[He tries not to think about the disappearances of people. Some of them he just met, others he knew from before but never saw for himself. That's normal here, isn't it? This limbo world. Most of them would probably be happier to be back where they are. It doesn't feel like some limbo world. Everything seems so damn real here. And still, he

There's not a lot to tell.

[swordplaying]

There's always something to tell.

What's your name?

[incendite]

Seifer.

[swordplaying]

Tidus.

What's your world like?

[ridetogether]

Y'know, you look a lot like Shuyin. Got anything to do with him?

[swordplaying]

Huh? Shu-- Wait! Are you and Lenne friends with this Shuyin guy? She seemed pretty devastated to find out I wasn't him.

1/2

[ridetogether]

So you don't know him?

[ridetogether]

Nope. Not friends. Far from it. Can't speak for uh, Lenne, but from what I've heard. I'm guessing they were a couple.

[hottest_turk]

Guess it's time I share huh?

[swordplaying]

Yeah, you owe me.

[hottest_turk]

Hmmmm…where to start?

I don't remember much from before ShinRa Electrical company took me in. No family or a hometown to call my own. I was raised in Midgar and went to ShinRa Academy for my academic studies and then spent the rest of my time Training with Veld, the leader of the Turks. I didn't have much time for fun and I wasn't allowed to meet most of the other Turks in our employ unless they were our top agents and was a need to know basis, like Reno and Rude. So really my friend list is pretty small back home.[Cissnei let a small embarrassed giggle slip past her lips]

Sorry I don't have anything really interesting or happy to tell you of Gaia.

[He's in desperate need of something to distract him, which is the only reason why he's answering. He hasn't really thought this through, though...]

I'm... I'm from Twilight Town. It's called that because half the time it looks like the sun's about to set, morning and evening, with only a few hours of actual daylight and actual nighttime. It's pretty cool, actually.

[swordplaying]

Whoa, seriously?!

[Tidus leans forward and jumps off the bed.]

That is pretty cool.

[nmbr1struggler]

[Tidus' enthusiasm gets a small smile out of Hayner, probably the first one in a few days.]

Yeah, Twilight Town's pretty great. There's this giant clock tower, and me and my friends go to the top of it and sit and eat sea salt ice cream and watch the sunset, and we hang out in this little place beneath the train tracks that we call the Usual Spot.

[swordplaying]

[Yes! 1 point for Tidus. He knows what a clock is, but...]

Train tracks?

[His world? Oh wow, it seemed like a distant memory, being back in The Land of Departure. But thinking back on it...it brought a smile to his face.]

I'm from this place called The Land of Departure. Me, Terra, and Aqua spent most of our time training to become Keyblade Masters. It's..kinda funny. I always wanted to leave, but now...I kinda wish things could go back to how they were.

[swordplaying]

The Land of Departure? Why was it named that? What're Keyblade Masters?

[He smiles faintly and places his hands behind his head, leaning back slightly.]

Back with your friends?

[video]

[fallen_breeze]

I guess 'cuz that's where Keyblade Masters are trained? Keyblade Masters would leave there to travel throughout the worlds to fight the darkness. And Keyblade Masters are masters of this! [He grinned a bit as his keyblade appeared out of thin air in his hand.] I'm not a master, but I'm working towards it!

[He paused, his own smile fading.]

No, they're here. Things got...complicated, after I left home. [Complicated was seriously an understatement.]

[video]

[swordplaying]

What's the darkness? [His smile widens to one of awe when he sees the keyblade.]

Why'd you leave?
