Worked? Huh... I get the feelin' there's somethin' I'm missin', here.

[adarkenedoath.livejournal.com]

There is. When you knew that Xehanort, did he ever show any signs of even having a heart then?

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Any signs of...

... I never met him for long. But he acted pretty strange, and seemed like he had emotions of some kind. He was surprised when Ansem told him to stop doin' the experiments, but... I can't remember much of him beyond that. He seemed pretty calm and composed.

... That's the last thing I really remember before this place. I couldn't fully remove his heart from my body, so with Aqua's help, I tried something else.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

… You… did somethin’ to his memory, didn’t ya?

[adarkenedoath.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

I see... gosh. That's... that's powerful stuff ya must've did...

But it explains a lot. Why he was tryin' to find Ven again, in Castle Oblivion. Why he didn't recognize me... probably why it took him so long to get started as well.

[adarkenedoath.livejournal.com]

... I was hoping that it wouldn't let him get started at all.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... He must have already made allies. The apprentices that became the first six Nobodies were people who served under him at Radiant Garden. They must have helped him get his plans back on track, when he returned.

I heard about that from Riku. It was probably... I think Riku said he was 'Xigbar'.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... Xigbar. Braig's Nobody, guy with an eyepatch who could teleport and use some kinda gun-weapon. You know him?

[adarkenedoath.livejournal.com]

I'm the reason he has an eyepatch.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Ya mean ya already met him?

[adarkenedoath.livejournal.com]

He had taken Master Xehanort hostage.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... I'm guessin' that was just a set-up?

[adarkenedoath.livejournal.com]

[Pauses, as if this is just now occurring to him.]

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... I mean... that guy has probably been cooperatin' with Xehanort for a really long time, so I don't think he'd actually manage to kidnap him even if he tried...
