[Roxas is rubbing his eye as he clicks on the video.]

Guys, don't look up if you go outside today. Even if it seems like the, uh, rain is done, it could come back. And these things can hurt.

They're good, though. [He pops another one into his mouth and chews it with a thoughtful crunch, zoning out slightly before refocusing on his communicator.]

But I think some of them aren't good for you. I had one before and got all these weird pictures in my head—it was like a city, but not real, because it sort of...folded up. That was cool, but I'm pretty sure candy's not supposed to make that happen.

Just be careful, okay?

Some of the candy...I would suggest it not be eaten. Some of these seem to be personal thoughts.

But that's odd. A city that folds up? If the people who know of it would want to share more, I would like to know more about that.

[binarysky]

...thoughts?

[He shakes his head.] I'm not sure how else to describe it. It was neat. It couldn't be real, though.

[oceantrauma]

Well, memories are a type of thought. Still, they're personal, no matter what.

It might be real. I mean, this place is real, and I would have thought otherwise until coming here.

Another one who just puts anything in his mouth...

Demyx stands outside the door of one of his apartment-mates, the door with the gold knob; Roxas's door. He shifts where he stands, and then knocks twice. "Uh, hey."

[binarysky]

Huh. I guess that makes sense.

[binarysky]

It's not just anything! It's candy!

[binarysky]

By the time he's home again, Roxas has almost forgotten about the strange effects of the candy. Well, not forgotten, since that was a really interesting vision. But he's thinking more about dinner than the latest curse-thing until there's a knock at the door.

"Yeah?" Demyx, not Sora, who's not even home yet. "Come on in."

[a_parting_word]

Strange candy that's been on the ground.

[binarysky]

I caught it!

[a_parting_word]

Were your hands newly washed?

[binarysky]

That's none of your business.

[a_parting_word]

They weren't.

[oceantrauma]

Yes, considering that, I would like to know more about it. And hope this City never decides to fold up.... What would become of us?

[ Oh. Oh. ]

It was a dream.

private;

[binarysky]

Huh? I wasn't asleep.

[binarysky]

They weren't dirty!

[binarysky]

We'd get really flat?

private;

[boutant]

No, I mean--

What you saw, the city folding? It was a dream.

private;

[binarysky]

[wat.]

How do you know that?

private;

[boutant]

Because it's a dream I've had before.

private;

[binarysky]

Oh!

So...the candy makes us see other people's dreams?

[leathered]

They taste like secrets to me. Bitter.

[binarysky]

Secrets taste like chalk and sugar?

private;

[boutant]

Well, that depends. [ She frowns. ] Because I think I got something of yours, too.
