[She's holding the crystal aloft and looking at it strangely, unsure if it's recording her or not for the moment. She softly sighs.]

A war between the darkness and the light, chaos and order... I understand what I have to do, but-

You have to understand. I made a promise and I fully intend to keep it, no matter what. I have to get back to them. [

[starlitshores]

Terra? Terra's here... [and then she pauses. wait a sec.] ... are you a friend of Ven's, too?

[voice]

[wakingwaters]

[The voice isn't familiar, but something's still there-] You know both of them? And Terra's... Is Ven here?

[voice]

[starlitshores]

Yes! Both of them are here. I met them when they got here. I think they mentioned one of their friends...

[voice]

[wakingwaters]

Are they okay? [Easy on the questions, Aqua. Geez.]

[Her voice is warm now, calmer with the knowledge that they're both here with her.] That was probably me. I'm Aqua.

[Audio]

[darkness_forged]

Well, well, now. Aqua. Nice to know you've joined this fun little party too. And there's no need to worry about Terra. I'm going to take care of him real soon, I promise.

[Audio] 1/idk how many gdit vanitas

[wakingwaters]

[No. That voice.]

[wakingwaters]

[How is he still around? After that fight with Ven...he should have been gone. But what if something had happened while she was gone? What if he had found a way to get to Ven in her absence?]

[Audio] okay, done

[wakingwaters]

[Terra.]

You will not. You can't defeat him and I won't let you.

[voice]

[earthsend]

[This... Terra should have expected it, sooner or later. Should have, but didn't. Maybe he was hoping at least one of them would be safe from the war, but when has fate ever been that kind to them?

He still feels rough after the recent battle, and probably looks it, too, so it's audio only.]

...Aqua?

[voice]

[wakingwaters]

[There he is. There's no more hint of Xehanort in his voice, and while she can't see him, she has to believe he's okay. Still...]

Terra?

[voice | filtered]

[earthsend]

Yeah, it's me. Ven's here, too.

[And then he changes the conversation abruptly to private. With all he's heard about Chaos' treatment of traitors? He's paranoid.]

Looks like that magic of yours worked. We found our way back to each other.

[voice | filtered]

[wakingwaters]

Good. I was afraid something had happened-

[He's going to have to teach her that. For now, she just smiles and laughs a little, sadly.]

It looks like it did. I didn't mean for it to keep bringing us back together right when we all need to fight again.

[The last two times she's seen the both of them have been in combat, after all. Fate's never been on their side, it seems.]

[voice]

[wakingwaters]

...A woman? [She laughs quietly.] Oh, yeah, that definitely can't be him. Thank you for trying, though.

[brb, imagining Terra as a girl now.]

[Voice]

[valorandwisdom]

[And... He sounds a lot different than you remember him, Aqua, and he has no idea who you are.]

Huh? Terra's here, yeah - does that mean you know Ven too?

[Voice]

[wakingwaters]

[She doesn't quite catch on just yet.]

I do, yes! They're both here?

[Voice]

[valorandwisdom]

[Good, 'cause he'll need reminding.]

Uh-huh! But... why do they have Keyblades?

[THIS STILL CONFUSES HIM.]

[Voice]

[wakingwaters]

[What kind of question is that?]

They're Keybearers, of course. We were trained by a Keyblade Master.
