......taking the romance path? no, not when you're aqua.

[Here is an Aqua walking into the DR through a door vaguely resembling the gates to the Colisseum, looking rather confused and awkward.  She looks like she's just come out of a fight, as parts of her outfit are singed and her hair's covered in bits of...ice? Hm...still, she looks a bit too out of it to really register her new surroundings.]

...Did he really just...? Maybe I should've...

[She's pretty much gone into Thinky Time Mode, mumbling things to herself.  If one manages to get a closer look at her, they'll see that she's blushing a little.]










[[ooc: Just another canon Aqua, taken right from beating Hades and the Ice Titan and following a certain...awkward incident with a certain black-haired individual with spiky-hair and a big sword.  Sorry, I couldn't resist.  Spoiler-friendly. Also, tags may be slow.]]

Aqua?

[Why's she covered in ice? And...blushing? Curious Ven is absolutely curious.

And Aqua's free to notice that he looks a bit older than the Ven she knows. Kid's been in the DR for almost a year, after all.]

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

Did I hurt his feelings by saying no? It didn't seem like he was upset, but maybe, just maybe---



....Ven?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[ If nothing else, he's definitely gained some height. Kid's in the middle of a growth spurt, in fact.

Either way, he smiles.]

Hey! Did you just get here?

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

E-er, yes, I suppose...though, I was just about to resume the search for Terra...do you know where we are, Ven? W-would Terra also be here?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Sure do. It's kinda hard to explain, though.

[He pauses briefly. Terra... Well, there are a few of him.]

Yeah, he's here! I dunno where, but it can't be too hard to find him.

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

Just explain what you can, Ven. Also...is it just me, or...hm. You look...a little older than when I saw you last...



I...I see...good, at least now I know he's safe.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Ope-- so she noticed. In response, Ven gives a sheepish laugh, rubbing at the back of his neck.]

Well, I've been here for a while. But this place is really different from most worlds. It's huge, and it takes people straight outta their worlds-- their universes and keeps them here. And while you're here time's pretty much frozen back home.

[Why yes, he said that all with a straight face. Be grateful he hasn't touched upon the doubles just yet.

But Terra being 'safe'... he bites his lip for a brief second; after all, that's not the case with his Terra. Of course, he shakes it off quite quickly, his expression shifting to a smile.]

Hey, Terra's really strong. Of course he's safe.

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

You've essentially grown up while you're here, is that what you're saying? Hm. And...even though there's no way out, things will be safe for the time being back home? I...well. It's...certainly a lot to take in. But I'm sure I'll be able to get adjusted---this is really no different from the way things worked back home.



Yes...yes, he is. He's perfectly capable of defending himself even without our aid. We'll run into him eventually, I'm sure. Er... ...you wouldn't have happened to run into a boy with spiky black hair and a sword here, would you...?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

There's more to it, though. I know this'll sound crazy, but there's more than one version of everyone here. So if you see another you, don't worry-- it's not a trick!

And if you need help with anything, you know who to ask.

[Black, spiky hair... and a sword? Oh! Ven nods, flashing her a grin.]

You mean Zack? Yeah, he's here too!

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

I...I see...well, I suppose seeing other versions of myself, you, Terra, or others we know wouldn't be impossible. Since time continues to progress normally here and not where we come from, this place would be between worlds, wouldn't it? Hence why there would be duplicates. I see.

Right. Thank you, Ven.

A-ah...y-yes. Zack. E-er...that's... ...good to know.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Don't mention it! We're friends, after all.

[...Oho. He sees that blush and is quite curious now.]

Hey, Aqua... you okay?

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

A-ah! I--I'm fine, Ven! I'm just a bit tired...fighting both Hades and the Ice Titan was a lot of hard work on my part...

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Uh.. Well, if you're sure.

[He won't pester her about it. If nothing else, he can probably guess what happened, what with Zack being... Zack. It's that second part that worries him.]

Ice Titan? I don't know what that is, but it couldn'tve been easy.

[Hmmm...]

Wanna go lie down somewhere? There's a lot of empty rooms here.

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

...It was a monster summoned by Hades. I would suggest training just in case you ever have to face it, Ven.



I could use some rest, thank you. If only you would lead the way, Ven?

[Hey look Aqua! It's a little you! This Aqua's only five and is currently wear a green t-shirt with pink sleeves, jeans and sneakers, and she's looking up at you in awe.]

You look like a bigger me!

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

E-er?

[babywaterfalls.livejournal.com]

[She's not aware of the brainbreak she just inflicted upon you just yet.]

Did you just get here too?

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

I-I...er...well...y-yes, yes I did. P-pardon my asking, but...would you happen to be...me?

[babywaterfalls.livejournal.com]

If your name's Aqua too, then I guess so.

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am also Aqua. It's...er, nice to meet you, I suppose. How old are you, me?

[babywaterfalls.livejournal.com]

[She smiles a little bit. Thought so!]

I'm five! Oh! Terra came with me! But I think he's exploring somewhere else right now.

[More like she followed him, but who's keeping track?]

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

I see...do you need me to help you look for him? Knowing him, he might be getting himself into trouble.

[babywaterfalls.livejournal.com]

[Have a sheepish little grin and a nod.]

Please?

[lluviacaida.livejournal.com]

Alright. Let's go.

...Have you been staying in this place long?

[babywaterfalls.livejournal.com]

No Terra and I got just got here yesterday.

[Takes grownup-self's hand and hangs on for dear life, pouting a little.]

Somebody said we weren't able to go home either.
