[ She goes looking for him at the hotel. She's not sure where else to check, honestly, and she came straight back here after her run-in with Riku. She's still shaken from all she learned there, but there's something pressing she needs to address with her best friend.
He lied to her.
So it's time to find out the truth. ]

[ He's a busy boy, than Roxas. He's volunteered himself for several different training groups, and has been making a point of getting to know his new unit as much as possible. He comes back to the hotel a little while before dinner, wanting to sit down in the lobby for a little bit an relax before heading out to find something to eat and maybe going for a run on one of the beaches.
He's obviously not going to ignore her, even if he doesn't immediately realize she's waiting for him. ]
Xion!
[ An easy greeting of friendship. ]

[There's a small note on Roxas' bed, wrapped around a pendant. The note reads: It's a healing amulet from Selena. One use. Don't waste it, but don't hesitate to use it if you need it. It's meant for a mission, though. You fight with Hibari, go to Medical. -G.V.]

CALLING: Vakarian, Garrus
Ghost's answer is that if you mess up once more, it's on both our heads. We will both be punished, and that puts my world at risk. I wanna be damn clear on this - do not get in another fight. Do not provoke Ansem. Leave him alone, leave anyone you have problems with alone, do you understand?

Do pardon the message, but Mr. Vakarian advised I contact you. I am looking for a "cute" name (his suggestion was Sparklepuffluffspotsomething) for a creature I found on today's expedition.
FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org
If you have any suggestions, I would quite appreciate it.
...And as a small warning, the image may be startling. The Lothlo have an unusual appearance.

If we haven't spoken before, I am Corvo and I have previously spoken of this on the network to some degree, but given the change of circumstances I thought I should warn about this as I am no longer as... isolated.
FROM: attano.corvo@cdc.org
I have a mark, which gives me magic abilities if that is a familiar term, I also carry charms that enhance it. Both of these are powered by place called the Void, and from the god I have spoken of before on the network for those who remember it, called the Outsider.
FROM: attano.corvo@cdc.org
Which my warning of him is the same, if you meet him, engage in conversation carefully.
FROM: attano.corvo@cdc.org
Unfortunately the void has a side effect of being disquieting to experience, and for the sake of your mind and mine, I'd ask you despite whatever temptation, to please not touch the charms. They can and do drive people insane if listened to at any great length.
FROM: attano.corvo@cdc.org
To that end, I will understand if you keep your distance from me for this reason. Being around my magic will have some of the same side effects if a little indirectly.

If you have any questions or would like to know anything else, please feel free to ask me. Likewise, if I or my abilities can be of any use to you, please let me know. I will endeavor to do all that I can to assist.

[ The note that Corvo sends maybe... explains some of the strange things he has been dreaming about. The strangeness of it all is relative, when he had been trapped in the virtual reality of Twilight Town, he'd had a number of strange dreams; the memories of his Other being stitched back together by a witch, filtering through him.
In a way, the dreams are similar. He remembers that strange place beyond sleep, that was where he had waited inside of Sora before the CDC had brought him here. It is... disturbing to return there for reasons all its own. It was a place one drowned to reach and the Station of Awakening echoed with a sense of precariousness, of being on the precipice of something grand. Something which required preparation, something which could end in failure: a disappearance from this world, into nothingness.
But the dream has become disturbing in other ways as well. The dark things that have always lingered there are more aggressive, the shadows and suggestions coming up from the darkness are mournful and alien. The usually beautiful stained glass pathway between the Stations are broken, grimy. And, always, they have been leading him towards nothing more than Xion's crumpled coat, empty and lit from above as if mocking him. The voice that once would have advised him now only has one thing to say: You cannot save her-
He's woken with tears in his eyes each time, shivering--whether with anger or fear, unclear.
He had thought maybe it was just grief. He thinks, still, that maybe it is just grief but the changes in a once quite familiar environment raise questions. So, he goes to ask the assassin. ]
