[Video / Open Action : The World that Never Was ]

[ If you want to see the power and strength of the Darkness why not dive into its very heart? Or… at least the closest thing to it that you can. That was why this world was chosen. A world filled with the heartless and another strange kind of monster that no one had mentioned to him before. They were white and instead of slithering across the ground they kind of pranced methodically forward before striking out with their long limbs.
The creature he faced did just that, sliding closer over the ground and then pausing as if to size him up before striking out at him. The attack was met and countered with a sudden successful deployment of a laser like weapon. A sword of light that flashed to life from a strange metallic housing on the Commander’s forearm.
Eagle smiled as the creature recoiled. For all that posing and strutting they were still weak to laser weapons? It gave him an advantage.
The Dusk swiveled forward as Eagle leapt away from this fresh assault until both were lost off screen. The sounds of a battle could be heard but the device sat peacefully where it was, only being disturbed once when a heartless slithered over to it to look deep inside the lens. Behind the heartless a few more of its companions could be seen heading towards the noisy skirmish. The heartless bobbed its head and picked up the device but before it could do much more than turn it over in its clawed hand the creature was swallowed up by a flash of bright light. The supplies these monsters drop when they disappear scattered across the ground and with them the communicator also fell to a rubble strewn resting place until it was recovered and dusted off by its owner. ]

Are you alright over there?

[Eagle spoke to some one over his shoulder and while the answer wasn’t picked up by the camera he did look back at the device. ]

The red light is… Has this been on the entire time? Apparently that is a problem these communicators have. They like to turn themselves on at inconvenient times.

But, since it is on anyway. The dark shadowy creatures are the heartless, but maybe some one could tell me what the white figures are? They are very different than the other creatures.

[He smiles mischievously when he adds. ]

Mr. Mystery Voice, if you would like to meet I could return to Traverse Town after we finish up here. There is a little tavern there that would make a nice meeting place.

You certainly were very welcoming and supportive when I appeared.

[A compliment. ]

The moogles do try, but they can be a little scattered or easily upset. It is much nicer to have things explained by a calm friendly person.

That's because you were about to fall over on the cobblestones. I couldn't let you pass out right after you arrived here.

That's true of course. I only meant to say that you would be very well suited to doing 'good' in Traverse Town, if that is what you decide to do.

[Her smile widens at that; she likes hearing that she helped, that she accomplished something.]

I feel like I should be doing some good - and really, this place reminds me of the city I moved to back home, more than the others do. I guess it feels kind of like a way to stay connected to where I'm from by staying here.

Edited 2011-12-09 09:06 (UTC)

That is a really sweet idea. As long as it reminds you so much of home then maybe you really should stay there.

I probably will. But I still want to visit all the others - except maybe the one where you are. Are there even people there at all?

I really haven't seen anyone, or much sign of life at all beyond the heartless... This place looks like it has been abandoned for some time.

Then it's probably not ever going to be a good tourist destination.

[Though she's getting an idea that she doesn't exactly like but may be necessary in the future...]

What kind of worlds do you want to see?

[Eagle chuckles at the good tourist destination comment. No, it really wouldn't be. ]

I don't know very much about any of these worlds, so I suppose I would like to see all of them at some point... but the worlds with the most chance of holding clues to our return, those worlds are the most appealing to me.

I don't think anyone knows which ones those are. We still don't understand how we came here at all - getting back is going to be even more difficult.

No, I don't suppose any one does know that.

[But, he still has a few targets in mind. ]

[And she raises an eyebrow at that.]

You have some sort of idea, don't you?

There must be a reason why some worlds have more heartless on them than others. I think I might have to compare a few of these to see if I can find out why that is.

[It is a starting point anyway. ]

...You know, that's actually a pretty good idea. At least maybe we could figure out how to keep the stronger Heartless away. Are you sure you're strong enough for that, though?

I don't really have any choice. I have to be strong enough or I might not be able to find a way to return to Cephiro.

[Eagle decides to will himself to be strong enough! ]

[She's seen that, mister :| ]

Well if you start feeling bad at all, you better come see me. No arguments! And if I find out you didn't, then you'll regret it!

[You really are sweet Rinoa! He definitely doesn't want to get her upset so he agrees right away. ]

Thank you. I will keep that in mind.

[Sweet and bossy, that's her.]

Don't just 'keep it in mind,' do it. I don't want you keeling over again.

[It comes from a caring place so a bit of bossiness is appreciated. Eagle even needs that sometimes in order to rein him in a little. ]

I will come to you if anything happens, don't worry.

[Reckless man.]

Good. And I'll be waiting to hear what you find out, all right?

[Guilty. ]

As soon as I have the data ready I will make sure you get a copy of it.

[At least they both know it.]

Thank you - and take care of yourself.
