first [video]

[At first the communicator wasn't showing anything but darkness, and there was only a small groan. A soft shuffle of cloth and the sound of something sliding across a wet ground, before the screen started to brighten as.. the person rolled over

... You always feel other people's dreams?

[alternateblue]

[Hello, voice out of nowhere!] No, just Sora's.. [Wait. That's not a voice he recognizes as anyone Sora or himself would know.]

... Uhh, who are you?

[whowasphones]

Uh-huh.

[Nutjob.]

[He stays silent for a moment.]

......

[Well... I guess I did respond to him.]

... My name is Neku. I take it you just got here.

[alternateblue]

... [He's getting a sinking feeling..]

Where is here, exactly? I assumed I was just stuck in the byproduct of a dream.

[whowasphones]

Who knows? Maybe it is.

All I really know is that it's called Vatheon. That, and we can't leave.

btw [voice] :>

[alternateblue]

I highly doubt we're all in Sora's head if there's people he doesn't know here. No offense.

Vatheon--why can't we leave? [He's just frowning on his end, now really glancing around his surroundings and finally looking down a little behind him. Oh. Red.. phone thing. It's where the voice is coming from.]

Ah [Voice] here too! :D --also italicized brackets are Neku's thoughts; I always forget to mention;;

[whowasphones]

Uh, none taken?

[I'm just glad you don't think we're all inside the head of your imaginary friend.]

Look around you. Notice any problems?

[voice] no prob, I assumed XDD

[alternateblue]

[He's quiet for a few long minutes.] Should I list them out loud?

[He's realizing this really can't be Atlantica; it's not familiar at all. For instance, there's air. Giant glowing coral off to his left and what looks like a huge glass dome when he looks up.] This is.. kind of hard to swallow.

[Uh. He's supposed to be merged with Sora right now. Not a separate identity anymore, let alone in his own body.]

[voice] tahaha well just in case! |D ♥

[whowasphones]

Yeah. I know.

[He can't really blame him, since... Well, everyone went through this stage. But he figures he'll just let him be until it sinks in.]

[voice] orz gotta sleep after this tag

[alternateblue]

... This is wrong, I'm not supposed to be existing anymore even. [He mumbled that more to himself than for Neku, and there was the squeak of wet shoes as he's getting up.]

How did we get here? ... I'm guessing there's more people, other than us.

Re: [voice] haha I set my limit to this tag also |D

[whowasphones]

[... But he heard that. He doesn't mention that he did, but it sets him aback momentarily. Not existing anymore...? He can relate, kind of.]

Yeah. More keep coming but no one's leaving. There's even detectives wandering about, but no one has figured out how we got here, or why.

[He lets out a sigh.]

... Do you remember anything that happened before you came here? Maybe something like a dark corridor?

[voice]

[alternateblue]

I see.. [Small sigh, he's trying to figure it out himself.]

No, not a thing. It's why I thought this was a dream. [Actually takes a moment, quiet other than a small 'ow'. Yeah, pinching himself didn't work.]

[voice]

[whowasphones]

It still feels like one, really.

[Except that while I'm stuck here, the world around me is...]

[voice]

[alternateblue]

Yeah, it does. [After a few moments, a small annoyed grunt sound.] This.. glowing thing keeps flying into my face. Is this normal for here?

[voice]

[whowasphones]

One's following you already?

I don't know much about that either, but I don't like it.

[voice]

[alternateblue]

Yeah, it's been here since I woke up I think. It's kind of annoying. [...]

Oh, uh.. I guess if this really isn't a dream, I should say my name is Roxas.
