[Black ice. When it first appeared it didn't seem too bad but he soon learned that he was mistaken. It was so slippery he could barely get a good grip on the ground to walk a couple of steps. Then he learned what it was and just sighed.

*A minute or two after Roxas has seated himself, the heavy wooden door behind him creaks open. Danny slips through the gap and closes it behind him, trying distractedly to trap some lingering warmth with a hastily thrown-on coat.*

Um--hey... *Danny's eyes go from the empty air where the corridor was to the fellow kid.*

This is probably kind of crazy, but--did you just... You, uh, wouldn't happen to have seen anything weird out here just now, would you?

[13thkey]

[Looks up at Danny. Did he see him walk out of it? Just to make sure though it was that and not something else-]

Weird like what?

[phantomfenton]

Um... Well... It may or may not have looked like a blackish swirly portal opening in mid-air for, uh, people to walk out of.

[13thkey]

...

[Yeah, he definitely saw him walk out of it. Going to take a quick bite of his ice cream before responding. He figured it Danny would find out eventually with how often he's been using the corridors lately.]

So you did see that then.

[phantomfenton]

Uh--Yeah. *Rubs the back of his neck.* Kind of.

*A couple of beats pass, before he sits down on the same stair as Roxas. His expression is a mishmash of awkwardness, hesitation, and burning curiosity, all rolled into one.*

... You, uh, don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

[13thkey]

It's fine.

[He trusts Danny so he doesn't mind explaining it. Who knows, maybe that trust is returned and he can ask some questions of his own if he's okay with it. Tries to show a small smile in hopes of making him feel less awkward before it returns to his normal look]

That was a Corridor of Darkness. It's... kind of like a portal.

[phantomfenton]

*And now that he knows he's not about to need to quickly retreat to let his friend keep his secrets, Danny lets some more curiosity show.*

Cool! I, uh, thought it looked like one.

Where does it go?

Excuse the fail >>;

[13thkey]

[Definitely noticing the curiosity showing, it was kind of hard not to.]

Wherever I want it to go. That one just now was from an ice cream shop in Somni to here.

Fail, what fail. I saw no fail.

[phantomfenton]

So... it's like a mini-personalized portal-thing?

Can you open it from just anywhere?

<3

[13thkey]

Sort of and pretty much.

:3

[phantomfenton]

... This is, uh, probably a really stupid question, and I'm guessing I already know the answer, but--can it go home?

Re: :3

[13thkey]

... It can't.

[Even if it could leave this place with it, the only thing waiting for him is merging with Sora again.]

Re: :3

[phantomfenton]

Oh.

*And what else can he say? He'd guessed as much, and he doesn't know the whole story.*

... You know, it kind of looks like something from back home.

[13thkey]

[Pulled out of his small funk by that. That was interesting.]

Really? What does yours look like?

[Also taking a bite of ice cream]

[phantomfenton]

*Rubs the back of his neck.*

Uh... it's more green than black.

*Hesitates again, before shaking his head a little, and shrugging. He's staring at the crushed snow around his feet, shuffling one of his shoes a little.*

Most of the time, though, those portals don't lead to other places in the human world. They go to the ghost zone.

[13thkey]

"Ghost zone"?

[Kinda curious as to what that is. He hasn't heard of it before.]
