[optimistickey]

Location: In a surprise room on the media deck
Time of Day: Evening
Warnings: Possible angst and more.


As far as strange happenings on the Satellite went, this one didn't seem too bad, although it seemed like there was a lot more to it than first met the eye. Like there was a lot more magic around here...just not the kind that he knew well enough.

However, there was also the issue of meeting with everyone from their world and discussing all that had gone on...or would go on, for some of the people here. Sora didn't really want to talk about it too much, since from his perspective, it was behind him and he wanted to focus on getting off the Satellite and then working on fixing everything. But, leaving others in the dark wouldn't be good, either. They just needed a place to talk about it.

He'd looked over the media deck, which had the tables and chairs, but something about the place had changed to make it even creepier...it was like some of the books in the library were now alive. So he'd started back towards the stairs, musing over how they needed some place to talk…

When he suddenly noticed another door, close to the stairs. Sora stopped and regarded it…had that door always been there? He really couldn't remember seeing it before. He opened the door, and found a cosy little room set up with a few tables and some comfortable-looking chairs. It didn't seem nearly as foreboding as the rest of the library. Sora smiled to himself...well, he didn't know where this had come from, but at least it served their purposes for now!

Sora found his Cambot and let everyone know to meet him there over the network...no privacy settings, but oh well, he didn't want to take the time to find everyone in person. Once the message was out, he sent his Cambot off, headed inside and found a good chair to sink into.

[There may be multiple threads just for meeting, talking, eavesdroppers or party-crashers...don't worry too much about turn order, so that things can move along. Otherwise, have fun!]

Comments

Really, it would have taken far too much time to find everyone, considering how scattered they got during the course of the day and how big the satellite was. Once Xion saw the message about the meeting place, she hurried to find Namine so they could go together. The media deck could be difficult to navigate, and she knew it better than Namine.

She hoped that everyone would be there. It wasn't that she hadn't understood Riku's reasons for wanting a small group at first before telling some of the others, she thought it was a bad idea to start making divisions like that in their group from home. Not to mention that the idea of withholding information didn't sit well with her--it certainly hadn't ended well the one time she'd tried it.

That was thought for later, though. First they had to actually get to the meeting place. Finding the room had been easier than thought, though, and it looked like they were some of the first to get there. "Hi, Sora."

Aeleus went down as soon as he heard the message; he could trust Ienzo to come on his own. It was odd, at this point, to have to adjust to the idea that Ienzo was a young adult again, but he felt he was managing well enough. Hopefully, Riku and Sora would be able to clarify a few things for everyone else, though that was contingent upon their choosing to do so.

Aeleus nodded to Namine and Xion when he entered the room. "Hello, ladies."

[wefallinsilence]

Much like the others, Ienzo didn't waste much time in heading to the appropriate place once he heard the message. True, he hadn't precisely expected to find what looked to be some manner of secret room, but it served the need well enough and that was as much as could be expected. Anything else would come later and for now he was content enough to simply observe the people who had already begun to gather.

Some habits really were hard to break.

Isa hesitated at the door to the meeting room. Aeleus's advice was still fresh in his mind, he was right about the fact that, if he didn't go, knowing that people wanted to withhold information from his would continue to bother him.

And at this point, for Isa, it wasn't really about the information anymore. They could be talking about Pinkie Pie's cupcakes, for all he cared, he just refused to be knowingly left out of something.

At the very least, Aeleus would back him up on his decision.

He shook away the thoughts of hesitation and entered the room. He could always leave early if he decides he doesn't want to be a part of this.

INFODUMP- I mean, MEETING START

[halfdarkened]

It seemed everyone who would arrive now had, and as such Riku took a pen and a sheet of paper. “If everyone’s here, let’s start this.” He gestured with an elbow on the table. He wasn't one to let fear stop him in the past, and this would be no different. Riku took in a deep breath and sat up tall. He looked serious and undaunted despite the uncertainty hanging over his head, and he assumed a commanding air of determination. “You all deserve an explanation for the way I’ve been acting.”

“In the future, a man named Xehanort is trying to create a super-weapon called the ‘χ-blade.’” To clarify, Riku emphasized the word, “chi,” and wrote on the paper “χ-blade” and held it up for all to see. “A long time ago, the original χ-blade was shattered into 20 pieces, 13 of darkness and 7 of light. Xehanort believed that a clash between that light and darkness could reforge the weapon. To do this, he created Organization XIII to be those pieces of darkness.” He looked to Ienzo and Aeleus. “To ensure their darkness, every one would become a vessel for... Honestly, I don’t know if it was for a copy of his heart or a piece of it. At the end of the day the result’s the same. He would possess them. Obviously, not everyone in the original Organization became a vessel. But...”

His attention turned straight to the blue-haired youth in the room, and suddenly he didn’t seem to be sitting up so straight. “Isa. I tried to keep others from coming so our crew mates wouldn't wonder why I was specifically singling you out. I’ve been possessed by Xehanort’s Heartless, and I honestly don’t know how much knowledge we shared. He at the very least knew how to push my buttons. But I fought back. And with the help of my friends I gained the strength to defeat him once and for all. In my time, you're a cold individual and your friendship with Lea has crumbled. You worked closely with Xemnas, Xehanort’s Nobody, and now you’re loyal to Xehanort himself.”

“Isa, if you remember only one thing when you go back, hopefully it’ll be to fight. If you remember more than that, keep this information from Xehanort. His plans are complex and well-calculated, and it’s hard to know how it’ll affect things. Not just to the point I came from, but past it.” There was no sense of hatred, nor was there distrust in the person Isa was now. But there was a clear look of concern along with the typical intensity in Riku’s expression. In addition, he looked sorry, though whether it was in the sense of pity or apology, it was hard to tell.

MINAKO'S ATTEMPTS TO LISTEN IN

[verygassy]

So, a meeting!

Granted, she'd gotten a lot of information already, but Minako could never be too cautious. The enemy in question had the power to travel through time and space, after all. What was to prevent him from coming to her dimension, to her world and try and attack it? It wouldn't be the first time someone used such a skill to covertly infiltrate Earth and destroy it!

...If only she were that skillful. Because she was wandering around trying to figure out where the heck this meeting was being held. It didn't help that there were tons of extra doors that suddenly popped up throughout the ship. So there she was, on the theatrical deck, slowly walking towards a random door that popped up...
