[ you know that guy that can get any girl? i'm him… on crack. ]

[ Because clearly the DR is in more need of them trolls --

A (skeleton) keyblade, he wishes inbetween his lips, two auto-crossbows Nomura style being held by both hands, the newly arrived lookout guard (see: sniper) with the red, ragged muffler round his neck took a second glance around because this place wasn't Radiant Garden.

Nor was this the floor where he chained up that keyblade master, but nobody needed to know that, and he doesn't mean you Nobodies. Understood?

The left hand puts the held crossbow aside and onto the holster -- how it doesn't pull down his pants due to its weight, that's a secret -- only to move up and grab the key, tucking it safely behind said piece of red cloth. If they wanted to unlock something, they can unlock it themselves (He's looking at you, kid, with both eyes).

Braig blows into his own hand, because it was just a little chilly out here. ]

-- And then I lost the game, huh? Great.

[ A game; a bet. There was a bet, but with who? Details come with a price, buddy, most especially from a man like this. Besides, everyone's got a mortgage to pay. ]

[Raises an eyebrow at him, just giving him a suspicious look from her spot in the doorway here.]

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

[ No, there is no key -- aren't we the familiar face. ]

Terra's friend, right?

[diamondusts.livejournal.com]

Right.

[Her expression probably shows her suspicion, but for now she's just trying to figure out what his deal is.]

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

Now, because I'm sure I was in Radiant Garden before this, [ with guns blazing at your BFF but let's not say that ] do you happen to know the details and lowdown of this place?

[diamondusts.livejournal.com]

It's a crossroads of worlds, times, dimensions... We have all been dragged here and there's no exit that anyone knows of as of right now.

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

Man, I thought you were as happy as Ven. [ Sighs, but gives a nod with his hands separated in mid-air like so (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/92714076/21646027). ]

In other words: A nexus, huh? Never thought I'd see the day. [ Pause. ] I like it already.

[diamondusts.livejournal.com]

You thought wrong, apparently.

[She's only as happy as Ven when- well... Ven is around. Or Terra.]

Great. Find a vacant room and settle down; you probably won't be leaving anytime soon.

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

You should relax. It won't help you, will it?

But, thanks for the information. What happens around here, by the way.

[diamondusts.livejournal.com]

[Smirks a bit at the 'should relax' part.]

That depends on what you're interested in. A lot of things happen around here.

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

A lot of things, actually. Magic, science, adventure and the likes -- the interesting kind, of course.

[diamondusts.livejournal.com]

Well, as far as magic goes there are usually spells once a month, so watch out for those. For science... I know there are quite a few labs around here, I'm sure there's something cooking up in there. And adventure-- well, the unversed and heartless give plenty of that.

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

[ A nod -- and then a little critter passed by. It was a Dusk. ]

Unversed and Heartless, huh -- then what was that?

[diamondusts.livejournal.com]

[Glances over at it.]

I believe it is called a dusk. A different form of a Nobody.

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

Nobody. Nice.

[ Actually, wait -- ]

Just to get out out of the way: What's a Heartless and a Nobody? They're new to me and all.

[seasides]

[wow, thanks for that. but hey, there's something you don't see every day, that's for sure, so he'll be over here watching Braig curiously.]

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

[ -- Excuse me, but you seem to have some similarities to a certain princess in the castle he saw. Funny that. ]

Hey there, buddy, can you help me with something?

[seasides]

[yeah, funny indeed.maybe they're related~.]

Possibly. What did you need, an explanation?

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

Yes, please. I don't exactly have a map of this place.

[seasides]

Alright, you're in an interdimensional crossroads. There are hundreds of versions of some people, when you die you just come back, and there's no exit.

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

[ . . . Oh. Oh. He ends up laughing. ]

I'd be worried, but this could be more interesting than what we've got back home.

[seasides]

Oh?

[that's definitely not the normal reaction. then again, this guy doesn't seem that normal anyway.]

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

It's fun to jump out of the norm -- what excites you, you know. That is... do you hate this place?

[seasides]

I can't hate.

[dryly.]

And no, I've gotten pretty used to it.

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for it, Red -- speaking of that. Got a name?

[seasides]

You first.

[he certainly knows who the guy looks like, so he's got a hunch.]

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

[ This kid's a sharp one at least -- ]

Braig.

[seasides]

[nods. that's what he thought.]

Kai.

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

[ Kai + interdimensional crossroads + hundreds of versions of some people -- ]

Prince Kai, right?

[seasides]

And people question your Nobody's intelligence. Technically, sure, but I don't exactly go by my "title".

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

-- Nobody? Now that's something new to me.

[ Translation: Please elaborate. ]

[seasides]

Hmmm~.

[considering whether or not to tell him.]

Do you know what a Heartless is?

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

Not a thing, although an explanation would be nice.

[seasides]

Hm, guess you haven't gotten there yet.

[taps a finger on his chin as he thinks.]

Well, you'll find out from someone here eventually anyway, so I might as well tell you. Heartless are... something like the darkness in peoples' hearts given form. The only thing they care about is hearts, and they'll take them from anyone with one. As for Nobodies, when someone's heart is taken, depending on how strong they were, the empty shell that was left behind will gain a "life" of its own.

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

[ BRB PROCESSING (time: three seconds) -- he nods. ]

And I get a Nobody, apparently. The thing is, I don't remember anything called a Heartless back home.

What happened?

[seasides]

Oh, you know, group of jackasses decided to do some disgusting experiments that no man, woman, or sentient being should ever have done.

[waves a hand dismissively.]

Unleashed these things, which various people proceeded to try and command, which for the most part ended in utter failure and the destruction of entire worlds.

['Sup, have a guy in a hood. The voice may be a little familiar, though...]

Now there's a face I haven't seen in a while.

[bulletbites.livejournal.com]

[ That body is familiar but -- ]

I'd say it's nice to meet you again, but you're kind of in a mystery suit, Mister E.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

[Xigbar just laughs. It may sound a bit familiar.]

That's kind of the point of the uniform. Keeps guys like me anonymous.
