Twenty First Clone

Apr 19, 2009 23:51

The room is filled with faceless people, backs turned to your view. You can still make out that they are laughing, smiling, happy, and having a good time. There is someone in a long, hooded cloak walking around and through the groups. He has a bunch of cue cards in his hands, shuffling through them ( Read more... )

[Oh, a dream that's not terrifying! Finally!]

...Demyx?

sitaronthewater April 20 2009, 04:34:09 UTC

[He looks up at that, it takes him a while, it is a dream, after all, but it comes to him.] I- Wait. Carl? What are you-?

somekindofsin April 20 2009, 04:52:32 UTC

What am I what? I'm a bit lost at the moment, actually...

[Carl, it so happens, has figured out that he is dreaming, and has since lost his own dream in the crowd of other dreams going on around the City. He might be lucid, but the mechanics of this curse--because it's certainly a curse--are still baffling him. And darn it, he can't find his nice, quiet dream again.]

This is your dream, is it? It doesn't seem terribly cheery.

[ooc: And sleeping! Sorry about that...]

sitaronthewater April 20 2009, 05:47:46 UTC

What are you doing here. [a pause] Where is here?

A dream? [another pause, more considering this time] Cheery? No, I guess not.

[OoC: No! How dare you sleep! *hug* Night~!]

somekindofsin April 20 2009, 16:48:35 UTC

I have no idea at all. I was trying to find my way back to my own dream, actually... mm? I imagine 'here' is wherever you think it is.

[Carl stoops to help gather up--and, okay, take a peek at--the cue cards.]

Yes, a dream. Some curse or another... very odd. What's going on, then? A nightmare involving some kind of public-speaking anxiety?

[ooc: I'm so nervy! *hugs* ♥ ]

sitaronthewater April 21 2009, 15:40:06 UTC

Oh. Well, I think it's just some room. [Half the cards might not even have anything written on them, but what is written on them are such things as 'happiness=', 'laughter', 'smiling', 'interacting with a lot of people', and general observations about the dream people.

Although, unlike the other times, this time the cue cards actually allow themselves to be picked up and gathered again.] A curse, huh? That figures.

Public speaking? What? No. It's [a small pause, if this weren't a dream he probably would be more careful about this] research.

somekindofsin April 21 2009, 18:32:04 UTC

Doesn't it? I don't fully understand the purpose of this as a curse, however.

[Carl peruses a few of the cards before handing them back to Demyx.] Research? On what?

sitaronthewater April 22 2009, 15:41:31 UTC

Do you understand any of them? Most of them are just sorta confusing.

On- On hearts.

somekindofsin April 22 2009, 16:13:58 UTC

In a technical manner, no, although I suspect they're primarily meant to amuse whatever powers exist here.

...Hearts? I see.

sitaronthewater April 23 2009, 03:25:16 UTC

I don't think most of them are amusing. This isn't too bad, though.

Yeah. [Wait. There was a hesitation there, and normally he'd just let it go, but for some reason in the dream . . . ] Do you really?

somekindofsin April 23 2009, 05:27:03 UTC

I suppose curses are better enjoyed from a distance.

[Carl doesn't hesitate at all.] No, I don't. You've said you're heartless on numerous occasions, so, in a sense, it's perfectly understandable that you would be bent on researching them. What I don't fully understand is the concept of heartlessness as it applies to you.

sitaronthewater April 23 2009, 15:54:43 UTC

Yeah, I guess that's true.

Well, I'm a Nobody. I know I'm a Nobody, I'm in Organization XIII, which is made up of more Nobodies like me trying to get their hearts back. A lot of the higher-ups have always said that why we're special Nobodies is because we remember what it was like, having emotions. That's why we can act like regular people when we want to. [Is he going to regret this in the morning? Who knows, but he sure as heck ain't stopping talking anytime soon.]

But I never really believed that all the way. I'm not gonna say that it's not different, because I don't think it's the same as it was before I got turned. Even so, I don't think what they say is completely true. It can't be, because it just can't all be an act. So I always acted different than everyone else. Not like I wasn't different anyway, I don't even like to fight. But I think that that's just more proof that we do have hearts. Just, you know, maybe not a complete one.

And that's what I'm trying to accomplish here. In the City.

somekindofsin April 23 2009, 18:40:52 UTC

That... makes considerably more sense in context, I suppose, although I'd be very interested in learning more about how one becomes a Nobody. Do you mind if we discuss this outside of your dream at some point, when I'm in a better position to take notes?

...Ah. Well. I could try to help, you know.

sitaronthewater April 24 2009, 06:11:37 UTC

Well, I don't really remember all that much from before, but sure.

Really? You'd help? I mean, not like I'm even sure how you could help, but still.

somekindofsin April 24 2009, 21:57:03 UTC

No matter! Whatever little you know will help.

Of course, and don't underestimate the possibility of a favourable outcome! Where there's a desire to find an answer, there's almost always a way to locate it.

sitaronthewater April 26 2009, 04:05:09 UTC

Alright.

Yeah, you think so? [Hesitant sounding, but then a grin] Alright. Yeah! Sure, that sounds great.
