Arrival time

Who: Lea and YOU
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Tourist
When: After calibrations/a few days after

Broadcast

[After waking up in what is apparently his new room, he spends only enough time to figure out if he's some sort of prisoner before he decides he can just sort of ask people what is up here. Because yeah he's gotten some explanations but it's one thing to show up right when there's dream rooms and then suddenly arriving here. Like nothing happened.

And so there's a red head on the screen.]

Hey, so should I be expecting the waking up in different places every few days thing to happen all the time? Because that's one I can do without. Weird though it might be I like having a consistent place to sleep in.

[He shrugs and smiles.]

Anyway, the name's Lea. Looks like I'm stuck here now and I got assigned to be on the Tourist.

[He fishes some extra confetti out of his hair.]

Nice greeting though. Buuuuut I'm not volunteering for clean up.

Tourist

[And then it's time for him to make himself familiar with his new ship. He's been on ships in the past when visiting other worlds but this one has a different layout. Almost like he's in some kind of maze based on how cramped it feels. Though he appreciates the high ceilings. That's a bonus when you're tall.

But expect him to poke his head in basically every room at least once. You can't get to know a place if you don't at least see what's in a room, you know. And maybe he's a bit nosy too. It's a bad habit of his, one he's never really bothered to break.

Just don't mind that he looks almost suspicious being a guy in a long black trench coat though. He's fine. Really.]

Iskaulit

[Honestly the same happens with Iskaulit. If he sees a door then he pokes his nose in. Though in this case it's more because he's finding that there's so much going on that it's easier to become lost. Sure he could focus the whole attack stuff he remembers going on but honestly? He's going to keep himself out of trouble until he knows what is going on. That world order stuff that he's been learning about. He doesn't know what goes on with this one yet and he's been disarmed.

It's crazy.

But yeah. He's a little lost on such a big ship and so the best way to get unlost is to start memorizing landmarks. Shipmarks in this case. So please don't mind him as he goes poking his nose around here too. He's just curious.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Never met you. Can't say I've been there either. Which sucks because I don't ever want to forget anyone that I've met. Kinda kills the whole memorizing bit if I just forget things.

[He sighs.]

Guess we're starting over. So, I'm Lea. And you are...?

Kitty.

So you changed the name and not the hair, huh? [Really, Kitty, starting over and you want to start there? Still, better than the attempted murder.]

Lea's my actual name. Axel is the one that someone else gave me.

[Hey wait...]

What's wrong with my hair?

Nothing. It's...pointy. That's a way to go.

So, you weren't human before and someone named you?

It looks good.

[SULKING. And touching his hair because he likes it okay.]

I don't even know where to start with this one. I'm already having to figure out what to say to the people who have lived part of it when I get them back.

Well, the good news is you don't owe me your life story. [Just hard not to ask when he dropped some hints.]

If you have any questions about this place I could answer them. [Maybe feeling a little bad about coming out so strong.]

Long story short...I was a Somebody and became a Nobody then died and now I'm a Somebody again.

[He understands that this probably won't make a lick of sense but you know what he already has a hard enough time keeping up as it is.]

Hey, were we friends? I...maybe feel a little bad that I can't remember you. I've already...

[There's sadness in his expression as he looks to the side.]

I've already lost friends before. It sucks that I'd forget one.

...Cool. [Yep. She doesn't know if those were vague terms or confusing terminology or what, but she's going to roll with it. She's heard weirder. She's done weirder. She accepts and affirms you, Lea.]

[And then she shakes her head.] I didn't have friends back then. You were the first person I met when I arrived there. I didn't take it as well as you're taking this. We fought. And I just kept to myself for awhile after that.

[Oh, sure, he had to go and look sad about losing people. Stoooop. Okay, okay, you have nice hair!] Try not to take the memory thing too hard at least over this. It might not have been you. We're dealing with the multiverse here. It could have been another Ax...Lea. There's really no way of knowing.

[He's a crybaby at heart, Kitty. You'll learn this soon enough even if it's not right now.]

Memories are important. That's all.

[There's a sigh and he looks up again.]

But hey. We could be friends now. I'll keep you memorized this time. It's a promise.

[It seems they've both changed a lot from the first time they met.]

They are. They make you who you are. Even the bad ones. [Sometimes especially the bad ones. Even the ones you want to forget sometimes.]

I guess friends are always better than the alternative. [Kitty, sometimes you could just say yes.] You're going to have a lot of names to memorize. We've got a small fleet of people here.

Yeah. [He laughs a bit because he's got so many bad memories in his head. But he doesn't want to forget about any of them either. They mean too much to him in the end.]

That's fine by me. When I get Roxas back I can introduce him to all of you. Then he can start off right in the world with a fleet full of new friends.

[Okay, that's pretty sweet. This is very different then how she remembers things before. It was a long time ago though. What did she always call him? Hothead? It seems relatively room temperature now.]

There was a Roxas there too. But it's not weird if he shows up here and doesn't remember. That's kind of how these places work. Only one person has ever remembered. [And he remembered a little too much as it turned out.]

[His eyes widen and he definitely looks like he might cry before he gets a hold of himself.]

Man, you can't spring things like that on a guy. I haven't been able to see Roxas in awhile.

[Blowing out a breath, he shakes his head.]

I'll see him again though. So, it's time to start making sure he's got a place to settled for him to be at.

Then I won't bring up the others. [Which works out because she didn't really know any of the others and it would probably take her a minute or more to come up with any of their names.] Sorry.

[She feels the impulse to assure him he'll see his friend again, but she doesn't really know that so she holds her tongue.]

Others? Uhhh...my only friend at that time was Roxas. Unless you mean Saix and then that's just a mess of complicated that I don't know where to start on.

[Sure there's the one he and Isa were looking for but he doubts she'd know about her.]

Is he the one with the blue hair? Not that I'd know since I'm not mentioning any of them anymore? [Because you got emotional a second ago.]

Moody and a scar on his face right? Yeah that's him. And it's fine. Nothing's wrong so why avoid talking about people? It makes it easier for people to be forgotten if you stop talking about them.

That's the one. And if you're sure then you also hung out with a girl with short dark hair.

[A girl with short dark hair? Doesn't ring a bell honestly.]

Must be someone that other me knew because I've never met anyone that looks like that before.

Yeah, I guess so. I just figured no one would like that salty ice cream stuff except someone from your world. But there were a lot of people coming in and out. Hard to keep track of things like where they were from too.

Hey. Sea salt ice cream is amazing!

I never tried it, but it's hard to believe.

See? This is the problem. You're only knocking because you haven't tried it. So first chance I can manage to find some I'm making sure you get some.

I can't tell if that's a threat or not.

Woah! Where do you come from where offers of ice cream are threats?
