[There's a click and the sound of buttons being pushed rather forcefully] Huh. That's weird. Something just turned on.

Hello? Can anybody hear me? [a pause] Well, it's not talking back. Maybe it's broken. [The sound of a few more buttons being pressed before there's a frustrated groan]

Well, if anyone can hear me out there, please talk to me through

[shinra_finest]

[He doesn't recognize the voice, but the mention of a "tall guy with silver hair" sure catches his attention.]

Depends on who wants to know.

[fightswithkeys]

Sora- er, that is, my name's Sora. Who're you?

[His voice is a little more anxious now.] You've seen my friends?

[shinra_finest]

[Sora...? Never heard that name before.] That's too big of a Q&A, don't you think?

But because I'm such a nice guy-- Name's Reno.

And that depends. Who's that silver haired guy you are looking for?

[fightswithkeys]

[Weird. He sounded a little like Axel.] Not really... it's only two questions.

His name's Riku. His hair's about down to his shoulders, mostly covering his eyes, I guess. Have you seen him?

[neverloveless]

[Denzel? But no . . . this one is speaking of 'heartless' and 'Riku' and 'Kairi'. Nobody Denzel would know, for sure.]

It's a very bad time to be out on the streets, I suggest you get inside while you try to figure out where your friends are.

[fightswithkeys]

[That voice sounded kind of familiar...]

I can take care of myself, no problem. If there's trouble out here, I can help out!

[neverloveless]

[Yet another young voice. Tifa wonders how so many of them can be self-proclaimed skilled fighters.]

How old are you?

[fightswithkeys]

I'm sixteen. [Just a bit of pride there, and a hint of his smile in his voice.]

My name's Sora. What's yours?

[keysofdestiny]

[A pause, speechless.]

...Sora?

[fightswithkeys]

[There's no mistaking that voice.]

Roxas! You're here too!

[keysofdestiny]

How can you...? How are you here? I thought you were at Destiny Islands.

[fightswithkeys]

I was. At least... before I woke up here. I don't even know how I got here.

[A pause] Hold on, didn't you get here with me?

[heresygrenade]

Can't say there's been anyone by those names through here.

As for the snakes and lizards, those are a new feature.

[fightswithkeys]

... Oh. [A disappointed sigh.] Alright.

New feature? Did they just come out of nowhere?

That icon slays me.

[heresygrenade]

Just about. Much like you.

How so?

[fightswithkeys]

But I'm not trying to bite anyone who comes near me. I'm not infesting the town either.

Voice

[i_love_squats]

Tall guy? Silver hair? [There's a cautionary silence, before he spits a name he didn't know he wants to.]

Guy doesn't go by the name "Sephiroth", does he?

Voice

[fightswithkeys]

Uh- no. He goes by the name "Riku".

[A pause.] You know Sephiroth? The guy who keeps chasing after Cloud?
