[ voice testing; considering ruby city ]

[earthshaking]

Relax. No one's expecting you to be perfect on your first try. Especially this late at night. Speaking of, you should get some rest. Believe me, I'm flattered that you're so interested, but you'll figure things out easier after you've slept.

Mine certainly wasn't perfect on her first try. But sticking at it, she got there. Yours will too.

[earthshaking]

She holds herself to some high standards. [ he can relate. :B ] Thanks, Ven.

So, what can you tell me about this city I'm hearing of? All I've heard is that you and Aqua are both there. [ of course, that'd be reason enough for him to want to go anyway. ]

[glidingheart]

So I've heard.

It's called Ruby City. You come a train but once you're there, there's no way home. Not that I really want to go home any more. [Yes Terra, he knows his future.] I'm not sure Aqua wants to go either.

But it's really a bad place. Just got some bad people in charge. [Even after everything, he still finds the good in things.]

[earthshaking]

Ven... [ Terra here is in a floating meta timeline because wow it is way too late to choose canon points! but boy does it suck to see Ven looking so down. so you'll just be getting the big-brotherly hand of comfort on your shoulder, Ven. ] If things back home have gotten so bad, I'm glad at least you two are in some place that's safer. That's what matters.

What people?

[glidingheart]

[Ven looks up, confused before realising how Aqua must have felt when he arrived. So instead of accusing Terra, he simply answered his question.]

I don't know. I've never met them. But they make everything happen. Good and bad.

[earthshaking]

What do you mean?

[glidingheart]

Well, there was this one time where a wishing well turned up and I wished for the training apparatus so Aqua didn't have to try and build it. But after a few days, it disappeared, the wishing well I mean, and then these monsters started attacking us. They left after a few days too.

So they're nice but with a twist. Reminds me of Spark Lemon Ice Cream.

[earthshaking]

[ ... ven. wat. he has to laugh at that, because a comparison like that is so inappropriate and yet so completely Ven that he can't not.

when he's finished laughing, though, he becomes more sombre. ] You and Aqua were able to handle those monsters alright, weren't you?

[ he knows you're capable, but he worries. )8 ]

[glidingwind]

Yup! [Ven laughs with him because it's like old times, when things were so messed up.]

They were easy!

[asapphireheart]

Terra! You really think you're going to be coming here?

And I'm sure your mun will be okay, the first time is always the hardest. Remember the first time we had to summon our Keyblades on our own?

[earthshaking]

I think so. It's all up in the air, but we have a good feeling about it.

How could I forget? I don't think that tree in the practice yard was ever the same afterwards. [ that's what happens when you get too over enthusiastic, Terra. 8| ]

[asapphireheart]

I'm so glad! It's been a long time since I've seen you, if I don't count the very brief visits you've made to Ruby City over the past couple years.

[Softly giggling.] I don't think so either.

[earthshaking]

Wait. What visits?

[asapphireheart]

You wouldn't remember them. Almost everybody forgets when they leave. But I've seen you three or four times in the city. It's sad but that's how things work there.

This isn't the time to be sad though!

[earthshaking]

How is that possible? [ well, involuntary memory loss doesn't sound worrying or anything. )8

... still. ] Never mind. You're right. Knowing that I'll be coming back this time should be enough.

[asapphireheart]

I really can't wait to see you again. [Have a hug, Terra~!]

I'll introduce you to my roommates and my friends. And I'll give you the grand tour of the city.

[earthshaking]

[ djkbgsd aww, hugs! hugs are good. ]

I can't wait. It'll be good to have a friendly face to show me around a new world for once.

[asapphireheart]

[They're very good!]

Yeah~ By the time I'm done with you, there won't be a single place you won't have seen.

[shiningwaters]

It'll take time, but your mun will get the hang of it.

[earthshaking]

Just like with anything else. We're hoping for sooner rather than later.

[shiningwaters]

Well, I hope you're not giving her too hard a time then.

I'll go with the rude boy for something different at you XD

[boundbynaught]

Unless she's practicing in her dreams, it won't do you a bit of good. Better to take off now while you don't have to depend on someone else.

different is good! :3

[earthshaking]

Perhaps not, but it can't do any harm either.

What made you such a cynic? [ HMM this boy seems familiar :|9 ]
