1st Void

[vainvoid]

[Cambot flicks on to reveal a boy in a strangely organic looking black and red bodysuit. The boy unsettlingly looks very similar to Sora sans the black hair and gold eyes. But when he finally speaks, it's clear by his tone he's anything but Sora]

So, anyone on this crate smart enough to tell me where the hell am I and where's the exit? And don't give me that "There's no way out" crap. There has to be a way out.

[Oh jeez, again? Well, at least this time, immediate violence isn't in the offing whether Ven has noticed him or not.

Roxas doesn't see any reason to tell Vanitas that he's actually been aboard the satellite before. It's obvious he doesn't remember and this isn't the first time they've had someone, had them leave and then had them return and not remember the place.]

If there was a way out, there wouldn't actually be anyone here to answer any questions. Anyway, the place you're stuck in right now is called the Satellite of Love. Don't ask me why. I'm not sure I even want to know. It was built by a couple of scientists for the purpose of finding out if they can drive people insane with bad fiction.

... Before you say anything, no, I'm not Ven.

Anyway, on top of all that, weird things happen every so often, usually changing every week. Currently, we seem to be stuck in some alternate dimension where the guys usually trying to drive us insane are the guinea pigs and most of us are down here in their base. Looks like the thing bringing everyone to this place saw fit to leave you up there with the alternate Mads.

[Yes, he knows that was a long info dump. He's trying to minimize the time he spends playing Twenty Questions.]

[vainvoid]

[Vanitas takes a few moments to listen to all the info.]

Well, you're definitely smarter than Ventus. That's for sure. So, this place is basically Wonderland in space and it also takes away our powers, terrific. And I'm guessing Ventus is here. So, you got a name or can I just call you "Ventus junior?"

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas had gotten along with Vanitas, somewhat, last time he'd been there. He isn't exactly expecting it to happen again.]

Well that's a backhanded compliment. Wonderland at least makes sense when you realize it runs on dream logic. This place... the only thing I can see is it runs on whatever's most inconvenient.

Name's Roxas.

[vainvoid]

Huh. Well I guess I don't have to tell you my name since you know who I am already. So, anyone else from our world here?

[thirteenth_brat]

A few yeah. At least one person besides Ven might want to kick your ass on sight, though.

[Assuming she hadn't been mirrored or especially if she had been mirrored. Roxas hadn't seen Aqua yet since they'd gotten to this dimension, so he wasn't sure.

And ye gods, if Ven was mirrored... It was bad enough having Sora mirrored already...]

[vainvoid]

Aqua or Terra? Yeah, I'm real intimidated.

[thirteenth_brat]

Terra was here, but people just vanish sometimes, probably by the same way we got here in the first place. Aqua's still here, but I don't know yet if she's been affected by this mirror universe thing.

[It occurs to Roxas that there are a few people he should really be hoping haven't been mirrored, but he knows the only thing he can do about it if they have been is get the damned satellite out of this verse as quickly as possible...]

[vainvoid]

I dunno. It'd be nice to see Aqua drop the schoolgirl act for once.

[thirteenth_brat]

... I don't think you'd be saying that if we all had our powers.

[Granted, all Roxas really has to go on for that thought is that Aqua did attain the rank of master and was able to take on Xehanort alone. It's enough to be grateful for the fact that no one has any powers at the moment... except Pinkie's teleporting. Somehow. But Pinkie wasn't mirrored. Roxas wasn't sure he wanted to know what she would be like mirrored.]

[vainvoid]

Touche.

[wavesinherheart]

It's not going to happen.

[vainvoid]

[Oh God, speak of the devil.]

Aqua. How nice of you to join us. But it's kinda rude to interrupt a conversation between adults you know.

[wavesinherheart]

I'm sure Roxas doesn't mind.

[vainvoid]

Well I do. Mind your damn buisness.

[wavesinherheart]

I already am.

[vainvoid]

I'm not doing anything but gathering info, so buzz off.

[wavesinherheart]

For now.

[vainvoid]

You know what they say about assuming Aqua? You just make an ass out of you and... well, just you.

[wavesinherheart]

I'm not assuming anything. I'm being cautious.

[vainvoid]

Don't you think if I wanted to hurt him or anyone else I would've done something already? For all you know I could just be having a pleasant conversation.

[wavesinherheart]

Maybe. That still doesn't mean anything though.

[vainvoid]

Wanna know a secret? I don't give a rat's ass if it means anything. See how it works?

[wavesinherheart]

I wasn't expecting you to.

[vainvoid]

Then why the hell are you talking to me? What's the point?

[wavesinherheart]

So I can know what to expect.
