≋ Question Time [Video]

[salvagedlight]

[Ven's on the comms, looking... "older" is the best word for it. It's been a very long couple of weeks, and while very, very good stuff happened, a lot of bad happened as well. And he's not where he was when he last broadcast - instead, he's sitting on a swath of green grass, a white cat with tufted ears snoozing next to him and a growing chocobo happily galloping around in the background. He's on a different world, one that they'd been looking for since Aqua came back.]

So now Mickey's talked about it a little. I wish we could tell you more - we don't know a lot about the history of the Keyblades, or how they work specifically. They've been around for so long that things have just been lost to time, even for us. We know they work, and we're going to use them to protect people. That's the point of them - we have a directive to keep the worlds safe, and all the people on them. We're not perfect at it, but we do the best we can, and we're going to keep doing everything possible until we find a way to get all of you home. We know what it's like to miss a place that's important to you.

[He looks around as he says that; they were without their home for too long. He absolutely can't blame others for wanting an easy solution, even if they have none to give.]

If anyone's got questions, I can try to answer them, but I can't guarantee I know the answers. I won't lie to you and tell you something false, though. And, uhh, Pluto? Can I talk to you?

[He doesn't know his not-mom had vanished since he was possessed when she did.]

[Michiru has taken a break from Agrabah, from the hot sun and the dry air. She's found her way to Traverse Town for the time being. The video turns on to show her with a rather sedate smile on her face.]

It's quiet for the moment. I suppose we should be grateful for that.

I was wondering though, how often do things get so... eventful? Is there usually any warning?

There are people I care about here. I don't want to see them hurt.

[Speaking of.] Haruka? I have a question for you.

[She settles her communicator down on what must be a stone wall of some sort and then steps back a bit.]

Meanwhile, since it is quiet now, I thought, perhaps, it was a good time for some music.

[She lifts a violin then -- the first thing she tracked down and purchased in this place -- and settles it beneath her chin. She lifts the bow, eyes falling mostly shut and slowly the music begins, quiet, but swelling, the melody rolling in regular, powerful rhythms, a bit like the waves on the ocean. She needs this right now, to calm herself down. She's been disturbed by several of the revelations that have come out lately. So at the very least, this will help her clear her mind and think.]
