Compassion

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[Eraqus hasn't had the easiest time adjusting to the dressing room. First there was the attack by those Heartless, then there was the incident of walking in on Ven suffering from a bad case of hand-to-panty magnetism with a young girl the Master had never met, and just yesterday, he learned there are rooms around here that magically strip you down to your underwear. He could have gone several lifetimes without that particular experience.

Needless to say, at this point the Keyblade Master is looking for a safe location to rest up. The incident with Ven still bothers him, to the point that all he's really looking to do right now is sit and think it over.

In the end, he settles for something very familiar. The room in question is decorated in alabaster, gold, and teal colors. There are stained glass windows. It's also pretty darn huge.

He takes a seat in one of the thrones situated on the far end of the room and... proceeds with the thinking. Mulling.]

[Heeey, this room is familiar--

--oh. S-stops at the doorway.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[He hasn't even had much time to mull properly and there you are. Sigh. No use shooing you off.]

Ven.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Here, have another blond midget--

... Snap.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[... Wait, wait. Weren't you just here?]

Ventus?

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

-- I've always wanted to see this place.

[ KIHIHIHI I WANT A KEYBLADE. She pretty much makes a nice stroll in it, though. Hood up. ♥ ]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[Oh, that's not suspicious at all. Eraqus stands up and, sure enough, summons his Keyblade. Just a warning. Not even a particularly fierce one.]

Can I help you, miss?

[sepia-heart.livejournal.com]

[Oh no you didn't.]

Still over analyzing everything?

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[/adjusts crotch guard]

Is there something wrong with striving to understand all facets of a troubling situation?

[Standing up to greet her with a bow.]

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

[... Whoa. Fancy room is v. fancy.

Riku is pretty much impressed.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[It's pretty bling. We Keyblade Masters have a soft spot for the bling. He'll just watch Riku take a look around from where he's seated.]

[seasides]

[huh. this is a room Kai's never seen before. hope you don't mind that rabbit hopping on over to you while Kai's peeking in and looking around, Eraqus.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[... Well, that's strange. Hardly offensive, but strange. He leans over in his seat to get a better look.]

Where did you come from, little one?

[tinyf1re]

[brb crashing through one of the windows from the other side, somehow. lands hard on one shoulder with a grunt in the middle of the rain of multicolored glass fragments, clothing smoking faintly.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[..... Blink. More than a blink, actually. Sort of leaping out of his seat, Keyblade summoned, prepared for another attack. With a blink in there somewhere.

Is that a- a kid that just burst through the window?]

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

[Hope you dont mind this girl walking into the room. She's been looking for a place away from everything too.

But the moment she sees someone else is in the room, she hesitates. Sorry, she's suspicious of people she hasn't met before.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[He looks up briefly, not recognizing the someone standing near the doorway. She doesn't appear to be any sort of threat.]

Can I help you?

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[While you're busy mulling, don't mind a particularly curious Ven-lookalike peering in to look around.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[Hm? That's curious. He turns his attention to the kid, watching him quietly.]

[diamondusts.livejournal.com]

[Well she was looking around for more heartless and unversed to take care of, but seeing him causes her to stop and stare for a minute. Awkward moment before or not, he's obviously looking troubled and that worries her.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[Oh, hello, Aqua. Good to see you fully dressed. He glances over at her briefly, then returns to his mulling.]

I didn't know this room was here.

[please-stand-up.livejournal.com]

[Not quite what he expected from the place, but it's certainly a very nice room.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[Who knew Keyblade Masters had a thing for bright decor? He watches the stranger, not recognizing him right away.]

[chronoaetas.livejournal.com]

[Let's break Eraqus, shall we? There's a girl entering that room, looking totally awed and fangirly because she only heard about this from dad and--

Oh hey. What did Uncle Terra teach her? O rite. Stays silent, waiting to be acknowledged.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[He's already broken. Now you're just stomping around on the shattered pieces of him. But he looks up. Hm, something seems awfully familiar about that young woman. He greets her with a nod.]

I take it you've never seen this room before.

oh what the hell /throws her too

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[Does it usually smell like orchids in here? If not, then he might realize there's a certain Namine standing right outside the doorway, debating on whether or not to say something.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[Nope. Usually smells like the blood, sweat, and tears of those Keyblade apprentices who flunked their exams. :c Orchids is a nice change of pace. Ah, and he recognizes that Namine. He stands and moves a step away from the thrones, watching her closely.]

[summer_poprocks]

[and here's another Ven lookalike peering into the room, his arms full of some sort of wadded up cloth]

Whoa...

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[He smiles just a little at the boy's awe. He certainly looks like Ven, but if he doesn't recognize this room...]

What is it?
