Where are we, anyway?

[halfdarkened]

Something hit me. Sure, we're in Castle Oblivion. But what floor? The basement floors can look the same as the ones upstairs.

Are we heading to the exit or to someone who's waiting for us?

Why would someone be waiting for us? Anyway, I still can't believe you think this a castle. It doesn't feel like a castle! Ok, so the door things to the other worlds were weird and I couldn't feel them, but how do you know this is a castle anyway?

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

We're part of one big experiment or something. So yeah. There's a guard dog somewhere. It doesn't look like a castle, either. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it on the outside.

[blindearthgirl.livejournal.com]

You've seen the outside? That's news.

So, if we are part of some big experiment or whatever, then what are you thinking about doing about it? I don't like being toyed with, so if you need some asskicking done, let me know.

Sora has, too, but he doesn't remember what happened there.

Don't worry, I will. Thing is, I don't know what to do about it yet. The Organization's smart enough not to do the same thing as last time. We've got to wait to see what cards they play. And right now, we need to keep exploring. Looking for ways up.

I'm tired of trying to have real life in fake worlds.

I'll see if I can find anything too. Of course, I'll have to convince my own friends about it, but that shouldn't be too hard.

That we're in a castle? Take them to the next floor. No way an ocean could fit in a castle.

Every floor is a memory of someone. The next floor up is from my and Sora's memories.

Sokka can figure out that something's weird here on his own. I'll just nudge him in the right direction.

That's...weird. Just weird. I shouldn't look out for weird girlfriends, should I?

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Sokka?

Uuuuuh... From me, no. But for all we know, we could bump into a copy of your world.

[blindearthgirl.livejournal.com]

Sokka's a friend. He's weird, but he's a friend. His girlfriend is also here, so I hope they're up for some exploring. It's not like we're in the Fire Nation or anything.

A...copy? It wouldn't have a copy of Azula in it, would it?

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing the Fire Nation isn't a good place to be.

Whoever she is, maybe. Really, it depends on what memories the Castle takes and what the Organization decides to do with those memories.

[blindearthgirl.livejournal.com]

No, it's not. Especially if you're not from the Fire Nation.

Augh! This sounds like Avatar stuff! I don't want to deal with this crap!

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Like they treat their people bad?

Avatar? I don't really care what kind of stuff it is, fact is we have to do what we have to.

[blindearthgirl.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know about their own people, but they are trying to take over the world. Well...the Fire Lord is anyway.

Yeah. It's just confusing. I never got all this 'spirit world' and 'copy of memories' stuff.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Great. Sounds fun. Well. If your world shows up, it could either be your house or the whole world, Fire Nation and all.

"Spirit world?" You mean the Underworld?

[blindearthgirl.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I'd rather have the Fire Nation than my house.

Underworld? What are you talking about? You don't mean badgermoles, do you?

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...Your house in a bad neighborhood or something?

Badgermoles? Um, no, I'm talking about how in this one world, if you die, you go to a place called the Underworld. Not exactly a fun place.

[blindearthgirl.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. Just can't stand my parents.

I've never heard of it. Sounds pretty boring to me.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...Man, they must be something if you'd rather be in the nation that's trying to take over the world.

If you got stuck there, while still alive, I'm not sure you'd agree.

[blindearthgirl.livejournal.com]

You have no idea.

Maybe not. I guess I won't know unless I find out, huh?

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Guess I don't.

Let's hope we don't have to do that. I'm not hauling you out of there.

[blindearthgirl.livejournal.com]

Pffffffft. Like I need anyone to haul me out of trouble.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...Right.

How old are you anyway, kid?
