Open KH Mingle

[keybearer]

[You are here. You probably made a wrong turn down that dark corridor. Maybe your Gummi Ship got knocked off course. Maybe you just felt like a change of scenery, or maybe you already lived here.

Regardless, you've stumbled upon Radiant Garden in all its glory. The flowers are in bloom, the fountains flowing. Or perhaps you're less fortunate and ended up here or even here. Time's in a bit of a flux. Open corridors link from one version to the other.

And for those uninterested in sight seeing, there are other activities to enjoy. Several moogles seem to have set up booths with snacks, items, and a synthesis shop. There's a sale on sea salt ice cream, and for thrill seekers, plenty of Heartless lurking in the shadows.]

[ooc: Just a general post for KH mingling. Other Disney and Square Enix characters are welcome, too. Doubles and AUs are all welcome.]

...You should remain calm. When you're agitated, sometimes your actions aren't what you intend.

[Not at all weird to hear from a doppelganger, is it?]

[seasaltkeys]

How are you not nervous?

[cloak]

[It's vaguely surprising to him that Roxas should ask]

I'm only data. I don't have anything resembling a heart.

[seasaltkeys]

Neither do I.

[As far as he's concerned, anyway.]

[cloak]

I question that. I have your pain, your grief, your anger...

And someone with nothing inside of them surely couldn't experience any of those so intensely.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, well, that's 'cause I'm weird. And no one wanted to explain it. I'm not supposed to feel that stuff.

[cloak]

I'm not sure they would've had enough information to explain, if they had ideas at all. Sora's connected to a lot of people, and I think one of those connections is the reason.

[seasaltkeys]

Even so, some information would have helped. No one told me anything, and it was like they were keeping information from me.

[cloak]

It was probably easier to control you, if you remained ignorant. At least, I can imagine that to be the line of thinking.

[seasaltkeys]

[He wants to say something about how blunt Data-Roxas is but he really can't because he's the same way sometimes. Maybe that's something to work on?]

Maybe. Doesn't really make me feel any better.

[cloak]

[He certainly is direct, if nothing else. Speaking of...]

Feel, huh?

[seasaltkeys]

You know what I mean.

[cloak]

I think what you experience is real enough.

[Just his opinion, but he's got all that encoded into him]

[seasaltkeys]

Parts of it are, maybe.

[cloak]

The internal aspects, that is.

[seasaltkeys]

How does this keep coming back to me?

[cloak]

Related topics. And I know little else but you, technically.

[Punctuated by a pale shrug. Almost everything he knows is either centered around Roxas or from Roxas in some way]

[seasaltkeys]

You don't know about anyone else?

[cloak]

Just as they relate to you, mostly. I know what you know...and a little extra that was considered necessary.

[seasaltkeys]

So, what are the extra parts?

[cloak]

Information I needed to guard... And I probably understand computers better.

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas shrugs. He doesn't have the greatest opinion towards computers right now.]

What information?

[cloak]

The faces of people who need to be saved from their pain.

[seasaltkeys]

That doesn't sound very helpful.

[cloak]

They need help, and someone has to be made aware of that.

[He shrugs]

I served my purpose.
