From: Demyx

[melodiouspacifist]

Pssst. Are you busy? I've got something I want to talk to you about.

[lightresearch]

My door’s always open to you, Demyx. Would you prefer to talk in person?

[melodiouspacifist]

Eh, doesn't really matter. I wanted to talk to you about Vanitas. If you want to come over here or something you can.

[lightresearch]

I see. I’ll be right over - should just be a minute. :)

[ And indeed, that’s one benefit from having their trees so near each other. Ienzo just needed to mark where he was in his research before grabbing his coat and leaving. ]

[melodiouspacifist]

[ It's fine, Demyx will make an appearance so Ienzo doesn't have to weave his way through his weird treehouse with the hidden areas and is sitting on the couch in the main room. ]

Hey En, what's up?

[lightresearch]

[ Not that Ienzo hasn’t navigated that before. He’s still unaware that he’s one of the few people who knew of many of those secret spaces, in fact. ]

[ Ienzo gave him a small smile, feeling a little shy and sheepish. After their not-really-a-date, or maybe an Demyx-only-thinks-I-saved-him-from-an-auction-date … he’s been wondering how to resolve his knot of feelings inside. ]

[ By mostly burying himself in research. ]

[ Look when you only had one coping mechanism … ]

[ But he’s not avoiding Demyx, that seemed cruel and unfair to his friend. He’d always come over and help if asked. And he sat down beside him now. ]

Just a little preoccupied by a few personal projects - but not so preoccupied I can’t help a friend. How are you, Demyx? What’s this about Vanitas?

[melodiouspacifist]

I'm fine, I'm fine. [ And he is too, aside from one creepy dream or two...and his fear of ghost dogs. Fortunately he hasn't seen any. ]

You know how Vanitas is like...gone, right? Uh. Do you think there's anything we could do to change it? Because I was talking to him and I think...

I think he wants to come back too.

[lightresearch]

[ The small, warm smile Ienzo was unconsciously wearing on his face when Demyx said he’s fine - quickly slid off into a pensive frown. ]

Yes. I know.

And … theoretically, it should be possible. [ Ienzo quickly adds; ] But that assumes several factors.

You remember how we managed to bring Roxas back? We have Vanitas here already. All of his data - his memories, his heart - are here.

But … [ Ienzo looked down. ]

[melodiouspacifist]

Yeah, but. [ Demyx has listened to Ienzo enough to be actually following this one. Vanitas' data is here. ]

But if this world exists, and we got here, there must be a way to get back?

[ That makes sense to him. ]

Like, I know Vanitas is here right now, but what if you found a way to drag him and Sora back?

[lightresearch]

That might also be possible. Yet, more difficult. We’d need to figure out whatever separates this reality of dreams and our own, and create some kind of … tunnel, or doorway, through that thing. One that also wouldn’t damage either world in the process.

[ He sighed. ] But that might be a better plan than the initial theory I was suggesting. Because it would require me remembering this dream accurately when I wake up - and I have no proof that I will nor timeframe for when that might happen.

[ Ienzo sighed again, head tilting, tapping his knee. ]

But is directly connecting this dream world to our reality too risky? [ He needed more data. ]

[melodiouspacifist]

[ Demyx lets out a little sigh, considering that as he leans back in his seat, tilting his head to look at the ceiling as he thinks it over. Usually he'd chatter to fill the silence, but he doesn't have to pretend like he's not listening or thinking things through.

He hums. ]

Risky? Maybe a little but most worlds we can get to are interconnected, even if you can't see it. [ He can see it though. At least, he can see the corridors. ]

There probably is some kind of connection, but we'd have to find it. I can dig around the dark corridors, but I have a feeling you're not gonna let me do that.
