firstnothing[Audio only. The voice is a rather pleasant baritone.]
Good evening, denizens of this new world, human and pokemon alike. I am Xemnas. Perhaps there will be a few of you who recognize such a name.
[His pleasant tone never wavers; there's almost no emotional inflection at all.] This is a world I know little of. I have studied the information I have been able to find, and this little foal has been very dutiful in attempting to aid me in that search. [At this, there is a small, cheerful-sounding "Blitz!" in the background.]
If one could supply further information, or where to find it, I would be ... grateful. But tell me, countless unknown strangers, is it truly so that the humans of this world avoid combat in favor of asking their pokemon to do it for them? My small friend here seems incapable of fighting anything much tougher than a tumbleweed- [A protesting whinny this time.] -and yet I am to rely on it for my defense against all this strange world might strike with?
[It's thoughtfully said, as if this 'Xemnas' has no investment in the question or possible answers.]
[OOC: yeah I stole the sample post off my app. ;_; guilty.]

And no, nobody really knows what brings us here. They just show up out of the blue with no rhyme or reason. There isn't even any set trend to who pops up.
[audio]
Date: 2013-07-23 04:21 am (UTC)I have noticed the background music. It changes from location to location. Presumably there is no way to shut it off outright.
[And yet in spite of almost-asking if it's possible, it didn't really seem high on his to-do list. Irritating? Yes. Tolerable: Also yes.]
It's unfortunate that it is an unknown method. Leaving is likewise unknown, I assume. Few speak of being able to leave as something they can control, from what I have heard. One must... make the best of it.

Date: 2013-07-23 05:33 pm (UTC)[It's kinda silly. He wishes the music stations had more variety to them, but alas.]
Leaving's pretty much impossible, though. You can wait around and maybe you'll slip free, but it's just as random as whether or not you'll show up in the first place.
[audio]
Date: 2013-07-23 06:35 pm (UTC)[Leaving being an impossibility.. somehow not surprising. Xemnas wasn't sure he'd want to leave just yet regardless. After all, he should be dead. Or he should be Xehanort, if he's dead and so is his Heartless. And yet here he was, without the necessity of toying with timelines..
A thing to consider later. Escape might not be ideal, for the time being.]
Hm. I won't make plans for it, then. The whims of the worlds are not so easily controlled by mere mortals, after all. I suppose it's time I try to recall how to live as a human being once more. Your assistance ... especially the stupidity of this world's laws on weaponry ... has been invaluable.
[audio]
Date: 2013-07-23 09:42 pm (UTC)[That's interesting. Very, very interesting...]
And no sweat about the help; I've been here for years, so I know my way around.

Date: 2013-07-23 10:51 pm (UTC)No.
[Better a Nobody than a Heartless.]
Mm. Nevertheless, it is all very useful things to know. Much of which may have led to difficulty otherwise.
Audio
Date: 2013-07-27 04:10 am (UTC)[He understands the usefulness, of course. After all, Riku didn't have the luxury of guidance when he first arrived.]
Audio
Date: 2013-07-27 09:43 pm (UTC)I was nothing. Before that I was something, and now I am again, but between here and there was nothingness.
[An answer that is both completely, utterly correct and also a blatant lie. It probably won't be helpful.]
I would explain further and in detail, but I'm afraid you might not understand all of it.
Audio
Date: 2013-07-29 07:00 pm (UTC)[If so, Xemnas has a point. He probably wouldn't understand.]
Audio
Date: 2013-07-30 04:19 am (UTC)[Nobodies lived very odd 'existences'. Explaining them to someone who seemed to have no grasp at all of what's coming is a bit difficult, especially as Xemnas doesn't know how much background Riku actually has.. or if he has amnesia, or if this is Vexen's replica, or what.]
In either case, it's irrelevant now. I am not as I was, and intend to not return to such a state again. There is something terribly addictive to humanity that I can't quite put a finger on.
[He sounds a touch amused at the idea, though.]
