You got someone you think you know well

[pullsheavendown]

Who: Terra (earthy), Roxas (pullsheavendown) and surprise guest star Sora (happylocksmith)
What: HE'S 👏 NOT 👏 VENTUS 👏 YOU 👏 NUMPTY
When: Some time after everyone returns from Nadril
Where: Olympia
Warning(s): Kingdom Hearts lore is still stupid

[Axel is probably going to be annoyed when he hears later that he was left out of this, and Roxas will proooobably apologize for it...probably. Maybe. Maybe not. It's not that he doesn't appreciate his friend's concern, or that he thinks he wouldn't be just as worried if their positions were the other way around; he does, on both counts. But after what happened when Axel tried explaining things to Terra (or so he'd heard), Roxas is pretty sure it's better if his best friend isn't here for this.

Besides, he wants to handle it himself. In Nadril, he spotted Terra several times and either slipped away or opened a portal and then ran. He's tired of running, and he's tired of hiding behind other people. If this is going to continue to be a problem, he'll solve it.

On the plus side, he's got a couple of things going for him that he didn't during that first surprise meeting.

Around midday, he makes a circuit of Olympia's market district before wandering a little outside it, where there's some space. And then he calls down a pillar of light; briefly, just for a few seconds, high enough that anyone who happens to be paying attention will see it above the buildings. And they might come looking for what made it. If not, well, he supposes he'll be the one who goes looking.]

[Terra takes a train to Olympia first thing that morning. Ven said to find him around midday, but he figures getting a head start on his search can't hurt. He walks around for a couple of hours, noting the damage the city suffered and all the work being done to put things back into some kind of order. Every once in a while, he's tempted to try and lend a hand. He's not sure any of the locals would accept his help, though, dressed as he is in Wyver black and red. No one's threatened to chase him out of Olympia yet, but it's possible they're only just tolerating his presence. In that case, it's probably better he keep a low profile.

He sees no sign of Ven during his several hours of wandering, though. Terra decides at that point that his best bet is likely his Glider. He'll fly over the city, one district at a time. It shouldn't be too hard to pick Ven out from above; Terra'd know that spiky head of hair anywhere, after all.



... Except it turns out Ven's gotten very good at hiding. It's just about midday when Terra slows his Glider to a stop to wipe the sweat off his brow and scan the streets below again. Maybe Ven's in a building somewhere? Or wearing his hood up? Or maybe Terra's just missed him, checked the right area at the wrong time?

Terra's considering his options when a pillar of light bursts up into the sky off to his left. He stares off in that direction for a moment, surprised and bewildered and suddenly uncomfortable. For a second, he's back in the Graveyard, turning around at Xehanort's behest to see that awful beam of energy streaming up from where Aqua and Ven must have been fighting... Terra blinks out of the memory and, with a little shake of his head, turns his Glider to investigate the source of the light.


And it's Ven! Well, somebody's been practicing his light spells.]

Hey... [Terra lowers his Glider to the ground, steps off, and dismisses the weapon/vehicle behind him.] There you are.

[Just playing it cool. He totally wasn't looking around for hours, nope, no way. He's also totally not excited to see his friend, nope, no sir.]
