[The pocketwatch feed comes on suddenly, fixed on a less-than-pleased face, lips pursed in the beginning of a rather sardonic expression. He's figured out that what he has in his hand is a communicator, he just doesn't know who he's communicating with.] I'd like to know whose idea of a joke this is. Because I'm not really seeing the punchline.

[Aqua felt pretty bad that she hadn't had the chance to say hello to Dimitri when he'd arrived. So even with the worlds crappiest cold, she flicking open her watch and smiling comfortingly.]

I'm sorry but you're stuck here. Nobody got you into this but the Watcher and Interloper. Or their guests. I'm not really sure anymore, who brings us and who is just messing with us.

[damn_it_man]

[Sorry, Aqua. The face that's being made at you isn't really at you. It's at this information.]

Stuck here? And who exactly are those people? [Sounds like title.] Look, I just have to get a communication up to my ship, and to hell with stuck here. If you're stranded, I'm sure we can get you home on the way. Or at least to a starbase you can catch a ride from there.

[Oh, not to worry. Plenty of people make faces at hearing about the city.]

I'm not exactly sure, I never met them. I've only ever spoken with... Temper Vale, I think. He's supposed to be a friend of the Watcher and Interloper. Or akin to that.

I don't think you'll be able to get a hold of them. There's no way to leave. I tried opening the path to the Lanes Between once but I just walked through to the other side of the portal.

[He is liking the sound of this less and less. In fact this city is giving him a headache in record time.] ...Lanes Between? Afraid I'm not familiar with that place.

[He shakes his head a little.] Look, Miss, I don't meant to be crass or take my frustration out on you, but this is a damn screwed up mess. And I'm hoping it's a concussion.

The Lanes Between are the pathways between each world. My order and I travel to each world to protect them.

[Aqua nods and sits up against her headboard.] It's okay, I understand. A lot of people are frustrated when they get here. At least we can have a semi-comfortable stay here. There are plenty of empty apartments, some are furnished because their previous residents have already left the city. And the food is free, along with everything else. Which is great, I didn't bring a lot of munny.

[Aqua laughs very softly, only to cough of tiny bit and sip at a cup of peppermint tea.]

My name is Aqua.

Your... order? [He feels like he fell through the rabbit hole here. Maybe like he's still falling.]

So we're provided for, huh? What's the point of keeping us here to begin with?

[A pause and he inclines his head just a bit.] Name's McCoy. Leonard McCoy.

Look, if I'm stuck here for however long it is, are there medical facilities in this place? Hospital? Clinic? ...Dentist's office?

Keybearers. I'm the Master of an order of people with the potential to wield a Keyblade.

[Sorry, that's Sora's area. Aqua never visited that world ^.~]

Entertainment, actually. Think of it as a game and we're the pieces. Very well kept pieces.

That, I can give you good news about! There's a clinic near the cathedral, Christine ran it while she was here. It's pretty well kept. I've been volunteering time there when I can.

[Video]

[damn_it_man]

Keybearers and keyblades. [Ok here's the obvious question.] So then... what do these keyblades unlock?

[...entertainment. The news gets better and better. And better. But actually the bit about the clinic is encouraging.] Great. That's good to hear. Maybe I'll start there. [Wait.] Christine? [...couldn't be. It's just a common name.]

[Video]

[asapphireheart]

Everything. Heart, doors, chests, the paths between worlds. They can also lock things.

[Aqua smiles and nods then gets a bit sad. She misses Christine.] Yeah, Christine Chapel. She was really good at taking care of everyone that got sick or hurt.

[Video]

[damn_it_man]

...uh huh. [This sounds suspiciously like a fairytale.

But all at once he's not even thinking on that.] Nurse Chapel was here? In this city? [Well if Christine was running the clinic maybe there's hope yet for some modern convenience.]

[Video]

[asapphireheart]

[Well, she can't force anyone to believe.]

You know her? She was, yes and for quite a while too. Christine was already here when I arrived last October.

[Video]

[damn_it_man]

I do. She serves on the Enterprise with me. She's a very capable, dependable medical officer.

[Video]

[asapphireheart]

She really is. Too bad she's not still here, having the both of you would really do the city some good.

[Video]

[damn_it_man]

[McCoy nods in agreement at that.] It would have. But as it is, I'll do what I can.
