Nobodies and Heartless!

Everyone gets a phone when they become a Nobody, and the phone lists every Nobody's chosen name and number.

There's also a video that opens with:



That has a rainbow backdrop.

It instructs them on eating, sleeping, and Keyblade basics. It's very detailed, with this song looping in the background.

Basically, it's Painfully 80s and looks super grainy (but it's probably obvious that it's all of this On Purpose). Worse, though, it's over 30 minutes long. Even the narrator (who they might later find sounds exactly like Yuri Hyuga) seems incredibly bored.

[He looks at the other two standing on the island, mouth set in a small, thoughtful frown.

It takes him a few minutes to grasp language, but his voice is steady once he finds it.]

What is happening?
light_the_way: (. . . . . ?)

[personal profile] light_the_way 2019-09-02 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ His mouth opens and closes a few times, and then he takes a deep breath a few times before very slowly shakes his head. ]

Who...? Are you?

[ Who is anyone here, tbh, but... ]
argentimperator: (Not pouting)

[personal profile] argentimperator 2019-09-03 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't know.

[Hmmm. Peace or no peace, he doesn't think he's happy about that.]
defining_light: (smile)

[personal profile] defining_light 2019-09-03 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid that's... normal in your cases.

[ He offers each of them a sad smile. ]

But, you can each pick your own names while you're here. Take your time with deciding.

Furthermore, while I understand we're strangers, right now, please try to find it in yourselves to trust in me. I'll answer all of the questions you have, and then we can go have something to eat - my treat.

Does that sound all right with you two?
argentimperator: (Thinking about it)

[personal profile] argentimperator 2019-09-03 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's wary. The reason is nothing he can pin down, perhaps something else he's forgotten, but trust feels hard.

But what other choice does he really have? He nods slowly.]

What 'cases'? What happened to us?
defining_light: (strategy)

[personal profile] defining_light 2019-09-03 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He takes a deep breath. After looking between them, he holds a blink, and then does a single nod. ]

You each lost a part of what makes you... "you" - something that holds your memories.

[ There's a pause as he lets that sink in... ]

It happened as a result of how each of you died. [ holding a blink again ] You've each been given a second chance.

[ And the smile he gives Goro is sad. ]

For you to earn you memories and your life back, Goro Akechi, you must reach out to those who loved you. You must help enforce their hope.

[ To Sephiroth, his expression is a bit more... stern. ]

You, however, must atone for the crimes you committed in your former life, Sephiroth Valentine. You must start by working to earn the forgiveness of those named Akira Kurusu and Yusuke Kitagawa. After you manage that, I will approach you with the next task.

[ There's a grim smile on his lips now. ]

It will be up to you to learn what it is that you did.

[ After that, he bows his head. ]

And I promise... after you've both managed to complete your tasks, and everything is returned to the way it should be, I will return the both of you to life. You will be able to return to your normal lives... and, in most cases, the people you care about.

Mira death reaction...

[personal profile] light_the_way 2019-09-08 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ugh, he... hates this.

So far, there's been no sign of Mira anywhere...

He's going to be hunting down Sephiroth at some point to gently tug his sleeve. ]


Do you think... she simply died, instead of becoming like us...?

[ He sounds so... disheartened, honestly. ]
argentimperator: (Wounded innocence)

[personal profile] argentimperator 2019-09-08 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't know. That would be unfortunate, I think. Eraqus is already very distressed.

But she may just need more time to become like us. Or she may not even have died at all, everything about this seems very nebulous and complicated.

[Sephiroth sounds a little bit put out about that last part, really. He'd prefer things to be more straightforward.]
argentimperator: (I'm sleeping.)

defining_light: (let go)

Welcome . . . (note her official path somewhere in introspect)

[personal profile] defining_light 2019-09-08 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ In spite of whichever path she took, she'll find herself sitting in a... cavern, leaning against a wall, a warm jacket wrapped around her (color pending).

There isn't much to see, but it's definitely colorful! There's a warmth and brightness all around her, in spite of whatever might be going on within her mind and chest. Something confusing and unfamiliar is there, and it's difficult to even register it as the former. It simply... is?

While she can't recognize who's standing in front of her, each presence brings some kind of peace - as though, thanks to them, some actual answers might finally be given.

