Believe in Wonderland

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

[As Ienzo wanders into the halls of the dressing rooms he almost instantly plops against a wall. He seems to be carrying books, papers, and... a bag with pieces of what looks like a mushroom?

As he sits, he gives a sigh of relief...]

Perhaps I should add a warning to the map about that area...

[ooc: Yus, he found Wonderland. :| Tags will be slow because I'm at a hotel.

edit: going to bed. Will tag when I can tomorrow!]

Warning?

[behold, a small Demyx.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

[He glances over towards the kid, but doesn't move from his spot quite yet]

Well, I've spent the past few days researching many of the rooms here, and one of them happened to be... unique, in a word.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Unique?

[wanders over, looking curious.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Indeed. It contained unusual things such as upside-down rooms and an intriguing mushroom.

[he briefly lifts the bag]

I've taken a few samples to test in a bit, actually.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

... Upside-down rooms?

[whaaat.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

...I kid you not, honestly. It also contained rather small doors that only small creatures could fit through under normal circumstances.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

Why?

[This coming from a kid who looks to be fifteenish and slightly on the gangly side.]

[pyromagick.livejournal.com]

{ Nocturne floats above Ienzo, snickering. }

Of all rooms to be lost in- your conscience has quite a taste in worlds.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Hm?

[glances at the stranger for a moment, then--]

Oh, well the room is a bit strange, and it doesn't take much to become lost while exploring the area. At least, that's what I feel upon observing the area.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

I take it that you're familiar with it, then?

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

That's all?

[Apparently that doesn't warrant a warning, in his mind...]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily.

[he repositions himself, then continues]

The room contained strange foods that could alter one's size with a single bite, unusual creatures, often ones that aren't necessarily friendly, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if heartless were present.

[pyromagick.livejournal.com]

Obviously. My sisters and I patrol areas of Wonderland.

{ She spins to float upside, crossing her arms. } What have you got there?

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

Those are the things that take people's hearts, right?

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Intriguing. In that case I suppose you're a heartless?

As for the bag, it contains bits of a mushroom I located during my venture there.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Precisely. Needless to say, it isn't a pleasant experience.

[pyromagick.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know what those are. I was talking about those articles of... paper.

{ ...Can't help but snort, pointing at the gem on her chest with a Heartless emblem. } Quite. I thought you would've noticed earlier.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

I noticed the emblem, but a majority of the heartless I've seen during my stay here haven't been humanoid, and those who have haven't really resembled the more common variety.

[picks up the papers for a moment, just to straighten them]

And these... well, they're research notes.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Kid's room?

[confused!]

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

Can you kill them?

[He doesn't know much about them, see.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. Not even a small child could fit-- more importantly, the overall environment was quite surreal, similar to the... 'Beatles' room here, but not quite.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

You can, but it wouldn't surprise me if they could be revived similarly to the people here who have faced death. Then again, I've avoided heartless due to an experience here with one in particular.

[pyromagick.livejournal.com]

What a shame. But alas, you humans do provide an excellent means of entertainment. I never knew Those with Hearts would be so sensitive. { Smiles, clearly amused at her past antics. }

{ And there she goes with a rather ludicrous laugh. } Hah. I'm sorry to say, but that's quite the waste of effort.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

People come back here?

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Well, with a heart comes emotions-- whereas a Nobody likely would only be able to replicate sensitivity through memories, others are easily phased. But even some with hearts are rather cold and distant-- it varies depending on the individual.

[and now he'll stand]

How, exactly, is it a waste? True, most of this world makes little sense, but that does make it rather intriguing.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Correct. Some return within days, others weeks-- regardless, it's clear that death does not last.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

[There's a frown at that. Apparently this thought is not a pleasant one.]

[pyromagick.livejournal.com]

{ Nocturne twiddles with fire magic as Ienzo provides explanation. She looks back at him as he stands up and snorts yet again. }

Before I answer, let me ask you this: Where, when and how did you come across this Wonderland?

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

'The Beatles room'?

[stare.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

According to another Demyx it's a room based on the song lyrics of a music group from his world.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Is there something wrong?

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

I was examining several of the World-based rooms here when I came across it. As I hadn't seen it before, I was curious and entered.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

The dead should stay dead.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

......... Oh man that's awesome. I gotta see this!

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

It is more natural, but think of it this way: If someone dear to you were to die, would you not want to see them again? Furthermore, I doubt anyone would want to permanently die so far away from their homes...

Lastly, this world seems to prevent any escape, even through death.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

It's interesting, if nothing else, and, from what I saw, rather harmless as well.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

[There's a silence and a sort of sorrow in his eyes at that. He wouldn't mind seeing his family again, but... he's not gonna mention it.]

I'm going to find a way out. No matter how long it takes.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Where is it?

[totally excited oh my god a room based on lyrics.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

It should be somewhere nearby, but I could very well be wrong. The truth is, I just left my previous location after being lost for several days, so I'm not entirely sure which hall I'm currently in.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Well, I wish you luck, but I myself have remained here for more than an entire year-- though some have left, it was never a choice of their own.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

[nods]

I can be patient.

[pyromagick.livejournal.com]

I'm rather shocked that you haven't been eaten alive by the Heartless. Unless, for some unfortunate reason, these rooms of yours have none.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Oh, when I do see heartless I tend to quietly leave and generally keep my distance. There have been a few exceptions, but generally they haven't been in relation to the non-sentient variety.

Actually, heartless seem rather lacking in these areas, as do any residents of the areas.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Hm, initially I was rather patient, but, truth be told, I have no real motivation to leave as of now.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

I have to go back. No one else can do what needs to be done.

[and by the tone in his voice this is very important]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

I suppose that would be none of my business. Still, you may be fortunate enough to return from the exact point you in which you left; a few who have come and gone a few times have experienced this.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

I suppose I'll find out when I get there.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Why'd you go and do that?

[by 'that', he means get lost.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Believe me, it wasn't intentional. However, upon exploring the area it was incredibly difficult to retrace my steps and return to where I started.
