Now that Hayner's gone too, I wonder who's going to take over his body and come back with the new feathers.It's funny how quickly people come and go from here, isn't it? Makes you wonder who chooses the ones to leave and why they're specifically chosen

Are you willing to share your research with the public?

[perplex_me]

It's...not exactly research that's relevant to the public, I think. Otherwise sure I would.

[gandrism]

Sorry. I assumed it was relevant to everyone's situation.

[perplex_me]

It's only relevant if you're confused about people. Does that help?

[gandrism]

It's your business so I won't pry any further.

[perplex_me]

Well...it's kind of complicated, that's all. I could explain a little bit of it if you're really interested. [Roxas is just bored, don't mind him.]

[gandrism]

It's up to you. I have time to waste.

*Rin is just as bored as Roxas is.*

[perplex_me]

Give me a second. [And there's some fiddling and suddenly, voila, filter.]

[Filter]

I've been researching about replicas basically. Homunculi, clones, that sort of thing. I've been trying to figure out where the line is between being real and being fake.

Filtering forever

[gandrism]

I actually know a bit about this. I can share what I know if you'd like.

Filtering forever

[perplex_me]

Seriously? What do you know?

[gandrism]

Where I come from there's a family that create homunculi. However they're really just created to be tools to be used by the family. From my understanding they only recently started creating them with emotions. Before a few decades ago the family considered even that to be too extravagant for a tool. They also had reduced lifespans but they have the capacity to use large amounts of prana at a time.

[perplex_me]

Where we're from, replicas aren't too common but there are a few that have been made just to be tools. But then there are some people who look exactly like clones, but they're not replicas. I'm working out the differences, considering the replicas aren't supposed to have emotions but they do now.

It sounds like the homunculi and replicas have similar properties.

[gandrism]

Yes, it does. It's rather unusual that two separate worlds share something that is rather similar.

Are your replicas able to preform magecraft?

[perplex_me]

I'm finding that more and more people here have things in common with others even if they're from separate worlds.

...magic, to an extent. And both of them can summon a weapon if they choose to. Why?

[gandrism]

*She's heard about these 'weapons' from Ventus before...*

... Keyblades, perhaps?

[perplex_me]

[Ding ding ding, we have a winner! Give him a moment to think about how to approach this situation.] ...how'd you know about those?
