[it may be a little unusual to see someone hanging out in the dugout before the evening sirens, but that's exactly where the video feed is showing when it flicks on. someone is splayed comfortably on the bench, though the NV is on the ground and fixed to show only three things: muted red boots, a certain fishbowl helmet propped up against said

[Video, totally not action EVER ]

[wtf_keyblade]

[ What a lucky day for Kairi to be a Greeter! No really. She was heading there, in fact, when she heard the new voice. Automatically, she responds with her usual sunny greeting. ]

It's not so bad - I kind of like it. Of course it's not like ho-- [ The voice registers and she stops short, flipping the video function on her NV. ?... ?...???? is her thought process at the moment, thanks. ]

[Video, of course not :'D]

[theprobator]

[enjoy the view of boots and bucket, Kairi! though he'll likely have the helmet back on by the time she gets there.]

You didn't answer my question. Where are you from?

[Video, because that would be TERRIBLE ;D ]

[wtf_keyblade]

[ What a lovely view! The boots she didn't recognize, but the voice... ] Sora...?

[ No way. Too bad her Princess of Heart powers don't work over an NV or she'd know better, but she's already rushing towards the dugout. Why ... didn't he recognize her voice? ]

Radiant Garden. [ The sound of skidding footsteps as she gets near the entrance of the dugout, a little out of breath. ] But the past two years, it was on the islands -- [ Maybe she was wrong. Maybe she was imagining things. But it sounded ... ]

[Video, 8) ]

[theprobator]

[Vanitas has a mental image for Radiant Garden, at least, but the islands? sounds about as vague and uninteresting as any other island world he's been on.]

[a gloved hand appears on the feed as he reaches down and snatches the helmet so he can press it back on. the way he sounds is likely just a coincidence, Kairi-- people share similar vocal ranges all the time. of course.]

"The islands" really narrows it down for me and all, but I've heard enough anyway.

text, alas.

[pullsheavendown]

[Roxas frowns at the sound of the voice-it's familiar, but...not a match, exactly, and people can sound the same. But something else pings him, too.]

You've been to other worlds before? [He certainly sounds acquainted with them.]

text, you can't hide forever

[theprobator]

[are you seriously going to make him bend over and pick up the NV? thanks a lot, Roxas; these were his best boots.]

Yes.

text, of course not BRING IT

[pullsheavendown]

Who are you?

text, /BRINGS

[theprobator]

Answer my question first.

voice;

[walkthedawn]

[No way. That voice...sounds like Sora, but the boots-

He knows them too well to mistake them.]

You first.

voice;

[theprobator]

Hey, I asked first. C'mon, you could stand to be a little more sporting.

voice;

[walkthedawn]

Sorry, I don't give answers over to people who reek of darkness. Nice outfit, by the way. Real original.

voice;

[theprobator]

Oh, you've got me pegged, all right. I bet you can tie your own shoes and everything, too.

[zealouspeter]

The alternate version of this one.

How about you?

[theprobator]

[good question.]

I have no home.

text.

[zealouspeter]

Amnesiac, or traveling?

text.

[theprobator]

Traveling. Staying in one place forever would be useless.

[ video/private ]

[caliginose]

[ Private because there are always people listening and who would want a reunion publicized? It is only a matter of time until certain individuals - Terra and Ventus specifically - announce to the world who it is that has arrived, but just the same.

The background image displays rows of a books and a heavy, well-worn desk, but the majority of the feed is of a familiar, elderly face, currently tugged into something of a smile. ]

Ah, Vanitas.

It pleases me that I did not have to wait very long for your arrival.

[ video/private ]

[theprobator]

[Master Xehanort right in his element no matter what world he's in is somewhat of a welcome sight, he has to admit. not that Vanitas is anything more than neutral or silently obedient toward the old man, but when he bends down to retrieve the NV and his helmet, he's mirroring that smirk.]

Never heard of the Lanes Between malfunctioning. [he had just stepped into a portal before the Pull caught him, after all.] What world is this?

[ video/private ]

[caliginose]

Nor have I.

No, we are...victims. [ A very brief, gruff laugh. ] The world itself is vast but we are limited to this city alone. It is called Siren's Port.

[ video/private ]

[theprobator]

[Vanitas pushes the helmet back on and nudges the bucket away with his boot as he stands. he has better things to do than hunch face-first over it for a few hours.]

That throws a wrench in a lot of different things. Where are you? I'll come find you.
