[The feed crackles into existence, and on the screen is a young man. He sits back, communicator resting on the hard surface before him. He seems quite calm and relaxed, and perhaps a bit weary.]Good day, my fellow students and teachers. It is a pleasure to meet all of you, I suppose. I've just arrived after a long journey, and shall spare you the

[Aqua's up in the library when she receives this post. She's...shocked to say the least. He...looks like Terra but vastly different. She has hope it's him, but what if it's not?

...Come on Aqua, you can do this! It's probably him and he's playing a joke or something.]

Terra?

[turntodarkness]

[Someone who knows Terra. This shall be quite interesting. How to play it...? Best to get information.]

I am... Afraid much has happened. My memory has become spotty as of late. You are...?

[watersacrificed]

[And her heart constricts right there. Something happened to him?! What?! And why wasn't she there?

....Time to try and find him.]

It's Aqua, your friend? Do you know where you are? I can try and find you.

[turntodarkness]

The library. It is the only place I felt I could collect my thoughts.

[She's fallen for it. And it seems that she knows Terra as a friend. Much had happened, indeed, in his brother's past. He'll have to learn much from this Aqua.]

[Voice then action~]

[watersacrificed]

I'll find you..[Granted it won't take long since she's in the library too. if she was really using her head she would be able to detect the speech differences. But if a lot has happened to her best friend, then it's only natural for his speech patterns to change...right?

She's combing through one aisle after another to find him...and once she does she's standing there, looking at him. ]

Terra?

[Action!]

[turntodarkness]

[When she arrives, he fakes a kind smile the best he can. He knows his brother well enough to pretend.]

It has been long. I... Am sorry I did not immediately recognize you.

[whoot whoot action~]

[watersacrificed]

[She takes in his appearance, trying to calm her raging heart. His hair is different...his skin is different. And to top it off he lost his memory?

....She wishes there was something she could do...more guilt. but she still tries to smile a little.]

It has, but...what matters is that you're here. You're safe. [She takes a tentative step towards him..but something in the back of her mind is telling her something is off...]

[Action forever!]

[turntodarkness]

And so are you. That is... That is good.

[This isn't telling him anything besides the fact that his worries over Terra are well-founded. If she doesn't give him much else, he'll have to instead drop his little charade.]

[GOTTA LOVE THAT ACTION]

[watersacrificed]

What do you remember? The Master? or Ven? [Anything?

...Nagging feeling is still going on...she looks up into his eyes....searching for something.]

[turntodarkness]

Do you know where Eraqus is?

[Another person he worries about, though hardly as much as Terra. Eraqus is very capable, after all. And he looks back at her, though there's not even a glimmer of recognition.]

[watersacrificed]

[And that's where he makes his first mistake. They always called Eraqus by Master or Master Eraqus.

Aqua takes a good long look at him before taking a step back.]

I don't know....but a better question would be; why are you pretending to be my best friend?

[turntodarkness]

[He doesn't care enough to salvage the disguise. So instead, he allows it to fall away, the smirk returning.]

I am Ansem, and Terra is my brother. Does that answer your question, Aqua?

[watersacrificed]

[Congrats Ansem..you've gotten on Aqua's bad side. HOW DARE YOU IMITATE HER LOVER BESTIE! Her hope falters and her heart aches..congrats. Really, congrats.]

He never mentioned a brother when we were younger, but yes it does.

[turntodarkness]

[He'll probably be on the bad sides of a lot of people. However, the news that he was never mentioned... That hurts him, even if he doesn't show it.]

Yes, we were twins. Fraternal, of course.

[He gestures slightly toward his eyes, bright orange instead of blue. The first clue that there is something different. How could she have missed those?]

How is it you know Terra?

[watersacrificed]

[Stares.....well that was one thing she didn't pay much attention to. She was blinded by the fact that Terra might be here.]

I'm his best friend. We trained under Master Eraqus. [That's all you're getting out of her. her guard is up. Why didn't Terra tell her he had a brother? ..that hurts.]

[turntodarkness]

[He frowns at this. Why did he never hear of her? ...Of course, it had been a long while since he'd been in Radiant Garden to receive letters, and all holidays he could return home were filled with simply spending time together.]

I see... From your reaction, he is not here. And neither, I'm assuming, is Eraqus.
