That was a lot of fun, Lilith! We have to do that again sometime, okay?

[He giggles, sounding slightly fatigued from lots of activity.]

I don't think I can get lost here anymore. We were all over! But... I don't think the funny barrels with legs were playing with us, were they? They exploded a lot, though... like bombs...

[There's silence for a

[not_riku_thx]

You should be carefuller. Those barrels sound like a kind of heartless.

[ys_cant_die]

Heartless? What are those?

[not_riku_thx]

They're what your darkness becomes, when you lose the light in your heart.

[ys_cant_die]

Lose... light in your heart?

...you turn into a monster?

[not_riku_thx]

If you let it control you. Or if you're afraid, and let it swallow you up...

But you should stay away from the heartless here, even the little shadows are tricker than they seem. They're always looking for hearts to claim up for themselves.

[ys_cant_die]

So if you're not afraid of the dark, you're okay?

And you won't become a little barrel?

...my shadow?!

[not_riku_thx]

Tch. It's not that simple. You need to be ready to face the darkness inside you...everyone has some.

No, not your own shadow. They're the littler heartless. Yellow eyes and twitchy antennas, thats how you can tell them apart from normal shadows.

[ys_cant_die]

Oh... but it turns you into a barrel with spider-feet?

You mean the bug-things! I heard they clawed at your chest... they were cute.

[not_riku_thx]

No, no, there are just different types of heartless. Some are designed to be different, some are changed up a little by science.

That's why they do. Oh don't tell me 'cute'...that's such a girly thing to say.

[ys_cant_die]

Oh... okay... so the little bug-things and the barrels are heartless? Are there any more here?

To get to your heart, I get it... girly? I liked them, though...

Do they multiply after they're killed? You know a lot about them.

[not_riku_thx]

Not that I've seen- Well, there was one really big one up the mountain when we went exploring...lots of other kinds exist, though.

Don't be ridiculous. They're not 'cute'.

I've seen enough of them in the Data Cards, in the castle I came from, to know about them. But Sora probably knows a little more than me.

[ys_cant_die]

A really big one? Wow... how big?

....I liked it. It didn't try to hurt me. I felt bad when I killed his friends...

You came from a castle? Who's Sora?

[not_riku_thx]

Big enough that they whole team turned itself around and decided to try it another time.

Heartless don't have friends. They just go in groups for safety.

That guy on about decorating Latimir up for Christmas? That's him. Big shoes. Big softie.

[ys_cant_die]

Sounds really big, then... ...bigger than the angels, maybe...

But they seemed to get so mad when I hurt the first one... none of them came out until then. I think they're friends.

...Latimir? He's decorating a whole street?

[not_riku_thx]

Well if you want to be all sentimental about them, go ahead...they still want your heart all the same.

No No, the apartment on Latimir...

[ys_cant_die]

B-but... it's just sad... I guess I will just kill them all so none of them are alone... It's so messy...

Oh... apartments... I remember those... I'll find him, thank you!
