[Oliver is sitting in a bedroom in a flat--obviously a creation of the holo-suite. The room is neat overall, although the paint on the walls is peeling a bit and it gives off the air of being slightly old. There are two desks against one wall, separated by a dresser. One is very organized, with books stacked about it, a pile of papers, and a

[... So that must be Chloe, huh.]

... Oliver, your sphere's on.

[oliverplus]

[jumps at the unexpected voice, whirling on the sphere] What!? Oh. [frowns, but his expression's more closed than usual] Thanks, Lyle. Figures it'd do that...

[not_that_lockon]

[awwwwkward :|;] It seems to like pulling stunts like this.

[oliverplus]

[tries for a light tone] Yeah, I think it knows!

But uh...this is Chloe. Told you I'd introduce you.

[bit_impossible]

[he almost thinks that's Anna, but the surroundings of the room tell him this clearly isn't Gondovan or the 27th century. but he begins to smile--so that's Oliver's Chloe, the one he heard about so many times he'd lost count.]

[softly] You'll see her again, Ollie.

[oliverplus]

Doctor? [turns to him] Yeah...yeah, I will. I know.

[bit_impossible]

Sorry, didn't mean to intrude, but...at least I know who I'm going to visit now. [smiles]

[oliverplus]

[forces a smile back] Yeah...meet Chloe! Well, sort of.

[tsundereisms]

Ollie...

[oliverplus]

Haruhi? [Okay, he definitely didn't mean for her to see this; forces a smile] Hey, how are you doing?

[tsundereisms]

[a forced smile on this end too] Okay.

[oliverplus]

That's good. [Whoo, awkward. He has no idea what to say. What do you say when your little sister catches you pining over your girlfriend!?]

[twilightfell]

... holo-suite, huh.

[oliverplus]

Yeah. Sorry, I didn't know the sphere was gonna come on. [scratches his head sheepishly, trying for a smile]

[twilightfell]

[since he's currently lacking the blindfold he'd taken to wearing, he caught that sad, wistful expression, Oliver.]

It always does when you least want it to.

That place .. makes it really tempting to relive your past, doesn't it? Even -- the things that hurt.

[oliverplus]

Yeah... [a little surprised at Roxas' insight. This is just the room of a uni student, isn't it? Why would it look like anything special to anybody else?] I know I could've programmed the hologram to...you know, act like her. But I think it'd be too fake that way.

[dawnward]

Oliver...are you alright?

[oliverplus]

[jumps slightly at the voice, then forces a smile] Oh, hey Riku. Yeah, I just...I didn't expect the sphere to come on.

[dawnward]

We never do, do we?

[oliverplus]

No...I think it does it on purpose, somehow.
