call; backdated May 24

[Ring ring - Roxas doesn't trust even a filtered conversation around Xehanort. He already hacked Terra's heart.]

permacall;

[lockandkeyblade]

[A click on the line.] Hey.

[pullsheavendown]

[Continuing on like there was no interruption]

I don't know exactly what Xehanort wants. It's easy to see why he's interested in you, though. You're the hero; you took down Ansem and Xemnas both.

[The briefest of uncomfortable pauses]

Vanitas is another story.

[lockandkeyblade]

And he knows he's next.

[He looks pretty unhappy at that second part.]

You mean besides the fact that he's got my face?

[pullsheavendown]

[There's an equally unhappy sigh over the connection.]

I was wondering whether you saw it or not. He told me he went after you.

[lockandkeyblade]

So you knew about it too, then. That he looks like me.

[pullsheavendown]

Yeah. I was the first one to see it, the day he was pulled here.

Sorry. There wasn't really a good way to bring it up.

[lockandkeyblade]

I guess not.

He made sure I knew exactly who he was, anyway.

[pullsheavendown]

That sounds like him. He's a jerk. [Understatement of the century.] And he's in this up to his neck.

[lockandkeyblade]

He would be.

[And then a little lower.]

A jerk... and a liar too.

[pullsheavendown]

[Roxas doesn't like the sound of that.]

What did he tell you?

[lockandkeyblade]

[A pause on the line.]

Remember what we talked about in the coffee shop? About what I asked Xion?

[pullsheavendown]

Yeah...

[lockandkeyblade]

I asked because of him. He said he wasn't my replica, or a copy or an other.

[pullsheavendown]

He isn't.

[He frowns, not that Sora can see it.]

Did he tell you what he is?

[lockandkeyblade]

He said he's me. That we're the same.
