Yay, more symbolism [locked to allies]

"Open the door without a sound,
unleash that within, to your heart bound."

Where there were once many voices, there is now one. It spoke to me in my dream last night, hence the short quote above. Why do they always tend to speak in rhyme? Never mind. I do not know the exact meaning of it, but I'm genre savvy enough to know what it might imply.

Fuck.

I've been meaning to ask, what exactly happened to you back there in Agrabah?
Because I remember words not so different from those.

[sharagran.livejournal.com]

When Agrabah fell, I apparently got sucked into the Darkness itself, where I managed to survive on my own. And while according to you guys I've only been gone for a few days, to me it was more like a few years, which would explain my aged appearance (barely recognized myself when I looked in the mirror).

Regardless, I think this little expedition left some lasting effects on my body and mind. Something seems to have followed me home, and it's beginning to freak me out.

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

Then forgive me if I freak you out a little more, but have your voices ever given you this little speech?

Who are we?
We are the question. We are the answer. We are everyone and we are no-one. We are the whispers, the what-ifs that creep in at the witching hour... ‘What if I die? What if I fail? What if I’d taken another road?’
‘What if everything I know, is a lie?’
We are the secret, we are power, we are the granters of wishes. We are the monsters under the bed. We are your mother, father, sister, brother, we are your friends. We are the king and the peasant, the warrior and the wizard. We are the shadows between the stars...
And we are you.
And now allow us a question: What do you want? What do you really want? Ask, and we will provide it. Fame? Power? Fortune? Glory? Love? All of these and more… anything you want."

Holy shit, now you mention it, I do remember something similar! There was one incredibly deep voice that kept chanting some sort of poem through the whispers of the others. I couldn't quite make out what it was saying at first, but that transcript fits its speech pattern perfectly!

(OoC: I have no idea where this is going, so I'll just play along and leave the plot stuff to you :P)

Yeah, that would be Heartless recruitment bullshit. They're creepy like that, as you may have noticed.

So you're running on a lot of Darkness right now, I'd assume. You generally wouldn't hear that one otherwise.
If we can't fix you up immediately, maybe we can make use of this...

'Use'? I'm not going to like this, am I?

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

If you don't like it, you don't have to do it. I'm just thinking that you might be able to learn the same sort of abilities that Riku did. Portals and Dark magic. We'd have to get some kind of armor if you started using the Corridors, of course. They'd just make things worse and worse otherwise, but they're extremely handy, if you don't mind being a taxi and an errand boy. You'd probably make a more coherent spy than my Dusk...

Hmph, doesn't sound that bad at all. I'm not going to wear those ridiculous robes though (no offence to anyone who's wearing them at the moment), I'd prefer something more combat practical, and less zippery. I read something about a 'Star Market' a few years weeks ago, perhaps one of the vendors there could have what I need?

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

Hey, I liked my robe.
The Star Market has just about everything, but it only comes around here once a year. I bet a wizard could set you up with something. I don't know where Mickey got his, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Yen Sid helped.

Let me guess, it's still a few months away?

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

It's in August, but a lot can happen in a couple months.

[sharagran.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't have expected anything else...

Aaaanyway, better get that training under way then. I wonder where the hell Riku is though, I've been trying to get a hold of him for several days now, without success.

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Sora knows where Riku is.
