[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.

He walks through the wet grass, pausing long enough to scoop up a book that barely sticks out against the tall grasses. He flips it open, scanning. Little boxes, little switches and buttons... He pushes a few of the buttons experimentally.]

Odd book. Doesn't look like a command board... Huh.

...Not the time for this.

[With a shrug, he snaps the journal shut, not aware that it had recorded what he was saying.

By the time he opens the journal again, he'll have made his way to the dd New Feather watch station. Somewhere fairly safe where he can dig up some ~~ill-fitting~~ clothes for himself.

He'll give the journal a second look now that he's at least found some shelter.]

[BBS spoilers in KH cast threads!]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[Despite the situation and his own confusion, Terra manages something resembling a grin at Riku's last comment.] Good to hear. That's part of the magic.

I think we'll have a lot to talk about.

Yeah. We've got a lot of catching up to do. Just don't be too surprised when you see me.

Yeah. [He tries to lighten the mood, even with his thoughts all over the place.] I don't know where we have to go, but it had to be far off for you to get that tired.

It's a few miles away. I ran almost the whole way to get here...

[See that, bro? That's dedication. He could have stopped to catch his breath, but he didn't want to take too long!]

[Yes, that's definitely dedication. But somehow, Terra is not impressed.]

If you collapse on our way back, I'm not going to carry you, you know.

[Except he totally will.]

I'll be okay!

[He stands up super straight and might've puffed his chest out a bit. He wants to be strong, especially since Terra just got here.]

It's just a little workout, right?

I'll try. [He might inwardly be amused by the teasing tone. The kid's really grown up.]

Good. I might not be a kid anymore, but it's still me. I'm just stronger now.

Exactly. But it's also about pacing yourself. [Geez, Ven. Who teaches you these things? Terra stands there with his arms akimbo, shrugging to himself.]

Lead the way.

[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!

Well, we don't have to rush now.

[Nodding, Ven starts to walk back towards the village. Now that Terra's here, he doesn't have to make a mad dash to get back.]

There's so much I've gotta tell you about, Terra.

[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.]

[Terra glances down at his journal, the only thing he had actually carried out of the watch station, as he listens to Ven.]

You did say months. I missed out on a lot. [He manages to say this without sounding too disappointed.]

It's okay. Me and Aqua can get you up to speed on everything!

[He grins. True, the past few months have had their rough spots, but there's also a lot of good that's come out of his stay in Luceti, such as all the friends he's made.

Terra just got here, so he shouldn't drop the bomb about Vanitas just yet.]

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?

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.

I think you'll have to. This is a lot to take in. [The time gaps, the wings, getting dumped in the middle of nowhere, his little successor all grown up... Yeah, this was definitely going to take awhile to understand.]

Yeah, I know. It took me a while to get used to, but it's not so bad here.

[And even Riku's age is nothing compared to some of the oddities here...]

There's a bunch of people from the future, though, and one of 'em looks just like me.

[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?

[Well, Terra wasn't too surprised by the "people from the future" bit as much as...]

Someone looks just like you?

Sounds like me too.

[A little older by now, but even then...]

His name's Roxas. I think he's been here for a really long time now...

[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.

[Considering what he's learned about this place so far...]

Just another oddity about this place, probably. [But, of course, if Ven dwells on it, he'll give it more thought.]

[ Wait. That voice, that face. Something jogs in Repliku's memory, a memory far too old to be his. He still can't help the rush or eager excitement that it sends through him, finally seeing after ten years the man he himself didn't even exist to meet.

For a few painful, painful minutes, he considers whether or not to respond. Reach out to him, tell him something.

But those were Riku's memories. Not his.

So without writing anything, he closes his journal and heads for home, getting back to miss Ven leaving the house by only a minute or two. ]

[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 . I think when I arrived it wasn't too much longer after you, and I knew you had been there. There's... been a lot of things that has happened since then.
