It had only been several hours ago that Roxas arrived at Paixao, met Demyx, and brought Dib to Haja o Que Houver. Out of the distress caused by various happening, the blonde had been unable to sleep serenely. Instead, he had been lying underneath the sheet of the bed in the hotel room with his hands behind his head for several hours, musing over the fact that Organization XIII probably wanted to kill him... because he took actions that made him seem like a traitor. Nonetheless, Roxas couldn't help but want to be a part of something he didn't want to be a part of two days ago.

Why were things like that? Why couldn't he feel content with what he had? Why did feel the need for more when there was nothing in the world that he really deserved? Nobodies didn't deserve anything. They were just... Nobody.

That moment the former Number XIII thought of a complete new concept: what if he had a heart? It would defy the definition of a Nobody but anything was possibly, wasn't it? After all-- he already defied by definition of a Nobody simply by having no memories he had no real of his other self. Sora...

He half expected the booming activity and lively music to interrupt his thoughts, or maybe even the other boy that he teleported along with him. But there was no booming activity and lively music coming from downstairs. But there were sounds nearby. Maybe it was Dib? Or maybe someone else? Half-reluctantly, the boy slowly dragged himself out of bed and put on his Organization jacket. He found a rectangular device nearby and put that in the pocket of his jacket, then, walked out to see what the source of the sound was.

In all actuality, Dib was very used to bizarre goings-on. Being an aspiring paranormal investigator will do that to you; you tend to get caught up in interesting dilemmas. However, the alarming frequency of strange events that occurred over the past day was beginning to worry him. It must be a new record to, in the course of 24 hours, infiltrate an alien base, get zapped to another dimension (which may or may not actually exist), meet Lucifer Himself, discover the existence of a shadowy organization, get pulled through an interdimensional wormhole by a kid who didn't look much older than Dib, and now this.

Perched on a balcony overlooking the downstairs restaurant, Dib held his X-ray goggles to his eyes and peered at the strange white organisms that slithered and writhed through the panicked croud. Once his goggles were firmly attached to his face, he pulled out his laptop/journal hybrid and began furiously writing notes with the stylus. Fascinating.... absolutely fascinating.... Terrifying, to be sure, but these creatures were of a kind previously unknown to science! It was Dib's intellectual - no moral - obligation to make observations as much as he could, even though his heart was practically in his throat while watching the creatures wreak havoc on the innocent diners. He just hoped none of them would notice him...

He was so absorbed in his note-taking that the sound of Roxas exiting the room caused Dib to jump and nearly fall off the railing. "Gaaah!!" he yelped, waving his arms to maintain his balance. Once his footing was secure, he pulled his goggles away from his eyes and looked over at Roxas. "Jeez, it's about time you got up! These things have been here for fifteen minutes and twenty-four seconds!" he snapped, a little harsher than he'd intended. He sighed and, securing his X-goggles over his glasses again, returned his gaze on the chaos below. "Do you have any idea what these things are?" he asked, not looking at Roxas as he watched a Dusk chase down a woman.
