Still Hooded, yo!

[The hooded figure's found somewhere to sit, and he seems to be holding a strange pyramid-shaped object in one hand. What could it be? Well, given the it seems to be glowing slightly red at times, nothing good.]

I have yet to be told with any sense of certainty where we are, and I have no star charts with which to locate myself.

It seems that all I can do is wait and trust that the rest of the Organization is stuck somewhere in this place as well.

Entirely possible. You haven't escaped Sora by any means, however. A simple stroll through one of the main halls could have you running into a good handful of him, drawn here from other dimensions as we have been.

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

A minor difficulty. Nothing insurmountable.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

You kill just one of them or one of their friends? They get so worked up it's like you've just shaken a hornet's nest with how many feel obligated to get revenge for a death that isn't even permanent.

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

Of course. It is the way of the Light to give in to their anger, and yet consider themselves above those who openly acknowledge it.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

On the bright side, the ones like us seem to be favored by this place. Those on the side of Light tend to get the majority of the most embarrassing spells, I've noticed.

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

And this? Just an inconvenience, I trust.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

A minor one. They get to continue to be male when trapped in a dress. If you'd come here sooner, you would have had the chance to see XIII in one, even.

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

I will pass, XI.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

Of course, Superior. By the way, what do you plan to do now?

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

[He puts away the lightsaber, now reassembled.]

I had not fully considered.

Obviously I will need to find a place to rest first, especially if I am to be here for the long term.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

There's plenty of rooms here. Take your pick.

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

Indeed? How fortuitous.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

Everything is free here, so it's pretty much take what you want.

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

I will remember that, XI. This form you are in. How long do the effects generally last?

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

Who knows? It's not like I was meddling in someone's laboratory. I merely changed into this while walking down a hall.

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

Strange. No apparent factors at all. How random.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

I've been told I was turned into a child briefly as well; I only have vague memories of that incident. Most spells are random, but I have noticed some have a bit of warning. If you see smoke, especially of an abnormal color, you'd do best not to breathe it in. Of course, by the time you notice it may already be too late.

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

I will take your warning ... to heart.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

Do you even have one on your world?

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

Physically, yes.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

I meant the metaphysical one, the one the majority of Organization members is missing.

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

Yes and no.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

Come again?

During our forays into Sith Alchemy and Magic, we created a beast known as the Heartless. It fed on emotions and strong resonance in the Force. In our experiments, a Heartless broke loose, feeding off our emotions, leaving little remaining.

We also learned of a way to restore the power lost to us, while keeping the new powers we had from our emotionless states. It was a power gleaned by draining the essence of the Force from worlds.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

Heartless seem to be common across every dimension. Still, yours in particular is so different, you'll stick out like a sore thumb here. Do you even have Kingdom Hearts where you're from?
