◎ 005 ◎ Qui-Gon Jinn : Video / Radiant Gardens

[alwaysmindful]

[Normally it was Obi-Wan who left to explore but this time it was Qui-Gon who had ventured off without his apprentice or his trustworthy furret. The feed came on to a display of blue rock and dark; almost purple, soil. His dark boots made an even crunching sound, he did not have any intentions to conceal his presence, it was quite the opposite. He was making his way through the fissures of Radiant Garden when he came across a crack in the mound of earth before him. He paused, ever so briefly before walking int.]

For as long as time has existed, the conflict between light and dark has always been present to guide and distortion our perceptions. It is this battle between the balances that has bred war and injustice just as easily as it has created hero's and peace. In order to understand one we must scrutinize the other. There is no light without dark and therefore we must be careful to perceive what distortions the imbalance is creating.

[He eventually moved out of the tunnel and came across the sink in land where the destroyed castle bearing heartless marks along it's still-standing walls rested silent and ominous. Guess who was on his way to the belly of the beast. He inhaled slowly, hand at his sides.]

Too many have decided to tread on this journey but I fear they're minds are not ready. The path of darkness leads to many roads and none are ever as promising as they cloak themselves to be. It clouds everything even the paths of light. That being said, I cannot train everyone to sense these things so I have decided to join you. To help.

I will be the guiding light. I will venture into darkness, the force will guide me.

✖ Dante ✖ Mission Fifteen: // Jedi Temple

[albinoidiot]

H-Hey, easy with the coat. Do you know how hard it is to find red leather?

[Dante's up to no good.Again. This time, unfortunately he got caught. He was at the Jedi Temple with two Jedi's on either side of his arms leading him to the door. Two others were taking up the rear. Apparently Dante needed this much supervision.]

Okay, so I tried to borrow a droid. You guys have a lot of them, and really I wasn't trying to steal it. I don't know how it got into my coat- it tricked me, someone framed me, I'm on your side here! I can't be responsible for the things in my pocket!

[The Jedi's aren't having it so he just groans. Might as well just make a point.]

Can you at least do me one favor? Don't tell Obi-Wan? He's not gonna be happy about this. My girlfriend will frown but she knew what she was getting herself into. Obi-Wan will- why am I even telling you this. Just keep your mouth's shut.

[ He does not look impressed when the video flickers on but somehow he is managing to keep his cool. It might be part in due that his mind is still caught in the midst of nowhere. It's dark, it's difficult to make out where he is, but there's tiny little movements in the background and sounds that indicate he is not standing in one spot. ]

Good Evening. [ It's curt ]

Information, please. [ Before he starts kicking people. ]

[Naoto is in her usual place; the office, but this time she was getting ready to actually leave. That's a first as she switches off the lights and leaves, folder placed firmly under her arm.]

I have heard about this tournament that someone brought up. While I'm not participating myself, I'm curious to know what kind of things will happen during.  I would like to have a talk with those who are thinking of joining, after all I just want to understand this thing better and get to know more of these worlds customs.

[She soon switches on another light in a different room filled with files and making her way over to one she opened it, soon revealing a folder with a stamp of 'Cold Case' over it as she sighed, putting it away.]

I will be thankful for those who are willing to give me the information and... [She pauses, with that girls post with her being male, while annoying is understandable.] as for that 'awards video' that was shown... congratulations are in order for those who won. Although one I would have to disagree on for reasons.

[She laughed slightly, even here she had been admired as a boy, but she knew she wasn't, nor did she truly want to be.]

[Oz could be seen at the Jedi Temple, happily sitting in the green house, also know as Room of a Thousand Fountains. Oz quietly watched the waterfall, his fingers touching the ripples of the waves. he seemed for once to be at peace, or at least happy for once.]

I thought about how long I have been here and how far I have come in my various skills. So, I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to train with me? Until the tournament of course. I need to practice more and this seemed like a good chance to do it. So, what do you say?

[He ends it with a big smile.]

Obi-Wan, can I speak to you about this world some more? It seems like a really nice place and this room made me curious about this world as a whole.

[intogold]

Good evening, dearies. [Rumpelstiltskin is all smiles, as per usual.] And I do hope everyone is well

[It's totally sincere, of course. Of course.]

I was hoping, perhaps, for just a bit of advice!

[He wiggles his fingers a bit, drumming them together before he speaks again.] These little shadow creatures -- the Heartless... does anyone know anything about capturing them? So far my magic mostly seems to send them scattering. To bits.

[To regroup wherever Heartless go to regroup.] But I'd love to take a closer look at one, examine this darkness to better understand it.

Well, any input would be delightful.

And that aside, if anyone has any business, the door to by shop is always open. Belle, dear. I may be heading out for a bit of exploring. If you are about, would you mind terribly minding the store?

[A bit of a pause and he adds, off-handedly.] Sebastian, do tell me how things are going with you, hmm?

Action/Audio || წ Lesson One || Traverse Town

[memoryreprieved]

[ Maybe it's their mind playing tricks on them, maybe it's just a figment of their imagination. Or did they just see someone scamper past in a black trench coat? They just might have. Yet for some reason, someone- while it's hard to distinguish who with their hood up like that, comes briskly darting along not-so-subtly through the streets.

They look like they're just trying too hard, but it's habit and they just... need to feel that comfort zone as they do their best to get away from that moogle who seemed a little too curious about them. And its persistence only made them further push away, further remember what they have to do. A matter that assembles into words as they look down at the device it gave them at the corner of an alley, taking a breather. What did that moogle say about it? They turn it over curiously before that attention becomes mechanical, attention diverting elsewhere. [Accidental Audio] ]

How did I get here? [ The voice is that of a young girl, pausing uncertainly afterwards. Some people might even recognize that voice. It happens to be that of a familiar red head... ] ...I have to get back to the-

Hi there! Are you new here, kupo?

[ There's a surprised yelp followed by crackling as the communicator hits the ground. ]

( ooc: Meet Xion. She's a little bit on the skittish side at the moment due to just having woken up after, uh, fighting with one of her best friends. And now she's on the look-see about finishing what she was out to do, but then moogles happened. Feel free to catch her either while she's running around or respond to her whoops!audio or whatever floats your boat. )
