A Far Off Dream That's Like A Scattered Memory...
In your dreams tonight your not alone. At first it may just be your typical dream setting. Whatever it is you usualy dream of. But throughout it, you start to feel uneasy. That sensation of being watched. You aren't alone. Though you feel this way you see no one for a long time. Perhaps you even begin to settle down and chalk it up to your

Then comes the singing. At first, it's soft humming that seems to come from everywhere at once and no where. It's a strange sort of tune, one he won't recognize. Slowly, the sound grows in strength. "Clock strikes one~♪ Now there's none~♪ Only you and me in this dark~♫"
A door suddenly appears in one of the walls. First the outline but the details soon follow. The voice, which is childish and sounds quiet young, seems to be coming from there. "Allen~ Have you missed me?"
[ooc: So this will be after he enters Allen's dreams if you ping this. That's the only note I'd like to make. >___>]

He watches curiously for a moment before replying.
"I'm afraid you've just missed him. He awoke moments ago."

A young girl, perhaps around 14, steps through the door and into the room. She grins and rocks on her heels. "You must have been quite close to him before he awoke." Her grin is slightly creepy, not quite human. It's too wide to be a normal human's grin. "So who are you, who has entered my domain?"
She taps closer, completely without fear to peer up at him. He'll feel waves of darkness practically pouring out of her. Not quite like Heartless or Nobodies but definitely darkness. There's so much of it in her heart that there's practically no light inside it. She is almost the complete opposite of Allen in this regard. She continues to regard him, her hands clasping an umbrella behind her back. "You, you don't feel like a normal human. Are you one of us, perhaps? Just not yet awaken?"

"I am known as Xemnas." He replies. "As to what I am--at the moment naught but a mere shadow. Flitting aimlessly in the world between life and death, caught in dreams."
Facinated by her, he has to ask. "And what might you be?"

And then the bored expression is back. She waves a careless hand through the air. "Road Kamelot. The 9th disciple. I am the Noah of dreams." She gives him a knowing smile. "And as I said before, you are in my domain."

He seems unconcerned that he's in her domain. But then he's always been relaxed and calm in nearly any situation. "And what have you in store for me for invading unwittingly into your territory?"

She gives him a surprisingly serious look. For a moment, she looks older, much older, than she actually is. It only lasts for a moment and then she appears to be just a little kid again. "You entered my domain. That means you have to play with me. Any way I see fit. You can't refuse, even if you don't like it." It's been a long time since she could freely play. How many years, decades, centuries has it been? She's the only one that doesn't, can't die of the Family. The only one besides the Earl.
"You have to promise to play with me." He can probably feel the darkness in her stirring. It gets darker, stronger. The small glimmer of light that had been visible before seems to disappear entirely. "I'll let you go when I'm satisfied."

This is typical Xemnas for you, Road. Ranting in riddles and not making much sense to anyone but himself. As her darkness sparks deepr and darker inside her, he gets more relaxed and at ease. There's a memory sparked at her request. Though the last time he'd heard those words they'd come from far more innocent lips. A realy child, not this girl with an old soul. Though by the time he'd been done with the boy most of his innocence had been stripped away. Still, that child could not hold a candle to this girl. She was far more interesting.
"I will play your game then."

She has been alive much longer than she lets on. Many years, decades even. Despite her young appearance, she is over thirty years old. This appearance pleases her, though, and she has no desire to change it as of yet. "Tell me more. Tell me lots of stories about how you lost your heart and what it was like for you to embrace the darkness. I love dark stories." They can play later. Right now, she wants to hear more stories. "I'll even give you something nice if you do."
Reply
"It is. Darkness should not be feared. I can sense you embrace your own without reservation. Those who dwell in light may never understand it. But I chose this path and have traversed it for many years."
Xemnas appears fairly young himself. Maybe late twenties at most. But inside is likewise an older soul. He had once been an elderly keyblade master named Xehanort. Seeing his life draining away he'd taken possession of a young keyblade weilder in training, Terra. Now he is Xemnas, the Superior of the In-Between.
"If it is stories you want, I will tell you stories." He looks for a place to sit first though.

She smiles when he agrees to tell her stories. She waves her hand and the room changes to suit her tastes. It's still dark, lit only by candle stakes that hover in midair. However, now it is clearly a different room. The walls seem to go up endlessly, covered in dark purple and maroon diamonds. There's a rocking chair in the corner by a large, push bed. In the opposite corner is a fireplace and several large comfy chairs. Scattered on the floor are various dolls and stuffed animals that have been disfigured or torn apart. And on one side is a large bookcase filled with books, horror stories no doubt. But on one wall, there seems to be a huge tear. Something about it is unnatural, mainly because it reveals what her world really looks like. "Sit anywhere you like."
Reply
He moves to the chairs and settles down in one, making himself comfortable and waiting for her to settle down somewhere too.

"I cast it aside by choice. It served no purpose to me. And so I traded it for the power the darkness gave me."
