I guess I still need help renovating Chez Nobody. It looks like it used to be five stories. If we could rebuild it, we'd have another secure home for people in case of an attack. I haven't seen any rats around, thankfully, and the drawings are gone. Still can't help but think something's still coming our way.

...You know, maybe we should think about that Council idea, again. It might help the city to have a more open way of helping everyone here, and everyone will be heard at some point. Couldn't hurt, could it?

Sora, are you out there? You've been quiet.


[Private to Henry and Eileen | Unhackable]

Tell me anything you can about Walter and the Sacraments, please. I need to know.


[Private to Axel | Unhackable]

Up for some killing?


[Private to Lucifer | Unhackable]

Let's have that talk now.


[Private to Self | Unhackable]

The Heartless are getting stronger and nastier by the day. It's like those dreams just made them more powerful overnight. If there's too many of them, they'll enter the city. Riku, Sora and Kairi have been quiet. Maybe...Maybe they went home. If they did, I'd be grateful. They don't deserve to be here.

Riqis has been with Naminé a lot recently. Hm. I guess...that's just how it is.

Physically? Yes. As for the rest, that would depend on your definition of the term "okay".

How are you doing? When last we spoke, you were plagued by disembodied voices.

I figured. I dealt with Hehsebamon, but... What is he, anyway?

Feeling better, now that he's out of my head.

I intend to deal with him as well.

I'm not entirely certain. Not human. At least, not completely, if he is at all. What concerns me is his sword, though I'm told that it was destroyed when I died.

Did you learn anything from him while he was there?

Good.

No, I didn't really. He showed me images of things I can't fully remember, nor do I want to.

I would be slow to believe too easily anything he said. Or anything you might have seen in his mind, for that matter. Still... No information is completely useless.

I don't want to think about anything he said.

Wherever is most convenient for you. I'm flexible.

I will be there.

[Figuring he'll have flown there, Roxas takes a Dark Corridor, appearing by the beach. The Lobstrocities scatter and he shrugs, looking around for Lucifer.]

[Lucifer is sitting on one of the higher rocks, looking out over the water. When the Dark Corridor opens, he looks over and lifts a hand.]

Roxas. Over here.

[He spots the angel and heads over to where he is, climbing the rocks to his side. He pauses, looking around.]

...Nice view.

[Lucifer shifts slightly to make room. Then he nods.]

I come here often. It's rather conducive to introspection. And moping, truth be told.

[He sits, nodding for the favor.]

Everyone needs to get away sometime. With more and more people coming in...there's fewer places to go.

There were many things about the other city that did not sit easily with me, but one of the few things that did was the relatively small number of people. There are times, already, when I feel a bit claustrophobic.

[He glances at Roxas.]

How do you manage it?

How many people were in the other city?

[He looks surprised.]

I don't hang around that many people. Two, usually. I just know a lot of people from on the communicators.

The number fluctuated, though it never managed to rise much higher than forty.

[Lucifer nods. Keeping to a small group of people is something he understands all too well.]

With a few notable exceptions, I tend to keep to those who share the house with me. And even of that number, there are some I try to avoid.

That's so tiny in comparison to here.

You seem close to them. I haven't met most of them, though. What're they like?

It's taken some adjustment.

Not to many of them. Mostly to John, who I believe you know. And Willow, who we met there. She reminds me of my niece. [He smiles briefly.] Kind, generous, and far stronger than one might expect. Ah, and Mazikeen, of course, though she avoids social engagements even more than I.

The Magician is the facet of John from my world. If you want an unbiased opinion about him, I'm afraid you'll need to ask someone else. I'm far from impartial. I don't know Owen very well. He tends to avoid me. I think I pose too much of a difficulty for him, proof of a system in which he refuses to believe. He seems to take some measure of comfort in referring to me as an alien, and I can't quite find it in me to correct him.

Save for the Magician, I've no complaints.

I know Mazikeen, I think. At least, I've spoken to her.

[The others sound nice. He nods so he knows he's listening.]

But they're not people you'd always spend time with, not like John. [A pause.] So what happened to Michael out there?

[He looks to the ocean now, and when he speaks, his voice is quiet and deliberate, like he's carefully choosing his words.]

Michael and I have always had difficulties, going back to shortly after our creation, so it came as little surprise. Despite the various universes from which we come, who we fundamentally are remains.

[He pauses to gather his thoughts, then continues.]

He became jealous and petty, which was a side of him that I have never seen. He was deliberately hurtful to those who caused him no harm. And it was clear to me that he and John would eventually come into conflict. Michael was becoming unstable, or so it seemed to me, and each day the likelihood increased that he would harm someone. Not the individuals that were trying to kill John and I, those he seemed rather inexplicably fond of, but others. Humans.

It was sudden, so abrupt there were no signs. One moment he was the brother I had come to know, and the next it was like he'd been replaced by someone else. Perhaps the shift to that reality unsettled him. Or perhaps he inadvertently fond his way through the door. I cannot say for certain, but I know that he changed.
