- and I'll be gone;

[Pass by the library today and you might see this Aqua, seated at one of the tables with a big pile of books by her. That's not too odd.

What is odd is that all of the books seem to be about Darkness, or the Heart.]

[Is that a Dusk staying near her, floating lazily.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[...eyes it suspiciously.]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[It doesn't seem to notice her, just flailing around. Pretty harmless.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[...gets up to examine it closer, then. That's pretty weird.]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[It keeps floating around...

... until suddenly lunging at something behind her back. A Sorcerer just materialized behind her unknowingly, it seems. The Dusk grapples with the stronger Nobody for several moments until disappears, and the Dusk plops down almost lifelessly, drooping from its injuries.

Yes, it did it "protect" her. If she walks closer, she'll see that apart from the insignia of the Nobody, it has another embelished symbol on its "face"

Eraqus symbol.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[....... Walks closer, placing a hand on it lightly.]

Can you take me to the person who sent you?

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[It sways a little weakly. Those weren't its orders.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

Please?

[What if she pets it.]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[... this is the first time it has ever felt pettings before. It gets up weakly and slowly glides in the air, presumably leading the way.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[...Cure. :< It works on humanoid Nobodies, so it should work on this one too, right? Follows.]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[That makes it fly steadier /o/ It's a bit more enthusiastic to lead now.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[Hee c: She's keeping an eye out for any other Nobodies now.]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[Halfway there, several more Sorcerers show up. The Dusk circles her feet repeatedly, and more Nobodies appear, this time Samurais, flinging themselves at the Sorcerers..

Except the helmets look strangely familiar, they have the same emblem on their "foreheads" and they all hold their right hand swords in reverse.

... looks like Terra has his own brand of Nobodies now.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[GO TERRA GO *\o/* Stays back, though her Keyblade flashes into her hand, just in case.]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[One of the Samurais "look" at her, before disappearing after they finish the Sorcerers off.

Derpy the Dusk, as Terra fondly calls him, continues on.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[He's so good with naming things. La la la, walking.]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[Shush, you. at least he's better in designing them? The Creeper and Assasin Nobodies in this area all bear the same insignia, once or twice the Creepers turning into what looks like Keyblade shapes, the Assasins, instead of turning into flat discs like Axel's chakrams, turn into sharp, star shaped objects instead. Looks like this place is covered.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[...as long as no one tries to kill the Nobodies, right. Eyes them as she passes, noting the symbols on them.]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[Once they reach the door, Derpy slides into the door crack. And two Dancers materialize in front of the door, as if guardians. Aqua should recognize the design; it's obvious. The dancers looks like they have skirts, very very similar to her own, with long, detached sleeves, and even a little additional heart design on their chests. It was obviously done as an accompaniement to the Samurais earlier.

One tilts its head to the side, before they both spin gracefully away from Aqua like ballerinas, granting her passage.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[A-aw. c: Knocks on the door.]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[No answer. Derpy slides out and waves a claw(?) at her from under the crack to show her to come on in anyway.

.. you know, he was named Derpy for a reason. The attitude seems to based on someone. Both Dancers look like they're giggling at that.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[Why are you so cute, Derpy. :| Pushes the door open, peeking in.]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[Piles of research paper, ice cream wrapper, and books in the room, and there's Terra, looking normal, but exhausted. He's slumped in his seat, asleep, with designs of Nobodies, concepts about hearts and research data (and the occasional doodle out of boredom here and there; there's even a game of XOX. Don't let that fool you, Derpy beat him on that ) are on his desk. Derpy starts circling the ceiling like a predator, a crayon in his claw.

... maybe he made that thing too much like the real thing.]

[clepsydras.livejournal.com]

[... looks around, locating a blanket and placing it around his shoulders gently. :<]

[restoredlight.livejournal.com]

[He shifts a little at the contact, mumbling something inaudible.]
