star_kingdom | [voice] puzzle 003

[Zexion had found himself in the ruins of what had once been a place he'd called home when woken up, the image of a woman lingering briefly in both thought and memory. However he had little time to spare currently for such mysteries considering the fact he rather doubted anyone who currently called the world home would welcome him in it. Thus he slipped out of the house he'd woken in and once he found himself a convenient empty alleyway with no one in sight, he created a portal and exited into a different set of ruins on the world. One which held far more memories despite the way the place had been messed with in his absence from it.

Still it should be safe enough for him to stay here since the only other location he would feel safe staying in was apparently in ruins if he was to trust Larxene's word on that. He might check for himself soon enough, but he didn't see any logical reason for to have lied about such a thing. Now though he could turn his thoughts back to the woman his memory now claimed he had met during his youth, before everything had fallen to ruin and darkness.

He eventually settles for the moment in the library of the castle and then turns his attention to the device the moogles had given him in Traverse town, viewing the newest entry contained within it's memory before using it to make another broadcast, though this one is voice-only much like the other began as.]

To the young blue-haired lady whom aided me earlier and brought me to Radiant Garden, I express my gratitude. Despite the state it is currently in, it is...nice...to be back home once again.

[Aqua had been just as surprised as little Ienzo to find Radiant Garden in the state of disrepair it had been in. It was nothing like its former splendor, but at least it was still the boy's home, so she'd left him there in good faith he should be okay. She's surprised, though, when the voice is most definitely not the little boy she remembers.]

...Ienzo, wasn't it? You're welcome.

[There's a brief consideration after seeing the response and after another minute of further consideration of certain other factors, Zexion sheds the coat and leaves it resting in a chair out of sight as he switches from audio to video. He also briefly considers correcting her on the name issue, after all Ienzo is in a sense dead if one cares to be technical; but in the end he remains silent on that issue, since it would likely lead to him having to explain things he had no care or desire to go into right now.]

Yes. Though I don't unfortunately recall your name, might I ask for it again?

[She continues to survey him curiously. He really is the spitting image of himself as a child, albeit not so quiet as that little boy had been.]

It's Aqua. I'm sorry your home wasn't quite how you remembered it to be.

A pleasure, Aqua. [pause] It isn't your fault, there's no need to apologize for it.

[Especially when he knows exactly whom the parties are whom are responsible for this world falling into ruin.]

[Even if she doesn't know the details, she has a feeling she knows exactly who's responsible for all this. Who else could do such damage to the worlds?]

At least it seems like people still live there, and are beginning to rebuild.

Yes, I saw that.

[It's one of the main reasons he's cooped himself up here in this castle for the time being actually instead of roaming the world to investigate all of the damage or progress that has been made.]

You're doing well I hope?

As well as can be expected, thank you.

[No sign of Terra or Xehanort, Ven's still asleep, and more worlds are vanishing day by day. The outlook's not the greatest, but she's trying not to let it dampen her spirits.]

What about you? Are you staying in Radiant Garden?

[That's something of a delicate question and he contemplates on how to answer it exactly. Even if he did answer in the affirmative, if he didn't specify where it might work out alright. If he lied, then he would have to think of a new location and recall it the next time he spoke...best speak in half-truths rather than end up caught in a web of deceit he decided.]

I am well enough, and yes. I haven't seen the need to leave it as of yet.

I see. Be careful; that world is a lot more dangerous than it once was.

[ He recognizes that voice. And he also recognizes that that voice? Should be dead.

The feed clicks on to video -- Roxas has to see if it's really him, and it's just Roxas staring staring at the screen, waiting. ]

[It's the sudden gleam of light from the device which alerts him that someone else has answered his broadcast and he slides out of the coat once again, to walk over and pick it up to see who's on the other end. When he actually see's Roxas, he switches the video on his end on and speaks to the boy.]

Good to see you've escaped what seems to have done in nearly everyone else.
