NOT FUNNY, TERRA!

[A few certain apprentices may recognize the area inside that open door.

It's a outdoor room, the main feature, a possibly familiar punishment training place: A large waterfall.

Wander inside though, and you'll hear a scream from up top as this new (and a little younger than normal) Aqua is thrown over the edge. Worry not though. Because she manages to recover enough to dive gracefully into the deeper part of the water.

She resurfaces quickly, shaking water out of her hair, before looking up at the top of the waterfall and yelling-]

TERRA!!!!!!!!!!

[Oooh...Somebody's gonna get hurt real bad when she gets her hands on them.]

[...Uh oh. This Ven was watching from a safe distance, but since she fell...

He'll, uh. Inch closer.]

[premaster.livejournal.com]

[Oh dont worry. Small blond derps aren't on her target list right now.

But before she can go find and beat the person who is on her list, she'll just be getting out of the water now.]

[prevanity.livejournal.com]

[Right. He'll... continue getting closer.]

Um... are you okay?

[premaster.livejournal.com]

[Blinks and looks at him.

...Did Master take in a new apprentice while she wasn't looking or something?]

Uh, yeah. I'm fine.

...Who are you?

[prevanity.livejournal.com]

Ventus.

[It's unlikely that he's one of Eraqus' apprentices, since he lacks the shoulder armor, the emblem, and the straps.]

[premaster.livejournal.com]

[Well, yes. She just hasn't seen him around before.

Glances back at the top of the waterfall. She cant see Terra. She guesses he's run off so she cant catch him. She can afford to talk to the kid for a little while longer.]

Hi, Ventus. My name's Aqua. When did you get here?

[prevanity.livejournal.com]

I just found this room.

[Maybe she's new? Hmm.]

But I've been here for a while.

[Maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months. He lost track after a while.]

[premaster.livejournal.com]

Room?

[For a while? You're confusing the poor girl.]

[prevanity.livejournal.com]

This place has rooms that look like other worlds, but they're not real.

[...yep. Definitely new.]

[premaster.livejournal.com]

[Even if that were true though, that doesn't explain how she got there. So she remains skeptical.]

I've never heard of anything like that before.

[prevanity.livejournal.com]

Neither did I. The Master never mentioned worlds like this.

[A beat.]

When I came here, the whole place was flooded.

[premaster.livejournal.com]

[Was going to ask about the Master thing, but became distracted at the mention of flooding. That's definitely never happened in the Land of Departure.]

....So, what is this place then?

[prevanity.livejournal.com]

Some kinda crossroads. That's what most people call it.

[premaster.livejournal.com]

....A crossroads, of what exactly?

[She has a guess of what it could be...But it's totally impossible, right?]

[prevanity.livejournal.com]

Worlds, dimensions... I'm probably not the best guy to ask.

[premaster.livejournal.com]

[...This is one of those rare times she wishes she would be wrong more often.]

...

[prevanity.livejournal.com]

...Sorry.

[He didn't mean to upset her, but isn't it better to know the truth than to worry about her friends or anyone else who might not be here?]

[premaster.livejournal.com]

[She will still worry. It's what she does.]

...O-okay. Um, how do I leave then?

[prevanity.livejournal.com]

[He's a little hesitant about answering, especially since he already said something unpleasant.

...But he might as well be honest.]

You just wait. Sometimes people go, but they never know when it'll happen.

[premaster.livejournal.com]

...W-what?!

[prevanity.livejournal.com]

I know it sounds weird. I still don't really understand, but that's what everyone's told me so far...

And I've been here for a few months.

[premaster.livejournal.com]

[Okay.Okay......Okay.

She can, keep training here until she gets back! Yeah! And then...Try to explain to Terra and Eraqus and have them think she's crazy. SOB.]
