Alexandria

[crimson_nooj]

The peace of death has not taken me from this world, not even on my journey to a place named Alexandria. Yet today's venture was not completely in vain. I do believe I caught sight of someone who had a striking resemblance to my old friend Baralai. I was not close enough to converse with this individual. Yet I was certain that Baralai had been

... Nooj?
What brings you to Alexandria?

[crimson_nooj]

So it really is you, my friend. To think that after all these years, you are alive. Quite amazing.

As for Alexandria, seemed like quite a busy place, a busy metropolis. It is a place worth visiting.

[myfinalyevon]

I'm very much alive, Nooj. I just had to think... for two years.
I'm surprised you're still here to talk to, actually.

I suppose so. I'm here visiting a friend as well; it's been a while since I was here. I think the last time I was here... I was with you?

[crimson_nooj]

You disappeared so quickly I was certain that the reapers had gotten you. It is quite relieving to know that you are still alive. I am somehow still alive as well. I continue to live on for some unknown reason.

I do believe it has been that long since I have seen Alexandria.

[myfinalyevon]

Ah... the Reapers didn't really get to me. I'm still the somewhat same Baralai. Perhaps it is divine intervention that you are still walking Sanzensekai, Nooj; after all you do, one can only wonder why you haven't died yet.

Where have you been, then? I've been in Macalania... biding my time, I suppose.

[crimson_nooj]

Indeed it is a mystery. Perhaps I have something which I must accomplish before I am able to finally attain that peace.

I have been spending my much of my time in The World That Never Was.

[myfinalyevon]

I think we all have something to accomplish before we go. The purpose of living is to find that light purpose and fulfill it.

The World That Never Was? Curious; I never figured you one for the nightlife.

[crimson_nooj]

It does seem that way. Knowing that purpose, however, would be most convenient.

It is quite a strange place. Peaceful at times, yet I seem to spend more time outside the place than in it.

[myfinalyevon]

Well then, there'd be no purpose to living if you had all the answers given straight out to you.

I have been away from Macalania for about a month; I've been in Treno until now. I suppose that despite the fact we say we want seclusion, we always find people, don't we?

[crimson_nooj]

Perhaps, yet it would be helpful to have at least a sense of purpose here on this world.

Indeed it does seem that way. Finding others is something which we cannot escape. It seems that we naturally gravitate to one another without even purposefully meaning to do so.

[myfinalyevon]

You always were one who wanted things to be straightforward.

I managed fine for two years, until the destruction of Twilight Town in September. Or was it October? ...Surely you've heard about it.

[crimson_nooj]

I did hear about that via word of mouth. That was quite an interesting feat, heartless managing to escape the reapers, or so the rumor says.

[myfinalyevon]

Yes, that's what I've heard as well. A friend of mine lost her home in that battle though she helped destroy it as well, I assume. It's terrible business, being a Heartless, isn't it, Nooj? I'm rather surprised you weren't there trying to bury yourself in the rubble.

[crimson_nooj]

Indeed it is difficult at times, especially with so many opposing forces. Yet the opposition causes battle and danger and prevents this existence from being dull. And if I were near, then I would have definitely considered it.

[myfinalyevon]

I think I could do without battle and danger, even if it proved dull. This is where we differ, I suppose; where I am content with the peace and you need the excitement. Maybe that is why we parted ways... after we did our part of killing.

I wouldn't doubt it. I never understood that part of you either.

[crimson_nooj]

Perhaps this is true. Calm is pleasant every so often, which is perhaps what attracted me to The World That Never Was, yet you always did seem to enjoy the calm moreso than I. Perhaps that is why we seemed to get along, a balance between the two of us, persay.
