Because clearly Nomura is trying to be funny.

[ Here's Braig, and right now he was digging through what seems to be a chest. There were six in this one room he was in -- the room reminded him of Radiant Garden, with the windows and walls the same as to what the inside of the castle was. It was as bright as home, evem.

He does finally get out something from it: ]

What do you know. I haven't seen this for a while.

[ It's... a piece of red cloth, a bit ragged. He adjusts it around his neck as if to cure nostalgia. For some reason, there were a few drops of dried blood on some parts. We wonder why. ]

[there is now a little girl attached to your leg.]

Seen what?

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Well, that's rather nostalgic.

[he looks faintly amused, actually]

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

[ He does a gun motion with his hand, puts it under his chin, and grins. Something's around his neck. ]

Remember this?

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

I still had two when I wore this, remember?

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

But of course. It's rather difficult to forget.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[nods up at him!]

Uh huh!

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

And we're keeping that detail to ourselves, alright? [ Because /WAITING FOR BbS HERE. . . ]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Naturally.

[he laughs]

You know, I still do recall what you did to that boy's fish.

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

[ A pause. Hm. His lucky red muffler -- he unties it and offers it. ]

Wanna try?

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

-- It was for science, Ienzo! Really.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Even so, he sure didn't seem to appreciate it.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

[holds her hands up, grinning.]

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

I was planning to get him a new fish.

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

[ HERE YOU GO. ]

I know I put it around my neck, but you can use it as anything you'd like.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

... I wanna put it on my neck too! Can you tie it, Braig?

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Is that so? Well, even so, he may still be attached to his old one.

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

You got it, princess. [ And now we will fix the lucky red muffler around Kairi's neck. ]

It's not too tight, right? [ Almost done. ]

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

But the new one reminds me of him, you know? Kind of got a memory problem, too.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

Nuh-uh!

[shakes her head hard enough to send her hair flying around. she's doing a very good job of standing still and not bouncing on her feet too much.]

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

[ Aaaand done! ] Eureka! Someone's looking good in red today.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

... Braig!

[That's so mean, man.]

Isn't that a bit cruel?

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

Hey, someone else said it first.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[giggles and spins around, then strikes a Braig-ish pose.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Oh, who might that be?

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

I'll give you one guess. It's a kid.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Rould? Or perhaps that other boy... Vanitas, was it?

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

You know, this makes me wish I had a camera. [ Mocking tear wipe and sniff. ]

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

You got it on the first try.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Ah, somehow I'm not surprised. Rould can be a bit tactless at times.

However, I'm sure Ventus' memory is perfectly functional.

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

Frank, tactless -- but the kid's not hard to love. See Ansem for reference.

[ He chuckles. ] He wouldn't have a keyblade if he had bad memory. [ .... He still wants one, but not as much as before. b'| ]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

... Braig, what does a Keyblade have to do with memory?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[There's a bit of a laugh behind him - it's coming from a Xehanort who's looking at him with a smile.]

Oh, I remember that...!

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

If you don't remember having one in the first place. [ ZING. ]

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

[ ............. KIDDIENORT. This is new for Braig, but amusing. ]

-- It was cleaner back then, huh?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Well, he wouldn't be surprised at that.]

A bit, I think.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

But surely he does, Braig.

MY ATTENTION SPAN SUCKS I'M SORRY

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

[ He puts it on, then pulls a pose. ]

Do I still look great?

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

I did say if.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

True enough.

But then, what of those who have poor memory yet retain the ability to use said weapons?

XD No worries~.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[That earns a bit more of a laugh-]

As much as always.

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

Good! If I didn't, I'd be disappointed with myself -- Xehanort, right?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He gives a nod.]

That's right. ... I suppose you were expecting someone a little taller?

[triggerparadox.livejournal.com]

[ He raises his hand to show how tall his Xehanort was. ]

Ye tall, lab coat and purple cravat unite.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised.

[Another nod and a bit of a laugh, although it's tinged with sadness-]

Had to leave my own - back home.
