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.

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.

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.

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?

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

It is the name of the power of which I spoke. A power drawn from hearts and the Force.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

A shame you can't actually get to other worlds from here to drain them. Some rooms may look like they're a new world, but they're still simply rooms.

[sith-superior.livejournal.com]

That is unfortunate. It seems I will have to manage.

[thornpricked.livejournal.com]

[secretly thinks watching you try will be half the fun, though after the choking incident he won't say that aloud.]

Good luck with that.
