# 001 { VOICE - ACCIDENTAL }

[noctambulous]

(low, indistinct noises can be heard; someone's groaning in what seems to be pain)

Hey... Hey!

(the noises are clearer, the voice closer)

Is this a piece of DiZ's machine?

(ambiant noises are muffled and clear and muffled again as the voice recorder seems to be examined, and then suddenly dropped)

My body... (a quick pause, and a body shifting

It seems that a lot of people know of someone who could have done this. What suspiciously colourful lives we're all leading.

[ Hello, Riku! You're getting a suspicious look when Hazama finally flicks on the video. It's not the most amiable greeting, but he laces his fingers together and smiles after the moment. ]

... Welcome to Nuadoria. Never heard of your friends, I'm afraid - but I'm not a veteran. Don't mistake it for home, even if you see a familiar face.

Home..? Who are you? This isn't Nuadoria, this...

[hesitation, groaning, then a sigh giving hints of surprise]

How did I end up here?

Aaa, well. Regarding 'how', there's no trick to it. Apparently the city just likes making its own impromptu visitors; maybe it's trying to aggressively kick-start its own tourist industry. There's no trick to getting home, either, I'm afraid. You're here for the duration, just like the rest of us.

-- I'm Hazama, by the way. NOL Intelligence Department, but it doesn't stand for much here. And you are?

Somewhere you probably don't want to be.

[Lol he doesn't really care about explaining things to you Riku :| but he will leave you with this knowledge, since he remembers you.]

Kairi is here. I'm sure she'll find you eventually.

Riku! [Confused pause as she tries to understand what he meant. She's so relieved to hear from him, but...] ... Did something happen?

Re: [voice]

[noctambulous]

Kairi!

[A little sigh can be heard, giving hints of a smile]

I've recovered my real body. Guess he was right, he did say that anything could happen. I just wasn't expecting it to blow up so fast.

[metallic noises]

So this is a recording device. Kairi, what's this place?

[short pause, hesitation]

Where's Sora? And where are you?

[voice]

[radiantdestiny]

Just now...?

[People have said that time is different here, but does that mean he's from back then?]

It's a city called Nuadoria. [She still doesn't know a lot about it, so she sounds a little unsure even saying that much.] I haven't seen Sora in a while now. I thought he might be with you.

[To keep from dwelling on that last note, her tone gets lighter.] I'm safe though, I've made some friends here.

Re: [voice]

[noctambulous]

Just now.

[long pause]

Nuadoria... This is the second time I hear this name now. It doesn't make sense!

[He clears his throat, mumbling slightly, a little confused.]

He was with me. You were with me. What the hell happened? I remember the explosion... and then this.

[He frowns as her last few words sink in, only adding to his confusion. Friends? Here? In a matter of minutes?]

Kairi..? H-How long have I been gone?

[His hesitant voice betrays his trouble as distressful thoughts flashes through his mind; something definitely isn't right.]

[twistedamnesia]

Seems like some of the residents were already able to answer some questions. But, what can I do to offer my help?

[revivingruin]

What's a DiZ?
