Video 001

[seasaltkey]

[A screen pops up and at first nothing is seen, though the noise of something rubbing against the screen is plainly heard. There's a muffled voice before whatever was rubbing against it was pulled away. There's now a blond haired boy on the screen, a blue bird with cloud like wings on his shoulder.]

Doesn't look like the fall broke it, Sky... Huh? It's on?

[The boy stood straighter and looked around.]

I guess we can send a message this way.

[He looks down at the screen again as his little friend chirps.]

If anyone can hear this, can you tell me what's going on? This lady said she was my mom, and there was this old guy who gave me a red and white ball and talked about Pokémon. Is that what Sky is? She just looks like a bird with clouds for wings.

[Sky objects to this and chirps shrilly into her trainer's ears. This causes the boy to drop the device, which promptly lands on the grass. Now there's just a view of the sky and muffled grumbling.]

Ventus! I'm so glad to see you, even if you-

[She stops. A couple details start standing out to her. Like the shade of his hair. And his eyes.]

Ah... you aren't who I thought you were, are you?

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

[Now he has people calling him by a different name?]

I don't know anyone named Ventus... I'm Roxas.

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

Sorry. You just look a great deal like a friend of mine... if it weren't for your hair and eye color you could be identical twins.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

Really?

[He doesn't have any siblings that he knows of...]

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

Yes, but... I'm sure it's just a coincidence. I mean I can't imagine what the odds would be of you two actually having anything to do with each other. You probably aren't even from the same world.

[Somewhere in the multiverse, the plot of Kingdom Hearts gains sentience long enough to laugh itself silly at Twilight Sparkle.]

So let's start this over, shall we? It's nice to meet you, Roxas. I'm Twilight Sparkle.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

The only people I know that are here from my world are Sora, Riku, and Naminé.

[Hopefully that will break something.]

Twilight Sparkle? That's kind of cool. I'm from a place called Twilight Town!

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

Oh I know them. Wait but... Ventus was from their world too. Or their... worlds, I guess.

[And now she's back to being horribly confused.]

... It's still probably just coincidence. [No it's not, but she has no idea what it means so that's just easier to say.]

Let's focus elsewhere. What was Twilight Town like?

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

I guess I can ask Sora?

[He doesn't feel comfortable telling a stranger that he's technically half of Sora's heart. Nope. Sora can tell someone. He's happy to be a completely normal kid right now.]

It was great! I had my friends there. [They're not real, Roxas. He's going to keep smiling to not worry her.] The town was always in twilight. I guess that would be weird to a lot of people...

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

[She decides not to pursue the subject any further. It's just weirding her out at this point.]

That sounds out and out impossible, frankly, but then again there was a time where someone I know tried to plunge my world into everlasting night.

... Was it hard to sleep with the sun still out?

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

[For some reason the whole everlasting night thing pulls at his memories. So it's not too odd to him.]

Not really. I just closed my curtain.

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

Yeah, I guess that is the most sensible option.

So did you never actually see full day or full night?

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

Not until I came here!

[friendyousohard]

Wow. That must have been a bit of a shock. I'm surprised you didn't start screaming in horror about the sky going dark.

[seasaltkey]

Why would I scream in horror about that?

[friendyousohard]

... So you'd never seen day or night before, you didn't know what they were, but you weren't bothered by them? Even though it meant something as huge and omnipresent as the sky doing things you'd never seen before?

[seasaltkey]

Not really. Just because I live in Twilight Town doesn't mean I don't know about night and day.

[He's seen night and day in his dreams/Sora's memories.]

[friendyousohard]

[Well it's a good thing he has a reason for that, because now she's really confused.]

... Wait, but if you live in a place without night or day, how did you learn about it?

[seasaltkey]

[Oh. He was trying to avoid this. Time to sound crazier? Make up an excuse?]

I had dreams about them.

[That's technically not a lie.]

[friendyousohard]

Dreams.

[Twilight considers this for a few seconds before deciding to just go with it.]

Okay, given what I've seen happen in dreams in this world, I'm inclined to believe that, or at least give you the benefit of the doubt.

[seasaltkey]

[Awkward potential questions avoided.]

Right. Thanks.

[friendyousohard]

Aaaanyway, so what was it like aside from not having a day/night cycle?

[She will keep this conversation going if it's the last thing she does!]

[seasaltkey]

Pretty normal, I guess. I hung out with my friends a lot. There was this really tall clocktower we'd sit on and watch the town. Oh! And we'd eat ice cream together.

[Is he supposed to add more?]

[friendyousohard]

Ah, your friends! [Now here's a topic she knows all about.] Tell me about them, then. There's nothing more important than your friends.

[seasaltkey]

[She wants to know about his friends? Great!]

There's Hayner. He's pretty much the leader of our group, and always has ideas about what we should do! Then there's Olette. She's the only girl in our group, and she's really nice. Though I don't think getting her mad is a good idea. Pence is part of the group, too. He's a really good guy! He's got a lot more patience than Hayner.

[Apt enough descriptions. There's just one more friend.]

My other friend is here. Naminé. She's quiet but that's okay. She's a really good- [Person? Nobody? What was she?]- friend. I'm glad she's here.

[friendyousohard]

Yes, I've spoken to Namine before. She's a very sweet girl. Quite shy though. Reminds me of a friend of mine, actually. Though Fluttershy was always a bit more outgoing around animals than po- er, people, and that translated well to Pokemon when she was in this world with me.

[Ah, that's a little wrinkle she hasn't talked about yet. He should know though. It's rather important.]

Not to jump around topics too much, but has anyone told you about people leaving this world?
