paopuprincess | 001 ☆ Voice/Action for New Bark

[The whole world felt like a blur. A moment ago, she was fleeing for her life. Her two best friends had vanished in front of her eyes. Monsters were descending upon her. She was worried that she would be joining them in the darkness soon.

Suddenly, she's in a house. Some woman she's never met is claiming to be her mother. She hands her some weird device she's never seen before, as well as a backpack and a strange-looking ball, before shoving her outside.

It's raining.

She's barely had time to process all of this, but her body instinctively runs under a nearby tree for shelter. Would she be safe here, or is this a trap? This is a world unlike anything she's seen before. Her hand reaches for the device she was just given. Apparently it worked like some kind of radio. She contemplates, for a moment, if she should use it. She might be able to find her friends if she used it, but she might just help the heartless find her. She clicks it on.]

Donald? Goofy?

...

Sora?! Riku?! [They're not here, Kairi. You know that. Sora vanished. Riku was possessed by the darkness. Still, some part of her needed to call out their names.]

Is anybody out there? I need to find my friends!

Really? I thought I was the only one.

[Well that's something to think about, isn't it.]

Are there more people who woke up here?

A lot of us. Over a hundred, I think. And no one's managed to figure out what's doing it or how.

It's pretty annoying, really.

Woah, really?

[She's starting to think this is bigger than being kidnapped by heartless.]

But who steals over a hundred people?

That's what I'm telling you. No one knows. No one even has an idea, at least not one that makes any sense.

Weirdest of all, sometimes they send us back, too. No warning, no nothing, we just vanish and go back home. Exactly when we left. So whatever is doing it can control time, too.

So they just get bored with us? Like toys?

[Whoever is doing this is seriously a jerk.]

That's an interesting analogy... yes, I suppose exactly like that.

[She's always assigned a bit more importance to them being here, though.]

But there's a way out, right? There's gotta be... somewhere.

Not... that we've found. When people go back it's not by their choice.

[She won't bother adding that some people, like her, don't want to go back.]

I don't like the sound of that...

[Still, this place sure beats Hollow Bastion.]

How often do people go home?

That depends on the person. Some people stay only a few months. Some people stay years.

I guess some people they just really like.

[Whether or not she wants to be one of those people, she isn't entirely sure yet.]

Heh. Maybe.

[She kind of wishes they liked the same people she likes, if that's the case.]

It's hard to say what makes them like people, though.

Maybe they have strong hearts.

[Or weak hearts. Prime for controlling. All depends on how evil this place actually is.]

Strong hearts?

[She repeats it incredulously, but considers the idea for a moment before shaking her head.]

I doubt it. Some of the people I knew would still be here if that was it.

...Like Xion?

[Considering the whole reason you're talking to her is because she reminds you of her. Or should she not bring her back up?]

[Sheesh Kairi, ow. That was her heart you just punched.]

... Yes. Like her.

[Maybe... she shouldn't have said that.]

There must be some reason they get sent home, right? It can't just be random.

Well, you'd think so, but we haven't been able to figure anything out. It's all just guessing.

Well, I'm sure somebody'll figure it out sooner or later.

[No sense in worrying about it now.]

That's what we're hoping. Figure it out, then do something about it. Maybe you'll even be able to help one day, who knows.

[She shrugs.]

But there's not much more I can say about that. What else would you like to talk about?

Mm. Tell me about yourself. You said you've been here a long time, right?

A bit over a year, yes. The place has been good to me, on the whole... I keep losing people I know, though. It's a bit irritating.

[Severe. Understatement.]

I know how that feels.

[To have someone you care about disappear out of your hands.]

You mean Sora and Riku, right?

[It's not exactly a hard guess.]

Yeah.

[She has a hard time saying more than that.]
