1st Quake | Video/Action

[The feeds is rather stable as it jumps on, showing the quite close face of a Moogle hovering in the First District.]

-how you activate the video feed, kupo! It allows you to communicate with every person present in the same world as you, kupo. But you should-

[The camera shakes and shifts as the moogle rushes after the new arrival, it was speaking to... tipping sideways as Terra's back comes into view, showing him walking down the stairs upon the plaza, head turning slightly from left to right and back again, right hand tight around Ends Of The Earth. A moment later the moogle is by his side again, the communicator (and the feed image) stabilizing.]

Kupo, kupo! Please, don't run off just yet, kupo! There is a lot that I still need to tell-

[He's cut off by an angry growl-snort as Terra fixates the moogle with a matching glance, face drawn into a tight frown.]

And I told you; I don't have time for this right now. I may not know what he is up to now, but I do know who's to blame for this.

Kupo, kupo! No, you have to list-

[Listening is about the last thing on Terra's mind as he takes a few more steps towards the middle of the plaza, voice growing louder as he calls out for the one that surely is to blame for all of this. ~~Because clearly. When in doubt, blame the old, bald guy! :|b~~]

Xehanort! Hey, Xehanort! Come out and face me, you coward.

[The Moogle watches as he continues to call for Xehanort, attempting to speak to him for one or two more times before just shaking its head.]

It's hopeless, kupo.

[And with that the feed cuts out.]

[ooc: And with that, Terra has finally arrived in the Realm of Dreams ~~after his mun keot failing for a week~~. orz

Also, Video replies are welcome, but given that Terra's communicator is still with the Moogle, he won't be able to answer, until someone comes around and calms him down. |D;]

[Ah. There's Ven, and though Aqua's not surprised at the speed of his arrival, she is glad she's not the one who's being barreled into. It's true that she hasn't mentioned everything, or even nearly half of everything, but that's less important when Terra's here.

She doesn't have anything much to say, though. Ven's arrival has pretty much made anything she might have said irrelevant at best, and she's certain there's going to end up being another round of question in short order. For now, though, she's content to take a quiet moment on the sidelines.]

[Terra turns just in time to catch sight of that fast approaching blur of blond-black-white-green, instinctively taking a step back for better footing, but even that doesn't save him from having the air knocked out of his lungs when Ven launches into him.

Not that he minds. Really far from.

Instead he wraps his arms around the younger Keybearer the moment finds his ability to breath again, one around his shoulders, the other hand settling on top of his head, gently ruffling that wild hair.]

Ven.

[He is whole. He is safe. Aqua had said so already, so he had known, but... seeing it makes everything much better.

And hopefully this rather enthusiastic reception means that he won't have to hear anymore talk about putting an end to anybody either. ...Except Xehanort. He'd totally be down with that.

Though given that the old man has yet to make an appearance...]

[Well... that's... debatalbe, really. Whole and well? Considering the realm they're in, he probably isn't - those memories of choosing to destroy his own heart didn't come from nowhere, after all. Actually Ven isn't too surprised to find himself inthe realm of sleep if he ended up anywhere after all that; it's more distrubing to him that somehow Aqua and the Master and now Terra have ended up there, too. It means he didn't protect them like he wanted to.]

[But at the moment that doesn't matter, because all that matters is that Terra is there and the family is whole again. He even lets Terra get away with the hair ruffle - this time. It's your only freebie, bro.]

Don't take so long again.

[In so far as she's aware, Aqua is perfectly whole. Dreaming, yes, but whole. The other's she's less certain of, but she's fine, if perhaps a little bit lost.

(She should, perhaps, actually explain everything, but it's awkward enough as things stand, with their Master back. Plus she's not even certain when Terra's from yet, and his part in the tale is one that she's loath to spring on anyone unawares even if that someone is Terra himself.)

Instead she offers a nod of agreement at Ven's comment. She might not have used those same words, but the sentiment is more or less the same.]

We missed you.

[Well, Terra was whole and himself last that he was aware of... though given the last few things Xehanort had told him, just before he had released his heart, just before Terra had had the presence of mind to activate his armor, and then... then he had woken up here.

...Where ever here was, anyways.

And now that he starts thinking about it not knowing just how exactly he, they all, had ended up here, and what world this is in first place, really is starting to bother him. Hence, the rather confused look he shoots Aqua over Ven's head... because well... despite the situation, despite the battle afterwards... it has been not all that long since he's seen the both of them last in the Keyblade Graveyard.

So he decides to keep from commenting either of their statements and just go for the question that seems to become more and more pressing with every passing minute.]

...Where are we? What is this world?

[...Had Xehanort sent them all here?]

