[Today there is a red mummyman dressed all in red wandering through the halls of the dressing room with a general look of confusion on his face. Must be a newcomer.

That or he's lost his way. But feel free to come and talk to him all the same.]

[seasides]

Well, welcome to the dressing room, Ansem.

[rolls a shoulder.]

It's an inter-dimensional crossroads and now you're stuck like the rest of us.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

[There's a faint smile at his real name.]

It's been a while since I answered to that name.

[seasides]

But it's still your name, either way. It's a better name than DiZ, even if it's been used by someone else for the wrong things.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

I had my reasons for taking the name I did.

[seasides]

I know you did.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

But perhaps it won't be necessary here.

[seasides]

No, it won't be. Though I can't say you guys are very common around here. Haven't seen one of you in ages.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

'One of me'?

[curious Ansem~]

[seasides]

As I said, this place is an inter-dimensional crossroads. It's on a way bigger scale than worlds here. There are literally hundreds of versions of people running around.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

Of some people, I assume?

[seasides]

Sora, Riku, Roxas, Axel... they're the most common, I think. There are plenty of other people though. Organization and otherwise.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

[He narrows his eyes at the mention of the Organization.]

They should have long ago faded into the darkness that spawned them.

[seasides]

Some of them have already. This place doesn't care about death or fading.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

[...well, that's going to be a little awkward.]

[seasides]

I mean, I've died... mm, twice here? And people come here after fading pretty often.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

I see.

[And no, he doesn't sound entirely pleased.]

[seasides]

It's not so bad. They're not so much an Organization anymore, and... well, they're not all bad, meant to exist or no.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

Save the ones who first threw me into the darkness.

[seasides]

Save for those, yes. Even so, try not to be too quick to judge someone just because they look like one of the Nobodies. Not everyone who looks like one is.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

How so?

[seasides]

Infinite dimensions, infinite possibilities. Some people are from worlds that have never had any interaction with Heartless, Nobodies, or even magic. For example, there used to be a Vexen here who was in fact a high school teacher. He was entirely human, but not Even.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

[DiZ just sighs at that. This is not going to be easy on his poor nerves.]

[seasides]

[smiles.]

It's best to just keep an open mind in this place. Judge people on their personalities, not what mold they appear to be made from.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

A hard lesson to learn, after these past years.

[seasides]

Oh? Is what they say about old dogs and new tricks true after all?
