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

[ 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. )

[ Just arrived? Well, she's never been to a place like the town she's landed in before. That's for certain. And she's not sure how she got there either. But...

-Huh, she knows about the moogles, too? ~~Just who are all these people and what do they want with her?~~ Actually, wait. ]

What do you mean about just arrived? [ Because the moogle had said something about that, too. But it's weird, this coming from someone over these... strange device things. At least she's growing accustom to the fact that people are talking to her over them? Slightly. So much for Organization protocol. ]

Just arrived. Most if not all of us seem to come that way. We wind up in Traverse Town with no real explanation. Even while our worlds are... well. Still lost.

[Still, it's an odd question.] Perhaps I'm mistaken though. Are you not a newcomer?

[ She's quiet for a moment. But when she finally speaks, it's with a curious if not wary tone. ]

You said the worlds are lost? How? What happened? [ Does that mean the ones she's traveled to... are they lost, too? Is this why she ended up where she's at? It might explain why they think she's new around there... Maybe that means something happened to Twilight Town... or the Organization stronghold. But that still leaves Axel's absence to question... ]

I'm not sure myself. I've been told it's something about the Darkness, but I don't entirely understand that. [Just that home is far away. And the people there, the same.]

Something to do with the darkness... [ She remembers vaguely through dreams not her own of a time when a certain world came apart. Is that the darkness that this lady's referring to? She's not quite sure.

She's never been versed in these matters. Only heart collection. And the purpose behind it, collecting enough for Kingdom Hearts. This... This is kind of new to her. Yet a part of her feels it's not. ]

And so your world and others... They were taken by it. [ It's not really a question. And it's all the more reason why she has to do what she has to... isn't it. ]

That's what we have been told. [It rankles her a bit that she has to rely on what people tell her here, that she doesn't know what's going on as well as she'd like.

But that's her nature. Relying on anyone aside from herself and her partners does not sit well with her.]

What's your name?

[ What they've been told... and perhaps even of how without the keybearer, how things wouldn't change. This is reason enough for her to cut to the chase. ]

-What about Twilight Town? It wasn't taken by it.. was it? [ Yeah, might be ignoring your question. Don't mind her. Or maybe you will. It's kinda rude~ ]

[Michiru is quiet a long moment at that.] Twilight Town is one of the world's reachable here.

And now that I've answered your question, maybe you'll consider answering mine.

[ Twilight Town still exists... Hearing that, a weight seems to lift from her shoulders. It's not a lasting feeling. Because she knows what she has to do then and that brings her to bear yet another in second's time. But all the same...

Still, it's momentarily forgotten by the way she's suddenly- yep, caught red handed. Xion shrinks away from the device, even if the lady on the other end won't be able to see her. Her name... It's not something she gives out easily. Organization protocol and all. Actually, by that, she shouldn't even be speaking to her. But it's not like she's a part of them anymore. And really, if she goes through with what she intends, giving her name away won't matter anyway. ] It's Xion.

[Something in Michiru eases just slightly when the girl gives her name. There's a deep uncertainty in her, a paranoia almost, about strangers -- at least strangers who are involved in strange things. And by virtue of simply being here, in this little collection of worlds safe from the darkness, well, that includes everyone.]

Well, I'd say welcome, Xion. But is Twilight Town your home? Because maybe welcome back is more accurate. I'm Michiru.

I guess... you could say that. [ It's the closest place to home she's ever known. Even if... it's far from now in some aspects. But in others, it still is. It's where he is, after all. It's weird though, speaking freely of other worlds. It's usually not so common knowledge that they all even exist as far as she's aware, but maybe she's wrong.

She hesitates and then: ] I'm sorry. I really- have to go. There's something important I have to do.

I see. [Well, Michiru won't argue with her needing to go. But well, there's little else to say, is there?] Good luck then, with what you have to do.

[ Ah-ha! There's the button on this device. Finally. But still, the way that Michiru's treated her... She can't help but pause. And then, softly: ]

Thank you.

[Admittedly, she's surprised by the thanks. So she hesitates a moment before answering.] No need for thanks. I hope you find what you're looking for.

[Because with the concern over Twilight Town, Michiru gets the sense she's looking for something. Someone. Somewhere.]

Mm. [ She... hopes she does, too. Really. Even if... she doesn't feel quite so ready anymore. ]
