[Recon. It seems like the right thing to do, so Roxas is going to do it. The idea is somewhat of a blur, a poignant lesson from way back when he first began, but disassociated from the Organization or not, some lessons

[Hey Roxas, does that sitar sound familiar or is it just you?

Either way he's just chilling by the Lamufao with it.]

[vacationisalie]

[Roxas could swear he's heard that sitar before. He knows he has. Once upon a dream, maybe.]

[And so his expression is completely bewildered as he wanders over, staring at the strings being plucks and strummed with the experience of a pro, looking over that hair and confirming- this is Demyx, alright.]

...Demyx?

[Doesn't hurt to confirm it this way too, though.]

[ninthserenade]

[Welp, that yoinks him out of his 'zone' pretty quick.

Cue staring.

staring.....]

...Roxas?

[vacationisalie]

[And even more staring. A staring contest, staring team!]

[Yeah okay, this is pretty weird.]

What are you doing here? I thought you were...you know-

[Faded. Deceased. In even less of an existence. At least, Roxas was fairly certain Sora had pushed Demyx through the loop.]

[ninthserenade]

Uh... Dude? I've been here for almost ten months.

[Stare.

And then it dawns on him.][This makes the third time. Or was it forth?]

[vacationisalie]

Almost ten months?

[Well that doesn't sound quite right...]

But you died- that wasn't ten months ago.

[ninthserenade]

I know, man. But... It was ten months ago for me cuz when I died I showed up here soaked to the bone.

[vacationisalie]

[That makes absolutely no sense at all. Was this a- time...parawhatsit? The very idea is laughable. Of course, Roxas isn't laughing.]

Okay... how about you start making some sense?

[Budge up man, he wants a seat.]

Its only been... four months, top, since you died.

But you've been here ten?

[ninthserenade]

[Plucking a few strings on Arpeggio, Demyx twists his face up in thought. Then he leans back just so his head rests between a few branches of the coral.]

This place pulls people from different times in their world. It's sorta confusing but it's like a weird time paradox thing in some cases. Axel's here but then at the same time his Other is too--Axel from when he had a heart. ...Saix's Other is here too.

[vacationisalie]

[Roxas listens quietly, mouth forming over the words 'Axel's Other', but not vocalizing them. His Other- Roxas has to meet him. There's a very personal interest in the matter that has him deciding quick sharp to arrange a meeting as soon as possible.]

So this place sucks people in from other worlds... right.

[Its not the weirdest thing that's happened to him, by far. More importantly, Axel is here. He's dead too. Roxas is here as well, existing fine on his own, and if Demyx and Axel can do it- maybe he has a chance as well.]

So if you two are here, then the others must be here, too.

[That could be problematic.]

[ninthserenade]

Yep. Worlds we've never even heard of, dude. It's... Really awesome.

[His expression falls just a bit at 'others', however.]

...Yeah. Me, Axel, Xion, Larxene, Namine, and Zexion. Sora and Riku are here, too. ...Xiggy disappeared two days ago.

[vacationisalie]

[More worlds- more people. And this time, he could talk to all of them. Roxas brightens at that- then makes a face.]

Larxene? [Sora was to be expected, Riku too. The fact tht Namine was here, but not Kairi; that was worrying. Namine had been a lot more accepting of her role in things than Roxas had.]

[And then there's the fact that Demyx doesn't look all to happy with the last.]

Xigbar... I'm- sorry to hear that.

[Plaintive, but its the heart thought that counts, right?]

[ninthserenade]

Yeah, that witch. I hardly see her around though to my relief.

[He sighs, tapping the side of his head.]

I still hear the old man's voice up here, dude. Don't worry 'bout it. Plus he left a couple things here for me to look after... A cat he asked Lea for, the scarf I gave him last month, the little sniper from Christmas... That kind of stuff.

[Come on Roxas, we have hearts! Somewhere.]

[vacationisalie]

That's good, I guess. [As little as Roxas knows her, the little he has known he hasn't liked.]

Maybe he'll come back someday. You never know, this place is weird like that, right?

[Of course they do- Roxas is sure his is running around here somewhere right now.]

[ninthserenade]

Yeah. ...He's come back before, so maybe someday. I'll tape him down to the stupid door if I hafta.

[A beat.]

...Y'know, Axel and Xion really missed you when you disappeared.

[Well, we can't all be as lucky.]
