I wonder. How long have some of you been in this place? What are your homes like? Do you miss them?

It's unfair when it's someone you care about, as well as frustrating... It's even weirder when some disappear and reappear with no memories of being here.

But at least those who somehow go away are back where they belong. Or so that's what I've heard.

[11deadlypetals.livejournal.com]

I have heard that as well. I can only hope that it is the truth.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

So, who are you? What's your world like?

[11deadlypetals.livejournal.com]

A place far more natural than this, which makes it all the more beautiful in my opinion. Real flowers and grass.

Forgive me for reminiscing. I nearly forgot to tell you my name. Atropa Crysanth.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

That's also a nice thing about mine. By now anyone can be certain that any other world could be more natural than Paixao. It's perfectly understandable to think back on what it's been like before finding yourself trapped in a seriously warped version of Earth's 19th century. Been there.

I'm Jake.

It's almost frightening how many people claim to have similar experiences. Would you care to share the tale with me?

Of course the following is only one half of his life... x3

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

Sure. I don't think there's much to tell though. My world is a lot more normal than this one. Nothing that's got places stacked on top of each other, no Lumens, no Heartless or these Nobodies I've heard about before.

Back home, I have my family. My mom, dad, older brother, and my dog. I go to school and often hang out with my best friend Marco after that. We either hang over at his place, or the video arcade.

I have my other friends at the middle school I go to, and there's this cousin of mine who also goes there.

Marco in fact was here for a little while before he disappeared. He was as taken back and confused about Paixao as I was when I first arrived.

I'm pretty much like all the other people my age. I may be somewhat bad at my favorite sport, but I don't feel all that bad about it. I'm not the exactly the smartest kid in my classes, but that's okay too.

How I got here... It started as one ordinary morning. Getting up early, eating my breakfast, saying goodbye to my mom and playing with my dog. I was on my way out the door to catch the bus to school when I ended up in the entry way at Vanaheim Gate.

How about yourself? How did you get here?

[11deadlypetals.livejournal.com]

Like everyone else. One moment I found myself waking up in front of one of the gates to the city without a clue how I arrived. Unfortunately, knowing who it was that brought me here is no comfort.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

Who is he?

[11deadlypetals.livejournal.com]

The Organization, of course. Who else could it possibly be?

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

Oh. Right.

I've heard some things about those guys. About kidnapping and performing experiments on people, and being "Nobodies" without hearts. That they exist on will alone--to which I still find hard to believe.

[11deadlypetals.livejournal.com]

Harder to believe than what you have seen in this place with your own eyes?

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

By now, I've seen crazier.

I saw something on another floor that floats in the air without wings and splashes acid clear as water. It had nothing that resembled any human features. It was like some glass blower's creation that came to life.

Have you ever seen the Nobodies? Someone named Sora said they look like people.

[11deadlypetals.livejournal.com]

I have only seen a few that have. I believe the white, flexible creatures that can occasionally be seen are considered Nobodies as well.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

Huh. I haven't seen those yet. Aside from appearances, are there any other differences between them?

[11deadlypetals.livejournal.com]

Different abilities befitting of different appearances. Beyond that, they are the same in what they lack.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

Well I'll be sure to look out for them too, while I get some friends to go with me to the top.

I don't know if we'll have any luck, but staying here isn't making my friends and family worry any less.

Thanks for the new information, um, Atropa was it? I'll be on my way now.

[11deadlypetals.livejournal.com]

It was no trouble at all.
