Message 06. Lighting Fires

[unrecovered]

Everyone's been talking about finding the keyhole or the pieces of the keyhole or whatever. Here's my question: has anyone actually started looking yet?

[Oh look, he disapproves of all of you. Yep, still Tuesday.]

[revenancemods]

Nothing happens.

[eternalfrolicbond]

Think the nosy armor guy is still watching? Maybe we just need more people...or more keyblades.

[Lea turns to his communicator.]

Hey, are you still there?

[unrecovered]

[Hey, he's got your name memorized; try returning the favor, asshole.]

You're going to have to be more specific. There's several of us.

Yeah, I'm here.

[You want him to come topside, you're going to have to ask. He's being a stubborn grumpy jerk today.]

[dork_of_keys]

[There are a number of things Sora could comment on here. Lea's hypocrisy, the accuracy of his statement, the fact that not all the armored guys are annoying, Wash being an easy target sometimes... although for that last one, Sora doesn't actively pick on Wash when the opportunities arise. Partly, it's because the man obviously catches enough of that crap as is and partly it's because he has a short temper and a gun.]

Huh, it appeared when I got here. It got clearer when Lea got here. We both have Keyblades...

[The wheels are turning. It seems possible they may need to get more Keybearers here.]

[eternalfrolicbond]

[Lea winces; you totally weren't meant to hear that, Wash.]

Sorry, Wash. Would you come up here so we can see if having three people makes this thing work? Might need another keybearer, but maybe not.

[unrecovered]

[Then you probably shouldn't have said it.]

I'll be there in a minute.

[A few minutes later, he comes trudging up the hill, Fang and Melody in tow. In all honesty, he was interested in seeing the Keyhole himself...and somehow he'd wound up involved even though he'd said he wasn't going to be. Of course.]

[revenancemods]

[At Wash's arrival, the keyhole glows brightly. When the light dies down a bit, the keyhole's outline is sharp - it's obvious that this is the real thing.]

[Both Sora and Lea will find their Keyblades reacting to the keyhole now.]

[dork_of_keys]

[Well then. Sora almost lets out a small laugh at the fact that three people present does it. It's familiar, though it also makes him sort of miss Donald and Goofy.]

Probably should have expected that.

[He raises his Keyblade again, satisfied that it'ss responding to the Keyhole now. What world was waiting for them this time?]

[eternalfrolicbond]

[Lea raises his keyblade as well; it seems to want to do it, without him needing to tell it anything. A beam of light shoots from the keyblade stragith into the keyhole.]

Three's the magic number.

[revenancemods]

[With a bright flash of light and an audible click, the keyhole opens, then disappears. The subtle glow left in its place is a good indication that it's likely to come back at some point in the future.]

[unrecovered]

[Wash just watches. Welp. Add that to the list of weird shit he's seen here.]

Well, that was fun.

[dork_of_keys]

[Actually that was weird. Sora scratches his head, thinking.]

It'll be more fun when the way to the next world appears.

[But why isn't it now? He's almost not sure that he wants to know why it's being delayed, but it's likely they'll find out whether they want to or not.]
