001 Connection ✧ Accidental Video

[fabricatedlight]

[When the feed starts, at first all that could be seen is the hem of a dress, a pair of legs and blue sandals facing away from the crystal. The familiar sight of Edge of Madness is also seen, but judging from the way the person speaks so softly and unsure, and stands so still, it doesn't seem like the girl fits in with her surroundings.]

...A war?

[There was a mixed bag of thoughts that crossed her mind as she saw the visual and listened in to her words. On one hand, there was some relief in seeing a familiar face. On the other, there was an equal amount of confusion. Riku, Xion was aware that Naminé knew of. But Axel? What did that mean?

Her voice fell slightly quiet as she spoke. As if transfixed in slight disbelief.] ...Naminé?

[Video] Sorry bbycakes Dx

[fabricatedlight]

[There's just a moment where Naminé gives the crystal an extraordinarily weary glance. That voice felt familiar somehow but she couldn't place it. And that bugged her.]

Who... are you? How do you know me?

[Audio] <3 I still loves you, BB~

[seasaltblues]

[That... caught her more than a little off guard. Who was she? But they just--]

W-What do you... What do you mean? ...We just met at the mansion in Twilight Town.

[Video] <33

[fabricatedlight]

W-what? I... I haven't been at the mansion... for a while. [Nor did she wish to get back with that death sentence over her head that DiZ ordered.] I don't... recognize your voice...

[He was tentative to answer Namine's inquiry, because more than likely she was talking about Fake, what with the other name she mentioned. Rolling his eyes, he fiddled with the crystal he'd found in his hands until he got it to work for video.]

...Guess I'm not the only one who got pulled into this. Naminé?

[video]

[fabricatedlight]

...Yes?

[Huh, that's actually a voice she hasn't quite heard for a while. She looks around even more, trying to find the source of it. Finally spotting the crystal, she approaches and picks it up, making the feed shake a bit, and she softly gasps.]

R-Riku? You are... you. [Guess who missed the post-KHII ball.]

[video]

[limitless_land]

[That little gasp was enough to tell him that it was the real him she had been referring to. He waits patiently as the feed shakes, then focuses on Naminé's face. It was kind of...funny, to see her face again not through someone else's eyes. He chuckles a bit.]

Yeah. Guess I have both DiZ Ansem the Wise and Kingdom Hearts to thank for that. Naminé, what's the last thing you remember before coming here?

[video]

[fabricatedlight]

Kingdom... Hearts? It turned you back. [There's a faint smile on her face. That's one thing fixed, though she's curious as to how it actually happened.]

Being on Sunset Hill with Axel and... you. You let us go.

[video]

[starlitshores]

.... Naminé? [but there's mistake. she'd recognise that dress anywhere. it's like an odd pull on her heart, that her nobody is once again here... like the same tug when she disappeared the first time.] Naminé!

[video]

[fabricatedlight]

[Naminé visibly tenses. That hair, that voice. It was different, but it was her. And she wasn't ready. This was too soon to meet and go back to her.]

...You're Kairi. [Pauses] H-how do you... know my name?

[video]

[starlitshores]

[Kairi tilts her head. Now that's an odd response. But fortunately she's getting somewhat used to this, so she doesn't immediately fly into a panic.]

... we met, and we... [she shakes her head.] No, it doesn't matter what happened then, but you helped me. And here, too.

[video]

[fabricatedlight]

We did? [She remembers wanting to go back to her, but never actually meeting the girl or exchanging names. It makes her almost feel bad for it.]

I don't... really remember anything like that. But... if I met you, then did I... go back to you?

[video]

[fabricatedlight]

[The other two were shocks, but this one is taking the cake. At least the other two were, you know, alive last time Naminé checked. You on the other hand...]

...L-Larxene...! [It barely comes out as a whisper.]

[video] FFFFT Toy |D

[fabricatedlight]

[She's almost starting to fidget uneasily.]

I... I'm not here to fight. I'm not... going to.

[Except that dream and those thoughts - war and collecting crystals - aren't sitting well with her.]

[video]

[earthsend]

[Mention of Riku gets Terra's interest, though it leaves his mind just as quickly as he tries to identify her. What's a little girl doing on Chaos' side? She sounds so lost...]

Hey, you okay?

[video]

[fabricatedlight]

[Naminé stares into the feed for a few seconds. She feels like she should know you almost. There's a faint feeling of recognition there.]

Y-yes, I'm alright. Although I don't... understand this.

[video]

[earthsend]

[...What's she staring at?]

...You've been brought here to fight for Chaos, the god of discord, in a war against Cosmos, the goddess of harmony. Sorry, but there's no way back home.

[video]

[fabricatedlight]

[Nothing, you just sort of remind her of someone. Must be that ridiculous hair style.]

Then that... wasn't just a dream.

[Pauses.] Do we have to fight?