It may take some effort for her to remember how to speak, but each of them seems patient enough. ]
livefreely: (pic#13438030)

[personal profile] livefreely 2019-09-08 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She doesn't take the path to the left -- she takes the one to the right. After all, why would ▒▒▒▒▒ deserve the light to begin with? She doesn't want to do what she's told and only simply wants to listen to her own heart.

She sees the person and the warmth and brightness just feels wrong, and just looks at him with a wondering expression in her eyes.

The peace just makes her feelings waver.

She can't recognize them and doesn't say anything but her expression speaks measures more than any words that she could possibly come up with.

Too many questions in her head. ]
argentimperator: (Chilling)

[personal profile] argentimperator 2019-09-09 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[One of them is a tall man with silver hair in a dark gray coat. He gives her an understanding look, leaning against the cavern wall with his arms folded.]

You're a being like us. A Nobody. The person you were before died, and you've lost the part of you that remembers that life.
livefreely: (pic#13400212)

[personal profile] livefreely 2019-09-09 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[ Her eyes watch him rather carefully, as if trying to find meaning behind those words. While it's true that she doesn't remember anything at all, her tone is rather dry. ]

Where's the proof? That 'I' died, and that 'I' am a Nobody, like you say I am?

[ That she's what he says she is? And more importantly, what exactly, is a 'Nobody' to begin with? She doubts that he's talking about them in the same way others -- others? She's never met anyone prior to now -- have, most likely. ]
defining_light: (snrk!!!)

[personal profile] defining_light 2019-09-10 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
The proof can be found in the faces of those you left behind, if you'd prefer.

In this place, when somebody dies... they're broken into three parts - physical, emotional, and spiritual. We won't be able to restore anyone until those pieces are reunited...

[ A pause... He holds up a tablet that shows a diagram - it highlights the body in a yellow line, the head in a blue line, and the heart in red line. ]

You all are the physical parts [ points to yellow line ], your emotions [ points to blue line ] are being held in a safe place, and the spirits [ red line ] are missing.

I can show you to the housing, where there's still enough food and clothes for everyone.

[ He's holding a phone out to her, and there's the picture of a map pulled up. It's very detailed. ]

There's a room there [ pointing to a house ], and you're welcome to take as long as you need to read and watch the videos. But I do encourage you to go out and meet everyone.

[ He'll be handing her the phone with a smile. ]
livefreely: (pic#13400091)

[personal profile] livefreely 2019-09-10 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
"The proof is in the pudding", huh?

[ She still has her doubts, naturally, although she is listening rather carefully to every word he says, although she isn't going to hang onto it like a lifeline -- no, she'll use this information to see if the others she meets has anything contradictory to say and go from there. ]

. . .Alright. And the videos are on this phone?

[ She assumes, anyway. Even without memories, she still has knowledge. ]

[personal profile] defining_light 2019-09-10 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ A nod. ]

They're there for you to watch as many times as you like.
livefreely: (pic#8087806)

[personal profile] livefreely 2019-09-10 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
And are you going to introduce yourself?

[ Who are you, mysterious guy. ]
defining_light: (Default)

[personal profile] defining_light 2019-09-10 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
You may call me Eraqus. Or even simply Era.
livefreely: (pic#13400204)

[personal profile] livefreely 2019-09-10 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
And who are you, exactly?

[ A name doesn't mean much to someone who's nameless - it doesn't tell her enough.

She needs more information. What is this guy, exactly? ]
argentimperator: (And I should care why?)

[personal profile] argentimperator 2019-09-10 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[That gets a snort.]

That recently became a bigger question than you know.
livefreely: (pic#13400166)

[personal profile] livefreely 2019-09-10 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ looks at him

looks at Eraqus

looks back at him

she is not on a horse, but she does crease her brows in slight concern ]


What do you mean?
defining_light: (snrk!!!)

[personal profile] defining_light 2019-09-10 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll know soon enough. If and when that time comes, look for Tiernan and Sora for answers.

[ He smiles and just... SUDDENLY CORRIDORS OUT OF THERE. ]

light_the_way: (ahaha...)

[personal profile] light_the_way 2019-09-13 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ His shoulders lower a bit more and he nods. ]

Maybe...

[ A quiet 'heh' slips out. ]

I hope it's that last one.
