[010] ☿ New Year

[geniustheveil]

[Ami appears on the screen, looking thoughtful.]

Did you have a good New Year's dream? I thought about the custom of New Year's resolutions. I thought about making a few for myself, and working to accomplish them.

I still will, but I thought it might be more important to make some resolutions together. To talk about what we want to change and improve in the worlds here. Of course, being able to revive our worlds and return home is the priority, but we can't ignore where we are, either.

[Filtered to Senshi and Kunzite from here, unhackable.]

[A bit later, she appears on the screen as Mercury. Her message is brief and to the point.]

I've learned some information we should discuss

As someone in his position ought to.

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

To be honest, I'm relieved. As long as the keyblades are appearing, we have hope of ending this.

[Action]

[shiroi_petals]

Yes, the worlds are safe now that a child has one.

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

[Your sarcasm, Kunzite. :|]

You know that isn't what I mean. However, if the keyblades are gradually revealed, their power can't be denied. We have a great advantage on our side.

[Action]

[shiroi_petals]

I suppose there is no pattern nor set of clues to follow. [Plushie cats falling from the moon, things like that.]

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

Reasonably, the other people from his world should be the most likely to have other keyblades. However, it isn't certain that all of them would be.

He mentioned the names Aqua and Terra as other apprentices. However, he also mentioned people among his training who tried to use the darkness, with horrible consequences. Xehanort and Vanitas.

The Terra he mentioned... I wonder just who it is. [She's met a couple people with that name here, after all; and there should be more, in an entire world.]

[Action]

[shiroi_petals]

There have been a few here. [Go question him, minion.]

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

[She is not your minion, Kunzite.]

That's right. Do you know if one is from his world? It would be logical to expect the keyblades to be saved from the darkness. If a Terra from his world is here...

[Action]

[shiroi_petals]

[Yet. All in good time, future!minion.]

Why not ask the Terras here? You have a talent for getting to know people. If we can identify potentials, we will know who to keep the darkness away from.

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

I'll do what I can, but, I don't want to alarm them needlessly, either. [Of course, she's capable of subtlety, isn't she?]

[Action]

[shiroi_petals]

Are you incapable of being subtle, Mercury?

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

I'm capable of being subtle. [Somehow he always makes her feel she has to defend herself.] I just don't want to go too far, and upset them.

[Action]

[shiroi_petals]

You will not.

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

[She needs to shut him out for a moment, and think for herself; that's hard to do when he's right here, so close. She needs to find this out for herself anyway; and she's already decided to share what she learns with him. This is fine. She finds a small smile.]

I hope I merit your confidence.

[Action]

[shiroi_petals]

[He touches her face. He's... being oddly gentle.] You will.
