It's around 5 AM that this goes up. ]

Has anyone had dreams where they were... someone else entirely? I don't mean like living a different life. I had those too. I mean ... literally being someone else. In a different body and everything. It's ...

[ Scary. A frown tugs down the corner of her mouth. ]

What about ... different places? Like ... like there were other worlds out there. Lots of them, not just one.

[ Her dreams were vague, and fragmented, but she thinks she remembers... a city in a desert. And a place that was dark, and spooky, with all these tombstones and ghosts...

But what woke her up was something else entirely. A disturbing dream about being stuck in some sort of pod in a bright white place... and a man with long silver hair and orange eyes staring at her. Why had he been there? What had he wanted with her?

Why had it hurt like that? So sharp, and suffocating...

Her dreams suggest... something. Another person. But she's almost afraid to ask. Still... ]

[ Sora | Locked 100% ]

... Sora? Can I talk to you?

[ As soon as she finishes saying the words she feels silly for asking. What can he tell her? After all, they're just friends... not even best friends, like her and Ven are. Even if he was in her dreams.... Nnnn. Stupid Shifts... Maybe she should just go back to sleep. ]

(ooc; source for Xemnas being a creeper is here for the curious, at the section that starts with "Where am I?"

also to clarify, late, the post is only filtered from her direct maternal and paternal lines. that is, sanji, nami, hughes, alexei, brook... etc. all other relatives, aunts/uncles/cousins/siblings/whatever, are fine.)

... that is boring. [ and strange, compared to what she's heard... could it be there's more to it he's not saying? ] I guess your alternate self just isn't that interesting. Not all that different from the real you, really.

Not like you. How's the dream you stack up to your regular waste of space?

[ she hesitates -- only for an instant, but the pause is there.

her dream self... ]

You know, if I didn't know any better, sometimes I'd think you were just jealous. [ it's a very Kairi thing to say -- or a very Xion thing, in this alternate universe where she has a thing called self-esteem. ]

Hn. What's there to be jealous of?

If you're not gonna say, I'll just assume it's something stupid. Like a circus performer.

Maybe the fact that I have friends, and a life. [ harrumph.

... okay that actually makes her laugh. ] what's so bad about being a circus performer? That sounds like fun to me.

Of rotting away in this tiny place. That's a great life to look forward to.

And you're right, even that's too aspiring. Trash collector's more up your alley.

That's how you see it. And I've always thought that was kind of sad. There are a lot of things here to be happy about, you know.

[ ... B| ] Then I'd have to find a way to throw out you, and I think your brothers would get mad at me. [ a little scathing, for her, but after the dreams she had and what she's heard, she's not feeling kind. ]

And you can have them. Just don't expect that to satisfy everyone... especially those that'd like more.

That's their problem. Not that you'd succeed anyway, but I'd love to see you try.

More like what, though? I still don't get what else you could ask for. Except maybe a lack of shifts and the war...

I would too succeed! You just watch me.

More options, more control. Just something else. Something on the other side of the barrier, maybe.

These dreams feel like a clue.

[ The tone of his voice makes her pause. He makes it sound ... real. Like they're not just dreams, but hints.

They can't be. That's ... that's too horrible to imagine.

Very quietly ] You're a little scary sometimes, Vanitas.

It's just an idea. If you wanna be more realistic, it's probably mass hysteria.
