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.

Lea OTA- KH3 Spoilers for those who haven't played
Date: 2024-11-20 05:48 am (UTC)Guardians United
Timestamp 3:42-4:11Seen 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 2:56-3:23Seen 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 0:36-1:04Seen 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 3:44-4:14Seen 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.

Date: 2025-02-13 09:22 am (UTC)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?"

Date: 2024-11-21 08:13 am (UTC)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?"

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?"
