Can't keep a good muse down, used to be a_facility

Stop it, okay? Just stop. You can't keep doing stuff like this, mun. It's just not fair. [Sulking? Yep.]

Sure it's fun to imagine what it would be like if you sent me back there or sent me somewhere else with all my memories of that place but can we not? I like it better out here where I can see all of my friends anytime I want without the added bit about the torture. And I would like to be there for all the people still stuck on that darn ship but now's just not the time for that.

That other idea you have isn't going to be any better either. Not only would I be trading one torture boat for another but there isn't anyone there. No one I'd recognize anyway.

[Crosses his arms over his chest.]

So how about you leave me alone and just let me stick around here for a while so I can talk to people?

[Biffle! Allen sure is happy to see you.]

Hey Sora. It's been a while. You're looking well.

[And he's glad to see it.]

[Allen! He's not the only one.]

Hiya! It's a miracle what sunlight and some good meal will do for a guy.

[Peers closely at Allen.]

How have you been doing?

I'm alright.

[Or as alright as he ever is. Though he can't say even that for the state of the rest of the station. There have been far too many terminations lately.] Those of us left are hanging on.

[Rubbing a hand across the back of his neck a bit awkwardly.]

So what is it that your mun was planning for you? It can't be much worse than sending you back to us.

Yeah, I heard about all of them.

[Which would be hard to deal with for some people.]

Apparently she's been considering sending me to this place where a lot of weeks are like the trap week. It's another torture place, on the ocean though. And I'd be there all by myself.

That makes what Val does not sound so bad. Facing it alone does sound worse in some ways too. Even if you wouldn't have to worry about anyone. Although, knowing the way you are, you'd probably be friends with everyone on that ship in a few days.

Yeah, exactly. The Facility is kind of a cakewalk compared to this place at times. It'd just be weird. Going somewhere where I won't know many people. [Shrugs before locking his hands behind his head.] I dunno about the making friends part. People are kinda a bit rough around the edges there.

That bad huh...There must be some way you can convince your mun not to do that to you.

Maybe she'll get discouraged or something while trying to put together the pieces of my life.

I really hope she does...Though, if anyone is going to make it I'm sure you can. Don't lose hope already.

[Gives Allen a light push and a small smile.] Hey, are you trying to encourage her?

Of course not.

[Little smile back.]

I just don't want you to get discouraged so soon. You're not even there yet. You may get lucky and change her mind.

[Little bit of a pause while he scratches at the back of his head and then moves his hand to his chin.]

You wouldn't happen to have any information on her that you could hold over her head would you?

I'm kinda hoping to discourage her if anything. Maybe I'd stay safe that way.

[Generally if Sora disapproves his mun wants it so...better to go somewhere they both want to. Hmm, he has to think about that for a minute.]

I don't think so. She might have more information to hold over my head.

Maybe this time she can send you somewhere nice. It'd be a change.

[Allen sighs and drops his hand.]

After all of the experiments you've been through you're probably right.

Somewhere with real sunlight. Which I hear you guys are gonna get soon.

[Pats his shoulder.]

Yours probably has more than mine does.

That will definitely be an improvement for both of us. If you're lucky you'll get sent somewhere with good food too.

[That comment just causes Allen to grimace sourly.]

Not that much more if any. Don't get her started though. She likes to tease that she knows things about me even I don't.

I want to lay out in it for hours. Good food would be nice too.

[A small laugh.]

You shouldn't be so easy to tease, Allen.

Don't burn just because you can.

[Crossing his arms now.]

It's not that easy. [Only yes it is.]

You're the one that's gonna burn.

[Pokes his cheek.]

[Oh reaaally. Beware the mischievous smile, biffle.] How's your girlfriend?

Even someone from a sunny island can burn.

[He swats at Sora's finger. Yeah he's still pink and peeling from a couple weeks ago. The scowl on his face is quickly replaces by shock and he turns a couple shades darker red.]

M-my...Who told you about that?!

Yeah but I know when to go inside.

[There's no stopping the laugh from his reactions.]

I share a headspace with her, dummy.

[... something about what he's talking about is familiar. Could he be...?

... at the same time it's still a Sora she's talking to and those always make her nervous. ~~Yes even hers~~]

Maybe there's somewhere you can go that's... not as bad?

[Ah! It's Xion! Seeing her makes him feel really bad. So guilty for leaving her beh-

Wait. She's not the Xion he knows. ~~That knowledge doesn't ease the guilt any.~~ He scratches the back of his head nervously.]

Maybe. My mun wouldn't even know where else she could send me while letting me keep all my memories though.

[Xion makes a quiet, thoughtful noise]

There's... there should be somewhere out there, right? There's so many different places, they can't... all be bad.

