[when Marluxia speaks, his voice sounds a little more emotionless than usual, as though he's trying to keep what memory of unease he has from leaking through. This information troubles him greatly--enough, obviously, to eschew his typical cloak of anonymity] While taking a look through documents in my possession, I've come across something... curious. Secrets are being kept from us all, it seems--more than we could have possibly imagined.

As there are more than a few of you who are unlikely to take me at my word, allow me to provide you with an image of the document itself. There are pieces missing, but I assume you can understand the gist of it, as well as the insight into our dilemma it provides.

[thoughtfully] "The seams holding together the worlds..." Hm. That sounds ominous, considering that in my experience, when the universes are crossed with the gateways closed, they sort of tend to boil.

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

Regardless of what happens in that instance, the fact that they have "unraveled" at all is enough to cause disquiet.

[voice]

[twice_promised]

.... What does all this mean, exactly?

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

Someone has a power that I thought to be beyond his grasp, and it seems he has already made use of it.

[thefutureboy]

Fix one world, get stuck in another that's falling apart. Now I'm waiting for someone to show up talking about "destiny."

Who are you, anyway? And why do you say no one will trust you?

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

[well, since he's already in the open here...] I am Marluxia, a well known traitor to the group that brought you here. Many have difficulty looking past my former employment.

[permavoice] Curse you, HTML. 8|

[her voice is shaky, but she's not quite as clueless as her clumsy wording might make it seem]

What is this?

[same]

[reaperofnaught]

One of many documents that came into my possession some time ago. I came across this one only recently.

[Voice]

[divine_storm]

"Nothingness will be the order of all"?

... he can't mean what I think he means, right?

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

I do not claim to know of his intentions. But considering how the document begins, he very well may.

[Locked][voice]

[oath_ofoblivion]

[Ooooooh does Roxas sound pissed.]

Marluxia, what did Xemnas do?

[permaboth]

[reaperofnaught]

Ah, so you have your memories back.

...If my assumptions are correct, this means Xemnas is in possession of Kingdom Hearts. And he has been for some time.

[Voice]

[sevenyearssavior]

So this is the reason we've been brought here?

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

It is not the reason I was aware of. From what I know, people were brought here to explore the heart--its behaviors and its reaction to darkness, light, and stress. This, I have little idea what to make of.

[keyofthesky]

What does that mean? What happened?

[reaperofnaught]

That I am unsure of. I can only guess.

[permavoice]

[trademark_skull]

How does someone just 'get' that sort of power? This is the kind of thing only a God should be able to do.

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

I suppose he may think of himself as a god now, and he may very well have the power of one.

[permavoice]

[vorpalrising]

I can't say I'll care if my own world unravels; it's done that before, already. Still, I don't like the sound of absolute nothingness.

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

As you shouldn't. Absolute nothingness is tantamount to absolute destruction.

[Voice]

[keybladedancer]

...the power of all worlds? You mean--?

What has he done...? What has Xehanort done?!

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

That is a question we would both like to see answered.

[voice, locked]

[sceadu_gemynd]

Kingdom Hearts? A preposterous claim, unless you mean to offer proof.

[permavoice, locked]

[reaperofnaught]

The proof is in Xemnas's own handwriting. If you would like more, allow me to quote from another.

"This particular world we have found... How has it survived from our efforts with Kingdom Hearts?"

I gave a copy to one of the keyblade wielders in the past, but if you desire photographic evidence, I would be happy to give it to you.

[Voice, and unusually bold at that]

[halfdarkened]

Let me guess. He finally got control of Kingdom Hearts while we've been stuck here, and doesn't even know how to use it without making a mess. Great.

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

It seems we share hypotheses on the matter.

[PermaVoice]

[kingdomkeyd]

So that what he's up to.

What does he hope to accomplish by doing this?

[Also PermaVoice]

[keybladedancer]

Mickey?!

[ permavoice & locked ]

[firagas]

You really are enjoying that target on your back, aren't you?

[ permavoice & locked ]

[reaperofnaught]

What target there may be is no longer any of my concern. Unless you believe this information changes nothing?

[Voice]

[chingdomkye]

[There's a low, not-so-pleasant chuckle. Hmm, this person hasn't shown themselves on the board before...]

That's an interesting tip. I'll be waiting up there when you get to the top.

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

What do you intend to gain by charging up there alone?

[voice]

[cowardly_hero]

... now what are you up to?

[permavoice]

[reaperofnaught]

I am "up to" nothing. I only share a piece of information that I have come across, unsettling but important.

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

[Bored.]

Yes, fascinating from a nihilistic standpoint.

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

An interesting reaction. I take it you are another who has no attachment to your world?
