First Shard || [Accidental Video]

[darkened_earth]

[There's a loud clatter as this person's PORTAL is sent to the floor and activates, right in time for a voice to be carried through it.] --what?! No!

[The speaker--shouter, really--appears to have run to the mirror in his room and is staring at it, his shoulders visibly trembling with barely-held back anger.] No... I can't be... this isn't--

Yeah... I've had one for years. [... this is hard to answer. This is weird--he remembers an energetic four-year old, and... reconciling that with the teenager he's talking to is a little difficult.] Sora... the last time I saw you, you were four years old.

Years...? [ so has he, but it's only been a few years. so where has Terra been while Sora's been fighting? the last thing he hears, though, makes him jerk. ]

--no way! I'm fifteen now! I didn't meet anyone like you when I was--

[ ... ... wait. ]

[Not sure if he wants to say more. ... he's already said enough. Might as well explain a few more things.] You're not the only one that's confused. For me, it wasn't that long ago.

[And he didn't actually talk to you.] ... I doubt you'd remember me; we didn't even talk to each other.

[ultimarecipe]

You talked to Riku. [ he says it as if it was obvious, even if he's just remembering it. ] You told him something important.

[darkened_earth]

[Consider him surprised.] That's right.

[ultimarecipe]

He kept saying it was a secret and he couldn't tell me. [ a moment. ] ... if you're him, how come you look the same?

[darkened_earth]

[Good. Very good. But looking troubled at that question.] I don't know. It hasn't been that long for me--maybe a couple of days.

[This makes absolutely no sense.]

[ultimarecipe]

But it's been years... [ he frowns and crosses his arms. ]

[darkened_earth]

[... this is going to give him a headache. He just knows it.] I don't understand it, either.

[ultimarecipe]

[ he wants to ask more, but he knows right now, Terra needs information, just like he needed it. ]

I'm gonna send something to you, okay? It's stuff people gave me when I first came here. Maybe it'll help.

video;

[darkened_earth]

[... Send him something? ... well, if it's information, he definitely needs it. Nodding a little.] Okay.

[ to Terra, maybe it just seems as if new pages are being added and flipped to in his journal--three pages: one, two, and three. ]

video;

[darkened_earth]

[The video is going to flicker off for a bit as the sound of pages being turned is heard; Terra remains silent for a while as he reads over the information.

When the video flicks back on, he's... looking very thoughtful. And still somewhat troubled; this didn't answer everything, but it definitely covered a lot.] Thanks, Sora.

[A pause. There's... one question he'd like to ask, and it doesn't relate to any of the info there, but it's been bothering him.] ... how exactly did you learn about the Keyblade?

video;

[ultimarecipe]

Huh? Oh--

[ he summons Ultima Weapon in a flurry of sparks. ] 'cause I have one.

[darkened_earth]

[That's not what he was expecting to hear; second brain-break of the day, Sora. You're on a roll.] You--but--

[A pause, and he shakes his head.] Aqua... of course... who else would've?

[Well. This is something he knows; he can concentrate on this.] Did you and Riku ever find anyone to train you two? It... sounds like I wasn't able to ever return to do that.

[Bit guilty about this, even if... no, it couldn't be helped.]

video;

[ultimarecipe]

... we were supposed to be trained? [ blank stare, Terra.

wha? are you saying he could've been trained instead of having to claw his way and fail over and over again so he finally succeeded at this Keyblade thing? are you telling him someone could've just told him what to do? ]
