[Probably one of the only times anyone he knows has really seen him livid. He's almost glaring at the screen as he addresses the feed.]

If anyone's around Goldenrod currently, I suggest you watch your back.

... I'm on my way to Goldenrod.

What's going on?

[She's already seen Vanitas' post-- but doesn't really -get- the implications, at least not for the people who have the bad luck to be from the same universe as the charming guy.]

[Video]

[landbreaker]

It's a long story.

All you need to know is if you see a boy with black hair and yellow eyes, don't look at him, don't talk to him, and don't stop walking. He's highly dangerous and has no mercy, it's for your own benefit if you avoid him.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... That guy.

Bit too late for that.

[Yeah, Heather kind of. Um. Already told him she'd be coming for him and his shiny helmet and that he wouldn't like it. ~*~OVERCONFIDENCE~*~.]

Tell me about him.

[Video]

[landbreaker]

[His patience is running thin, and so the next part comes out a little more curt than he intends to.]

Anything else I have on him doesn't concern you. I don't want to get more people involved than there already is.

[A pause and a sigh]

Just be careful. He's wrecked New Bark Town, he'd have no qualms with wrecking Goldenrod as well. If you're headed that way, you could warn people about him.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

[In turn, Heather's answer is also a little curt, but she doesn't really blame him for being that way.]

If he wrecked New Bark Town, then it is my business. We're all stuck in this world, not just whatever people he happens to have known before he got here. [...Not that she has any proof that's the case, but-- well, given the situation, she's got a hunch. The advice Terra had imparted in his original transmission is not dissimilar to what Heather herself would say if certain... individuals from her own past showed up...]

I'm not asking for a whole story hour.

Just information.

[... Y'know. In case what she'd promised actually came to pass. Which it might.]

[video]

[landbreaker]

[He gives Heather a hard stare, gaze searching for a moment before he speaks-]

... He's a skilled fighter. He wields a Keyblade just like Sora and a few of us so he knows what he's doing in fights. He was trained by a man named Xehanort who was a Master, which means he's not only tough, but strong. And since he's a part of Ven, that makes him fast too.

Not a lot of us here stand a chance against him, and taking him down is not an easy task. [He would know, after all.]

[video]

[foolishwren]

[She gazes back evenly-- she knows what that stare's for and as hardheaded and quick to snap as she usually is, he's got every right to be giving it so she'll deal.]

Keyblade...

[Some sort of sword?]

... I'll take my chances.

[For... possibly once, there's not actually any of the over-exaggerated haughty facade she usually pulls up over everything she says in that statement-- she means it and she's saying it almost somberly.]

If a confrontation happens, anyway.

Is there anyone else I-- .... anyone who might wind up crossing his path should know?

[video]

[landbreaker]

It's best if you didn't. If I wasn't around New Bark that time, "Mom" and the rest of the people there wouldn't have made it. If you're friends with Sora, I know he wouldn't want you getting hurt by him.

That's all I have on him right now. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this too. Just... warn as much people as you can when you get to Goldenrod or anywhere further than that. He's not above a repeat performance.

[video]

[foolishwren]

Tough or not, trained or not, I've fought things bigger and meaner than some bully who thinks that kicking "Mom"s ass makes him a big bad. If he's as violent as you say he is, someone's going to need to get in the way before something happens. Might as well be somebody who can hold their own.

... It doesn't have to be me, but it might be, so I just wanna be prepared. [Goldenrod's full of people and more than a few of them are probably just as willing to fight, so she's not counting them out.]

But I'll try and warn people.

[She pauses there. He'd mentioned Sora... and yeah, she was a friend of Sora's. ... She still needed to check up on him.]

Sora ... Is he okay? Do you know?

[video]

[landbreaker]

If you think you can, fine. But at least tell someone before you go off on your own. [He'd honestly rather he just take care of it himself, but as of now, he can't head off to Goldenrod just yet.

He shakes his head.] I've talked to him, but his Gear's broken, I wasn't able to talk to him for a long time. I've asked Riku to stay with him, so he should be fine.

Sora's strong, though. He's been through a lot and while this might seem impossible, we have to believe in him.

[video]

[foolishwren]

All right. Will do. [This wasn't gonna be another fog incident-- Heather knows better now than to take her chances when there's totally no chance of anyone knowing where she is and possibly intervening. Last thing she need's another warrant on her head, after all.]

.... Yeah. I can tell he's a tough kid. Still, I'd like to talk to him... [She supposed it could wait. Just as long as he was all right.]

...Uh.

I don't think I ever introduced myself to you.

Name's Heather.

Sorry for the serious business first meeting.

[video]

[landbreaker]

If you need him, you can try contacting Riku. I'm heading back to Violet soon with the others, so I'm going to try and find him.

[He shakes his head at that-]

It's all right. I'm Terra.

[video]

[foolishwren]

All right... I'll try something like that, anyway. ... Hope you find him. Good luck and everything.

And uh-- nice to meet you. Wish it was under better circumstances... I'm guessin' you're from the same place Sora and the helmet guy are, huh?

[video]

[landbreaker]

Thanks.

And yeah, I am. Though, when I met Sora he was still just a kid. He's grown up a lot.

[video]

[foolishwren]

... Yeah. I can tell-- I believe you.

[She might've just sort of thought he was a derp thus far, but Heather is the last person in the world who has any right to assume someone's anything just because they're young.]
