[01] || [Circumstances] || [Video]
I would advise against using the network, but given the circumstances there are no other options.
[ Have a Gandalf appearing on the screen- He looks dead serious, yet somehow calm. Anyone paying attention could notice he looks quite tired as well. ]
I need to know what happened in this tower before my arrival- From the first day people were ‘saved’. If there are people who could give me any relevant information, this would be highly appreciated.
I’m most interested in a child who has been mentioned a couple of time yesterday, I believe his name was Zo. From what little I have read, I assume something terrible must have happened.
[Text – Filtered to Princess Zelda, Fi and Xion]
I need to see the three of you as quickly as possible. Please come to the library as soon as you can. You know which one.
-- Gandalf
[ It is sent right after the video feed, and he won’t reply- What he has to speak about with them is too important to be discussed on the network. ]

[ He smiles as both Zelda and Fi protected their room- It was impressive magic. He was curiously of Xion's, Keyblade, but for now- ]
It's obvious he is under their control, what Zo said has to be taken with a grain of salt as well. I got close to the truth, but the boy's mind closed before I could obtain answers.
[ He pauses and breaths deeply. ]
But what he told me, and Jason said- I reached a conclusion. It is only an hypothesis, but it is a viable one.
I believe the people from our homeworlds are alive. All of them, they still exist and are prisoner of a state between death and life, not unlike the paralysis we suffer of upon "dying" in this tower. But they are alive, and the boy's punishment may have resulted from one of his attempts to wake them up.
[ Because this conversation obviously needed to have a good new. ]
[Action]
Gandalf's words snap her abruptly out of her reverie, however.]
You truly believe so? What are we to do then?
[Even if she still doesn't truly think the worlds are gone, she'll grab onto any hope she can. There must be something they can do, right?]
[Action]
I believe there may be a similar method possible here, however altered it must be.
[Action]
[Up until Fi's assessment that there were different worlds, Xion had never doubted that the idea that their worlds were gone was a lie. How else could Riku know about her future, what happened? It made no sense, that a world could be destroyed in different times for the same world.
As it was, the information was coming in fast enough that the full implications of any one idea hadn't had the time to sink in yet.
Fi sounds like they have an idea, though what she's talking about doesn't make much sense by itself. She bites her lip, and another thought occurs to her.]
The people Tower might have some way of doing it, if it's like the paralysis. They can wake us up from that, right?
[It'd probably be much more difficult for a whole world though, let alone dozens...]
[Action]
[ Indeed, there is too much information, too little time. They can't do that alone. ]
There is much that could be said. I have information, you have information as well. Study them, find answers. The four of us alone cannot do it, but we can start a movement that will.
[ To answer Zelda's question: ]
It is time. The free people of this tower have to unite and work together. There is a reason it is the three of you I have called. I need you to find and recruit those with the will to stand against our hosts, those who desire to revive our worlds and leave the tower.
[Action]
A movement...
[Because that prospect is one that she needs to dwell upon, for she knows what role Gandalf has her set to play. For all her bravado during the experiment, she's still quite uncertain about it all. She's failed so many times, and this is such a monumental task...
Pardon her, she needs to retreat into her own thoughts for a moment.]
[Action]
I am not sure how others will react to a construct such as myself attempting to recruit others to a single cause. I will however assist in any methods you deem necessary.
[Action]
[There's a sharp pang as she hears about Zo's plight. Given that she's fairly sure the Organization saw her as a tool, back in their own worlds...
As Gandalf continues though, she thinks. Work together? She can think of plenty of people who want to figure out a way out of the Tower, or at least more about it, so they can stop it from hurting their friends...
She has her own mixed feelings about leaving - knowing what awaits her at home, but she does know she doesn't want people like Sora to be trapped here. They deserved better than that.]
I can talk to my friends, at least. They'll probably want to help.
[Action]
[ He pauses. He's not sure if they're motivated, maybe a few words of encouragement- ]
Those in charge would have us believe we were picked at random, that there are no reasons as to why we woke up here. I do not believe this to be true. Hundreds of thousands people inhabit my homeworld. Yet, the only one inhabiting this tower besides me happens to be a close friend as well as one of those who fought the evil in my homeworld.
I am sure you have similar examples. There are other forces at work in this Tower besides the will of Evil. Your awakening in this tower is no coincidence. It was meant to happen, in which case we were meant to meet and decide how we would write our future. And believe me, this is a very encouraging thought.
[Action]
[Though she tries to hide it due to Xion's presence, she glances ever-so-slightly warily between Fi and Gandalf. How to put this... no one has mentioned anything about any sort of leadership yet, and she's certainly not going to bring it up directly, knowing what they think.]
... How do you suggest we organize? Allies may be fast and easy to find due to the circumstances, but gathering them all under a banner may only provide a facade of order over the chaos without a clear vision.
