001 ◘ Unexpected Arrival [accidental video//teneka]

[forgingoblivion]

[The video starts on nothing but an image of a plain room. The sight may be familiar - an unlived-in space, set aside for new arrivals. Despite the fifteen seconds of stillness, many can guess right away what's happening

[ .. that suit... it looks really ... familiar? well, it looks similar to Riku's suit, the one he wore when he turned to darkness a year ago--so that's automatic bad points.

whoah and he didn't expect to be thrown at the wall jfksljfklsa that didn't make him jump or anything.

he's got no idea what that did to the features, so he'll just try the first two. ]

Hey! You can't just throw the PORTAL at the wall like that!

video/teneka; - 1/3

[forgingoblivion]

[That thing...it's still working?

And now there are voices coming out of it. Great.

Vanitas, not to happy about this development, goes over to retrieve the PORTAL.]

Yeah? Why shouldn't I-

video/teneka; 2/3

[forgingoblivion]

[That's when he finally takes a good look at the video, and freezes]

video/teneka; - done

[forgingoblivion]

[Even though he's not used to using the PORTAL, his thoughts are such a scramble that none of them get transferred over the teneka. To Vanitas, however, at least one question is clear.

Why is there another person on this thing, and why does this kid have his face?]

Who are you supposed to be?

[The words are harsh and accusatory; he wants answers, and he wants them now.]

REACTION 1/?

[darkened_earth]

[... no.]

REACTION 2/?

[darkened_earth]

[No--it can't be--]

REACTION 3/4

[darkened_earth]

[But--he knows that particular full-face helmet. Which means this can only be--]

REACTION->action/teneka; 4/4

[darkened_earth]

Vanitas... [It isn't hard, to pinpoint that overwhelming Darkness. Not in this place. 'He's--! No!' One floor down. Where Sora lives.

Running now--gotta get downstairs as fast as possible. Worry's setting in.]

[ Dawn winces, hands hovering over the keyboard part of her PORTAL before she decides to go with teneka instead. ]

Calm down, that won't help anything.

[forgingoblivion]

[A girl? Vanitas doesn't have time for this, he thinks. He has to figure out what went wrong, find Ventus, and fix whatever mess this is.

At the very least, he would like to know why he can't talk.

But, right now, he's frustrated and has no direction. So instead of shutting of the feed, he stays.]

Really...

So then, why don't you tell me? What would help?

[It's less a genuine question then it is just him lashing out, and that much is clear from the tone.]

video/teneka;

[lunardancing]

[ She's spoken to enough newcomers that she knows one when she speaks to one, and keeps her thoughts calm. ]

Listening long enough to let me explain what's going on.

video/teneka;

[forgingoblivion]

[If Vanitas could speak, he'd be laughing.

As if someone like this could answer his questions.]

Then go ahead. Try.

[Maybe he would get a useful hint. At the very least, it would be worth a good laugh.]

[Neku has enough time to wonder what the hell this kid's problem is, before remembering to take off the Player Pin to respond.]

The hell is your problem? [yup same thing he was thinking. also neku you were pretty cranky when you got here, too, you can't talk. literally! /shot]

video/teneka;

[forgingoblivion]

[Really? What kind of question is that?]

My problem is that I shouldn't be here.

[Among other things...but he feels no obligation to explain any of that to this kid.]<,/small>

video/teneka;

[shortsstayon]

No shit, Sherlock.

[LOOK AT ALL THE FUCKS NEKU GIVES.]

None of us are here on purpose.

video/teneka;

[forgingoblivion]

[He doesn't even know what you mean by that first part and, honestly, he doesn't care.

But that second part...]

So there are a lot people here, huh?

[He's not asking politely - he's demanding information.]

[endtome]

[Uh oh.]

[It's been an incredibly peaceful week; it has to stand that something would rain on his parade, eventually. Ventus just wasn't expecting it to be him.]

What do you want?

[Abrupt and rude; Vanitas makes him angry, against all odds.]

video;

[forgingoblivion]

[Finally. Just the idiot he was looking for.]

There you are, Ventus.

[Now he could figure out where to go from here.]

video;

[endtome]

I'm here, yeah.

[Exactly where- figure that out yourself. Ventus has been keeping to his Place of Solace-- his old home for a while now; the floors below it were no cakewalk to get through.]

I'll ask again; what do you want?

video;

[forgingoblivion]

To finish what we started.

[As if that should be perfectly obvious.]

Where are you?
