[Have a new Lexaeus dropping in for a visit, clearly looking quite unamused at the new surroundings.]

I do not enjoy arriving at places I have no desire to be.  Tell me, who might be responsible for this?  I would like to have a word with them..Personally.

No one brought you here. It just happens.

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

Yet another place that appears to cheat death and take a person against their will.

Wonderful.

[obliviomancy.livejournal.com]

... what do you mean, another?

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

Perhaps your memories have been tampered with? Or you may not be the same Roxas as I know.

It is a city called Discedo. Actually having some form of cleanliness is pleasing compared to conditions there.

[obliviomancy.livejournal.com]

I'm not. In my - universe, V died in Castle Oblivion. He's still dead.

[cocks his head, though his expression doesn't change.]
So why don't you leave it?

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

They returned me to life, and here I stand.

[Crossing his arms, a stern, stoic expression remains on his face. As if Lexaeus had any other expressions.]

It proves difficult. The Roxas I know has been there for at least a year. People are taken and arrive against their will, and with their power suppressed. It seems my magic is intact here, if the heart is still with me or not, remains to be seen.

[obliviomancy.livejournal.com]

Powers seem to work fine here. Even the portals. You just can't use them to get...

[He blinks as the rest of it registers, and his expression sharpens with interest.]

You got a heart?

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

Yes. The Scientists of that world grant them. Would you believe someone actually took pity on Nobodies, and designed a way for us to become whole? Far less daring than what the Superior had for his methods.

I have noticed some difference at times. Emotions were difficult to control at first.

got icon-switched, sorry

[He ignores the first part; Roxas has never been a scientist. The hows and ways don't interest him so much as the result. Intent, he watches Lexaeus.]

... Can you feel anything now?

[seasides]

There's no one person responsible.

[just... watching somewhat curiously. he's never seen a Lexaeus before, though seeing one for the first time brings around a sense of wrong that doesn't really surprise him. it happens with all the wrong gendered (in his opinion) Nobodies.]

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

[Places a hand over his chest, as if to better connect with his heart.]

..I believe so. In gaining it, I tried to ensure I was not made weak by it. Expression is still a difficult concept.

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

So I have heard.

[The Silent Hero pauses, looking this new figure over.] ..You are unfamiliar.

[seasides]

I'd imagine so. My name's Kai.

[after a moment's indecision, he offers a hand to shake.]

You're... Lexaeus?

[it's probably pronounced a bit oddly, since he's used to the name having feminine undertones.]

[obliviomancy.livejournal.com]

Doesn't sound like having a heart changed much.

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

[Lexaeus never was one for social pleasantries, but he shook the other man's hand even so, his grip appearing quite firm, even from such a delicate move.]

I am. I am afraid you have me at a disadvantage about previous knowledge. If you know my name, you may also know my ties.

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

Because I do not let my emotions sway me. Demyx was insistent on letting it go freely.

[seasides]

[he's not really surprised by the grip, and lets his hand drop once it's done with.]

I know your ties, yeah. If you know a Kairi, then you probably know the basics of my life.

[obliviomancy.livejournal.com]

He would.

[Easy contempt... which quickly fades into something that's almost doubt.]

So, if you don't let it affect you... what was the point of getting it back?

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

[Returns his hand to his side.]

Curious. You have ties with Kairi?

[seasides]

You could say that. It's more like I'm a male version of her.

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

There are...changes. Subtle. I find I actually have some form of passion for activities I enjoy. Something about others whose company I can appreciate. It is difficult to describe. No amount of control can completely contain it.

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

..Male version? Strange. I have seen and been to many worlds, but I have never heard of such an occurrence.

[obliviomancy.livejournal.com]

So it's a good thing.

[A thought strikes.]

The... me in Discedo. Do I--Does he-- [Good phrasing totally eludes him. He's frowning now.] What's he like?

[empty-earth.livejournal.com]

[The larger Nobody scratches his chin in thought for a moment.]

Difficult to describe. I have spoken to him on brief occasions, but received a heart as well. He appears to have close ties with Axel and the Keybearer, but beyond that, I cannot say.

[obliviomancy.livejournal.com]

[Huh. That doesn't help much.]

Guess it doesn't matter anyway.
