3 - video;
[Terra's seated on the floor of an empty room, legs crossed in front of him, his hakama a pool of tan folds spread out over hardwood flooring. He's slumped over some. The past month went on far too long and this one isn't showing any signs of improvement. Even the promise of Christmas in a few weeks can't shake off the frown that's etched on his face or rid him of the dark circles just starting to bruise the corners of his eyes.
Despite the nagging fatigue, he stares directly at the NV, expression serious, if not a little tense. He's also practicing The Voice He Would Have Used Had He Become A Wise and Powerful Keyblade Master.
It needs work.]
In a place like this, everyone should try to take care of the dangers that come from their own worlds. That's the responsible thing to do. The city has enough troubles with the Darkness and its own people. They shouldn't have to deal with monsters from different dimensions if there's something that can be done about them by the people and hearts who know them best.
[He pauses, gaze drifting down for a second or two. When he looks back up, his voice is sharper. To the point.]
There was a video of an old man on the network about a week ago. The old man with the books, reading some guy's poem? He calls himself Xehanort. I've been looking for him. Does anyone know where he is right now? That had to be some kind of library, but does anyone know which one? Or has anyone seen him lately? If you know anything about where he's at, please tell me. I know there's a lot of other things going on right now, but it's very important that I find him.
... That's all.
[He rocks forward, reaching toward the NV only to stop. Dropping back with a sigh, he goes on.]
Actually, there is one more thing. I've heard death isn't always permanent here, but it seems like sometimes it is? What makes it permanent? What can't people revive from?
[Private to Aqua, Ven]
[Sticking with the video already running, he stands and retrieves the NV. For his friends' sake, he tries to sound more cheerful.]
I found a new apartment. Had to settle for two bedrooms, but it's in a nice neighborhood. It should be a safe place for us to stay until we can afford something better.
[He points the camera at the windows nearby.]
It's got a good view of the sky, Ven.
[Private to Riku]
Some of the munny I borrowed should be in an envelop under your door tomorrow. I'll pay off the rest when I get more of these... paychecks.
