Hey all.
So like it says in the description, this is an addition to Rebirth and Remembrance. These are basically like the secret reports in Days; a few of them will move the story forward, most of them will just expand, and many are just for fun. They will all be short, usually from the first person point of view of some character.
This started out as being the Mercury Reports; they were a series of reports done by "Xima" about her different theories about the heart, etc., but as I went along, the creative bug bit me :) and I also wanted some things in here that would otherwise clutter the story with unnecessary things. For example, I have several tower scenes and missions with Sora and other members that just wouldn't fit in the end. So without further ado, enjoy!
Xima.
That's the name I've been given. A new name to reflect a new me, a new life, a new person.
I was reborn into this world without a heart. We are referred to as Nobodies—beings who don't truly exist, but still are. We lost our hearts to the darkness, and the body and soul left behind became animated.
Normally, Nobodies have memories of who they were before, but we don't. There was another Nobody like us, Roxas, who acted almost like a zombie. We aren't quite that bad; we remember what things are, we can remember our personality traits instinctively, and our minds function fine. It's like amnesia; we simply don't remember any personal details.
The "we" I refer to is me and what I assume to be my friends; I and three others all woke up together in Twilight Town. Being around them seems familiar, but none of our personalities really match. Odd.
The two other recent members were found elsewhere shortly after us. A seventh member was found at Castle Oblivion.
It has only been a few days; there are still things I'm getting used to. The two head researchers of the Organization, Zexion and Vexen, said they have their eyes on me. Vexen in particular said he was impressed with my analytical mind, and said that I reminded him of someone.
I can already see that science suits me better than battle. There are many things I already question.
Organization XIII…an organization that almost never has a consistent number of members. The Heartless, creatures born of darkness and the other half of Nobodies. And finally, Kingdom Hearts…
Indeed, there are many things to inspect…to dissect…
I use Xima to poke fun at things in the kingdom hearts plotline, ie plotholes, things that change, etc. Of course, we now know why there are XIII memebers, but when I wrote this it was still a mystery and there was going to be something to it :P
