Between the lines of fear and blame (spoilers)

[There's a Terra trekking through one of the Dressing Room hallways. A passerby wouldn't have to be too observant to notice that the wide-eyed, slack-jawed, and all-around bewildered expression on his face pretty much reads "new arrival". He might as well have a flashing arrow hanging over his head, pointing out just how new to this place he is. He doesn't seem all that intimidated by the abrupt change in his surroundings or by the many doubles wandering around, though: as far as he's concerned, this is a dream. It has to be a dream, right? That's the only explanation that makes any sense.

Even if, with the initial adrenaline rush tapering off, he still feels as tired- no, as mentally and physically exhausted as he had moments before he'd found himself in this dream world, even if it had hurt when he'd caught the edge of his shoe on the floor, tripped, and hit the wall with his shoulder earlier, even if his shoulder still aches now, this has to be a dream. It has to be.

Rubbing at his arm again, he stops to lean against a closed door. He slumps against it, letting his heavy eyelids shut for just a second or two. It is about then that the door gives way, swinging out from under his weight. Terra's deposited none too gracefully onto the cold ground inside the room. He can't help the startled shout and gasp that escapes his throat as he lands on his sore shoulder.

He stays down at first, working to get the air back into his lungs, as well as to will away the pain. He won't waste precious energy summoning his Keyblade to Cure spell something as minor as a bruise. Terra lifts his head a moment later only to notice the dimly lit path that snakes out ahead of him. Darkness surrounds the path on both sides. Strange formations decorated by glowing blue streaks jut out of the shadows. He all but scrambles to his feet, aforementioned soreness forgotten.]


No... Not again! Not back here again!

[A soft, shuffling groan from somewhere deep within the darkness is his answer. Yes, Terra. Oh yes. The Darksides appear one at a time, drawing themselves up to their full heights. Terra can only stare at first, but finally the fear is replaced by a tired flicker of aggravation... or maybe that's determination. He holds his hand out as if to summon his Keyblade only to reconsider before the weapon appears. His fingers hurriedly search one of his hakama's pockets instead. His glare flicks from the orange charm he soon produces, up to the Darksides.]

If this is how it has to be...

[He holds the charm to his chest, closes his eyes tight, and waits. Trust. He's got to trust in that bond. He even thinks to smile, remembering the first time those flashes of light, those Keyblades, helped him out of a tight spot. He'll never again forget how much his friends mean to him or how much he means to his friends.

...

Anyone who happens to be walking down that corridor might find themselves being run into by a man who, despite his size, has been flung back through the doorway by the impact of one of the Darkside's attacks.]

[It's definitely alarming to see a Terra tossed out of a room. Not only because of his strength and stature, but because of who he is.

And Ven, being one who cares so deeply for friends (even alternate versions of them), doesn't even hesitate to summon his Keyblade and rush right in front of Terra. Right now it's pretty obvious that he could use the help.]

1/2

[identity profile] erasemefriend.livejournal.com 2010-07-24 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Hold on a sec. He's going to do a quick Strike Raid at whatever's in that room.]

[identity profile] erasemefriend.livejournal.com 2010-07-24 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[And then he'll turn to face Terra once his Keyblade ricochets back to him.]

You okay, Terra?

[identity profile] erasemefriend.livejournal.com 2010-07-24 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Good. The last thing they need is a big battle in the middle of the hall.

But Ven doesn't move an inch when Terra reaches for him. The fact that he winds up 'asleep' isn't anything new, although if Terra knows that...

He frowns. This is going to be tough.]


It's... kind of a long story.

[Dismissing his Keyblade, Ven rubs at one of his cheeks, looking a little hesitant. How's he going to approach this without sounding insane? It might take more for Terra to believe the nature of the Dressing Room, after all.]

[gah! not something she expected, and she just barely manages to get out of the way of that. of course, she's summoning her Keyblade immediately, tossing a Cura over Terra before launching toward the Darksides.]
skybright: (holy cats!)

[personal profile] skybright 2010-07-24 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[she stops short, skidding to a halt as she turns to look at him, wide-eyed.]

What?!
skybright: (wait this is dorkier)

[personal profile] skybright 2010-07-24 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
I know it's dangerous!

[why do you think she's got her keyblade out, gosh.]

That's me.

[Well.

That's enough to make this Xehanort drop the book she was reading. Scientific detachment put aside for once - there's a time and a place for that - she frowns, heads over. That couldn't have been pleasant for the poor guy, she thinks. Just going to check on him, seeing as she's already here.]

Are you alright?

[identity profile] exmariascientia.livejournal.com 2010-07-24 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse me?

[She blinks. Seriously, what? He must've hit his head pretty hard, she thinks... but she'll give him a sympathetic smile. That can't be a nice way to arrive.]

I'm afraid you've got me confused with someone else. But let's get you sorted out.

[identity profile] exmariascientia.livejournal.com 2010-07-24 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[She peers at it, at him... it almost hurts to have to say it, with the way he's acting so enthusiastic, but-]

I'm afraid I haven't seen anything like that. It's - ah. Pretty, though.

What is it with this muse coming back everytime a Terra is in trouble :|;

[identity profile] diamondusts.livejournal.com 2010-07-24 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[As if that charm was a calling card, an Aqua appears suddenly, springing into action at the sight. She sends a Cure Terra's way as she runs past him and into that room to fire multiple Fire spells at whatever it is that just hurt him, followed by Fire Blazer. That should have taken care of any immediate threats, so she turns slightly to look over at him.]

Are you alright?

Indeed!

[identity profile] diamondusts.livejournal.com 2010-07-24 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[YAY SANTA. Aqua turns to face him straight now, clearly confused.]

I'm not the one flying through doorways...

Oops.

[identity profile] diamondusts.livejournal.com 2010-07-24 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't make me put her in this (http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/musoticawear_2117_83428396.gif). Now she looks even more confused, concern mixing into the expression.]

My heart is fine, Terra. You must have me mixed up with someone else.
