Dilan? is that you?

Ah, Ienzo. I'm sure you would have an explanation to this--this madness.

Rather, I shouldn't assume so quickly, should I?

Well, it seems to be a sort of crossroads between other worlds, and even realities.

.. Parallel universes?

then what is this place, if it can bend time and space to it's will. It looks like a dressing room.

Indeed, that appears to be what it is, although it's awfully large and has several other rooms.

Like what? [ Eyebrow raise; curious face. ]

Thus far, a music room, several living quarters, a pool, and a library have been found. Additionally, it appears that fishing is possible, and that worms and felines can be located. To that end, I don't think there's any real logic here, especially given the numerous duplicates.

When you said fishing. In a dressing room. Whatever logic one could think of would be broken immediately.

Duplicates; dare I ask what are the kinds of duplicates here?

.. And one more question: Xaldin. Who is he?

That isn't the worst of it, let me assure you...

As for the duplicates, they very. Some are identical in appearance, personality, and memories, while others are vastly different. As for Xaldin, I can only imagine that he is a...Nobody.

Heh, very well then. This just makes myself much more curious now, though.

[ At the mention of Nobody, he froze for a moment. BUZ'D. ]

... My what?

[ ooc; I FORGOT IF THEY EVER KNEW WHAT A NOBODY IS prior to explosion of experiment, so forgive me. :c ]

Ah, yes. Zexion says that Nobodies are...beings without hearts, who have no emotion. Apparently this is what becomes of us, due to the experiments.

.. Xehanort's experiment, specifically?

Y-yes...

....

But now we know the future, and we shall prevent it from happening. Hn, it seems as though Braig's instincts were correct indeed.

another Dilan, and yet it would appear that I remain the only Xaldin.

.. Excuse me?

~~And why do you look like me.~~

... I see. Well, despite my disinclination to spoil the fun for you, I'm Xaldin. You, essentially, after Xehanort's rouge experiments go awry and you lose your heart.

Lose my heart.

Xehanort's experiments.

.. We haven't done any sorts of such, not just yet, perhaps. And I don't plan to lose it at all, mind you.

Well, it's all in the future for you, then.

And of course, no one PLANS to lose their heart, it just... happens.

Now that I know it, I mean.

What has happened to all of you afterwards?

We lost our hearts, and therefor sought to restore them, so we have been attempting to rebuild Kingdom Hearts in order to regain our hearts.

As for my OWN story, I'm afraid it deviates slightly from the story of any other Xaldin...

*his sideburns are trying to introduce themselves*

I see. You're still in the proccess of it, I assume.

[ Was about to say something else, but--the sideburns. WHAT THE. ]

... I shant ask about them. I have a feeling you're tired of explaining it.

You're courtesy is greatly appreciated.

Dilan. What a relief...

Xehanort, so you are here as well.

To think I just came back from the laboratory.. When did you arrive?

I arrived just a few weeks ago. I'm afraid I don't have much information about this place to offer you at the moment.

That's alright. I'll take a look around myself, once I find a suitable room for my own. If there is one.

Who else is here?

You'll find the broom closets are remarkably clean... but in theory there should be an open room.

So far I've seen Braig, Ienzo, and Master Ansem.

.. Broom closets, Xehanort? [ Just a SMALL, SMALL smirk of amusement. ]

Aah, and then there were two left.

Broom closets, Dilan. Maybe you wouldn't have taken to hiding, but it seemed perfectly reasonable to me.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

I was told that there were rooms nearby. Perhaps you would like to move there instead?

Hn, yes, although I don't know if Even nor Aeleus would find it amusing. Curious, yes, but not amusing at all.

I'm going to take a look around first. Try and find a room that's... out of the way.

I'm inclined to agree with you there.

Out of the way of?

.. Xehanort, it's best if you keep close to one of us for now, as well. Most especially from what I have just heard.

Danger?

Oh? What it is you heard?

I haven't seen such dangers yet, but I shall agree to that.

Our hearts. Nobodies. Experiments. I do not wish for any of the future to happen to us.

They're out there. Waiting, maybe. For what reason, I don't know.

My Heartless said it was inevitable... I promise I'll stay nearby if I can help it.

.. You have Braig's guns, and you have my lance. Don't worry.

Hardly. As they all say, humans have free will. It's not inevitable, my friend.

The others have been calling this a "dressing room", though the probability of that being the actual name is significantly low. Furthermore, there appears to be few restraints in place- I have encountered everything from yourself to what appears to be some sort of... inbred between VIII and XIII. Highly illogical, but it happens nevertheless.

~~Even--no. He's not.~~

.. I see.

What is your name?

Vexen.

The numbers. I can only assume they were assigned to you all, were you?

They were 'assigned' in chronological order.

I see you've already been informed.

That I have.

.. Your new name. What is it?

Lexaeus.
