The weather was still bitterly cold, and the snow was still thick on the ground, but it was finally possible to at least go outside by the front doors. The King and Queen have still forbidden anyone from staying overnight at the museum district in case it started snowing again. But the King could be seen outside trying to shovel snow enough to make a path to the castle at the least.

The snow was still too thick to get easily anywhere not shoveled, and the snow was so heavy that even beasted out, Ben needed to take constant breaks inside to sit down and dry off. This wasn't going to be a fast task.

It was only made harder when it started. For those who slept, it would start after they have fully awoken for the day. For those who don't sleep, they'd find that they had fallen into a pleasant daydream, even if it wasn't normal for them to do so. When they came out of it, that was when it would start for them.

But what is it, exactly?

Small snippets of memories, playing for anyone who was with the person remembering to see. But the thing was, these memories... were memories the person had not yet made. Memories of the future.

Not enough to give answers, probably not enough to give reassurances for much other than "oh hey, I do have a future after all," but generally pleasant, and short. Hey, it will give people a thing to talk about, at least. Especially since this will go on for the next two weeks or so.

Guardians United Timestamp 3:42-4:11

Seen from Lea's perspective, the assembled Guardians of Light stand together in a room as he addresses them in a somewhat frustrated manner. To those from modern Earth who might know- of which there is at least one among the current Misrecalled- three among their number are unmistakably Donald Duck, Goofy, and Mickey Mouse. A few others may be familiar faces as well at this point, though not quite blatantly fictional characters come to life.

"This is all very touching, guys, but where do I fit in?" Lea says.

"Ven looks just like Roxas- or is it Roxas looks just like Ven? And now I have to explain all of that to him- which is in itself a crazy long story-, and apparently everybody already knows everyone, and this is an insane amount to GET MEMORIZED!"

Judging by the way the view shifts, Lea apparently throws up his hands just as the memory ends.


"What in the...?", Lea said, then sighed as he realized. "Don't tell me were doing this kind of song and dance again. Though that seemed more like the future than a memory from the past..."


Upside-down Tears Timestamp 2:56-3:23

Seen from the outside, Lea and Siax sit on a familiar clocktower ledge. Lea holds two ice cream bars, one partly finished, the other whole. Siax holds an empty stick having apparently just finished one. The two have clearly been arguing, or at leas Lea has, looking angry and frustrated while Siax seems unperturbed.

"The marks under your eyes," Siax said, turning to look at Lea. "They're gone."

Lea seems a bit surprised by the remark, but snaps back, "Yeah. Don't need 'em."

"Always told you they'd stop you from crying," Siax continued as he got up to leave. "The upside-down tears."

"Would you get lost?!", Lea yelled. "I'll clobber you tomorrow!"

Siax gave a soft 'heh', then spoke once more before vanishing in a swirl of darkness, leaving Lea alone on the ledge. "I expect no less." As the swirl of darkness fades, so does the bit of memory.


The real Lea shared some of his memory-self's frustration. "Tch, typical," he said. "Never gonna let me live that down are you? And of course this place decides to show everyone..."


No one axes Axel Timestamp 0:36-1:04

Seen from Lea's perspective, he's crouched on the dusty ground amid what look like some sort of ancient stone structure. He's facing off against Siax and Xemnas, the former with glowing eyes and surrounded by an aura of blue energy, indicating to those familiar with his powers that he's in his 'berserk' state.

"Ah, ever the rogue pawn," Xemnas said in his deep, all but toneless voice. "Knocked from the board early in the game. Utterly useless and forgotten."

"You kidding?", Lea responded, snarky as ever. "Do you know how popular I am? I got load of people rootin' for me. Sorry, boss. No one axes Axel. Got it memorized?" The fragment cuts off just as Lea lunges forward, swinging his Keyblade at Xemnas' head.


"Aw, come on, really?", present Lea said, frustrated at the multiverse's poor timing yet again. "You're cutting it off there? I wanted to seem myself clobbering him right in his smug face!"


All together Timestamp 3:44-4:14

Seen from outside, Lea and Roxas sit together on the familiar clocktower ledge, gazing out at the sunset. They look up as they're joined by Xion, who's wearing a simple, black sleeveless dress rather than the coat that those in Auradon would be familiar with. Isa joins them a moment later, bearing four ice cream bars. he hands two to Roxas and Xion, before sitting down on the opposite side of Lea, giving him one of the remaining two.