[Hinoto-Ri isn't most of the time, though the Visitor tensions are making things a bit awkward.]

[His hand moves to his head as he goes thoughtful.]

Probably but my mun wouldn't really know where to start. I mean, I was stuck in that other place for three and half years. That's a lot of history to summarize.

[If he was going to go anywhere, he'd like it to be where his friends are.]

[Her breath catches a little. Three and a half years? Especially... especially if her hunch is right. It makes her blood burn a little, to think of others hurting people - hurting her friends like that.]

Yeah... that sounds like a really long time to be in an awful place like that. But... it'd be better to not go somewhere like that again, wouldn't it?

[Something like that. It gets hard to keep track of how much time it was when he kept bouncing around. All he knows is that it feels like he was there forever.

But..oh! No. Don't be upset because of him, Xion.]

It wasn't all bad. I got to meet a bunch of people I never would have. Some of the experiments weren't all that terrible either.

[You would see it like that, wouldn't you Sora? Then again, her younger self at Animus is very much the same]

That's... that's true, I guess.

[Still... she doesn't like the idea of him going back to somewhere similar. And then, quietly...]

Facility?

[He desperately tries to. Some days it's harder than others. Today is one of the better days when Sora can give her a genuine smile.]

The friends you made are the real reason to even think about going back.

[Oh, that smile fades a little bit. Just a little.]

That's the place.

Definitely.

[That at least, she can understand. And... ah. She looks away awkwardly.]

Kairi told us a little about it. Not... everything but. [She shakes her head.] She's here. Where I am, I mean. Namine too. And some others... Shiki, I think?

[She still hasn't met the TWEWY cast properly yet, only just met Shiki on the network]

[Hearing their names makes his heart hurt. Kairi. She'd been gone for so long. Nami even less but it didn't make it any easier because people didn't really just leave the Facility. He watched their bodies burn, scattered their ashes, kept their things, lived in an empty feeling house.

Still he smiles. Smiles through the pain because that's what he's learned to do. Though part of him is a little glad.]

Good. It's good they got out into someplace better. All of them. They deserve it.

[DON'T COME TO THE TOWER DON'T COME TO THE TOWER IT IS EVEN WORSE IN THERE THAN THE FACILITY

cannot stress this enough but we will try in brackets--

DON'T COME TO THE TOWER.]

[WOAH!! Where'd Mera come from?

The appearance is so surprising that he can't stop himself from:] Mera? You just...!

[Came out of no where!! LIKE MAGIC! Okay, not really but still.

And then suddenly his eyes widen because WHOOPS! This might not be Mera.

Stupid. Stupid. He should know better by now, should know that just because he sees familiar faces again that they might not be the one he knows. Knew. Fix it, Sora.

So he laughs. Nervously.] I mean, hiya there.

[NAILED IT.]

[he follows xions around okay the one in the tower got basically mauled by events.

but because his mundane is nice, he guesses he can talk with his otherself and finding out what happened.]

So this is the you the other me in her head keeps talking about.

[It's hilarious because he hasn't met either one of the yours in the tower...heh...heh...

Silently amused, either way.]

Nice try, Sora.

[At least this isn't the Dark World where he could literally appear from out of nowhere.]

[Well, okay. He can understand that. Sora might too if his mun let him.

No! Don't do that! Mera will talk about The Epic Shoe-Book Battles and all other kinds of horribly embarrassing stuff.]

Does he? Nothing bad, I hope.

[Can't avoid them forever, Repliku. One of them is bound to get attached to you.

Another laugh as he ruffles the back of his hair.]

Sorry. I'm usually better at stuff like this.

[Guess it sort of spills out if he gets suddenly ambushed.]

[ffft. Too late~ They laughed over it together.]

Other than being turned into a girl a couple times? Not reeeaaally.

[It's funny because it ain't him hiding in the shadows that caused it. XD]

Tch. Like I can hold it against you. [He messed up a lot more back home as it is. ...Not like Sora'd remember considering how old he looks, though.]

[Greeeeeaaaat. Meeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrraaaaa! Why'd you have to go and tell him about that?]

Uh, three times. Mera wasn't there for the first time.

[Thank the Light considering that's really when Sora freaked out about being a girl.]

Thanks, for that. [Let's all just be glad he didn't confuse Repliku with Riku.] So...do you have a name like Mera does?

[NOPE. SIS KEEPS TELLING HIM HE NEEDS TO GET ONE. HE HASN'T LISTENED YET]

[HE WILL PICK ONE WHEN HE WANTS TO, DAMMIT SIS. D:]

[SHE DOESN'T WANT TO CALL YOU RIKU BUT YOU'RE NOT GIVING HER A LOT OF OPTIONS. "HEY YOU" JUST ISN'T HER STYLE]
