[ hey dressing room, that armor and that glider that just appeared through a portal probably look pretty familiar, though they're different colors than a Ven's.

the armor disappears, revealing a Vanitas in something...very like a normal Ven's clothing, down to the shoulder armor and badge of apprenticeship, though the colors are different here, too.

Said Vanitas is looking... rather confused at all the doubles.

someone want to help him out? ]

[S'up, random person who appeared out of nowhere. Have a kid looking at you in awe.]

[derparture.livejournal.com]

[ ... whoa, what. Why do you feel familiar, little kid. Staring contest, go-- ]

[cerulific.livejournal.com]

[Too bad he loses immediately and kind of. Jumps up and down.]

That was so cool!

[derparture.livejournal.com]

... Thanks.

[ wtf, why do I know you I walked with you once upon a dream. ]

You are awesome. Nuff said.

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

[Well there's a girl over here looking at you rather curiously. She'd probably help if he asked.]

fjhdg thanks :>

[derparture.livejournal.com]

[ ... right, Master said he should be polite to strangers. too bad he didn't listen to any of that stuff about the ~world order~. ]

Hey, uh... Do you know what world this is?

^^

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

[Tilts her head a little.]

It's actually a crossroads of worlds.

[radiantbouquet.livejournal.com]

[Well that new kid sure isn't the only one who looks confused. This little one is watching him, then looking around and slowly making her way to him.

This place is weird.]

[derparture.livejournal.com]

[ aaa tiny thing what. Maybe if he pretends not to see her-- Not stopping her or anything, though she does get a slightly skeptical look. ]

[radiantbouquet.livejournal.com]

[Reaches and catches his hand, giving a small tug and a small frown.] Where are we? [Hey you're the first person she saw.]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[No, he doesn't want to help you out. He wants you dead. Six feet under. Maybe twelve. Maybe just scattered to the wind.

Fortunately for Vanitas, Eraqus is currently Keyblade-less and so is forced to resort to slowly charging Light between his hands as he glowers at the boy from the doorway he just stepped through.

Guess that's one way to give a newcomer a warm welcome.]

You.

[derparture.livejournal.com]

... Master?

[ Takes an automatic step back. He figured Eraqus would be mad about the whole running away thing, but not to the point of attacking him. ]

[mastereraqus.livejournal.com]

[Still charging. That outfit being so similar to Ven's just adds insult to injury.]

Never again will your existence threaten the worlds!

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Why hey there, it's a younger white-haired Terra kid his age giving him a smile. One that's masking a certain amount of confusion...]

Are you okay?

[derparture.livejournal.com]

Ter--

[ ...wait. ]

...Yeah, I'm fine.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[That first comment gets a little frown from Xehanort. What was he about to say?... but he perks up when he replies.]

That's good, then. You just looked a bit ... lost for a moment, I thought.

[memorygank.livejournal.com]

...This is getting sort of weird around here.

[crosses her arms and tilts her head, man you BBS guys confuse her so hard]

[derparture.livejournal.com]

...What is?

[ the feeling is more than mutual. Ow his brain. ]

[memorygank.livejournal.com]

Well...you sort of. I thought I saw you before but you were all...

[vague gesture at your attire] Different.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Dum de dum dum. That ice cream was good, but now he's got to be careful, lest someone sneak up on him like a ninja.

-- Wait. Red armor? His armor? And---

Hello, Van. Have a staring Ventus in similar clothes.]

What---

[derparture.livejournal.com]

[ staring right back! Mostly because of the outfit. ]

... Who are you?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

You mean you don't know?

[SKEPTICAL. For all he know this could be a trick.]

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[She spots him down the hall, pausing, staring at him. Isn't that-

But that's impossible... Why does he look like Ven? And so she just stares, unsure.]

[derparture.livejournal.com]

...Aqua?

[ What are you doing here, I thought you were in the Land of Departure still. Approaches her. ]

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[He's coming closer? But why? He's not even acting like Vanitas. She straightens herself.]

Stop where you are.

[She holds out a hand, summoning her Keyblade into her hand, Master Eraqus'.]
