video ✤ Ⅰ

[If anything's obvious by the look on his face, it's that he's not incredibly happy with being here. At first, anyway. It's after the video pans away from his face for a moment, he has time to regain composure. When it's back on his face, his expression is very calm, even if it's still easy to tell that he's tense.]

Hello. My name's Terra... [That's a polite way to greet everyone, right?

The hint of awkward uncertainty in his voice might make it clear he's absolutely unsure of how to do this whole "talking to a ton of people all at once when you can't see their faces" thing. While he knows how to use this strange device, obviously, there are some things a simple explanation can't teach. In any case, he's moving on almost immediately:] I'm looking for some people...

[Where to even start... He actually doesn't know if this is the best way to go about it, but he has to find his friends... and he can't let Xehanort or Vanitas simply roam free if they're here.]

One of them is named Aqua; she's a young woman with blue hair and eyes. She's usually wearing clothes that match that color. Another is named Ventus. He's got blond hair and blue eyes, and he's wearing an outfit kind of like the one I'm wearing...

[Have a very quick view of his clothes: x-shaped straps, odd-looking thing on his shoulder, and all. When it pans back to his face, his expression is softer than before.] They're my friends, so I'd appreciate knowing if anyone's seen them or heard anything about them. Or, well... if either of you are watching this, please tell me.

[His next words come out as his face is tensing right back up:] Last, is a man named Xehanort and a masked boy named Vanitas...

[His expression darkens a little, and he's very quickly averting his gaze for a moment.] Xehanort's an older man with a bald head, white goatee, and golden eyes. As for Vanitas...

[One hand briefly rests on his chin, eyes lowering as he somewhat frowns.] His outfit is black and red. The black mask covers his entire head, so you won't be able to see his face... If any of you see the last two, please let me know as soon as possible.

[It's obvious he wants to say something else, but... that's it. That's all he'll be saying.]

[Sorey all but scrambles for his phone at the introduction, the name 'Terra' being familiar through his already having talked to Ven and all.]

Terr--ah! Ven's been looking for you and wondering if you were here! I mean, I think he said his place is in Heropa, but I'm not sure if that's the imPort city you're in?

He didn't mention any 'Xehanort' or 'Vanitas' though.

[Text can't properly express the relief he feels to know he's actually here and... close, at that.]

We're in the same city. You wouldn't happen to have an idea of which part he's in, would you?

Thank you. What's your name?

Edited 2016-10-07 05:37 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't quite that that detail. But someone else might've. Or he'll see this himself and say hi.

I'm Sorey.

That's all right. I'm just glad to know he's here. I'm sure you're right... Knowing him, he'll be responding the second he sees this message.

It's nice to meet you, Sorey. How long have you been here?

Right! I know I'd be worried if I hadn't already found Mikleo when I got here. It's always good to have a friend here to help out.

But let's see. I've been here for a few months now. I arrived with Mikleo in February I think it was.

[He knows who this is.

He knows who this is.]

You're Terra.

[He said that already, Riku.]

[There's a moment where he's just... staring at the screen. This young man is very familiar, and yet...]

... [There's a moment where he looks away, a look of realization briefly flashing over his face. His friend -- the boy with brown hair -- had called him...] ...Riku.

[Honestly, he might question this whole thing a lot more strongly if not for, well... literally everything he's been through lately. Even through the screen, there's this tug... a feeling of familiarity and warmth...]

You're the boy from the island... aren't you?

... Yeah.

You never told me your name, that time. I heard it from Mickey not that long ago.

[Riku shifts, so more of him comes into view -- he looks, aside from being older, quite different. The most different part is the pair of tiny bat wings on his back -- part of a power -- but his hair looks like it probably reaches halfway down his back, too. But beyond that, it's the same boy, if older. In fact, they look like they could be the same age.]

I wondered about it for a long time.

Xehanort... I know that name. He's a bad person, isn't he? Is that why you're looking for him?

[There's obvious conflict on his face. He doesn't want to go into all of that over this thing, especially without knowing the answer to a question of his own.]

There are several reasons I'm looking for him. Where did you hear the name?

[Well, like hell she's sharing that information if he's not sharing any either.]

That's not important. He's dangerous.

[He remembers him. From Riku's memories, he remembers him. He even knows that man named Xehanort. Nevertheless, he'll help the guy out.]

... I know you and where Ventus is. He's here in the city.

[Things that sound ominous: this message]

How do you know me? [...] Where is Ventus?

[Kagami switches to video, because what's the point of staying hidden. What Terra will see now is a younger Riku except with much shorter hair.]

It's a long story, are you willing to listen? As for your friend, he came here recently but I don't know his exact location.

