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.]

Yeah, that's more or less what I expected you'd say.

[He sounds so very similar to Sora in so many ways... but Sora'd have mentioned a brother. Must be another coincidence.]

Well, all told, I'm going to be direct with you. I don't really think you're liable to find anything that hasn't already been found in this world unless something brand new opens up to us. I certainly can't stop you from looking, but I don't want you to get your hopes up.

[And the reason for all her questioning comes into focus.]

[seasaltkey]

[If they were closer in age right now, they'd be practically twins. In a weird sort of Kingdom Hearts way.]

I want to find my own answers. Not just have someone tell me what they know. Even is it takes a really long time.

[He's stubborn like that.]

[friendyousohard]

What you want to do and what's possible may not overlap as much as you'd like. But like I said, I certainly can't stop you and I don't intend to try. On the contrary, if you need my help you can always call me. I just... I know how disappointing it can be to pursue an answer for something that you just don't have the resources to explain. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone.

[The Pinkie Sense debacle still haunts her.]

[seasaltkey]

[At least she wasn't making fun of him. That was appreciated.]

Thanks! If I find anything, I'll let you know!

[friendyousohard]

Alright. And I'll tell you if I discover anything I think you'll be interested in, too.

Until then, Roxas.
