1st Card ♛ Anon Text

There must be an error in the creation of this paradox: the necessary means to continue progress has been cut off and displacement has caused distortion in functionality. Prior posts to this network indicate several anomalies that aren't consistent with actual time-space from current point.

Anomalies include documented existence of: Aqua, Kairi, Naminé, Riku, Roxas, Sora, Terra, Vanitas, Ventus.

[Yes, a certain illusion has been creepering on the network, but that's the program side of him taking notes. He's not sure where their exact locations are, if they're still within the paradox at all, or even who all of them really are but he's been tracing connections through feeds since his arrival. He knows he has to do more research, but if others wanted to make their appearance and feed him the info, so be it. As for his real opinion:] As long as everything will be reset to a certain point, this should be interesting to observe.

But, how many of you believe in the so-called truths of this world? A war, the lack of color, the lack of life...How much will you bet restoring those qualities will truly fix everything and be your ticket home?

[Naminé spends a lot of time keeping track of the network. It's just for the best - she's used to knowing, to having enough information to be able to handle things, and now that she's been cut off from her usual source, well... the network is the next best thing. It doesn't take her long at all to discover this particular post, and those names instantly have her on edge. There's something decidedly familiar about this, but she doesn't have time to give it much thought; those names, all together like that, could be a dangerous thing to share, considering the less-than-benign presence of one of the owners of those names, and as soon as she can, she's texting back.]

Who are you?

[Hello Mother~

Ah, just the person he's been so keen to wait for. Maybe it was intriguing to see that the supposed originals had made their appearance, but Naminé was on a whole different level. Who wouldn't want to meet their creator, after all?]

Nobody, but you know how that runs.

You should know your illusions the best.

[...Of course, he's going to be vague as hell. He was really only bits of data, anyways. At least he gives her the benefit of turning off the anonymous option, but the fact that his name still appears as ??? doesn't help matters too much.]

[-- Son?!]

[??? isn't much help, no. The names on the network are supposed to be accurate... so if it's not, how did this person slip by? Unless--]

[The answer, at first, sets her more on edge. The things they make reference to are things she's spent her time in Asgard keeping quiet about. Only... they also give her the answer to her original question. If he's telling the truth, there's only one person it could be - but how? Is he even capable of existing outside of the journal? ... Perhaps the gods really are that powerful, or perhaps her creation truly is more than what he was created to be. Still... better safe than sorry.]

Can you prove it?

I doubt war ever fixes anything, really.

If you're simply an onlooker with little knowledge of what's happening within this world, that's no surprise.

You think it's different here?

... an anomaly? What do you mean that those people are anomalies?

[... And that's almost everyone in their world. What the hell is going on.]

[Because dragging out the real people he wants to contact through fear is the way he rolls.

And hello, Ventus. You're one of the biggest anomalies of them all.]

People who don't belong here, but more so than the other users. It shouldn't be possible.

[Anon Text - Filtered]

[wingblades]

And why shouldn't they belong? They're here right now, aren't they? Who are you to judge on who should be here and shouldn't?

[He's a might bit defensive. These terms trollxas is using is not the best way to describe him and his fellow world companions. Who is this kook?]

[faints]

Who...are you?? Is this some sort of joke to you? [ Because after Sora's post, speaking to Namine, meeting Ventus Roxas is just.....sdjfghsdjkg he doesn't even know. ]

[Anon Text - Filtered]

[key_illusion]

[Oh, this is priceless.

An illusion meeting the original. Just what he wanted.]

Nobody's playing jokes around here.

[...However, considering the post that he found and the one before that, this is not the true source of his own data. It's troubling, but it's something he'll have to keep into consideration.]

[audio - filtered]

[faints]

Then why are you calling us...anomalies?? How do you know about me?

[Anon text meet more anon text. Anomalies, in his mind, isn't a very positive term, and while Vanitas can go screw himself, he's not going to let the others get hurt.]

What do you plan to do with such anomalies in existence here?

[Anon Text - Filtered]

[key_illusion]

Wait and watch. What else could I do?

[Playing vague comes easy, and even though he has all the time and patience for this paradox, he simply...does not care for anonymous text in return. He likes the upper-hand.]

[Anon Text - Filtered]

[darkbreak]

Participate. Get rid of them. If they don't belong, then they shouldn't be allowed to be here, right? Anomalies should be erased.

Unless, for some reason, they're important to you.

[trinitylimit]

I'm not an anomaly. I don't even know what an anomaly is.

[If this weren't text, he might've chuckled.]

You're only an anomaly under certain conditions, but I guess you've already heard from others.

This is the second time you've been here, correct?

[deputychief]

Given that there are distortions and anomalies in time-space, as you point out, it seems likely that any explanation is better than none, including the rather provisional one offered by the 'gods' of this place. Other explanations do present themselves to me, of course, but they depend on a rather solipsistic, or at least, egocentric perspective -- in terms of my world -- that the nature of this place seems to undermine.

What about yourself?

[key_illusion]

My input is irrelevant.

[Sorry, Itsuki, while he'd love to go on about paradoxes and illusions, he's seeking info on this particular one and the other users connected to it. He is interested in those so-called "other explanations", but because nothing specific has been presented, he doesn't feel the need to give anything in return. He's already put enough out there as is just to draw in information quickly to some degree of risk.]

... and just who are you supposed to be?

[ She's more curious than anything. She can see Ven and Sora's responses, and wonders at the seeming lack of response from the others.

After all the strange things she's been learning lately, she really isn't too surprised by something like this. What she really wants to know is who, and why. ]

Well, someone else's trying to play antagonist? They're awfully big shoes to fill, but congrats on scaring a few of the mice out of hiding.

[Why hello there, Vanitas. You're just as interesting as Ventus.]

Funny how it brought you out too.

[while he hasn't gotten to that point in his canon yet, this all feels very off, yet... familiar to Hope. he knows quite a few of those names, and there's no way he can ignore this.]

Time works differently here. People can come from any point in time, from the past or the future.

[He's seen your name connected to his people of interest, so you get a filter as well, Hope.]

I've worked that much out, thanks.

But how does it feel to be forgotten?
