I've been slacking. Just goofing off won't get me any closer to that Keyblade. And this "dawn"... It has something to do with darkness, but it isn't the same.

Dawn comes before day. So... heh. Why didn't I think of it before?

[Riku's speech seems...almost nasally. But that's what happens when you goof off in the snow and wind up totally drenched.]

Sora's been kidnapped again. Figures it would happen eventually... the Malnosso just don't know when to quit.

[and there's a pause]

But I wonder what they're up to. I can't be the only one who got a letter. This better be some kind of sick joke.

[Kairi]

Hey. You get one too?

[/Kairi]


[Xion]

Feeling any better?

I'm just keeping an open mind.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Right.

[...well, this looking isn't getting him anywhere. Riku's going to...lean against a wall for a bit!]

How important is getting back to you, anyway? I'm guessing you miss the islands.

[meteorical]

It's up there...but I mean, I just want to go home and have both of you home, too. It's been too long, and we were barely there before we got stuck here. Well, I was. You and Sora are from different times.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Heh. Completely opposite for me.

[He shakes his head.]

And what about memories? Would you actually want to remember this place?

[meteorical]

I think it's kind of important to remember some things. And besides, not everything about this place has been horrible.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. But if I remembered...

[a pause]

Let's just say it could mess things up.

[meteorical]

...like what?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Kairi. I know my future.

Do you really think I'd give into the darkness if I went back the way I am?

[meteorical]

...point. I didn't think about that.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

There's a lot I wouldn't do, and it'd probably change everything.

Point is, I can't go back remembering this place. Maybe it's better this way.

[meteorical]

It's rumored that nobody remembers this place anyway.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. I asked about it a couple months back.

[meteorical]

...who did you ask?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Wasn't really directed at anyone specific, but I got a few answers. Just about all of them were the same.

[meteorical]

Sounds about right. I just wish we knew for sure.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Only way to know is to wait and see if we ever do get out.

After all, some people have been here for years.

[meteorical]

And then you have the people who leave and then come back anyway.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but don't most of them forget?

[meteorical]

Most, but not all.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

And that's the part that doesn't even make sense.

[meteorical]

None of it ever does.
