≋ Exposing Lies [Video/Action for Destiny Islands]

[salvagedlight]

[The view when the screen turns on is from Destiny Islands, specifically the playground island. Ven's sitting on the bent tree holding the comm unit and Terra is standing nearby, arms crossed over his chest. The younger glances at the elder for a second, and receiving a nod in return, looks back at the screen and sighs.]

Maleficent. [Yeah, this is going to be a fun talk.] She's a dark fairy from a world called the Enchanted Dominion, and for years now she's been trying to take over all the worlds. She makes alliances and breaks them, she doesn't keep her word if it doesn't help her somehow, she just tries to take what she wants. She takes people's hearts, guys. She uses the Darkness because she is Darkness, and she can control the Heartless. And...

[Another glance at Terra, another nod in return though Terra's keeping silent himself and not looking at the screen.]

She can control people. She can control the Darkness in a person's heart to make them do what she wants them to. She'll try it with words and deceit first, but then if that doesn't work she'll just go in and do it, even if you're resisting. She's really strong. We've fought her so many times and beat her each time, but she keeps coming back. She's like a virus - we've gotta find some way of getting rid of her for good.

[Another sigh as he looks up at the sky.] She doesn't want to restore the worlds or save anyone. Don't make any deals with her, because she'll just use you and throw you away when she's done. Don't trust anything she says because she's probably not telling you the whole truth. Whatever she offers you is going to be poisoned somehow, so just... don't do it. She offers an easy escape through messing with your emotions, but that's the way to let the Darkness in. Rage and anger and jealousy are tools for her, and she'll use all of yours against you any way she can.

[Ven hopes that'll be enough to at least get people thinking about trusting her. From what he can tell, most people don't, but the more that's known about her the more on guard people will be with her. If anyone wants to ask questions, he'll answer them, but he also has a private message for Kairi.]

[Privated to Kairi]

Hey, are you okay? We need to talk - do you have time to come out here?

[purestmadness]

In other words, she's just like everyone else.

There's only one thing that matters: She knows more about the Darkness than anyone else here. She isn't the only person capable of using people.

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

Yeah but why set yourself up for being used in the first place? She knows about the Darkness because she's trying to take over. Everyone needs to watch out for her.

[He doesn't get yet that Kadaj is a bad guy.]

[blitz_acing]

Sounds like someone else I know.

[ video ]

[darkerearth]

Someone else...?

[Video]

[salvagedlight]

It sounds like there's more people out there like her than we want.

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

That Maleficent! The way you describe her makes her sound even better than I had thought!

[A darkness virus who can control people with her immense power?
*Sigh*
What a woman! ]

[darkerearth]

[ just have Terra glare at you for that >:/ ]

[salvagedlight]

[Ven rolls his eyes at this one. He's not at all surprised by this.]

You're weird.

[mountain_sage]

[Well, this is certainly a good thing to know.]

Ah...thank you for the information. I had been curious about her myself...not that I had intended to accept her offer at all.

[salvagedlight]

We just want people to know what they're getting into with her... She really likes to use people. If they know, it makes it a lot harder for it to work.

[decaying]

And how do you know all of that, exactly?

【 VIDEO 】

[salvagedlight]

I fought her to get someone's heart back before.

【 VIDEO 】

[savesjerkbenders]

She sounds charming.

What's a dark fairy?

【 VIDEO 】

[salvagedlight]

Well, there's... fairies, in some worlds. Most of them are good, but some of them aren't. She's the worst one I've ever heard of, but I haven't really met all that many.

【 VOICE 】

[conceptualizing]

[Being kicked out of his own castle by a 'dark fairy' has really struck his ego. He's out for blood.]

What else do you know about this woman. Tell me everything.

【 VOICE 】

[salvagedlight]

[Not your castle, dude. Ven's with Leon on that one.]

Huh? That's all the important stuff... She's older than she looks, she has really strong magic. I think she turned into a dragon at a couple of points? Umm, she's got these little goblins working for her that are reeeaally stupid and kind of look like pigs. I think we blew up her castle, but it's been awhile so I wouldn't be surprised if it got fixed.

【 VIDEO 】

[albinoidiot]

I know she's a bad egg but I've never met a green-skinned dark fairy. How old do you think she is?

[Not that it would matter, Dante would clearly still 'tap that'.]

【 VIDEO 】

[salvagedlight]

[You are so lucky Ven can't read that expression, otherwise he might whack you upside the head. There's a line to be found somewhere, Dante.]

A lot older than she looks. I don't know how old.

【 VIDEO 】

[sonofaghost]

She's darkness itself? How do you take her out?

【 VIDEO 】 HI ALL OF YOUR CHARACTERS EVER

[salvagedlight]

Fight her. She's not so bad to take out, the problem's keeping her gone. This is the third or fourth time she's come back.

[Mrrrrrrrrrph. Just STAY DEAD evil bitch!]

[video]

[obiwankenobi]

That's certainly not good news. I appreciate you informing those of us who aren't familiar with her. [He bows his head once gratefully.]

[video]

[salvagedlight]

I know it isn't good, but... The more people know about her, the more on guard they'll be, right?

[video]

[notsquall]

...Somehow, I knew she'd rear her head again.

She's taken the castle here in Radiant Garden back, too. We're gonna need all the help we can get if she's planning another take-over.

[ video ]

[darkerearth]

She's taken it? What else has she done there? [ he doesn't look pleased. he's almost worried about what she's planning ]

[video]

[soldierofspacetime]

I see.

[video]

[salvagedlight]

Are you okay, Pluto? [Does he need to find and heal his not!mom?]

[watchesthesea]

[Kairi appears on screen, looking rather okay compared to what others might be.]

I'm fine, and I do have time right now, so give me a few minutes to get there, okay?

video; private;

[salvagedlight]

Okay, I'll be waiting.

[wantstobeasinger]

I kinda feel insulted that ya said she was a dark fairy. Witch I could have understood, ya know, because they are evil.

video;

[salvagedlight]

[He doesn't get it.]

But... that's what she is, a fairy. She's not the only fairy around, I also met three good fairies in that world.
