Message 18: Darkness Falls Across the Land

[unrecovered]

[For those of you who are good at body language or just know Wash, the tilt of that helmet does not look happy. At all.]

The lights on the Mother of Invention are set to ship's night. It's barely afternoon and already sunset in Ponyville. Twilight Town looks like it's five minutes away from being full-on night, and in Traverse Town, the stars are gone. No cloud cover or anything - just gone.

On top of that, this- [He pulls out the empty AI chip and holds it up for the camera to see] - has started speaking in full sentences. In Sora's voice. About how he can't hold them off anymore, and how we need to find him and fight.

If anyone knows anything, now would be a really good time to say so.

For now, don't go anywhere alone. The last thing any of us need is to be ambushed by this "them."

[Sora, unfortunately, is just as clueless.]

I... have no idea what this is about.

[Other than that it's slightly disconcerting that he seems to be the one bringing everyone here somehow. But he can't exactly change that now. He can, however, do everything possible to make sure everyone gets out of this okay.]

Hmm. It might be a good idea to go and check on the Keyholes...

[unrecovered]

[Yeah, he kind of figured.]

You said you'd been to the dream world before, right? What exactly happened last time you were here?

[It may not be relevant, but Wash is willing to take that chance.]

Take someone with you.

[dork_of_keys]

[It's not the first time, but he usually manages to get by anyway.]

Well, Riku and I were here to wake up a few sleeping worlds. And to take a test. That test was kind of hijacked and that was when Xehanort almost made a puppet out of me. But Riku got me out of that.

[Sora doesn't doubt the possibility that the two things could be connected. He's just not sure what the connection could be exactly. They'll probably be finding out soon enough, though.]

I was planning to.

[He just hasn't decided if he's going to ask someone or see who he bumps into on the way. His Spirits, meanwhile, protest the idea that they somehow don't count as bringing someone along.]

[Back the fuck up]

When Xehanort almost WHAT?!

[He's. Not gonna let that go. Because that sounds like a big fucking deal.]

You think that might be important?!

[dork_of_keys]

[Whoops. Sora thought he'd mentioned Xehanort's plan needing 'vessels' and that he'd almost ended up being one of them. Looks like he might not have. Either that or Wash just wasn't one of the people he told.]

Er... I thought I'd mentioned it already...

[Hoo boy. Of course, if he did mention it, it was probably quite a while ago. Maybe long enough that it was kind of forgotten./i>]
