[001] Video

[oldestfriend]

[There is much scratching and moving noises before the screen finally clears up. It's pointed straight at the sky before things straighten out. There's a blur where an observant person might be able to recognize New Bark Town and then the trainer appears. She brings about a strange deja vu although it'd be super rare for anyone to actually remember her. She beams regardless, her backdrop a bit of water. There's splashing to be heard.]

Sweet, it's working! Oh, hey there. I'm... Dee. New here, although I keep hearing that's not a recent and spiffy development. Just figuring out this thing...

Still a bit lost, 'tho, I gotta say. [Judging by the laugh she gives, it has not even vaguely occurred to her to be bothered. At all.]

I don't suppose there's anyone out there who can point me in the right direction? Route 29 is looking like the only way out, but even one way streets can be tricky. Besides...

[She trails off, staring up at the cloudy sky.]

...Something seems up.

[Even if Envy wasn't really one to strike up a conversation with anyone, there was something unsettlingly familiar about this girl, and he doesn't like being unsettled for seemingly no reason.] Yeah, that path is the one. Takes a couple days to reach the next town.

...Who are you?

((ooc: hopefully that is okay? :D;;;))

_{[Despite it not being humanly possibly, her grin widens. She doesn't often claim people as 'hers' like her brother can with dreamers or her youngest sister with the mad, but the homunculi have a special tie to her.]}

A few days, huh? Well, I better get a move on! It'll be fun. Poor Ronmeer will be stuck for a while...

I just said my name, Envy. <sub>[So teasing.]


((OOC: Ffft, totally. So giddy right now, ha. ))</sub>

[Okay, this was getting really strange. He scowled at the girl, trying to figure out what to make of her, or figure out if he'd seen her before at all.] How do you know my name?

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

We met. A long time ago.

_{[She winks, as if sharing a joke.]}

[The video screen is at an odd angle and Greed has a playful look on his]

Hey there, Dee, name's Greed. I'm on th' road outta town already. Need some company? Lucky an' me would be glad t' provide some. Don't really know what th' hell's goin on here, but that don't seem like too much of a problem t' me.

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Greed!

_{[Wow, so many homunculi about! Still, it's a nice sight. Besides, who can resist shades like that?]}

I'd love to go along with you. Gimme a minute to pack up Ronmeer and I'll see you in a bit.

_{[More shuffling as the screen move, along with a few other things.]}

Re: [video]

[greedismyname.livejournal.com]

[Greed cracks a smile that seems to take up his whole face]

I'll see you then, pretty lady. When we get to a town, I'll buy us some drinks, huh?

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

If it makes you happy.

<sub>[Still smiling, she terminates the feed so she can finish packing up.]


((OOC: Oh, it's part of his charm. XD I suppose that'd be the way to go. I'm still floundering about a bit, ignore me if I bumble up. XD; ))</sub>

[There's something so familiar about her, and Sai usually has an excellent memory so he frowns in a concentrating way for a while before he realizes the video is on.]

The sky is strange, isn't it? No sun for days...

[He smiles though] The town down the road has lots of exciting places to eat!

Re: [video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Really? I've just gotten here...

<sub>[She frowns for a moment, lost in thought. Just because she doesn't have her usual cosmic title on at the moment doesn't mean she's blind to signs. At the mention of food, she perks up again.]

Oh! That sounds wonderful! Is that where you're at? The town down the road?</sub>

[video]

[go-type.livejournal.com]

No... Kaiba-san was in a hurry, but we're not too far down the road, I think! I'm sure he'll stop at the next town for a while.

[video] whoops, html fail.

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Great! Maybe me and Greed will see you soon, then.

I look forward to seeing you, Sai. _{[All smiles.]}

[foolishwren]

Wow, you're taking this better than most of the newbies do...

_{[Heather does tilt her head a little-- deja vu's right-- and something about this chick is pinging the ol' mental radar a little more strongly than it might for most, considering... well, considering how many times Heather has actually died. Lol reincarnation and rebirth lol.]}

Route 29's the only way outta that town, and it's a pretty straight shot to the next one.

Stay outta the tall grass unless you want your face gnawed off by mutant purple rats though.

[Video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

I have a bit of an advantage. This isn't the strangest thing I've been through.

_{[For quite possibly that exact same reason, "Dee's" smile softens a bit. It's back in its usual eternally perky state in seconds.]}

Ah ha! I knew there was a catch! Purple rats, got it. I'm on my way right now with a friend of mine. Are you in the next town too?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[For some reason, that gets a chuckle out of Heather. Man, ain't that the truth for a lot of people here! But this 'Dee' is probably one of the calmest thus far, even so. It's sort of refreshing. Heather... can't exactly claim SHE'D been the calmest upon arrival, after all-- despite her somewhat questionably-normal background.]}

Heh! Touche.

And nah. I've been here awhile. I'm a good long way from that cluster of shacks everybody shows up in. _{[She was hesitant to even call it a 'town'. It was more like a neighborhood.]}

But you'll hit that town after walking ... eh. Four days or so. S'not too arduous.

[video]

[noob-doctor.livejournal.com]

You're in New Bark Town, too? [yes, Derek.] This weather is a bit unsettling -- but it could be worse.

[video] 1/2

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Everything can always get worse, but sometimes the world realizes what will come before people do.

[video] 2/2

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Still, I suppose I shouldn't worry too much! I have a friend I'm traveling with now. We're on the route.

_{[Leans towards the screen curiously.]}

Do you need any company on the road? If you're still stuck in town...

[video]

[noob-doctor.livejournal.com]

It's better to travel together -- if either of us get injured, the other can help. So I guess it'd be okay... [ah, if only he knew what you were.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

There's just Route 29 if you want to get to any other towns. It takes about three days to get to Cherrygrove.


I'm Roxas.

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Oooh, an actual number! That's an improvement.

Nice to meet you, Roxas. Ever think about smiling more?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

It's a pretty straightforward route.

Uh...well...maybe. When there's something to smile about.

[Serious kid is serious.]

[usedclamp.livejournal.com]

The weather is a bit unsettling, hm? I haven't seen the sun at all since I've arrived.

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

I've heard that it's been like this for a while. Makes me wish there was someone I could talk to about it...

_{[She's thinking less 'weatherman' and more 'gods', but doesn't mention it right now.]}

Still, I suppose all we can do until we know more is hope for it to pass, right?

[usedclamp.livejournal.com]

If if there were, it doesn't seem as if they'd be too easy to contact.

Who knows? Perhaps it'll clear up soon enough. It doesn't look quite like the type of clouds for rain though, hm?
