While in many worlds, this is the time for festivals celebrating the rebirth of the year, calling forth the sun again, remembering ancient traditions and ancient myths... there's no sign of any of that here.

It's Xeha's laboratory. A crisp, clean place, though one with the odd sign of human personality stamped on it. Photographs and a toddler's plushie with a missing eye sit on a desk alongside any number of notes and a tablet computer. Plenty of work seems to have been going on around here: things produced, things trialled. A familiar black coat and a white labcoat hang together on a stand.

More important than all that at the moment, though, is something currently set up in a side room. A forcefield of soft red light screens it from the rest of the world, and the walls seem to be crossed with lasers.

An ornate blade set on a simple stand, with equipment around it.

Its creator's waiting just outside the doorway.

If there's one thing that can be said about Even, it's that he's devoted to his work. Perhaps even too devoted, at times, and this holds true regardless of what his latest project. So really it ought to come as no surprise that tonight is no different. The worst of the Heartless have been cleared out, and so it is that they've returned to what is currently passing as home base. Naturally then, Even has returned to his usual task of categorizing the days worth of Heartless - there have been a few new variants lately and it's imperative that he both categorize them before he forgets the important details as well as cross-checks them with the types he already has. Understanding the 'species' such as they are is a vital part in understanding the plague they've been tasked with dealing with.

Wrapped up as he is, he doesn't notice as the hours creep by and barely even notes that it's growing darker. As long as he has some sort of light source he'll keep working, and Glacier is resting against his chair in case he has need to defend himself against attack.

Meet at simulation room.

There are times in Xehanort's life where he can't help but be verbose. Text messages, however, are not one of them. And a quick note to Braig to let him know that now would be a good time to discuss important matters is not something he feels to be worth a speech.

The room he's sending directions towards is currently set up with bright clear screens and workstations, and to cap things off, a couple of comfy chairs. Once more, he's opting for simplicity over his flair for the dramatic.

Right now, he thinks he needs a bit of comfort behind him.

+0: BbS happens. Or mostly. Main divergence points: New Xehanort is de-aged to 10/11 years old, arrives at Radiant Garden and is adopted by Ansem.

+4mths: Ansem catches Braig trying to talk Xehanort into doing the darkness thing. Decides that having the kid near it might be a liability.

+6mths: Darkness experiments begin. Progress overall is slowed without Xehanort's driving them.

+2 years: Experiments abandoned as largely not worth it, although not before creating Heartless, who are sealed away.

+2.2yrs: Kairi first meets Heartless in abandoned labs. Lets them out. They find each other fascinating.

+3 years: Kairi vanishes: goes to Destiny Islands with her dark friends, meets Sora, who seems to understand them, and Riku who's just plain interested in these things from other worlds. Other RG citizens start going missing.

+4 yrs: Dark takeover of castle. Xehanort and other apprentices are 'cursed' to either enchanted sleep or sent into the future. Ansem the Wise is lost to the dark.

+10yrs: KH1 era. Apprentices are awoken/found by Donald and Goofy, and plot starts happening. Tracking down the source of the Heartless, rescuing people who got trapped out of their own worlds such as their Lea and Isa, or picking up folks who just want to see the Heartless taken care of. Sora and Riku are both travelling and watching the progress of everything, while Kairi herself remains on DI, now a stormy and harsh place...

CoM: Xeha and Braig exploring memories in Castle Oblivion.

+11yrs: KH2 era. DiZ and Aqua as enemies: DiZ is out destroying Nobodies, and Aqua, in her role as this time period's Big Bad, is working to break down the barriers between worlds and realms. Likely the point at which Xeha learns his past fully: he meets the Nobody Eraqus, who wants his help… and who seems to recognise him...

KH3D: Interestingly spoilery business happens.

This was a nice ballroom, once. A place where the cultured and refined could waltz through the night... princes and princesses and all their likes having a beautiful time as the music played.

Tonight, however, that was not on the cards.

The small exploratory party hadn't had the best of times here, as scorch marks and ruined pillars told a story about what had just been happening. A fight.

But at least that Keywraith'd been finished, right? That thing, that bundle of thorns and rose petals, was lying inert on the floor...

Xeha took a moment to glance over at Dilan and Braig, his current companions, before stepping in to make sure the job was done.
Perhaps he shouldn't have been so hasty, he quickly found himself thinking, as it erupted upwards: that didn't look anything near so good. And the last fight hadn't been good already, Dilan already rather wounded. Not that he hadn't given every bit as good as he got. And as far as people to have on your side in this situation went, the ex-guards were some of the best.

Still, Xeha couldn't help but give a call out of exasperation and overall pain, as he took a step back, ready to fight...

"Not again!"

What if light was dark, what if dark was light, what if someone had another chance?

The Mirrorverse - not exactly what TV Tropes would call a 'mirror universe' but close enough - is a setting where the ending of Birth By Sleep was upset, leading to Xehanort's being reborn as a child, a blank slate. And from here, things snowballed: the apprentices and the rest of Organization XIII ending up fighting on the side of good, while Sora, Kairi and their group end up falling into the darkness.

And then it just gets more complicated.

And hopefully fun.
