. Got it memorized?

Great, now that I've got that covered, I've just got a couple of questions I'd like answered. First off, anyone seen any kids with giant keys hanging around? Or, well, okay, anyone with a giant key, I guess. It prooobably sounds weird, but it's kind of important. Aaand the other thing is, all kudos to the world barrier for being able to block me aside, is there anyone here working on figuring that thing out? 'Cause if there is, I'd definitely be willing to be part of that getting-the-heck-out-of-here committee. Just sayin'!

Thaaat's pretty much it. Thanks.

Did you even bother to take a look around before you got started, Axel?

[inherited]

Lea.

[inherited]

I mean Lea.

private.

[inherited]

There's more.

Roxas is here.

private.

[rescuerdownunder]

[he was going to go with long suffering because of the axel thing, but then

oh well look at that an actual bombshell]

... Wanna run that by me again?

private.

[inherited]

Roxas.

And someone else, too. Someone I saw inside of Sora's heart.

[trytryagain]

Yes.

[rescuerdownunder]

Toooooo which one?

[trytryagain]

All of them.

[rescuerdownunder]

Now that's more interesting. D'you happen to have any names to share with me on the giant key part? Or the other part, whichever.

[ Oh, no.

Roxas was bad enough. But Axel, too...

God, she could die for the pain in her heart.

But why is he calling himself Lea? Does this have something to do with the reason why Riku knows him, too?

He doesn't know her. He doesn't know her name. Of course he doesn't. Roxas didn't, either. This isn't fair. She wasn't supposed to see them again, not ever. She was never ever supposed to actually deal with the pain of her best friends in the whole world treating her like a stranger. She was prepared for them to forget - okay with it - knew that it had to be that way - but she wasn't prepared at all to see them again after they forgot. After all, it shouldn't be possible.

She shouldn't be here.

More than anyone else, Xion knows now she does not deserve to be here at all.

With a hot face and stinging eyes, Xion composes a text response. She's not in any shape to try to speak to him, or darkness forbid, actually talk to him via video. ]

... Axel.

Yes and no! Depends on who's asking. ...Mostly no, though. It's complicated.

Why? What changed?

[maiditoutalive]

its always nice when people can just jump right into things
and so far nobody has put forward that committee but im sure we could find somebody to get it going
if you really want one

[rescuerdownunder]

I can deal without one, just throwing it out there. It's usually better when stuff's organized or whatever.

[maiditoutalive]

i will be frank
just between us
i think trying to get everybody here to work together may be an impossible feat
which is ok you know it just means some things arent going to work out

[doublebladed]

[Well. It sounds like an Axel. It kinda looks like an Axel. But it's going around calling itself Lea.

Why is this place so confusing?]

Uh. [Well that's real intelligent, Roxas, good job.] ...Axel?

[rescuerdownunder]

Roxas!

[hearing Riku say he's there and seeing him... two wildly different things. HEY ROXAS REMEMBER WHEN HE THOUGHT YOU REMEMBERED HIM AND HE MADE A HAPPY PUPPY FACE? this is the face he is making right now. for an. embarrassing amount of time. and then-- right, that was a question]

Yes. Sorta. Mostly! Long story short, I kinda got a heart? So. Hey. Turned out I did have a next life after all. Heh.

[L...E...A... no]

[doublebladed]

...[He's just giving him a very contemplative look. Right...the basement fight. There...were a lot of things that were said he doesn't want to remember at the moment. So instead he just grins hesitantly.]

Heh. Right...kinda? [Come on, Ax--er, Lea. You should know you can't just settle for that.]

[eggplantier]

Um, no on the people with giant keys for me. Is that like, a thing where you're from?

[rescuerdownunder]

Kind of a big one, yeah. I'd wager it's like the thing. Capital letters implied.

[eggplantier]

Wow. I'm not sure we have a Thing back home. I'll get back to you if I spot anyone.

[misscongeniality]

I've been working at that barrier, but nothing so far. Got a bunch of answers about what it's made from, though. You got something?

[rescuerdownunder]

If "people tried to escape and didn't succeed" counts as something, sure, but I'm gonna go with no. What's it made of?

[misscongeniality]

Yeah, as far as I know that's not news.

I got 'something impervious to swords and enchanted hammers', 'something Adamantium can't dent', and, 'an energy field. Completely gas permeable, somewhat liquid permeable, completely impermeable to solid matter and most forms of high-energy EMR, even though visible light passes through it with little to no lensing effect'.

I think that last one's handiest.
