*she was getting excited for everybody, but you lost her on one point*

So it's possible to restore everyone? But why am I included? I'm standing right here.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

[Ah, right. THIS discussion.]

... I hope ya are, Aqua. I really do.

But this place can be kinda tricky sometimes. Some times... it puts people right back where they came from, when it lets 'em go. Other times, they let 'em go free to wherever they want to go.

I'm hopin' that everyone here gets to choose where they go when their time in camp ends, but... I gotta be prepared for the worst case scenario, too.

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

*Doesn't... even know how to think about that. I mean, where did everybody come from in the first place? Was this why there were people around that shouldn't be?*

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Apart from that there's two things more I gotta mention.

The first is that we know where Ventus's heart is. It's... been inside Sora, all along.

The second is... well, it's worse news. Master Yen Sid has told me that when a Heartless is destroyed before a Nobody, the two halves will rejoin... and reform.

Xehanort, the original Keyblade Master, has returned... and we don't think he's alone, either.

Riku thinks that Ven's heart--

*thaaat second part takes importance*

Where is he? *ready to kick old-guy ass*

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... We haven't seen him yet. In fact, I was just about to go gather Sora and Riku when, well... I ended up in here. I don't know where he is, or how he's planning to get at Kingdom Hearts just yet... but I'm not about to sit down and roll my thumbs, waitin' for him to pop back up.

[OOC: Gotta go to bed now! be back tommorow.]

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

Neither am I. If he thinks he can harm my friends and everybody he will have to defeat me first. I swear it.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

… Don’t go flyin’ off the handle yet, Aqua. After all, ya got the time to relax and get yer strength back. We’re gonna need you and Terra in tip-top shape when we get out of here: someone’s gotta train Sora, Riku and Kairi into new masters, yanno!

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

...that's true. We have more Keyblad wielders than we ever had in a really long time. Where are they now in their training?

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Well... they've only been at it for two years, but they've gotten real strong in just that short time. They can't summon their own armor or use Keyshaping, but Sora's real skilled with elemental magic, and Riku's...

Well, I think I've already told ya, right? He can balance both Light and Darkness. Weave it into his spells and has even figured out Bladecharge. Sora's the more diverse one, but I have to say I think Riku's stronger!

[Who can gush endlessly about his precious semi-pupils? Mickey can.]

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

*aww... Mickey's socute*

What about Kairi, Roxas and Xion? Shouldn't we consider them as well?

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Gosh, yer right about that. Roxas and Xion are... well, they're special cases, so they're gonna need some time to train themselves before their power can stand on their own. They're sorta part of Sora, yanno- they have to learn how to make their power their own first, I think. And Kairi... well, she can use a Keyblade, but she's just startin' out in how to use it. She's probably the one who needs the most trainin' before she can get out on the frontlines.

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

Well, you're in luck. Terra and I were talking about possibly training the other Keyblade wielders. And I already talked with Kairi and I know she's interested too.

What a coincidence that we had the same idea.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, great mind thinks alike, I guess! Ah, but jokes aside… ya might wanna ask Roxas and Xion if they want to be trained, first. I think that when all this is over and done with… they plan to move on to other worlds. I think both of them are pretty fed up with this whole conflict…

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

*okay srs face time again*

...are you really sure I'm the best person to ask Roxas? He's... rather defensive about himself...

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... You already met him, huh? I... guess ya thought he was Ven, didn't ya?

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

That's right. *nods*

Is it true? Is Ven's heart really a part of Roxas'?

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Gosh... [He catches his breath. THIS is probably going to take a while.]

Look, I don't really know that for sure. Roxas is... well, he's Roxas. I don't think there's anythin' quite like him in the history of the World. What I do know is that Ventus's heart went to sleep within Sora, and that's probably how Roxas ended up lookin' like Ven instead of Sora. That must mean they have some sort of connection, but what that is... sorry. Couldn't tell ya.

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

*shakes her head*

No, it's fine. For now it's better for me to understand that he's a different person. Because he is.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... He is, Aqua. That I can definitely tell ya.

Now... I've been tryin' to talk to him about these things before, so... if ya want to, I'll handle it instead.

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

I think that's best for now.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I'll do so...

... Aqua. Yanno, when all this is over and done with... well. If the Land of Departure turned into Castle Oblivion, and ya can't turn it back... yer always welcome to stay in Disney Town. All three of ya.

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Mickey. I appreciate it.

But I now know that we're going to be able to return it back to the Land of Departure. Talking with everybody here has helped me to realize that.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... Alright. If that's what'cha think, then that's what we'll do. All of us together, if we have to.

[amasteredoath.livejournal.com]

Right.
