[Cold. Overcast. It's a stark contrast to the warmth and rays that Terra had felt not too long ago, and he frowns at the skies like they'll tell him what's going on. No Keyblade, no clothes, no items ... and no memories of how he ended up here.

And that was without taking those strange wings into account ( Read more... )

[She heard Ven bolt out the door suddenly and tried to go after him but he was long gone, she couldn't even tell which direction he went it. She searched around for him for a while but was getting nowhere fast, so he heads back home to try the journals. Maybe there she could find a clue on where he went. And sure enough she sees Terra's post to the network. So... that's why. By now Ven has probably found Terra.]

Terra!

[voice] erodingearth March 19 2011, 06:09:38 UTC

[It'll take Terra a moment to respond to Aqua, as Ven's doing his best impression of an excited puppy at the moment. When he gets a moment while they're walking back to the village, Terra acknowledges his journal again.

His first reaction is to apologize, but that's ... probably not the best way to approach this. Months, Ven had said.]

Sorry I took so long, Aqua.

[...Never mind. Can't ignore an initial reaction like that.]

[voice] enduringwaters March 19 2011, 06:24:43 UTC

It's... [A pause. She's just so relieved to hear his voice right now and-it might have to wait a moment. When she speaks again there's a worried tone to it.] It's fine. Terra, is Ven with you?

[voice] erodingearth March 19 2011, 06:33:36 UTC

Yes, he's here with me. [He's not sure what to do with the journal exactly, but since he can see Aqua's picture, maybe she can see Ven if he turns the book towards him for a moment.

Terra holds the book back in front of him after a moment.] We're heading back to the village now. ...He said you've been here awhile.

[voice] enduringwaters March 19 2011, 06:47:55 UTC

[Oh thank goodness. They'll have to fill Terra in on all that stuff with Vanitas later.]

Mm, it's been a few months now. Time somehow works differently in this world, so that's why it may not seem like it for you. [A beat.] What... is the last thing you remember before waking up here?

[voice] erodingearth March 19 2011, 06:58:04 UTC

[Terra holds the journal open and aloft with one hand, rubbing his chin thoughtfully at the question. The time differences again...]

I made a detour to a world. ...One with star-shaped fruit.

[voice] enduringwaters March 19 2011, 08:35:14 UTC

[Aqua has to think for a minute while she tries to figure out the timeline. She's pretty sure she has a good idea on what all Terra doesn't know yet and thinking about having to tell him is breaking her heart. It'll have to wait until later, though.]

And with the two boys, Riku and Sora. I think when I arrived it wasn't too much longer after you, and I knew after meeting that boy you had been there. There's... been a lot of things that has happened since then.

[voice] erodingearth March 19 2011, 08:57:08 UTC

[Considering their last conversation and his mood when he had left, Terra isn't sure how to feel about Aqua's words. They were his friends, and he had just made a resolution to himself...

But that didn't change what had happened.]

So you followed me even there. [He shakes his head.] It sounds like I'll be doing a lot of listening.

[voice] enduringwaters March 19 2011, 09:16:40 UTC

...Terra. [It stings a little and Aqua's grip on her journal tightens for a second. There's a lot she wants to say right now, to tell Terra how much Xehanort was lying to him, but she stops herself. That's something that needs to be done in person.]

Only if you will listen. Let Ven bring you back to the house at least.

[voice] erodingearth March 19 2011, 09:38:45 UTC

[A short time ago, he would have rejected the idea outright--not so much following after Ven, but standing by and listening to what Aqua had to say. There was anger there, and that feeling of betrayal he couldn't quite rid himself of.

He thinks about his Keyblade and its newest form after that meeting with Riku. The name that seemed so right for it. Terra sighs to himself, but doesn't stop walking.]

I'll listen. [He has a feeling he won't like what he'll hear, but...] I owe you that much, for walking away before.

[voice] enduringwaters March 20 2011, 06:43:55 UTC

[Well, that's quite a bit of relief right there. They never really did get all that resolved between them, and if Terra is willing to listen and not turn his back, then maybe she can make things right again. She hopes so, anyway.

It's a few moments before she speaks up again.]

...all right. I'll be waiting here for you both.

[Presuming Ventus manages to get him back to the house in one piece, Terra takes a moment to look at what's been Aqua and Ven's home for the last few months. It's ... well, quaint, and nothing like the buildings in the Land of Departure.

This totally has nothing to do with a slight apprehension at seeing Aqua again.]

[action] enduringwaters March 21 2011, 05:47:13 UTC

[Quaint is a way to put it! It's nothing like home was, but they've been trying to make the most out of it. And Aqua has made sure to keep that extra room open for Terra.

She knew it would probably be sometime before they got there, since Ven would most likely take Terra to retrieve his things first, so Aqua had spent that time mostly pacing around the house to keep herself distracted. She was a little anxious, even if she was trying not to show it too much.

Eventually she stops and waits in the kitchen to listen for the front door to open.]

[action] risingwinds March 22 2011, 03:48:42 UTC

[Before long, Ven opens the door, peeking inside with a sheepish expression. In retrospect, he probably should have told Aqua where he was going, but at least they both made it back in one piece.]

Aqua? You in there?

[He'll go ahead and step inside, waiting for Terra to follow.]

[action] erodingearth March 22 2011, 03:57:22 UTC

[Terra was at least able to talk to Aqua a little over the journal, so he knows she is waiting for them somewhere nearby. As he follows Ven inside, he looks around quietly.

Maybe he can see little touches of Aqua and Ven in the house. It's a little strange and sad to think they've been here for months without him.]

[action] enduringwaters March 22 2011, 06:11:01 UTC

[Yeah, right now she's mostly just glad they made it back okay. And it's not like Ven doesn't know he really should tell her where he's going. She can't really blame him for bolting out like that anyway.

Once she hears Ven's voice, Aqua walks out to the living room to greet them. She pauses once she sees Terra there, actually here and okay. She's glad for that.

...not so glad that the first time the three of them are together again after this long might have some tension, and she can already see Terra might be aloof. First things first though, she turns to Ven.]

Have you filled him in on anything yet?
