1st Meteor: Less Than Crash Landing [Action/Video]

[keystoneheart]

(Okay, so...this guy here is pretty sure he shouldn't be here. At all. Because Kingdom Hearts shenanigans says he shouldn't...oh, nevermind the usual Luceti stuff; he was just in disbelief about being in his own body, able to breathe the fresh air and being his own man again and not just a puppet for some creepy old dude. That's what holds Terra's attention for a long time.

But before he can even come to terms with that, the realization of being in an unfamiliar world hits him. His body's pretty sure because of the wings, but he can tolerate that easily. Figuring everything else out hurts more than the wings. Anyway, it's not long until he notices the journal and somehow gets the video started.)

Uhh...what is this thing?

(Don't mind that finger as he prods the camera directly. It's a weird looking thing, but maybe it'll be helpful...)

Ven? Aqua? (He's talking to a journal. That hits him more than anything else. What is technology Terra isn't quite sure. He knows things didn't go so well for them during that fight, but doesn't know the details. His head hurts and he's in no mood to be figuring things out.)

...nevermind. (And in typical Terra fashion, he decides to go it alone. Wander through town and see if he can get some answers in person. Makes more sense than a journal, anyway.)

What happened, Ven? Is it his fault we're here right now? Or Xehanort's?

(Nope, not dropping it that easily. Just because he's gone doesn't mean the damage isn't...hell, look at Terra. He's still a wreck, damn if he'll let that stop him from worrying about his little bro.)

[risingwinds]

[He frantically shakes his head, holding his hands out in front of him.]

No way! Everybody gets sucked here because of the world, not because of Vanitas, Xehanort, or anybody else.

As for what happened... d'you want the long or the short version?

[keystoneheart]

(He takes a minute to calm down before saying anything else. He doesn't want to lash out at Ven, especially since he though he'd never see him again. Terra folds his arms.)

...the short version.

[risingwinds]

[Deep breaths! He can do this.]

Vanitas showed up around the same time as I did. We fought a whole bunch, and I eventually learned all about the χ-blade. When I did, I tried really hard not to forge it with him, but... well, things got outta hand. Eventually, we did forge it, and you, Aqua, and a bunch of my other friends had to step in.

Vanitas died, and he came back a week later without memories of the χ-blade, but he was still just as dangerous. He hurt a whole bunch of people, and, eventually, he had to die again. After that, he mostly laid low. Eventually he left, and he hasn't been here since.

[keystoneheart]

...

(WELL THEN...that's a lot to think about, so he'll just go with the more important things.)

Must've been rough...but I'm glad to see you're alright.

[risingwinds]

Yeah... Besides, he's not here now, so there's nothing to worry about. And I'm okay.

[Heh heh... At least he's not asking for more details right now.]

[keystoneheart]

(Nope, not this time. He seems pretty content with this.)

Alright...so what've you been up to? Two years is a long time to be here.

[risingwinds]

Um. Making friends, going to school, training... And that's it for the most part.

[He's not sure he wants to talk about Drafts just yet...]

[keystoneheart]

(Best not to. He's convinced you had an easier life here than back home because Xehanort, so yeah...)

Doesn't sound too bad. Easier than things were back home, anyway.

So does that mean Aqua's here, too?

[risingwinds]

[The very mention of Aqua brings a great big smile to Ven's face.]

Yup! She's been here for maybe a month or two now.

[keystoneheart]

(That makes him smirk a bit.)

So the three of us are back together, huh...glad to hear it.

(Because he didn't think that would happen for a long time, if ever at all. Gotta admit, it's pretty nice.)

[risingwinds]

Yeah...

[He laughs.]

Me too, Terra.

[He's missed them. For a long time, it was just him by himself. Well, and Kohan, of course.]

And the best part is, we don't have to worry about creeps like Xehanort here!

[keystoneheart]

...yeah. Looks that way.

(Terra smirks. He definitely wants to keep things that way. He's admittedly not sure if Xehanort is still present inside him, but but if he is, at least the others are here to stop him...even though he really doesn't want Ven to see him like that.)

We still have to keep up our training, though. You never know when you'll need to draw your Keyblade.

[risingwinds]

[...Snort. Terra, you dork. Of course he'd suggest training.]

Well, it's a good thing there's a place just for training here! Best part is, it's open all the time.
