[ 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. ]

[ 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.

[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.

text;

[binarysky]

Then why should I talk to you at all?

text;

[dissolves]

Alright.

Please tell me what you meant by "weirder".

[ too bad tones don't carry over text. ]

text;

[binarysky]

[ Maybe it's good that they don't. This way Roxas can't hear any patronizing sarcasm. ]

The curses, for starters. Strange things happen to people here and you can't predict what it'll be.

And sometimes people leave and come back without remembering anything.

[ 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.

[ 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?

text;

[binarysky]

[A little nervous now]

Don't freak out.

text;

[conjoins]

Sure? What is it?
