Progress report logs
Who: Larxene, Marluxia
When: Time period after Larxene becomes a Nobody
What: A series of notes keeping track of things.
Obtaining a Princess was surprisingly less problematic than expected. newly connected world and a brief hunt yielded twelve candidates, it was a simple matter of keeping all potentials at hand while the world fell. Admittedly the strongest heart was an unexpected one, the youngest daughter rather than any better suited to the task. Regardless, having a Nobody present allowed for immediate retrieval of our newest member.
I was also able to observe first hand, the transition state between Somebody and Nobody, a process I suggest others watch they will likely have better words to describe the states. To me it felt as if my element fled while another came screaming in. It was quite damaging to hold her through that phase. We were unable to retrieve the heart alongside the Nobody though, a miscalculation on our part but holding the essence of a Princess heart proved impossible.
Unfortunately the conversion of a Princess did not result in a stronger Nobody as we had hoped. Thus far she shows only basic grasp of her element and a confusion I suppose we all endured in the beginning. Likewise her weapon is hardly effective, being small and shards instead of a cohesive whole. With some prompting the form has resolved itself as several throwing knives, each measuring no greater than five inches. A brief tour of connected worlds shows she has no great affinity for the doors in each world, nor paths to the world heart, so in that regard I must label her a failure. She does have some slight sensitivity to new connections, though she is unable to fully explain the sensation or where exactly each new connection is. Once released upon her own recognizance it may be best to simply use her as a tracker.

Per your suggestion I have shifted to using our newest member as a subject in the memory studies. This is an opportunity to test theory without losing valuable assets already engaged in other studies. Her recollection is scattered, and recounting has been terse in recordings, but I have been able to extract and review each shard at this point, and contrary to current theory she has not faded away into a Dusk with all of her memories now stored in my study rather than belonging to her. It has had some distressing side effects, mainly involving discipline and obedience, but that may be her element asserting itself in place of trained memory.
Castle Oblivion has been unable to remove body memory in the form of dance steps or ability to sew, but as these are not tasks that present themselves in the normal course of a Nobody's duties I do not feel they will be problematic. An interesting side effect of her source Somebody seems to be an unwillingness to allow damage to her lessers. Her first appeared today, a Ninja, and holding it vine wrapped served to focus her better than she has been recently. I will be using this method to reassert proper obedience to higher numbers.
* * *
Since my last communication Larxene has proven quite biddable. Given her weaker nature the number of Ninja joining her has been incredibly limited; it seems that three is her upward ability for the moment. I'll be attempting to imprint a new memory set upon Larxene to see if it will hone her abilities or reactions any. Lexaeus has been informed of the potential need to ground twelve should this prove problematic. A suitable memory set has been harvested from a donor female from Twilight Town, results shall be reported soon.
* * *
Imprinting foreign memories on a full Nobody seems problematic. Despite lack of biology it seems the imprints were treated as an infection. Cascading element use in place of fevers and three Ninja desperate to reach their higher. We lost the top three levels of Castle Oblivion, rebuilding is already in the works, and we have a new glass courtyard where she was eventually grounded. Fortunately she has failed to recall the incident even under memory probe, and has returned to her normal trained state.
I believe it best to reserve the memory imprint process for Dusk level Nobodies rather than any higher. Vexen and Lexaeus has proven completely uninterested in what they are terming an elemental fluctuation in one of our members, I have decided this is the best for our interests, and damages did not reach their labs in the sublevels.
As Larxene is no longer suitable for any of the study paths you require I am relegating her to reports and information collation. The secretary of Castle Oblivion if you would. Should you have any further ideas as to her use please contact me at your leisure.
To further memory research I will set her to looking for appropriate candidates for memory templates, heroes, soldiers, and the like. The hero tendency itself will not be useful, but I believe that to be hard coded to a heart more than memory, and the martial ability of a single hero is well worth the risk in containing one long enough to pull templates.
* * *
As per order from Marluxia I am forward all reports on memory study and world connection henceforth. Duplicates of these reports will also be filed for ease of reference in the archives of the World that Never Was. Castle Oblivion is fully functional after the previous accident and candidate lists for memory study have been supplied. These lists will be updated weekly.
