Resurrection in Traverse Town

[Video / Action in Traverse Town]

[ The white furry paw of a moogle glided over the ‘record’ button as the creature was roughly shoved away. ]

Please, kupo! Give me a minute to explain, kupo!

[ The man didn’t listen. He instead used the wall of one of the nearby buildings as a support as he leaned against it to prop himself up and struggle to his feet

[There's a small, blond girl watching him curiously. A another new arrival? The moogle was right when he had said this was happening often. She notes that the red haired man looks less than pleased about all this. Understandable. Maybe she should speak up.]

It's just a moogle. He won't hurt you. In fact, most of them are pretty nice. Did you just arrive in this town?

[twilight_pastel]

That's what I've been told. It kind of worries me, because I thought all this mess between the worlds were fixed. And then I was told that people that I know may be from their past time lines or even their future. As though things weren't confusing enough. [She frowns.] But even if things don't make sense, there has to be a reason I'm here. Which means that there's a reason that you're here too. [Her smile is back.] Maybe you're the next great hero that will save the worlds. [She is half joking. But that means she's half serious. The last heroes were a Sora,Donald and Goofy and they looked as unlikely as unlikely got. So who would she be to judge?]

[stars_know_all]

[The next great hero? ]

I don’t think so. [Said with accompanying frown. Being a hero isn’t something he really believes himself capable of. ]
If the worlds were restored would everything go back exactly the way it was?

[twilight_pastel]

I believe it should. I mean, that's what was supposed to happen. But I still don't remember what happened after the last final battle....something must have gone wrong. Or the heartless wouldn't still be causing trouble. [Now she looks uneasy. If heartless are still around, there's no reason that nobodies can't also be around. Her and Roxas at least are proof of that. What if the Organization resurfaces?]

[stars_know_all]

[This girl is a fount of useful information. There was a final battle of some kind? And what were the… well, he goes ahead and asks that question.]

What are the Heartless?

[twilight_pastel]

There are many types. The simplest ones will look like shadows. The more powerful ones like the foot soldiers bear an emblem. Kind of like....[Out of the pocket dimension she pulls the drawing pad and starts to sketch http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/7f7c601c79c48f647bb8ff8a37016d3a/http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z277/Negima_Ten/Kingdom%20Hearts/heartless_symbol.jpg] ...this here. [Holds up sketch]

But they are all malignant. All of them will try to take your heart. Unless you can fight, best to avoid them.

[stars_know_all]

[The symbol was not familiar but the shadows… ]

I think I saw some of the shadows when I first woke up here. They were in the ally…

[Eyes narrow. ]

Why are they after hearts?

[twilight_pastel]

[She can't help being a little impressed with how well he's taking this.]

They are usually born when someone succumbs to the darkness in their own heart. When this happens, the heart is lost and that person can become a heartless. But that's not the only way they are made. [She frowns. This subject bothers her a little. After all, she is the Nobody of someone the Heartless tried to steal a heart from.It doesn't make for cheery conversation. but he has the right to know what's going on.] See, heartless only have one instinct: to seek out other people with hearts and devour them, thus making more heartless. But what they really lust after is the keyholes in different worlds...the heart of a world. They destroy that, and that's how world's collapse. That's why so many people here have lost their homes.

[stars_know_all]

[He has seen stranger things than this in the Dark Kingdom. ]

So, the Earth disappeared because the heartless found the keyhole and conquered it?

[Nephrite smiles a little at that, not because the heartless conquering the Earth was such a good thing but because that meant Queen Beryl wouldn’t be able to do it if the heartless had already won… and besides by acting as they did the heartless had given him a second chance at life. He should really thank him for that. ]

[twilight_pastel]

[Namine's brow crinkled thoughtfully] Earth? Is that the name of your world?

[stars_know_all]

Earth is the world I was on before the heartless attacked.

[At least as far as he knew. Where did the dead really go to anyway? ]

[twilight_pastel]

I can't say I've been there. But I suppose with so many worlds out there I'm not surprised that there is one I haven't heard of. [She does note that he never actually says it is his world, but she doesn't pry into his business.]

[stars_know_all]

[Very perceptive. At this point the doesn’t consider the Earth ‘his world’. ]

Have you traveled between many worlds?

[It did sound like she had. ]

[twilight_pastel]

I've seen a few. The trouble is I moved around a lot. I was very busy helping my friends, so I never stuck around anywhere for long. [Mostly she stuck to helping Riku when she an Axel parted ways. It was for the best. With Axel, there was always only a fifty fifty chance that his goals would be her own.]
