revenance_comms | Second Report - Necessity Is The...

[ The communicator clicks on, revealing the sunlit decore of Twilight Town. Sunset Hill, specifically, for those familiar with the location.

What should also be familiar is the statue in view of the camera. Not so familiar? The portal set at the base, the glow pulsing brightly. Invitingly, even. A pricklemane bounces towards it, then stops, tilting its head from left to right and waggling its ears in a show of interest. ]

This wasn't here when I passed by this morning. But it looks like the wait for something new to happen is over.

[ After 10 seconds or so of focus, the camera swings around until the firm frown of Lin Beifong is visible. ]

We don't know what might be through here, and securing a safe point on the other side is a priority. I plan on crossing over shortly. Anyone in Twilight Town is welcome to join me, but I recommend being ready for combat.

[ooc: this post is action/prose friendly! feel free to reply to Lin, or go ahead and do your own thing in a seperate thread. :D ]

[ She remembers you. Sora gets a nod. ]

Good. Once you're here, I think we'll have enough for an initial scouting party.

Aye aye.

[And you get a salute before the message cuts out. A couple minutes later, he's there in person.

He doesn't know what Nightmares are available in the new world, but at least he'll be able to give some info once he does know which ones are there.]

Whenever everyone's ready, so am I.

[Confident, him? Of course. At least until he get knocked down a peg or two.]

[ (That's not quite how they salute back home, but Lin will accept it for now.)

There's a faint snort at his declaration, but she seems more amused than annoyed. For now. Just don't get too cocky, kid.]

Were you present the last time one of these popped up?

Yeah.

[Sora held out his hand and summoned his Keyblade.]

The Keyhole can be opened or sealed with this. Last time, it opened right away. This time, it waited a few days.

[And he's a little bothered by the discrepancy.]

[ The Keyblade gets a stare. Then: ]

So, you're from the same world as Master Eraqus. [He'd mentioned swords like that. Hnn.] How long have you had one?

[ She can see he's bothered. She's not certain she understands why. Yet. ]

Was the use of that sword the only thing that triggered the portal opening?

The same set of worlds, I guess. And I've had this for a bit over a year.

[And then there's the fact that he's carrying the heart of another keybearer around with him and has been for a bit over ten years...

As to his concern, he'll try to explain as best he can if she asks.]

Normally. This time it the Keyblade wouldn't even react to the Keyhole until there were three people there. That was a couple days ago, though. I don't know why it waited to open up.

Is he your teacher? Or are there different schools for studying the keyblade arts? [Eraqus had implied a few things in regards to training, but she was curious as to what Sora might say, if anything.]

[ Her stern expression turns thoughtful as he listens. ]

[Hnn. She hates to speculate without solid proof.] Perhaps it was waiting for something. Three, you said? How many were present when the first keyhole was open?

No, he's not. I started out without a teacher and eventually met a friend of his. I don't know about different schools, but each master does seem to have their own way of teaching things. [Some less favorable than others XEHANORT.

Her speculation isn't too far off, though. It did seem to have been waiting.] When the first one appeared a lot of us showed up to check it out, but I don't know if that effected opening it. It probably didn't, though. As soon as it appeared, it was clearly visible. This one was just a vaguely keyhole shaped glow until there were three people there.

I see. So if you didn't have a teacher, how did you come to learn about the Keyblade?

Hmmm. It's worth not dismissing outright, I think. We may not be able to establish a pattern with the first keyhole, but we may with this one, and those that follow. Who else was with you to form the three needed?

It's capable of choosing its wielder. I had it before I found out what it was even called and didn't even have time to question it until I got to another world. And most of my information for a while was bits and pieces from people who only knew bits and pieces.

[In a nutshell, he didn't actually have a master until he met Yen Sid, which he's already mentioned to Eraqus.]

Lea and Wash were there.

[There's a long stare at Sora.] Even given the circumstances surrounding our being here, you realise that sounds like quite the folktale?

[Magic she can handle, she's a bender after all. But a weapon that picks its wielder?

..She'll have to ask Eraqus about that.]

I don't believe I've personally met Lea [watched Even explode in hilarious rage because of being linked to him on the shipping wall, yes, but that's not really an introduction] but I am familiar with Agent Washington. Were they also present when the previous keyhole opened?

Yeah, I was kind of surprised by that too. Apparently my case is a little weird too. From what I've learned since then, the Keyblade may make the final choice, but it still needs to be introduced somehow. And that didn't happen with me. [That being another thing he'd already mentioned to Eraqus. Maybe desperate times called for desperate measures and with its intended wielder having taken a header into darkness...

Not that the concept of choosy weapons had been foreign to Sora, but he'd never thought he would see it outside of fiction.]

He's... quite a character sometimes. [Yes, Sora had seen that too. While being amused at someone else's discomfort wasn't really very nice, it couldn't be helped sometimes and Even tended to make an easy target of himself.] Wash was there for the first one, but Lea wasn't.

I'm not familiar with the events or workings of your world, but it certainly sounds like you've had quite a time of it.

[If you had to be handpicked by a weapon of unusual properties typically reserved for a super secret society, there's likely a great deal more to be told than they have time for right now.

Lin plans to make time later.]

I'll take your word for it. [She hadn't seen much of that scienterrorist recently. Hopefully that wasn't a bad thing.] ..Interesting. Something to keep in mind for the next time around. Let's hope it won't be as long a wait as the previous occasion.

That's one way to put it. I can't say it's been a bad experience, though. I've seen interesting places and met interesting people.

[Oh there's so much to it. Sadly, Sora doesn't have all the details and he's not sure he fully understands what he does know.]

I don't -think- he's evil, but he's really not a nice guy... [And let's not even get started on the replica thing. Sometimes Sora tthinks it might have been a bad idea to ask Namine what had happened in CO...] Iguess we'll see.
