[Terra's only vaguely aware of how terrible his luck is. Not only did he manage to get dragged into some strange world moments before what could have been victory and the end of a lot of his troubles, but the world he got stuck in is some dream realm

That would be... really helpful. Maybe he's not here, but he was the last person I saw before I woke up.

Who are you?

[endsoftheearth]

Xehanort. His name is Xehanort.

There's a woman with blue hair, too. Aqua. Are you looking for anyone... Ted?

[escapedpandora]

Haven't seen anyone like that, sorry. But I can keep a look out.

...I have to find my friends and get back, too. I'm-- [He thinks for a moment.] on a pretty bad time limit.

[endsoftheearth]

Thanks. If he's here or if he ends up here, I need to know about it right away.

Time limit? Was something going on in your world, too? Or your... dimension?

[escapedpandora]

Uh... pretty much. It's just really important to get back, no matter how nice this place is supposed to be.

apologies for ridiculous late

[endsoftheearth]

Nice... I don't see how anybody could think it was nice, being trapped in a world against your will.

If they were able to bring so many people in, there has to be a way out somewhere.

Action

[snowwhitesoul]

[Rukia has been out on the town today, poking here or there and trying to discover the lay of the city as well as she could. But you'd think it wouldn't take much for her to notice the walking suit of armor drudging along the sidewalk.

Head in her PORTAL and the other hand occupied with some kind of puff pastry, she moves to the side to go past him after seeing him in the corner of her eye, but she misjudges the distance and...CLACK! their arms knock together and her PORTAL goes skittering over the ground.]

Action

[endsoftheearth]

[Terra doesn't think much of the woman walking along. Someone else he's never met. His visor turns slightly as he notices her, but his attention shifts to his own PORTAL just in time for him to feel their arms collide. He stops abruptly, drawing his arm back and staring down at the stranger. There's a flicker of light around his free hand, but his nerves settle quickly and he doesn't summon his blade.

Instead, he heads over to the fallen PORTAL a moment later to retrieve it for her.]

You okay?

[He asks as he holds the device out for her to take back.]

Action

[snowwhitesoul]

[He's got a lot of distance to stare down, that's for sure.

Rukia's posture changes only a split second behind his, sensing more than seeing the draw of his body suddenly shift to that of potential aggression. The heartbeat of moment, however tense, is over when Terra relaxes and the faint shimmer of light in his hand winks out. The crook of her fingers unfold and drop down from in middle of the motion of reaching for the sword that is clearly sticking out from either side of the profile of her body. She's tiny and almost frail looking despite the voluminous drapes of black material of her shihakusho.

Then Terra retrieves the PORTAL and offers it to her, which Rukia takes from him, glancing down at it to check for scratches and dints.]

My apologies, I was not paying attention.

Action; apologies for extreme late

[endsoftheearth]

[He notices the sword as he withdraws his hand. Though he takes note of the weapon, he doesn't think much of it. So she's a warrior of some sort. Obviously not defenseless despite her size - but he knows better than to judge based on size alone since his best friend is also rather vertically challenged.]

That's all right. I wasn't exactly watching where I was going, either. Sorry.

[Action]

[fairly_small]

[Zack saw this mention. OMG TERRA! And he's totally going to run out and try and find him. Because how can you miss a man in all that armor? Luckily, he didn't have to go far, all that crunching is hard to miss. People give him offended looks because he ran out without his mask, but right now? He doesn't care.

Terra is here!]

Terra! Hey!

[Action]

[endsoftheearth]

[Terra stops at the sound of his name and looks around, trying to spot the source of the yelling. He recognizes that voice, but it isn't until he sees Zack coming toward him that he realizes where he's heard it before. That kid from the Coliseum. He was here, too? No way.]

Zack?

[He pulls his helmet off, looking really, really surprised. Dumbfounded, even.]

[Action]

[fairly_small]

[Yes, that kid. He is so glad he sees a familiar face finally.]

Yeah! It's me.

[He claps Terra on the shoulder.]

Guess I'm not the only one who showed up. Though now I'm wondering if Herc or Phil're here... Hey, uh, do you mind if we go inside?

[People are glaring at them both now and while he's totally willing to challenge authority... now was not the right time.] The people got this thing with showing your face. I'll explain it in a bit.

[Action]

[endsoftheearth]

[Terra continues to look completely baffled.]

Guess not. [He mumbles, but he's starting to wonder who else could be here. Not that he has much time to think it over. When Zack draws his attention to the people nearby, his daze wears off. He frowns, gripping his helmet tighter.]

Sure, let's go.

[With a nod, he starts back toward the house at a brisker pace.]

I've noticed how weird they are about that. That's why I've been wearing this... [He holds up his helmet.] But some people were still giving me looks.

[Audio]

[rewritethesky]

[Guess who just caught those names? She isn't sure who they are exactly, but there's something to them and Naminé knows that. Aqua and Terra especially.

And it gets worse when she hears about his big key.]

I don't think... anyone's seen him. But you never know. They may show up, or still be sleeping. It seems that this world is endless, so...

If I may ask, what does... this key do? [PLEASE DON'T DESCRIBE A KEYBLADE. PLEASE DON'T DESCRIBE A KEYBLADE.]

[Audio]

[endsoftheearth]

[Huh. Sounds like a young girl. He tries to keep the anger out of his voice as he replies.]

It doesn't make any sense... This sleeping and waking up stuff. I thought I was awake before.

[He's quiet for a second, considering her question.]

It's used as a weapon. [He's hesitant to give out any more information than that because who are you and why are you interested in the Keyblade. Maybe it's just innocent curiosity on her part, but he's a touch wary all the same.]

[Audio]

[rewritethesky]

It seems that a lot of people thought, or are thinking the same way. But... that's the story that people from here are telling us. It's rather hard... to believe them.

I see. [This doesn't sound good. Sure there can be other places that use a key for a weapon, but that would be a coincidence. A very big coincidence. She needs to be careful.] How... how can it be used as a weapon?

[Audio]

[endsoftheearth]

I guess... But why would anyone lie about something like that?

It's used like a sword. Like a blade. [Can't hurt to tell her that much.] Or you can cast different spells with it.
