First Journey // Video

[Sora looks like he’s had a fist fight with a loaded paintbrush. White smears of paint are streaked down his cheek, all over his jacket and gloves. One of those paint-smudged fingers happens to be tapping the screen experimentally-probably what triggered the message to start.]

So all I gotta do is turn this thing on and ask everybody if they’ve seen

I've spoken to a Riku once. I can't say he's your friend, but there's always the chance.

[lockandkeyblade]

[That gets him a little excited.]

We're friends- Best friends!

If you've spoken to Riku... then that means he's here too! Do you know where he is?

[Video]

[ofthetwili]

[She's quite taken by your enthusiasm, Sora. Nothing but smiles as she shakes her head.]

I'm afraid I don't. However, I'm sure he'll see your message and get in touch with you soon.

Did they tell you about the darkness? You should try and get inside before it gets much later.

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

[A nod. And then a bright smile. That's good news- looks like all he has to do now is wait.]

Yeah, but I'm used to that kinda stuff.

[Only, Sora's definition of 'darkness' is a far cry from what's here in Siren's Port.]

Don't worry about me- I can take care of myself.

I can say from experience the creatures here are probably a lot different than the kind you're used to. You should still be careful... I'm sure your friends wouldn't want to see you hurt.

But not everything that is dark is bad. [And she should know.] My name is Midna, what is your name?

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

Well, Midna, I'm Sora. It's nice to meet you.

What did you mean by... different?

[Video]

[ofthetwili]

It's nice to met you too, Sora.

Different as in they come back every evening. No matter how many times you kill them. Some are pretty nasty ... even their origins are up for debate.

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

[Definitely doesn't sound like the Heartless.]

Sound pretty dangerous. You haven't run into any of them, have you?

[Video]

[ofthetwili]

I run into them enough ... the smaller ones do not seem to mind me. They either run away or fail to acknowledge my presence all together. The larger ones at times can be attracted to me, I believe it is because of my power. I've had people compare me to them and other creatures similar. I do my best to avoid them for the most part. I'm not really the fighting type... [And she lets her words trail off into laughter.]

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

[That sounds like the heartless all right. Attracted to the strongest hearts, to powerful people. He must be talking to somebody pretty unusual.]

Why would anybody compare you to the monsters?

[Video]

[ofthetwili]

Unfortunately, I don't look like this all the time. I also, until recently, unable to survive in the daylight. We are from a place of darkness, it's known as the Twilight Realm. During the day here, I take on another, much smaller form.

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

Sorry if this is a weird thing to ask, but... you've still got your heart, right?

[Video]

[ofthetwili]

[A blink, but Midna nods.]

Last I checked. Such a strange question though, would you mind telling me why you asked?

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

It's... kinda complicated. That's the kinda stuff we had to worry about where we came from, but it looks like that's not the case for you.

Good thing too. Losing your heart's pretty serious.

Re: [Video]

[ofthetwili]

Sounds like it wouldn't be a fun situation for anyone. What happens when someone has their heart taken?
