Strangest thing just happened, while I was, you know, waiting for a sensible answer from Terra...

A Dusk appeared in my bedroom.
The wards are supposed to keep anyone out of Rainbow's End who intends harm on the inhabitants, right? Heartless and Nobodies in the building are a thing of the past, so I admit I was a little freaked out when one showed up.

It made no hostile move, though. Instead the thing held out a watch, and when I didn't take the "gift", it placed it on the floor by my feet. Then it just looked at me like it was waiting... which, by the way, is very creepy on a Dusk's face considering they don't have visible eyes.

Then I realized - this must be the same Dusk I was using as my bloodhound while Roxas was missing. Only that was almost a year ago...

I'm kinda thinking the watch isn't actually any sort of clue, but just the Dusk's way of saying sorry for being ten months late.
Sooo.... what should I do with Dusky now? I did technically make a deal with him... or it. Same offer I gave to Koios... whom I still haven't heard from since I got back.

I have a new theory about the techniques used in the past to find a Nobody's Heart. I'd like to test it, but a regular old Dusk is a really tough subject to start with.

There's a Dusk.

In the house.

Makes me want to take a picture for Eli's scrapbook.

I bet Dusky would hold Eli while you take the picture...
>3
But I doubt as a good mother you want to risk that.

Ooh, and while the Dusk is holding Eli and 'grinning' for the camera, Jalen can throw an arm around it and give it rabbit ears.

Ha ha, no.

Sounds like a brilliant plan to me.
I'd want a copy to put next to my framed photo of Xemnas and Xigbar at Disney World.

Can you even be sure it's the same one?

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

Can you think of another reason why a random Dusk would deliver seemingly mundane objects to me? I am always open to alternative ideas.

[creepy-son-of-a.livejournal.com]

It could be sent by someone trying to confuse you.

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

My scientific beliefs will not allow me to dismiss that as a possibility...
but really, ten months after the last time I saw Dusky? And to what purpose, do you think? The Dusk can't be here to hurt anyone physically. I suppose it could bring back false clues if I send it out, but I wasn't even thinking about that. I was planning to start looking for a way to de-Duskify it. Define how that could be dangerous under your proposed circumstances?

[creepy-son-of-a.livejournal.com]

I didn't say it was dangerous.

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

Oh, but you did. Confusion is extremely dangerous.

[creepy-son-of-a.livejournal.com]

...Just don't get overconfident.

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

You know me, Seph~

[creepy-son-of-a.livejournal.com]

That's why I worry.
