11th Rainfall - [Video locked to Keybearers]

[asapphireheart]

This is probably really forward of me, but I want to pull us all together. I want to see just how many there are of us, and just how skilled everyone is. From what I can gather, Ven and I are the only ones that have had a Master. There's a lot of skills that you can only learn from a Master like the Gliders and Armor.

[It took her a moment to decide whether or not to answer Aqua. She was still edgy from finding out just exactly who Ven looked like. Honestly, it had awoken all sorts of questions. Ones that she wanted to ask both her and Axel. But for the moment, she had been a little too lost in the tidal wave of different variables to really settle and go to her.

When she clicked on her feed, she seemed to be in the middle of reading if the book in front of her was any indication. Casting Aqua a curious glance.]

I know some spells. But I've never heard of the armor before. That comes having a master? [An awkward blink.] ...And what about gliders?

[asapphireheart]

[Aqua smiles to Xion when she replies and nods a bit.]

The Glider spell isn't documented, not in any books we had back home in any case. It's always taught by a Master. And the armor protects us from Darkness. We're never to travel through the Lanes Between without our armor.

[Spell not documented.... That would probably explain why she never learned it. The armor, too. There were so many mysteries surrounding the keyblades. But she had to wonder now... although she stilled it a moment. Just a moment though as she tilted her head.]

Lanes Between? ...I've never heard of those.

[Video - Private]

[asapphireheart]

Never? How do you travel between the worlds then? Well, the Lanes Between are exactly that, the lanes between each world, the paths we take to get there. Mickey used the Star Shard most of the time to travel, but he's been to the Lanes. It's how he saved me and Ven.

[So Roxas was still settling into his room, putting away his spoils from the past few days of shopping when he happens to notice that his watch has opened and the screen inside has Aqua on it. Watching the message reminds him that he had at least a dozen questions he'd held off on asking from that time when she invited him to stay with her and Ven.

But since she's bringing this up, he's going to dart out of his room and down the hall to the kitchen table -at least that's where it looked like she was broadcasting from in the video.]

Wait! Uhm, I mean... armor? And all Keyblades can turn into that thing you were flying around on the first day?

And a master? We're not just random flukes?

[Action]

[asapphireheart]

Yes, they can. It's the best way to access the Lanes and the most sensible way for us to travel, because we can use our Gliders to attack anything we run into out there.

Armor, yeah. [Aqua reaches to the sleeve hanging off her left arm and detaches the pauldron hanging there.]

This is all I need when I'm not traveling but when I do this- [She places it back carefully before closing her hand in a fist and smacking it, letting her armor wrap itself around her. Right after it finishes forming, Aqua pulls off her helmet.]

If I didn't have my armor, I think I'd have been killed before coming here.

[Aqua smiles at his last question.]

Nope, nothing random about it. In some way, shape or form, the Keyblade was passed on from a Master, even indirectly.

[Action]

[notquiteanobody]

[All of this is enough to be nothing short of entirely mind-blowing to the blond Nobody. For starters, it sounded completely amazing -like something out of a comic book that he read. And then to realize that being chosen to carry a Keyblade just wasn't some cosmic joke played on the bearer; that there was purpose to it and more over that there were more of them.

He didn't quite know why, but especially thinking about that last note; he didn't feel quite so alone anymore. Of course, if Roxas gave much thought about it at all, there were plenty of reasons for him to have at least given this notion a passing thought. He actually knew quite a few other Chosen and while he just chalked it up to a certain monster's plans rather forcefully acquainting all of them, the idea that being this way was actually something good... well, it kind of turned his perspective on things on it's side.]

That... that's really amazing. And you're a master?

[Thoughts were brewing in his head; lots of them. He never really cared much about his weapon prior,

[Action]

[asapphireheart]

Yeah, I am. [Part of how she says it seems empty though. She and Terra were supposed to pass together, until Xehanort messed everything up.]

Masters are few and far apart now so a lot of knowledge may be lost. I want to make sure that it's not.

[You are so special Roxas, and Aqua will show you.]

VIDEO. LOCKED.

[asapphireheart]

There is, I'm surprised Mickey didn't teach any of you, or send you to Yen Sid. Even if he did retire, he could have taught you all a few things. That's alright though.

[Oh, she's so very glad that Kairi seems excited.] We'll have to find someplace to do this then. I'm not sure near the forest would be smart, everything we do might attract a few monsters.

[Girls are always in charge.] Of course! I got them for you after all.

VIDEO. LOCKED.

[asapphireheart]

Yen Sid was Mickey's Master, he seems to know everything that goes on in the World.

[Aqua thinks for a moment before nodding.] Yeah, those should work nicely.

[Directions go here!] It shouldn't be hard to miss.

[Video - Private] Let's just pretend I was on time and before the event began, shall we? ; ;

[limitless_land]

[It took him a moment to even see this, due to being distracted by trying to clean Sora's mess. But, this offer... He didn't want to refuse it. In fact, he couldn't. Something he always had was a thirst for knowledge, and though it was dampened slightly by his dealings with the darkness, well. He knew Aqua wouldn't even entertain that notion, knowing the state Ila was in and thus where he once was.]

I'm horrible with magic, but brute force and speed have always been on my side. [Not to mention the darkness within him, but... he wasn't too proud of that. He gave a faint wave, since his watch was on the table in front of him as his spoke.] And... Gliders?

[His curiosity; you have caught it.]

[Video - Private] /pretending :D

[asapphireheart]

Well, my Master insisted we all train in magic, even if our skills lay elsewhere. It's important that all Keybearers have at least basic or medium level knowledge in spells, just in case. You never know when you might need a good Curaga.

[Aqua smiles brightly. Yay for capturing curiosity!] Gliders, yeah. We use them to access the Lanes Between but we can use them within worlds too. They're made from our Keyblades, and we can use them to attack while flying, since we're basically riding on our weapon.

[Video - Private] Whoot! /gdi Ranko post that thing up already :|

[limitless_land]

Doesn't mean I don't know some... ['It's just all dark magic.' Sigh. But, he does listen carefully, nodding.] Been there, done that, and I still don't know it.

[...Gliders made from the Keyblade. Why did this sound familiar? Also, for one who's normally as good at concealing his emotions, this is as close to a face of awe you're going to get.] ... I see. I guess... you can count me in.

[Video - Private] /prods, Aqua gets to disappear for a little after the event

[asapphireheart]

True, but practice does make perfect. It never hurts.

[Aqua grins, glad to hear that. But her grin turns a little mischievous after a moment.] I'm really glad to hear that. But Kairi already volunteered all the guys.
