oh god, what am I doing [homeless forever]

[keyternal]

Mundane,

How long has it been since our last encounter? I see that little has changed. Your heart continues to lead you down a path of uncertainty. You ask, can you truly play me? Your last experience with writing me was within the scenes of a story. A story, I must add, that centers not around me, but Riku.

Yet you believe that by bringing me here, you will be able to capture my essence. Whether or not you succeed, I suppose it will be intriguing nonetheless...

Particularly given how I deviate from my so-called 'canon' counterpart. In light of recent developments, I suppose I see the merit in this little 'test'.

However, bear and mind that, though he has little influence over my actions, much can change over a decade. By circumstances outside the realm of one's control, it is easy to twist a heart. And once that has been done, there is no turning back.

And once that heart is lost, the scars still remain.

- Number I. Xemnas

Muns will believe the most ridiculous things, though watching their antics does provide some measure of compensation for the drudgery they inflict.

I can't say that I'm shocked to see one such as yourself appear here, though. [It was only a matter of time.

Much to his displeasure but they have admitted to being an AU sooo...]

[keyternal]

Truly? I've been informed that my presence is... lacking, more often than not.

[self_replication]

While that is true, it stands to reason an iteration of you< would eventually show up.

Though I must thank you for declaring yourself a non-'canon'.

[keyternal]

It is a crucial distinction. After all, there is a key difference between myself and my canon iteration.

Of course, I care not to elaborate. For the time being, it is inconsequential.

[self_replication]

[Most petulant glare ever.] ... Nothing is inconsequential, but very well.

[He wants to poke and prod but...1) A Xemnas and 2) Vexen is t a time from his AU where he's actively thought of as a traitor and yea..

All that jazz that comes with it. Fun times only not.]
