001 [VIDEO]

[starlitshores]

[at first, her voice isn't clear at all, as if she's speaking far away from the crystal itself, so it sounds simply like inane babble. however, it starts to get louder.]

--hello? I'm trying to find-- what's--

[and then the video feed comes into view for a few brief seconds, of a girl with auburn hair. it seems she's stood in the crystal world,

[ A new arrival! Yuna peeks into the crystal, giving the girl (what she hopes is) a reassuring smile. ]

Are you okay?

[video]

[starlitshores]

[after a few seconds, she manages to get the feed up and running again.]

I'm alright, but... I don't understand why I'm here... [she sighs.]

[video]

[amorningglow]

[ Yuna still smiles at her, though this one is a little bit more sad. ] You're here to help fight a war. I'm sorry.

[video]

[starlitshores]

I see... I remember hearing voices, so I guess that was it. [she nods, her eyes sad.] But, fighting...? I'm not really the best person for that.

[chainlink]

K-kairi?

[video]

[starlitshores]

[she'd know that voice anywhere. nevermind the fact that they fairly much merged in her timeline: she'd take anything given to her right now.] Naminé? Naminé, you're here too?

Re: [video]

[chainlink]

Yea, I've been here for awhile.

[video]

[starlitshores]

[a somewhat relieved nod. but then she has to ask.] That's odd... in the World That Never Was, we... we just merged together. [a frown.]

[enamoredbytruth]

[Naoto's peering at her curiously, but she speaks when the girl is finished.]

You were transported here by one of the gods, to fight for them in a war. Currently there is no known way home, and the pattern is irregular for where they take people.

You were returning home before coming here?

[video]

[starlitshores]

I seem to... remember hearing that. But I thought that was a dream.. [she frowns.] I guess not.

Yes... I just entered... I mean, I was just about to go back home with my friends, and then, I was here.

3/3 | VOICE.

[ For a moment, he has to make sure he didn't imagine that, that he's still not imagining it. Then, he breathes a response that's nothing short of amazed. ]

No way ...

VOICE.

[starlitshores]

[for a moment she's silent. she knows who it is; will always know who it is. but, it's too much to hope for. she was just with him, and now, he's here too. but she can't hold it in all day. she has to ask.]

.... Riku? Riku, is it really you?

[oblitus_clavis]

[There's something so familiar about this girl she can only stare for a moment.]

[oblitus_clavis]

Do we know...each other?

[video]

[starlitshores]

[Kairi says nothing, considering... and then very slowly shakes her head.]

I don't think we do...? [but her face is saying otherwise; she seems familiar, but she can't figure out why.]

Re: [video]

[oblitus_clavis]

You look so much like....Namine. ['And me' is what she's thinking, but she can't seem to being herself to voice it out loud.]
