[ The feed clicks to show a vast and open desert. Endless and endless amounts of it. The waves of heat are clearly seen in the distance, mirages people can even make out just by gazing at the screen. But despite the conditions of the setting, the person holding device sounds rather pleased by all this. ]

If home is where the heart is, then my place will always be here. I may not have my beautiful palace, but at least I can appreciate the serenity of the desert. It appears as though I am tasked to start over entirely from scratch.

[ There's a pause in his likely long-winded monologue when a few heartless suddenly appear on screen. Thankfully, he's well out of harm's way ... but that doesn't mean he'll be safe for long. ]

Even way out here in a domain of endless sand and sweltering sun, these tiny creatures without hearts make exploration almost tedious. Of course ... they're nothing against me.

[ And he readies himself to prove this by levitating off ground, posed ready to fight, though not without more talking first. Always with the talking. ]

Such troublesome little pests, why do they even exist? To be a nuisance for all that they come across? Or is there some deeper meaning that I've completely missed...

Hubris can be crippling. Though I, too, wonder about these creatures. Is there anywhere they haven't invaded?

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

I have not come across an area not infested with them. If you find a place where they are non-existent, feel free to inform me.

[ Annnnd a little busy casting spells at the heartless now. ]

You don't look like a face I've seen on the network lately. A new arrival?

You could say that; I'm called Sailor Jupiter. What do you know of battling these creatures? Are you aware of any weaknesses?

[Video]

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

Sailor Jupiter. An interesting name.

[ And interestingly enough, one of his spell favorites is of course Thundaga. ]

I do not know much about these creatures except that they are drawn to those with power. At least from what I've noticed.

Nothing appears to completely destroy them, they mere cower away into the darkness when they are too weak to continue...

Drawn to those with power, yet those who have it can't destroy them... Retreating like cowards on top of it all...

These worlds sound more dangerous than I thought.

I didn't take you for someone who'd want to live where you'd sweat a lot.

[ Too busy handling heartless to call you an idiot, so... ] I made quite the home for myself in a desert much like this where I am from. So no, I didn't stand around and sweat. That's repulsive.

[blitz-acing.livejournal.com]

Why? Do you not have sweat glands?

[Video]

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

Why are you even asking that?

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

[Too far away to be any actual assistance, Sailor Mercury nonetheless has a request.]

I'd like to discuss fighting them with you.

[Video]

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

What is it you wish to discuss?

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

The most effective way to turn them away for the longest possible time.

[Video]

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

Fight them, of course. Whatever abilities you have at your disposal will do.

[iscursednomore.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't really answer your question because really, does anyone know why they exist.

video;

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

That is a question I believe we should seek the answer for.

video;

[iscursednomore.livejournal.com]

I'm sure as people explore they'll find an answer. I know that works for me.

video;

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

And have you found any answers?

[audio]

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

It might explain the very nature of my existence here. I am curious. Are you not?

[audio]

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

Why don't you elaborate if you're so familiar with how they work and why they exist?

[pilgrimaged.livejournal.com]

( she looks a little concerned ) Will you be all right on your own?

[ video ]

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

You needn't worry about me, this dark little creatures are nothing more than pests. Are you always so concerned of strangers?

[ video ]

[pilgrimaged.livejournal.com]

( a nod. if you say so, strangely dressed fellow...) Well... if we look out for one another, that makes things at least a little easier on us all... don't you think?

[ video ]

[sycophantishly.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. But would you show such concern to everyone from your world?