Uhh... [And now Ven will pull back so he can see Terra's face, and Terra can see his. It's pretty clear he doesn't fully understand everything that's going on, but he will explain what he knows and he's telling the truth, as far as he's aware of.] We're in the Realm of Sleep. According to the moogles here, after the worlds were swallowed by Darkness... [There's a pause, then he goes on.] Not all of them were brought back completely. Some of them were still "asleep," in a realm sort of in between everything else. That's where we are now - this world is one of them, but we haven't seen any other worlds yet. This might be the only one that's left. We-

[He's interrupted by a screeching from behind the group, from the direction he came, and he turns to glance over his shoulder. Whatever it is is still invisible behind the buildings, but apparently something is familiar to him about that noise, because Ven sighs and shakes his head a little.] Just a second, I'll be right back.

[And there he goes, trotting off at his usual jog back the way he came, in the direction of that noise.]

[Aqua shakes her head as Ven heads off in the direction he came from, but makes no real attempt to follow. If he says he'll be back, he'll be back, and at any rate, she can at least follow up on what Ven has already offered.

Honestly, he's taken care of most of the explanation. But that certainly isn't enough to stop Aqua from adding her own comments.]

He's right. We don't really know enough about the sleeping worlds to know how many there are.

[Terra lifts his arms when Ven pulls back, letting his arms fall back to his side. There's a bit of a confused frown settling on his face - he is kind of missing an explanation on just how they had gotten here in first place, but... Patience. They are just getting started, probably.

The sleeping worlds... the worlds that were swallowed by Darkness... were they referring to that story... the story of the origin of the worlds.

He crosses his arms as Ven zips off, shaking his head, lips twitching into a small smile for just a second, before he grows serious again. He might have told himself to be patient, but this question just can't wait... It's better that Ven is not here for that anyways.]

Aqua... the last thing I remember before ending up here is fighting Xehanort. It's strange... I thought I finally managed to corner him, but then...

[He stops, shaking his head, still feeling the same fear race through him as he had back at that moment, when...]

There was this pillar of light... Xehanort said it meant that the x-blade had been forged. After that... he did something to his heart... he called my Darkness his arc... I tried to defend myself, but...

[He has no idea if he succeeded. Though, given that he is here now, that they all are...]

...Are we...?

[Dead?]

[Well, that confirms her suspicions about Terra's place in the timeline. It doesn't make things any easier, but it helps place him into the sprawling mess that is their comparative timelines.

(She wishes she could be surprised that she's from the furthest out by her count, but given her luck it seems only right that she not have any actual confirmation of how her desperate gamble turned out.)]

It was formed. I saw it.

[Saw Ven in the grip of another, and it had almost hurt to raise her blade to him but she hadn't been about to let someone who wasn't even Ven strike her down, much less use her friend's body to do so.]

We aren't dead though. It was destroyed before he could use it.

[He exhales, eyes closing as he processes that new information... eyes closing as he relaxes just a fraction. So Vanitas had succeeded... but Aqua had then put a stop to him...

Still, he can't help but throw a worried look to where Ven had run off to... He doesn't know just how exactly the x-blade was forged, but... something like that couldn't possibly happen consequence free.

...So far, Ven hadn't seem any different than before though.

...

...Maybe, it was alright. For now anyways.]

...And Xehanort?

[Yeah, about that. Unharmed is far from truthful about his own situation, definitely as far as his own memories go. But, whatever's going on with the timelines, why they all come from different times and have slightly different memories, he doesn't know and frankly he doesn't care about right at the moment. Terra's finally here - things are going to be all right, now.]

[Footsteps thump along the cobblestones as Ven comes back at his normal half-trot - followed by two multicolor weird-looking oddly shaped animals, obviously some derivative of a bat and a lizard but not really recognizable as either. He's speaking to the two of them, and as he gets closer his voice comes more clearly.]

-need to behave, okay? No trying to land on his head or climb up his leg. You guys have to stop doing that.

[That last bit will likely never, ever come to pass, but it's worth a shot. Ven covers the last few steps, smiling at them as he arrives next to them again.] Sorry - they get anxious if I go away suddenly, and they probably would've run into us if I hadn't gone to get them.

[There were consequences, yes. Aqua's still loathe to mention them, given that things are comparatively stable just at the moment, but there were most certainly consequences.

On the other hand, she has it on good faith that Ven isn't actually dead, barring any extremely unfortunate circumstances, and that's good enough for her. (It has to be really; there's not a whole lot she's been able to do from the realm of darkness.)]

I haven't seen him since the fight ended. Wherever he went, he's not here.

[Not unless Terra's brought him along and she really doesn't want to try and bring up that topic just now, when it looks like things will actually be nice for a change.]

[Consequences are consequences, certainly... but if non of them seemed to be in effect here, did they really matter?

After all, Ven is here, Aqua is here... and Xehanort isn't...]

That's something at least.

[It's a start. And hopefully they'd be able to figure it all out from thereon out.

He frowns over Aqua's shoulder when he hears Ven returning... and blinks when he sees just what he is bringing whit him there?]

...What are those?

[...They aren't Unversed. But... they are Darkness, aren't they?]
