[ The feed comes on with a loud tap as the blonde boy fidgets with the device. ] -- turn it on? Maybe this button.. [ the feed cuts short.

a few moments later, it turns back on again, and Ventus is grinning triumphantly. ]

So that's how you do it! [ after a pause, he lifts one hand from the communicator, leaving it at a slanted angle as he waves. ]

Hi! I'm looking for some people. A guy with brown hair, wearing clothes that are similar to mine, and about ye tall -- [ As he moves his hand, the camera tilts again, showing - not the hand that roughly judged his companion's height, but Vanitas, standing on the roof of a building close behind Ventus. As if on cue, he shifts, takes a step forward-- and jumps off of it and onto the ground a few feet behind Ventus. ]

There you are, Ventus. I’ve been looking for you. [ He raises some weird looking sword, swinging it forward.

Ventus moves out of the way sharply, communicator dropping to the ground as he pulls out his own odd looking sword. It is then that the feed times out. ]

[It's a relief when it does. He might not know you well, facetwin, but he doesn't want to see any harm come to...well...his own face.]

I'm Roxas. One of the other people who were brought here to the City by the deities. There are a lot of us.

[ The same could be said for him - when he finds out he has a facetwin. ]

So we were all summoned?

I'm Ventus. It's nice to meet you, Roxas.

text;

[binarysky]

Something like that.

Has anyone given you a guide yet? A lot of times they try to do it right away but you looked busy.

text;

[conjoins]

I was pretty busy, yeah. I haven't, though. Is there someone I can ask for one?

text;

[binarysky]

I think I still have mine. Hold on.

[beep boop beep. shortly, Ventus will receive an attachment that gives him a basic rundown of the city, the network, and how both function.

That'll probably help some. Don't worry if things still seem strange to you, though. They did for me for a long time. This world isn't like other ones.

text;

[conjoins]

Thanks!

Yeah, I found that out the hard way.

[ now then... does he just.. touch the attachment?

oh!

there we go. ]

[ gj facetwin :|b ]

It gets weirder, trust me. But not always in a bad way. I've gotten to meet people here I never would have otherwise.

text;

[dissolves]

Care to explain "weirder"? Since we're all here.

text;

[binarysky]

Who are you?

text;

[dissolves]

Does it matter?

text;

[binarysky]

Maybe it does.

text;

[dissolves]

Vanitas.

I've answered your question, now answer mine.

text;

[binarysky]

[Yeah that means...nothing to him.]

I'm Roxas.

text;

[dissolves]

I didn't ask for your name, idiot.

text;

[binarysky]

I know. I'm just being polite. Guess you still need to work on that.

text;

[dissolves]

I have no use for that.

[conjoins]

[ he's the best :|b also sorry roxas my other half is super rude ]

That's how I feel every time I go to a new world, so that's not surprising. How weird does it get, though?

text;

[binarysky]

[ Oh Ventus you are such a good facetwin. So much better that Roxas will give you a straight answer right away. ]

The deities curse us all the time—it's not as bad as it sounds, though. Sometimes it's just silly stuff. Like they've turned people into little kids before, or made us do stupid stuff. It usually only lasts a day or so.

And sometimes people leave and come back, but they don't remember ever being here before.

text;

[conjoins]

[ It's not hard to be a good facetwin when Vanitas is the competition, really. But he appreciates the straight answer. :') ]

That doesn't sound bad at all. I've been small before, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Not kid small, but mouse small. It was pretty cool, actually.

Do people always come back?

text;

[binarysky]

Really? That sounds kind of fun.

Not always. Sometimes when they do, it's a really long time later. [Liiiiike you!]

text;

[conjoins]

It was. I helped a mouse make a dress for a girl, and I beat up a nasty cat.

I see. [ Well, he doesn't remember that! ] Oh, have you seen Aqua or Terra around here?

text;

[binarysky]

Oh, neat. [wat]

I've never met anyone by those names. Sorry.

text;

[conjoins]

That sounds really bad, but the cat attacked us first, okay.

Oh. Well, thanks anyway. You were a really great help.

text;

[binarysky]

No problem.

There's something I should probably tell you, though.

text;

[conjoins]

What's that?
