After a lot of fiddling I know I now have this thing under complete control. It can even do base calculus. Who would have thought something so small could be so handy: perhaps I can even modify it to suit my own needs. Expand it's harddrive a little bit, and see what actually makes it run. Of course, I'd rather do that on another copy rather than

So your gateway wasn't repaired in error... I was beginning to wonder if the Dusks were experiencing some sort of detached confusion. Still, it's good to hear from you again, Vexen.

As far as your request goes, you're free to stay at the headquarters for as long as you believe it necessary. I expect you'll have reports regarding your participation there. This "Mr Stonard"? What is he like? And the others you've been in contact with?

Marluxia, though... Should I trust you won't be distracted by your "revenge"? If so, I don't mind that development. There's no reason XI shouldn't be reintroduced to the Organization in time... provided he has learned his lesson by that point.

Did they indeed? Well wasn't that sweet of them: finally it'll be possible to return to Never Was. For it is, isn't it? Nothing has befallen our world, I suspect? There's a lot I've missed, I fear. And, thank you. It's awkward, having vanished like this. But of course you shall have routine reports, sir, it only stands to reason.

Stonard.. He's a bit simple, but not unpleasant. He's more of a representative of the RRU than an active member, or at least he comes off like it. He does seem to have quite a bit of executive power however, which leads me to believe that he's not being completely honest about his own station here at OSTA. Otherwise, ah, he seems like a physically fit middle-aged male. Brown hair, darker skin-tone, brownish eyes. I've yet to see him actually work with anything, but he can pass through the laboratories and other sections here without attention or restriction.

Of course I won't be distracted, Xemnas. His life in my care is a gift to me from OSTA, but you don't bring your toys with you to work, now, do you.

It must be instinctual. A few of the Dusks were already reconstructing the Proof when I first returned. They seem to know in advance who has been revived and who hasn't, though I've yet to see many of the members whose gateways were recovered from ruin. The power of the Nobodies has changed in our time of dormancy. Never Was has changed. The world itself was weakened after the keyblade wielders' arrival. If only you had been there, if everyone had been there... you all would have understood. It's true power, along with the power of Kingdom Hearts, was realized during that fight. Now much of that energy is missing. There's new structural damage across the city: some of the buildings are broken down, others have disappeared entirely. The castle still stands, or floats if you prefer... I'm not sure how long it will remain that way. The Dusks appear to be making an effort to repair it all, but their progress is... less than awe-inspiring. It should be interesting to see what becomes of Never Was in light of OSTA

The Keyblade master actually reached Never Was? But.. that's disastrous! What happened to Castle Oblivion, and the carefully made plans we had designed? You speak of dormancy.. Xemnas, what's happened?

Stonard.. I'm not certain about. But the rest of the RRU have been helpful and are more than willing to show me the ropes. It's a positively delightful place to work, I'm happy to inform you, and while their machinery and methods are a slight bit out of date they've access to certain things I've never seen before. Such as this capability to resurrect the dead. It would take too long to summarize here, and in such a way, but I assure you that should you visit I will gladly give you an oral and written report. Just warn me beforehand, sir, or it might be devoid of structure.

Why Marluxia and not the hand that carried out the deed? Why strike at the weapon, when you could bring down the mind behind it? For all I do most certainly intend to get.. some form of payback for what Eight and Twelve have done - the three are equally guilty in my

Oh how wonderful!

I didn't notice any sea salt ice cream when I looked but...I was sorta...distracted..at the time. What does it look like anyway?

[l_accademico]

It's a rectangular frozen treat including no cream, but is more of a sorbet-like consistency. It's perfect turquoise blue, like the ocean on a summer day, and tastes strangely salty sweet. It's my guess that it includes coconut milk for thickness. In my world you couldn't go anywhere without seeing it for purchase..

[tindersparks]

Oh, okay. I'll keep looking then, I'll let you know the second I find it!