[Honestly she wishes she could say she's not surprised anymore by the sudden influx of people from their world, but she still is. Unlike Sora and Xion and Ven, though, Terra is...Terra is certainly familiar, but she knows less about him than she does the others. She's seen him in Ven's memories before the trio's fateful journey, of course. And he is warm and kind there. But if he's as close to his final battle as she thinks he is, she can't presume to say anything.]

Master Aqua, Master Xehanort, and Vanitas aren't here. Ven is, though. [A quiet pause.] Riku is, too.

[His expression brightens just a little at the latter two not being here... but Aqua. Well... There are mixed feelings about her not being here. Is it a good thing? A bad thing? He doesn't know what's happening to her without her being here, and yet would her being trapped here be good for her, at all? It would be better, though, right? He has every bit of faith in her strengths and abilities, but...

After a moment of him sporting a tense expression, he finally nods.] Someone named Sorey told me about Ven... and Riku responded to this message. Thank you for letting me know about the other three.

[He's pausing for a while after that. Something about her feels... well... He can't put his finger on it.] What's your name? And... may I ask how you know about them?

[Sorey said that Ven hadn't said anything about Xehanort or Vanitas to him, but maybe his friend talked about them with this girl?]

My name is Naminé. Riku and his friends are my friends too. But you and Aqua and Ven...how I know about you three is a little more complicated.

[She pauses again.]

Has you spoken with Ven? I told him everything when he got here, but...

[Honestly, it might seem unbelievable at first.]

[lkajf! There is one of the people he'd been looking for when he first arrived two days ago. He'd been at work when this post had gone up on the network otherwise Ven would have been all over this sooner.]

Terra! You're here!

[Not yet caught up with all the things Terra's said because Ven is still stuck on the fact that his friend is here now.]

Where are you? Are you in Heropa? Just stay where you are and I'll come find you!

[Oh, Aqua. Yeah. Of course Terra would be asking about Aqua too even if the last time Ven saw the two of them together, they'd fought. It wasn't a good fight either - resulting in Terra walking away upset. His face falls a little bit at the thought of that.]

Aqua isn't here. Someone told me that the porter brings people in every few weeks so she might not show up anytime soon.

[The smile slips away entirely at the mention of those last two individuals. He was sure he'd gotten rid of Vanitas the last time they'd fought but that probably... wasn't true. And Ven definitely doesn't trust Xehanort anymore after what he did to Mickey.]

I haven't seen Xehanort or Vanitas either since I got here. Don't know if they are or not. If they are, they haven't shown themselves to me.

[He casts his eyes to the side, unsure of if he wants to say this over the communicator or to wait until they can talk alone.]

Terra, about Master Xehanort. I don't... [Nope, doesn't want to.]

We really need to talk in person.

[His expression is softer, as well as brighter. He'd already been told that his friend is here, but it's still a different thing entirely to see his friend. It's almost like having the fact solidified that much more.]

Ven... [He releases a quiet exhale, waiting for the other young man's stream of thoughts and words to finish.] I'm in Heropa, like you. I'm where some houses are right now... Actually, I'm standing in front of mine.

[He turns so that the camera lands on the number -- #034.] I can just meet you somewhere, though, if that would be quicker than you heading over here. I'm not super familiar with this place yet, but I'd rather learn my way around sooner, than later.

[His expression dims a bit, though, as he says the next thing.] We can save the talk about Xehanort for later, all right?

[Ugh, and he really hates seeing Ven making faces like that...] ...Why don't we get something to eat first? We can talk afterward.

[Ven is extremely torn between extremely happy that Terra is here and upset about so many other things. Of course he wants nothing more than to just race over to find his friend but has no idea where to start.]

Don't move! I'll be right there. We can go get something to eat together. [Now that he has an address, it'll be easier for Ven to find him. Already he's summoning his Keyblade and it transforms into a glider, which he jumps on and takes off towards housing.

It really doesn't take him long at all before he's flying over the houses towards number 034. Then drops down, his glider vanishing in a flash of light as Ven closes the last couple of feet on the ground.

As much as he wants to tell Terra everything he also doesn't want to overwhelm him and all those people up there... that's information overload. So Ven will just smile and look up at his friend.]

So what are you in the mood for? I haven't been here long but there's this diner that serves really good food not too far away.

[How many keyblade wielders are going to drop in this place?

Better question: when are all these people everyone's looking for going to show up? While Sora doesn't recognize the other the name Terra definitely sticks out, and if the emblem crest, the name drops about Ven, Aqua and Xehanort weren't enough? Nothing would be.

Still, this is one of those future things wasn't it? He was so far in their future and this man? Likely was from the past if this is the Terra that had been possessed by Xehanort.

He's silent for a few moments before he finally comes on screen: ]

Ven's here, but no Xehanort or Vanitas. Xehanort's back in the realm of light being a huge jerk probably, but when isn't he? [ However, he moves on. Xehanort after all is a sore subject. ]

My name's Sora. It's good to meet you, Terra.
