First Flower

I'm not sure if this'll work, but...I'll just speak out to anyone here that's listening. If you can hear me, please respond!

And if you can respond, please tell me who you are and what's the last thing you remember?

This is Kairi, and the last thing I remember was the seven of us were all fighting against Xehanort. We...weren't doing as well as we'd hoped, and the worlds were falling apart...then I remember a whole lot of darkness, and then I was here.

[The second question is easier to answer, and so it's the one they answer first, as the music offers up that they're the guys who keep the beat going and make the music happen. There is unfortunately, no actual names to go with it, but it's more than she might have had before.

The portal, on the other hand, is harder to explain and there's the musical equivalent of a considering pause before they begin to speak up. It's still hard to explain, but the music speaks of a bright, bright light high above the Grid. A light that's only there when a path is open between the User world and the Grid.]

[gimmiemyflower]

[It's pretty weird getting the idea of a name, but not an actual name. She does get a sense that their identities work around music, though.]

[She remembers Sora briefly mentioning something about a Grid...one of the worlds he visited. She doesn't quite understand it all, though. Maybe these people are from that world?]

You're from...a world called the Grid? Did you ever meet Sora?

[keepingthebeat]

[Again, there's a pause before they answer. This time though, it's filled by what feels like a brief "I don't think so, do you?" back and forth. Eventually, however, the music comes back with an answer that they've never met a "Sora" but that there were some rumors of new Users on the Grid, so maybe this Sora was one of them?]

[gimmiemyflower]

[Kairi doesn't have much of a clue of what music arguing with itself would sound like, but this is probably the closest it would get. The answer is a little disappointing, though.]

Oh...I thought maybe everyone who was here would have met him somehow. But I know he talked a little bit about going to that world, so maybe that made a difference.

[keepingthebeat]

[There's a shrug - which doesn't really transfer over whatever is letting them communicate like this - and than a more 'verbal' answer, roughly along the lines of it might be possible that Sora had an effect but they wouldn't be able to say for sure.

After all, they haven't met him, which makes figuring out whether or not he has made a difference more than a little difficult.]

[gimmiemyflower]

[She doesn't really get the shrug part, but she does get the rest of the feelings sent through music.]

Okay...maybe there isn't as much a pattern to this as I was thinking.

Do you know anyone else here?

[keepingthebeat]

[They shake their heads at that, more out of habit than anything, and while that too is unlikely to transfer over, the music itself has it covered, offering up that they haven't met anyone they know just yet.

To be fair, they don't really know a whole lot of people, but either way, they haven't even heard of anyone talking about the Grid.]

[gimmiemyflower]

[Again, she doesn't see the head shake, but does feel the rest of it.]

Oh. Well, I'm sure you'll find friends of yours real soon!

[And hey, they have probably made some new ones, too. She's curious to see what they look like, at least as hearts, after already having heard them this way.]

[keepingthebeat]

[By the sound of the music, they aren't really certain that they'll find a whole lot of their friends, but there's also very distinctly a sense that they aren't very worried about that. They've got some people here already and that's more than enough for them.]

[gimmiemyflower]

[Well, at least they're not sounding that worried. The less people that are worried about being here, the better, especially with that empathic deal that seemed to be affecting them all.]

If you can think of any ways to help us get out of here, then let me know! [She doesn't know if they could offer much, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.]

[keepingthebeat]

[There's another unheard nod, and then the rough equivalent of "you got it" comes through the music. They aren't really certain they will have any ideas, but if they do manage to think of something they will most certainly share what they have. After all,they probably aren't the only ones who wouldn't mind getting back to other things.]