They're about to start in on their ice creams when Roxas looks up and smiles as three other young teens- Hayner, Pence, and Olette- arrive, waving cheerfully at him before also taking a seat on the ledge. The view shifts to show all of the sitting on the ledge together, eating ice cream and watching the sun set as the memory fades.


Lea didn't seem to have any commentary on this particular snippet of memory, simply gazing at the spot where the group had been a moment ago, smiling fondly. Or maybe hopefully? It was hard to tell.

United - to start
Aqua chuckled. "So that's what you were like back then, is it?" she asked, with a warm smile.

"What 'back then'?", Lea said. "That hasn't even happened yet."

Aqua winced. "Sorry, please forget I mentioned it," she said. "How has your day been otherwise?"

"Uh-uh, you don't get to say something like that and then just back it off," he said. "What did you mean by that?"

She sighed. "Lea... I have seen the end of the war with Xemnas nearly a dozen times now in different configurations. Usually I get to know you only way before where you are now, or way after. This is the most time I have ever spent with a version of you that didn't resent me, hate me, or just plain avoid me."

hotheadwarmheart: (Attentive)
From: [personal profile] hotheadwarmheart
Perhaps surprisingly, Lea said nothing to deny it, and very little to defend his alternate selves. "Yeah, that tracks," he said. "Especially if you met me as Axel. I had a real problem with authority back then, which given the Organization's... everything, was probably a good thing. Any version of me as Lea... not sure I'd go out of my way to actively avoid you, but back then I'd just come off being a Nobody and had my own issues and training to deal with, on top of us just plain being pressed for time. Not really a surprise we didn't hang out much."

Date: 2025-01-11 09:27 am (UTC)
aquawayfinder: (Touched)
From: [personal profile] aquawayfinder
She nodded. "When I met you as Axel it was usually when I went to pull you out to keep Xion and Roxas from going back in for you, and that seemed to bring a number of reasons to dislike me with it." She shook her head. "But none of that has to do with this you, my friend. You are your own separate person and I am very glad to know you. For yourself."

"Yeeaah, I was really possessive then," he said. "And I was convinced that the best way to protect Roxas and Xion would be to keep them 'safely' in the Organization with me.. I knew what the consequences were for betraying the Organization, mostly because I was the one who tended to deliver them."

Aqua opened her mouth to reply when...

Here we go away again

"Aqua?" Ven asked, sounding and looking sad. "Are you really leaving?"

Aqua nodded, sad as well. She walked over and stroked his hair, leaving her hand on the back of her head. "It's time, Ven. I need to leave now. Before it is too hard to leave at all."

"Then don't leave at all, Aqua! Stay!"

"She can't," Terra said. "And you know it."

Aqua's free hand moved, so her arm could go around his shoulders. "I'll miss you both. And you'll both always be in my heart."

"No!" The younger one said. "I don't know it! Why can't you stay?"

"Because," Aqua said, gently. "You already have her. If I stay, we'll destroy each other. And there will still only be one of us."

"But..."

"No, Ven. Don't make this harder than it has to be," Terra said. He turned to Aqua. "No matter which you you are, your heart is connected to ours. That's never going to change." He rested a hand on her chest, over her heart. "May your heart be your guiding key, Master Aqua. And may it always lead you where you need to be."

Ven sniffed then nodded. "Terra's right. We're always with you, Aqua. Even if we wish we could actually go with you. But there's another us out there waiting for you, and I bet they miss you as much as we would." He took a deep breath. "May your heart be your guiding key. But.. if it ever wants to guide you back for a visit... that would be okay too."

She hugged them both, kissed the top of Ven's head. "Thank you, both. My heart is always with you. May your hearts be your guiding keys. Master Terra. Master Ven." She stepped back, summoned her Keyblade, and bowed with it crossed over her chest.

They summoned their Keyblades and returned the gesture


Aqua's eyes were filmed as she summoned her Keyblade and bowed to the vanishing image. She then dismissed it and stood, giving Lea a watery smile, a tear rolling. "I'm sorry, what were we saying?"

