[video] + [text] - backdated to before start of collar event

[prayerless]

[When the feed comes on, Aqua is smiling warmly, though she looks somewhat weary.]

Hello. My name is Aqua. Some of you know me. Most of you probably don't, though.

I'm actually doing this to make an announcement. If it's not too much trouble, I'd like everyone from any world where the Keyblade exists to respond to this message. There's been some confusion lately, and I think different...

[She pauses. It's clear by her expression that she's searching for an appropriate term.]

...timelines, may be involved. It's lead to aggression before -- I just think, considering the circumstances, we should try to at least be polite to each other, if not work together.

[Her smile wavers a little, replaced by quiet reservation.] I know not everyone will agree to this, but I'm sure it will be helpful in the long run if as many people respond as possible. There's a form below this that I'd like if people could fill out. Feel free to lock your response to only me if you would be more comfortable doing that.

I'd also like to make another call for the people who have been taking magic lessons with me. I know it's been hard to keep up with because of the...chaos. But, our meeting place will stay the same, and anyone is welcome to find me in room 1-07 if they need me on a day that we haven't scheduled lessons.

And, for those who have Keyblades...I can teach you, too. If you want me to.

[Her lips tilt upwards again.] Thank you all very much for your time.

[The feed cuts off. As promised, there's a form for all the KH cast to fill out!]

What is your name?
How old are you?
Are you a Keybearer?
Did you ever apprentice under a Master?
If you did, what was their name?
Have you learned under more than one Master?
List their names, if you have.
Would you consider yourself to be of the light, or of the darkness? Both? Neither?
Do you have anything you'd like to ask me?

I always have time for you, Ven.

[prayerless]

I'm glad to hear it. :)

Is there anywhere else you'd rather train besides the twentieth floor?

[text]

[lamentless]

:)

No, I think that should be fine.

[There's hesitation, then the rest of the comment is locked.]

I'm just embarrassed, considering everyone else seems to know this stuff already. I guess this is what I get from running from it.

[attheclocktower]

[To say Xion was confused about all this was an understatement. And there are a lot of questions - ones she can't even put words to. She's locking this post, that's to be certain.]

What is your name? Xion
How old are you? I'm not sure
Are you a Keybearer? Yes
Did you ever apprentice under a Master? No
If you did, what was their name?
Have you learned under more than one Master? No
List their names, if you have.
Would you consider yourself to be of the light, or of the darkness? Both? Neither? I don't know.
Do you have anything you'd like to ask me? You can teach the Keyblade?

[prayerless]

It's nice to meet you, Xion.

Yes, I can. Are you interested in learning?

[text] [locked]

[attheclocktower]

[There's a bit of a pause before she replies.]

Yes.

I'm not sure if I can for a while though. I ran into some monsters a while ago.

[Sucks when your Keyblade arm is injured.]

[lethechained]

What is your name? Naminé
How old are you? 15
Are you a Keybearer? No
Did you ever apprentice under a Master? No? [Unless Aqua herself counts.]
If you did, what was their name?
Have you learned under more than one Master? No
List their names, if you have.
Would you consider yourself to be of the light, or of the darkness? Both? Neither?
Do you have anything you'd like to ask me?


[... There's a suspiciously large amount of this that she didn't fill out.]

[text]

[prayerless]

[Fortunately, Aqua knows Naminé is a bit cagey about her past. She hasn't met more than one Naminé yet, so it's fine for the time being.]

Thank you for responding. :)

[lethechained]

You're welcome. I'm glad I could help.


[A pause.] Did you make it through the night? [It's not that she wants to bring that event up, exactly, but-- she wants to know if Aqua and Ven were alright.]

Voice.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[It takes a while for this one to respond, both because of his own mixed feelings towards his Aqua and because well.

It's Aqua. He killed her once, but she came back - He wasn't even sure what she was. (If he'd ever been told, it'd been forgotten or pushed aside). She was with Eraqus the last he knew. Still... A sigh and then - the feed is fumbled, and shows what looks to be an older blonde with a blindfold before it swaps to voice.

He sounds something like an older Ventus. Only much more passive.] ....I ...have a keyblade.

[He's hestiant, very much so. Too many 'bad memories' and assoications with Aqua make him reluctant to speak out, but at the same time..... he has only been.... rewarded, after a fashion... for his curiousiy. Meaning that nothing 'bad' has happened.] Please m-make the form verbal. I will will fill it in that way.

[voice]

[prayerless]

[...wow. His voice sounds...very, very familiar.

But, she can't jump to conclusions, even if the brief clip of him she'd seen showed that he looked familiar, too.]

Alright.

[In a warm, patient voice, she lists off the questions. And then, after a pause:] Do you want me to repeat any of them?

Re: [voice] /breaks brains a little?

[drknss_bnd_lght]

... My name is Ventus. I ... don't know how old I am. Maybe 22. [It's closer to 24.] I am a keybearer.

[And then there's a really really long pause at the next one that he needs to answer. Finally, it comes out though.] Yes.... Eraqus and Vanitas.

[That last one? Is exteremely complicated and it's not even true per-say because Vanitas does not count as a Master, but all he knows now... he did learn from his Other. Anyway, he continues without explanation.] Yes. Xehanort. Eraqus. .... Maybe Aqua.

[Again, complicated. But hey, he's truthful.] ..... I am a tool of the darkness. It does not matter what I am.

[...We hope that you did not break your brain, Aqua.]

[tempustemporum]

OOC

[tempustemporum]

gjsdfkgdjk that was text.

[text]

[prayerless]

That's alright. Thank you for responding anyways. :)

But, are you sure about that? There have been Keybearers in every history book I've ever read. It's very strange that they would all be gone.

[text]

[tempustemporum]

They have certainly been in the history books, but that is all.

[keybearer]

Aqua?

[...okay, that name is definitely familiar, and she looks familiar, too. Didn't she...?]

What is your name? Riku
How old are you? 15
Are you a Keybearer? The only one around besides my replica.

[And King Mickey, but he doesn't know that.]

Did you ever apprentice under a Master? No. I had to learn on my own.
If you did, what was their name? N/A
Have you learned under more than one Master? N/A
List their names, if you have. N/A
Would you consider yourself to be of the light, or of the darkness? Both? Neither? Light and darkness don't matter to me. I follow my own path, and frankly? If somebody's causing trouble in the worlds, I'll face them no matter what they use.
Do you have anything you'd like to ask me? Ever been to Destiny Islands?

[text]

[prayerless]

[...hm. The Riku she'd encountered before had recognized her immediately. So is this one...?]

I have, actually. :) Do you remember?

[text]

[keybearer]

Yeah. I mean, it's hard not to forget people showing up back home. Doesn't happen very often.

It's just been so long.

[Voice - Locked]

[justabignobody]

[Well uh... he's going to ignore that form, okay? There is really only one thing he'd like to talk about anyways.]

I have a request.

[voice] [locked]

[prayerless]

[She's sure she recognizes that voice. There are two Rikus running around, but the other one has already responded. So it must be the first one she met.

She greets him with warmth.] What is it?

[voice] [locked]

[justabignobody]

[Okay this maybe sorts of throws him off, but well... better get to business.]

....A while ago Sora - the one from my universe - arrived here. Even more recently a mutual friend of ours, a girl named Kairi, was drawn into the tower as well. I'm not sure if either of them will see this, so I'd like to ask you on their behalf to teach them.
