1st Void

[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.]

[sailorlaughter]

...oh, it's YOU again. [The last time Vanitas was here, he was pretty mean to her. Still...] I'll get you your Welcome Back Cupcake once everything down here is fixed, okie-dokie?

[fatedcircle]

Trust me. There isn't one.

[Riku appears on the screen and his eyes widen ever-so-briefly. And then there's a laugh unlike anyone has heard from him before. (3:25) He flips his long hair back before putting his hand on his hip and cocking it.]

Oh, look who's come slinking back. The Sequel. ...I wonder who pulls off the bad fashion better, you or Sora. [He shrugs.] Welcome to the Satellite of Losers.

But since you won't fall for us saying there's no way out... [Cambot follows Riku into another room. From a shelf he pulls out a big book entitled, SoL Operational Manual and plops down into a chair, putting his feet up on a desk. With one hand he pages through and with another he twirls his hair.] Ah, this is it.

Based on where I think you are, head downstairs one floor. In the hallway there you'll see a bunch of windows before a door, and a panel. On the panel screen, you should see several buttons. You'll need to push them in order to get a trip down here. Lower right, top middle, then lower right again. Enter "10," and confirm. Step into the door when it opens. We'll see you down here soon.

Well. That's if you don't freeze to the floor when the airlock opens, and if you don't burn up coming in. [Malevolent chuckle.]

[hasbeenforged]

Oh. You.

[Someone is clearly unimpressed. Someone is also not acting like their usual self. Nor does he look quite... sane. Very much like yourself, Vanitas.]