"Well whatever I was going to say, what I'm saying now is that the Multiverse can go stick it where the sun don't shine," he said. "This is, what, the third or fourth time it's pried into our timelines now? It needs to learn to mind its own business."

He'll get back to what he was actually saying in a moment. But they both need a moment of annoyance at the multiverse first.

"Well I mind," Lea said. "I mean would it kill it to give us a little warning? Or better yet, the ability to pick what we see? As its stands it's kinda a pain in the butt."

Also United

Ian had been heading to speak to the King and Queen when they stumbled across that and stopped dead. "Okay so.... I have questions, starting with how did you manage such a life like hologram out here without any apparent equipment. And probably ending with, if you aren't from my world, and with that hair I have no choice but to accept that, how did you know to include so many Disney characters?"

Date: 2024-11-21 08:28 am (UTC)
hotheadwarmheart: (Attentive)
From: [personal profile] hotheadwarmheart
Lea looked puzzled. "Huh? What holograms?", he said. "And what characters? That's just a bunch of my friends from back home. Yeah, a few of them are from Disney Castle, and Donald is quite a character sometimes, but not the way it sounds like you mean."

"I'm sorry, you're not honestly telling you actually know Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy? Don't ask why he's not called Goofy Dog, or why he can speak and Pluto can't, please. Those debates rage over the forums all the time, and to avoid a headache I stepped away a while back."

hotheadwarmheart: (Attentive)
From: [personal profile] hotheadwarmheart
Sorry Ian, Lea just continued to look puzzled. "Well, yeah, I do," he said. "As a matter for fact, showing up in the nick of time to help them chase off a couple bad guys who were threatening Queen Minnie was how I first got my foot in the door of the whole 'Guardians of Light' thing. Would've mentioned it sooner if I thought you knew them too."

"Queen... Minnie.... either I am behind on my trivia, which I'm not... or she was a princess in Brave Little Tailor. You aren't telling me they put out a sequel to a cartoon from the 30s..."

hotheadwarmheart: (Exasperated)
From: [personal profile] hotheadwarmheart
OK, Lea was starting to move past 'puzzled' and into 'mildly annoyed' at what Ian seemed to be implying. "Look, maybe it's just an alternate universe thing, but I don't know anything about any tailors there," he said. "King Mickey rules Disney Castle and the surrounding world. Queen Minnie is his wife and rules beside him, and in fact she's mostly been handling things domestically on her own while the King's been out helping the Guardians. Donald is their court mage, and Goofy is the captain of their royal knights. Donald's girlfriend is Daisey; I pretty much only met her long enough to be introduced, but she seemed nice enough. I even met a version of Donald's sister, Della, in the hub world I was stuck in before this one; she's pretty cool too, and has good taste in movies, if I do say so myself."

"None of them are tailors, characters, or holograms. Got it memorized?"

"I'm sorry... Donald Duck... was given magic? With that temper? I'm sorry, I have accepted a lot of this, but now I feel like you really are trying to gaslight me." A thoughtful frown. "Come back to my room, I think I have proof I can show you. I had briefly worked on a fan project - in no way shape or form to ever be posted, especially not attached to my name - that has some raw footage. I think I have the project on on hard drive."

Date: 2024-11-22 03:33 am (UTC)
hotheadwarmheart: (Headshake)
From: [personal profile] hotheadwarmheart
"He wasn't given magic, he learned it," Lea said. It was an important distinction. "And speaking from personal experience, it probably took a lot of work. Though the version of Della I met didn't believe it at first either, so I can't exactly blame you for doubting it when even a version of his own sister did."

"And I'll take a look at the project, but in the meantime ask yourself why I would make something like this up? I mean I wasn't even expecting that flash of memory, or future memory, or whatever it was to happen. Do you really think I came up with an elaborate scheme to mess with you on the spur of the moment like that?"

"Well, no, but...", he trailed off, deflating a bit as he moved to follow Ian. "It's just... I'm not that kinda guy anymore. Not someone who manipulates and screws with people. And I guess I just figured it'd be more obvious." Maybe Xion wasn't the only one who thought he was lying when he was telling the truth...

"Whoa man, then you better hope you don't end up kicking around the multiverse for awhile like I've been," he said. "Because stuff like this is barely move the needle on my weird-ometer at this point. The multiverse can give Wonderland a run for its munny at times."
