4th light - private video to the Blue Fish crew

[destinyembrace]

[The Blue Fish crew might be surprised to find a private message from Kairi waiting for them on their communicators.

Ever since Allen had told them about his Noah a few months back, Kairi had been debating telling them her own secret. Well, one of them, anyway. There was the issue of Naminé, but she wasn't even sure how to broach that subject. For now, she would have to let that topic lie, and instead focus on her other secret.

Truth be told, she's not sure if this will even be an issue. They're seemingly so far away from the worlds she ever knew about, it's possible that the laws that governed them didn't apply out here. But it wasn't a chance she wanted to take. If Allen could open up to them about his Noah, then she certainly could tell them about this.

It didn't make her any less nervous, though.]

Hey everyone. Um... there's something I should tell you guys. It's nothing bad, per se, but it's... well, it does tend to attract trouble. Hopefully not here! [She laughed nervously, pushing her hair back.] I... think we're far away enough from where I'm from that it shouldn't be an issue, but... just in case..

Okay. [Deep breath.] Where I'm from, there are two forces that sort of govern everything. Light and Darkness. They're opposites, but one cannot exist without the other. Darkness isn't necessarily evil, but it does tend to lend itself to it. It's a very corrupting influence if you're not careful. The Light is generally a force of good, but not usually as powerful as Darkness. You... I think you get the idea.

In most people's hearts, there is both Light and Darkness. How much varies per each person. Those who are corrupt and yearn for power tend to have more Darkness than Light. The Darkness can corrupt a person's heart, turn them to evil, but there's always a little bit of Light in there that won't go out. As long as you're still human, at least. [There were Heartless and Nobodies and whatnot, but she wasn't going to go into that now.] Anyway...

[And here comes the hard part.] There is an exception to that. Seven exceptions, to be exact. There are seven girls who have hearts of pure Light, not one bit of Darkness in them. They're called the Princesses of Heart. If you put all seven of them together and release the power within their hearts, they can open the door to the heart of all worlds. I guess there's supposed to be untold wisdom and power in that heart, but that's just legend. Likely something no one should ever find out. [Though Maleficent had come damn close, averted barely by Sora's interference.]

I'm... one of those seven. [She releases a shaky breath.] I don't think it poses a danger, especially since the others aren't here. But that much Light does tend to attract Darkness. It can also repel it, though. I guess it depends on how it's used? I don't know. I only learned about this a year ago and not in the best way. Given how I don't think the laws about Light and Darkness even apply out here, it may be a non-issue. I wanted you guys to know, though. Just in case. Riku and Axel also know about this, so if something were to come up and I wasn't ... they'd be able to help.

That's everything, I guess. I'd appreciate it if you guys kept this quiet, just to be on the safe side. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer. [She moves to turn off the communicator, but pauses and suddenly frowns.] Oh, and no, I am not royalty. [Probably.] So no "your highness" jokes out of any of you.

[With that said, the feed ends.]

Yes, I... do feed you meat. More than is probably healthy. That's not going to change unless something comes up.

[She raises an eyebrow at him.]

I don't know about spirity mumbo jumbo. I'm not a spirit, it's just... my heart is little different. [Despite the apparent confusion, his heart seems to be in the right place. It usually is and for that, she's grateful.]

...thank you, Sokka. Really. I, that helps a lot.

[alwayscomeback]

You feed me exactly the right amount of meat. In fact, we could stand for more meat.

It's a general term for [He waggles his fingers at the screen. ] weird magic stuff.

We look out for each other, okay? Team Blue Fish forever.

[destinyembrace]

You do realize that meat is bad for you in too much quantity, right? At least for beef and pork. You could do a number on your digestive tract.

[Somehow she gets the feeling that won't stop him, but honestly, she'll probably try and have a salad or vegetarian dinner at least once a week.]

Yeah. We do, don't we? Which is good, since we've got some oddballs on board.

[alwayscomeback]

I don't know who has been spreading these terrible meat-based lies, but none of them are true and I refuse to pay attention to this veggie-loving propaganda.

[He will kick and scream and pout, and then try to hoard meat to eat his room on meat-free days. It would be gross and make the ship smell. Does she want to make the ship smell?]

I like to think of us as lovably eccentric.

[destinyembrace]

It's science. Your intestines need a break from having to break down all the meat every now and then. And a veggie dinner won't kill you. I'm sure the others wouldn't mind, either.

[She nods, completely agreeing.]

That we are.

[alwayscomeback]

I reject that idea of science and replace it with the one where I can eat all the meat I want. And you don't know if won't kill me, it might.

[destinyembrace]

It won't. I promise you it won't. Vegetarians survive just fine without it. Look at Allen!

[alwayscomeback]

Just because they can doesn't mean I want to.

[destinyembrace]

Sokka. [She's got The Tone going.] I think one veggie day a week won't hurt. Might make Allen feel less left out, and it'll be easier for me not to have to make a separate veggie dish for our vegetarians every meal.

[alwayscomeback]

[Oh snap, not THE TONE. He will counter it with THE FACE.]

But...you wouldn't really do that to me, would you?

[destinyembrace]

[Nice try.]

It's not like it wouldn't be meat ever again. We should take it easy on using the meat up so quickly, anyway. What if we go weeks without making planetfall? That meat will need to last.

[alwayscomeback]

...

Nah, we'll always have plenty of meat, I have loads of freezers and stuff.

[Sokka, it won't last forever, rate of consumption is too high.]

[destinyembrace]

With how much we consume it? I'm not so sure.

[But, this might be a battle she can't win. Sokka may need to learn this the hard way.]

If you insist, though. I just hope you're right. I'd hate to have to crack out the substitute.

[alwayscomeback]

[It is absolutely a lesson he'll have to learn the hard way.]

Aww, no, we'll be fine. You'll see!
