First Training Session ~ [Video]

Is he awake yet, kupo?

Not yet, he's out like a light!

[A PCD is turned on, revealing a unconscious young boy with black spiky hair, propped up against some crates in the First District of Traverse Town. One of the moogles was poking the boy's cheek, his thick bangs partially obscuring his face. After a couple more pokes, we finally hear a groan

They likely mean the other natives or another refugee.

[There's a pause though after that sentence considering the voice speaking is one he's rather familiar with and personally he already thought knowledgeable about this world...since the man had been the one to give him answers upon arrival. Really, sometimes it would seem this place was out to purposely give him a headache with these paradoxes]

Zack?

[fairly_small]

Refugee? What happen-

[Wait a minute! CLOSER LOOK AT THE PHONE THINGY.

...Holy Hera! It's-! You're-!]

You're Sephiroth!

[Not the expected reaction really, but then he hadn't really expected to see Zack looking so young either. Either this was another case like with Cloud or something had happened to Zack that he hadn't heard about. He's not exactly sure how to go about figuring which one of the two is the case.]

Yes, that is my name. As for what happened, various worlds have been taken by the Darkness and the refugees from those worlds end up in Traverse Town it would seem.

[fairly_small]

But you totally disappeared from Greece a few years back, where'd you go?!

[This is was so cool]

The Darkness? What's that? Nothing was at the Coliseum last time I was there...

[She greets the newcomer as Ami, a simple schoolgirl to all appearances, with blue hair and equally blue eyes. She smiles, meant to be reassuring. Her voice is soft and gentle when she speaks.]

I'll help you if I can. I'm new here myself, but I've learned a little bit about our situation already.

[fairly_small]

[Whoa, you are reminding him of Aqua!]

Sephiroth told me somethin' about the Darkness, what's that?

[Video]

[innerflow]

Think of it metaphysically. It's a manifestation of negative feelings, you could say.

[Video]

[fairly_small]

Well, I know that. Everyone has Darkness in their Hearts but... he said they're more... physical now. Does anyone know how that happened?

[fightsforalice]

Hi there!

[Have the cheery face of a blond fifteen year old boy appearing.]

You must be wondering where you are right? Most people tend to ask that when they first arrive.

[fairly_small]

Yeah, actually... never seen this place before. 'S not anywhere in Thebes, anyway.

[fightsforalice]

Oh! That place is called Traverse Town.

video;

[fairly_small]

...huh. And where is Traverse Town?

[lightguiding]

[There's a gasp of surprise. It couldn't be... He hasn't changed at all, even after all these years. Surprise, though, quickly gives way to worry.]

Zack! Are you okay?

video

[fairly_small]

Aqua?! Heeeeey!

[Someone's excited!]

Yeah, 'm fine! Just... confused, I guess.

video

[lightguiding]

Good, I'm glad.

[About the being fine part, anyway. A confused Zack is not a good Zack.]

Have other people explained anything to you, yet? Those moogles didn't exactly seem helpful...

video

[fairly_small]

Yeah, Sephiroth explained some things to me but... I still don't get how I ended up here.

[Video]

[bittyrydia]

[She frowns.]

Those moogles can be so rude.

[Video]

[fairly_small]

More like they were in a hurry...

[Video]

[bittyrydia]

But what's the point of saying they're going to help if they don't explain anything?

...I can try, but it's kinda new to me, too.

[Video]

[fairly_small]

Maybe I'm not the only one who arrived today?

I'm just wondering how I got here. I was at the Coliseum before.
