I'm not sure if this'll work, but...I'll just speak out to anyone here that's listening. If you can hear me, please respond!

And if you can respond, please tell me who you are and what's the last thing you remember?

This is Kairi, and the last thing I remember was the seven of us were all fighting against Xehanort. We...weren't doing as well as we'd hoped, and the worlds were falling apart...then I remember a whole lot of darkness, and then I was here.

[ Well, from Roxas' standpoint, the hostility is entirely justified and some part of him can't quite understand why someone like Kairi would have such a pragmatic jerk for a friend. Of course, this may just be a matter that perhaps would be best remedied with good ol' fashioned talking later.

Either way, he's quiet as he listens to her words. Her side of the story was intriguing. Even he wouldn't have expected Kairi to take to the front lines. It kind of raised the question of if she even had a Keyblade to use in a fight.

'Maybe she's good with magic? Girls tend to be.'

Dismissing the train of questions without answers for now, he just nods... or inadvertently sends that sentiment of nodding in reply to the whole mess of everything. It still didn't explain how they got here and if everyone being here was another one of his former Superior's schemes.

'I think Xemnas and DiZ are the only people I can say I hate. Maybe they should give themselves a cookie or something for that.' ]

So that's what happened, huh? It's still just so weird that so many other people got pulled into this.

[She still catches a little of that, but definitely wants to talk about it later. Riku has a lot of his faults, but she wouldn't be friends with him if he truly wasn't worth it.]

[The part about being able to use a Keyblade gets back just a tad bit of ire. Hey, she could use one, and she'd been training hard! As much as she could before getting thrown up against Xehanort, anyway. She was fine with magic, but she preferred just hitting things with it, thank you!]

[And she really hoped that this wasn't another trick of Xehanort's. Because if it was, that meant Sora was still facing off against him.]

Yeah, it is really weird. I mean, I knew it was bad, but...if there's people here Sora's never even met, it seems like it went way beyond even what we were doing.

We just have to find out what happened between what we remember last and now.

[ The torrent of counter-sentiments and replies were strange. Well, most of them were. That defensive feeling when he got when he thought what a jerk Riku was made sense though. He did know enough about Sora, Riku and Kairi to know that were friends. Like him, Axel and... he caught himself wandering in thought a little.

When he was in the Organization, his only friend was Axel. So then why did it feel like he'd been part of a trio as well? It was strange and a thought that he was quick to dismiss from now. He was confused enough as it was without that.

Now the concept of Kairi with a Keyblade was a little weird. And while he was at the point of not questioning people that had such exotic weaponry, it did leave him wondering just how people got them then. The only reason he suspected he had his own was being Sora's Nobody... but then, that left him wondering why he'd still have it during that brief time that both he and Sora existed in the normal world.

Between all of this and Kairi's remarks, Roxas found himself now with more questions and not a single answer. This was getting frustrating. ]

I hope you have better luck with that than I did. I'm still trying to put some stuff back together from when DiZ messed with my memory. And that's on top of all these weird feelings I've been having.

Has anyone checked Sora's station?

[Strange didn't begin to cover it. Especially since Roxas seemed to have gone off on a tangent about something else he was trying to remember...being part of a trio. Did that have something to do with Xion? She mentioned Roxas...]

[Although Kairi had to admit, she wasn't entirely sure how she'd gotten hers, either. She just found she had the ability to use it when she needed to.]

We'll try and find out together. I was thinking...maybe we could try to link up to Sora's last memory. It may be able to answer some questions.

What other weird feelings? [She feels like anything may be important here.]

Yes. Riku and Lea and I found it. He's not there, though.

[ All other matters aside, the feedback regarding Sora's station was curious to say the least. Either Sora had wandered off, at which point someone should have run into him or for whatever reason, he wasn't here. Which was worrisome for a lot of reasons, many of which were not all that good. ]

How would you link up to his last memory?

[ He supposed it made sense in a way. If a person's thoughts were basically being broadcast around and he'd done the same with memories, then it was just a matter of... well, maybe it wasn't so clear-cut. In Roxas' experience, it still required a person to offer the memory for it to be shared. And if Sora wasn't around, then that wouldn't be do-able... would it? ]

I guess it's as good an idea as anything else I've heard. It's just the 'how' part thatI don't get.

[It was possible Sora had wandered off, but she definitely figured one of them would have run into him already, with how much they were thinking about him. She doesn't want to think the reasons for him not being there are bad, but can't help it at least a little...]

I'm not entire sure on the 'how' part, either...but a lot of us at least share some memories with Sora because we were fighting with him, right? So, maybe since this is his heart, we can jump from a memory we share with him to one that we don't, if they go from one to another anyway.

It's something we can try, at least. [She definitely hoped it wouldn't require Sora's presence with them to find his own memories.]

[ The whole of that got him to thinking. Going by what Kairi was thinking, it sounded like it might be possible for people to sort of check their memories against each other this way. Actually, since she put it that way, it made him wonder if Namine might be around somewhere. If they were dealing in the business of memories and trying to figure out stuff connected to those, certainly she'd have some way to help with that.

Another person on his checklist of people to find. ]

If you guys find anything, let me know.

[ And for all his annoyance at how everything turned out, there's one last thing he decides he should get off his chest. ]

And for what it's worth... sorry I didn't make it in time to be there with everyone else.

[That's got her wondering if Namine is around here, too. If anyone knows how best to deal with Sora's memories, she would.]

Of course.

It's all right. In a way, I'm kind of glad you didn't have to deal with that. [Seeing all your friends and then the world itself get overtaken by darkness isn't fun, and she doesn't want anyone to have to live or relive that.]
