(text) the second seashell

[oblivionize]

Today makes day 365. I've been in Asgard for 15 days. It's hard to believe it's been a whole year now.

I know there are people who are unhappy to be here. I don't think anyone should be forced to be in a place they don't want to be, but for now we have a duty... And I'm happy to be here, too. Even if it's selfish.

I do have a question--

What would you do if you are given more time than you expect? For whatever you might wish to do, I mean. Before I came here everything I did was missions... There's so much free time here and I can't possibly train all of the time.

Would anyone like to train together sometime?

[Xion's actually relieved to see someone she's spoken to before. So when Kanaya answers she shakes her head and gives a small smile.]

That's okay. I didn't expect many people to be able to answer. I was just curious, that's all.

You've got it right. It'd be nice to be able to spar with someone for fun and practice.

[Kanaya offers a look of empathy in return. She wishes she knew the answer to Xion's question, if only because not knowing is mildly disquieting in a way.]

If my death had been more set in stone, I would have given you an answer. However, where I come from there are ways for one to preserve themselves past death, in a way.

May I ask what is it you wish to spar with?

Really? How does something like that work?

Oh, I have my Keyblade! It appeared after all the eggs were around.

Where I am from, we played a game. If our initial self died, we could become out dreamselves. If they died, we would pass into dreambubbles in the Furthest Ring.

What is a Keyblade?

[She blinks and looks confused.] But wouldn't that mean you still died?

Oh...! [She takes a moment to move off screen and grab the giant key-sword and wave it around.] This is a Keyblade.

Yes, but the person you were could continue existing beyond that, including individuals outside of the alpha timeline.

It is all somewhat complex, and mildly irritating.

[Kanaya raises an eyebrow and then shrugs to herself. Feferi used to carry around a trident that was spliced with brains. Giant keys are normal in comparison.

In turn, she holds up a white and black tube of lipstick.]

This is my own. It unfolds.

[Pop!]

Into a chainsaw.

<small[She just looks mildly confused before shaking her head, managing a small smile.]</small> I can see why. I don't understand it at all.

Oh! That's really neat.
