7 - voice; backdated to late morning

[todomarishi]

[For a minute or so, the recording is filled with only the softest of sounds: the breeze whispering through tree branches and the occasional rustling of foliage. Then there's a sneeze.]If you spend too much time in the darkness, your eyes are going to hurt when you have to go back into the light. But it's worth it to keep them open when you do.

[Bigpants, your pants are big. Your advice is sage. -ish.]

Never thought about it like that before.

[todomarishi]

[I see that -ish there. He'll clear his throat and try again.]

Sometimes it takes unexpected events in your life to... To... [Hm.] Yeah, I had never thought about it like that, either. Until today.

[pullsheavendown]

[He's trying to be supportive. You're obviously very new at this.]

Is this another Aslan thing?

[todomarishi]

[I've given some very good advice to princesses and small children, I'll have you know!]

It was worth a try. After everything that's happened this week, I feel like I've really learned that lesson.

also voice I guess. /too lazy for subject lines apparently

[pullsheavendown]

[Before his time, friend.]

Maybe I should be glad that I'm just glowing. What's happened to you?

fffff voice;

[todomarishi]

A little of this, a lot of that. Aslan's had my Keyblade and armor. We switched powers completely.

voice;

[pullsheavendown]

Seriously? [That gets a surprised laugh, but not a meanspirited one.] How does he even hold your Keyblade? [The armor is easier to imagine, though no less humorous.]

voice;

[todomarishi]

He holds it in his mouth. He's a natural at wielding, too. The way he uses it, you'd think he'd been fighting with a Keyblade all this time.

Not that he needs one.

voice;

[pullsheavendown]

His mouth? Huh. Bet no one's ever done that before.

Nah. He doesn't. His power's always seemed...bigger than that. [Which is why he worried for you, bigpants.]

voice;

[todomarishi]

Actually, he's not the first to use the Keyblade that way.

Way bigger. The things he knows about us and everyone else is incredible. I see people and I know where they're from and what they've been through. It was... a lot to handle at first. It's still a lot.

voice;

[pullsheavendown]

Really? Who else did? [And if you know the answer to this, omnipotentpants, then you'll also know it's an awkward one.]

That's...wow. [pause] Everyone you see?

voice;

[todomarishi]

[So it is, smallandglowypants, so it is. But he'll do his best to neutralize the awkward.] ... Other Keybearers. There are worlds out there where wielders have to be transformed into animals so they're able to go about their duties without attracting too much attention.

Everyone I've seen so far. Seen or talked to... or heard of.

voice;

[pullsheavendown]

[Wow, tactful. This has changed you.] Huh. That never happened to me in any of the worlds I went to.

Oh...me too?

voice;

[todomarishi]

[If only it wasn't a temporary change.] They're rare... Those kind of worlds. The last mission I went on took me to a bunch of worlds, but none of them required me to change form.

... Yeah. You too.

voice;

[pullsheavendown]

[If only.]

Oh. Okay. [Awk...ward... He really has no idea what to say to that.]

voice;

[todomarishi]

[That's okay. Terra will just come say hello in person.]
