Love the new cold weather. Really.

Can't believe I'm missing that place right now.
I bet you're happy on your island, huh, Sora? Stay there ~~and stay safe~~. Last thing we need is you here to get hurt.

[Private to Xemnas | Unhackable]
Looks like you were right. Zexion's lost his toy. How did you know?

You know, I hear Vexen could use a new assistant.

Sarcasm, Axel. If he really needs an assistant, he could use you to melt some of the ice around that lab of his, I bet.

Besides, I don't think being in the Castle is a good idea.

You really want me to end up as a Shadow again, don't you? You'd have to carry me around so it would be a punishment for both of us.

Most likely it isn't. There is our old home out in the city if you want to use that. I can't remember if I told you about it or not.

I bet you were adorable, you and your big shadow feet. All the girls must have loved you. Didn't Zexion take care of you?

No, you didn't.

He was super cute. Adorable! I wish I could have taken photos.

I figured he would be, if he wasn't trying to take people's hearts.

Oh, he wasn't. He was mostly just clumsy and adorable and you know what the best part was?

He couldn't talk.

Man, he must have hated it.

Oh! He did. I think that made it even more cute.

Would he really?

You should. With all your nonexistent heart.

I don't. It's freezing outside. I want it to be summer again or...something.

That's not happening.

Looks like I'm getting a coat, then.

You have the Organization robes. The only suitable attire for a Nobody like you.

You're behind the times. I don't have a coat anymore here. I didn't arrive with it.

Just when I thought you had returned to where you truly belong.

~~I think... I think VI's old robes are somewhere in the attic.~~

Why would I join back? Why would I want to?

In due time, you will see.

Zexion tried to have me skewered. You're sneaking around in a lab. Xemnas is being...Xemnas. Axel is the only one I'd join back for, and he hasn't pushed the issue.

Why do you want me back, Vexen?

Someone needs to capture Heartless. Also... looks like you have lots of friends. Imagine one of them was to become a test subject. If you were part of the Organization, we could make certain concessions. Don't you think?

The Superior has been absent. No one has seen him around... in the past week.

Wouldn't you just kill the Heartless? Don't tell me you guys are collecting more hearts. Kingdom Hearts is not going to appear again.

...I guess so.

He's been missing? Maybe he's gone home. That leaves you missing an ally, as far as I can see. Axel would be in charge. Or Zexion.

No, not Kingdom Hearts. We are aware there are not enough hearts in this post apocalyptic wasteland to create it.
Let us say we are giving the Heartless a different use.

He is inside the castle, in his own chamber. But one wouldn't dare to knock on that door. Would you?

If he was to disappear,I'd be the righteous leader. I'm Number IV, clearly.

Experimentation, you mean...unless you're using them to run something, which I doubt. Heartless can't be controlled for long.

Oh, so he's still here. Of course I'd knock if I needed to talk to him. He can't stay holed up forever.

In rank, yes. But who would listen to you? Zexion and Axel won't.

You'd dare to do that!?! He's the Superior!

That's confidential information. We had one, now we need another.

~~I am a Senior member! The most senior of them all!~~

You've mistaken me for someone who cares. He's no Superior now, and even if he was, I'm not part of the Organization. I don't care about his rank. If I need to speak with him, I'll speak with him. I have a key; he can't lock me out.

Fine, I'll get one for you if that'll keep your nose out of my and Axel's businesses.

Very well... Just let me know when you have captured it.

I'll have it within the day. When you hear the doors unlocking to the Castle, that'll be me.

...

Is it my imagination, or you are attempting to sound ominous?

That's your imagination. If I wanted to sound ominous, I'd tell you I was going to knock on Xemnas' door and tell him that it's your fault I'm there.

YOU WOULD NOT DARE

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS!!

Relax. Relax, Vexen, I was kidding!

I'll be there within the hour, no blaming. Okay?

Good.

It is quite cold. Far too cold. If you are in need of a coat, however, Zelda has taken some from Hyrule, and we found some other above the plate. We should be able to find one for you.

I'll remember that, thanks. You have something warm, right?

Yes. It fits a bit too snugly, but it is warm enough. I assure you, I am spending most of my time rather close to the fire. No need to worry.

Glad to hear it.

You're the one on the rooftops, aren't you?

They are a favorite haunt of mine, yes.

I've heard you up there, sometimes. How is it?

Truly? I hope I was not disruptive.

But the rooftops are...there is a comfort to them, even ones so broken as these. There is a peace in the air moving along them, and in your hair. And there is a warmth that does not quite banish cold in the strain of leaping and pulling yourself up. At times I feel just a tiny bit closer to home.

Oh, no, not disruptive. I could just hear you a little, and was wondering who it was.

That sounds...wow, breathtaking. Maybe I'll give it a try one day, climbing up there.

It is well worth the effort, and if you would like help, or company, I would be more than happy to.

Sounds like a plan. I've gotta go do something first, but maybe after...?

Of course. Just let me know when you are free.

Will do.
