1st Rockslide : Video

[rockbreakinandrollin]

[There's a very... interesting looking young man on the network tonight, standing with a Black Guilmon next to him. They're fiddling with the D-Comm, and arguing about it.]

--know what I’m doing, I’m not completely incompetent.

No, just mostly.

Would it kill you be a little nicer to me, Iwa? You’re the one who said we’re partners.

... it’s on.

What? … oh. Uh.

[He steps back a ways, making his odd clothing and large weapon in his hand easier to see. He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.]

My name is Terra. I’m looking for some people. Their names are Aqua and Ventus-- well, Ven. He goes by Ven. They might be in trouble... injured... if they're here, I really need to find them...

Do you always ramble like this?

… [ a sharp sigh ] I need to find them. They might be in trouble. Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

[ before any more bickering can be heard, Terra moves closer and shuts the comm off ]

Holy crap, did Yggdrasil just turn on a faucet to start pumping out new people here or what?

Just poked one of our guys here at DATS, and we ain't never heard of any folks named that in this world, man.

[rockbreakinandrollin]

I... guess so.

[Terra scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. He'd already gotten from both Rarity and Riku that his friends weren't here so for the moment he's just... going to pretend he isn't as upset as he is.

And Iwa explained Yggdrasil at least.]

Sorry, what's DATS?

[kenkabanchou]

DATS is basically this world's Tamer defense force, fightin' all the nasty sons of bitches that want to make the rest of this place miserable.

Sorry your buddies aren't here, but that happens to a lot of folks here, unfortunately.

[rockbreakinandrollin]

Defense force? Hmn...

[he puts a finger to his lips in thought, glancing away as he does so]

So... I'm really stuck here then? Like... if I tried to use my glider, or open a portal to the lanes between, it wouldn't work?

[kenkabanchou]

Dunno what the hell those things are, dude, but ... yeah, you're pretty stuck.

Lots of smart folks, folks a lot smarter than me, have tried to figure out ways off of this rock. It just ain't gonna happen.

Yggdrasil's kind of a prick that way.

You gotta make do with what you've got, pretty much.

[rockbreakinandrollin]

[huff. Figures.]

He doesn't sound nice, no. Especially dragging me here during--

... [awkward cough] N-nevermind.

I'm guessing that means... job, home, the domestic kind of things?

[kenkabanchou]

Trust me - Yggdrasil also has a habit of draggin' stuff from wherever you come from with you. For ... better or worse.

But, yeah. That sort of thing. Luckily, my job is kickin' ass, so it's not like that's much different from home!

Though I guess I do have to deal with the domestic thing now, more, that you mention it...

[rockbreakinandrollin]

[This time, just a grunt. He looks at his keyblade, actually grateful it came with him. That and his Wayfinder are his only connections to his friends right now.

He sighs again and lets the keyblade vanish in a flash of light.]

If that's the case, then I might need to look in to DATS. I really don't like being idle for very long. Not that I'm any good at being domestic...

[kenkabanchou]

You work fast, don't ya? Nice sword you've got there, though.

So, what IS your deal, then?

And I ain't any good at it either. At least, I wasn't. Things change when y'don't have much a choice.

[rockbreakinandrollin]

Sword?

Oh. [he lifts his hand and realizes it again] This is a keyblade. I was training to be a Keyblade Master with my friends before I got here. I've been training for it since I was little, even.

[conveniiiiiently going to leave out all the bad shit that happened after his Mark of Mastery exam. And how he kinda failed it.]

[kenkabanchou]

Blade, sword.

It's made to hit things with, right? That's what's important. We've got one swordsman- err, woman in my division. Certainly couldn't hurt with another, if you can back that up against the sorta stuff we fight in this place.

"Master," though, eh? Interesting!

But, yeah. You do realize the kind of threats we're up against here, yeah?

[rockbreakinandrollin]

Basically. That's not the only thing I can do with it, either.

[He grins for a second, but it fades.]

I've been told. Doesn't sound pleasant, but it's nothing I can't handle.
