002 | ❝Destiny's Union...❞

Who: Aqua and everyone
Where: Varies; Capricorn District and Nyx's Nightclub being two of them.
Summary: Just your average nights as a worker... with a little training and a KH cast meeting on the side
Warnings: Spells that make things go boom in the last option. You have been warned.

Pisces Apartments 7-08, locked to KH cast
It wasn't long after seeing that notice on the network that Aqua took down the details and messaged the others before heading home early. Something about it was bothering her, though she did appreciate how this Suou was forthcoming with information. That would make it easier to come up with what to do or at least get on the same page with the others.

She began waiting for the others just outside her apartment, calming herself and going over the information in her mind. ...At least there's some hot chocolate ready.

Monday - Friday Nights; Capricorn District
It's almost funny how wandering in a dark area with possible danger everywhere was something she was far too used to at this point. At least it would be, but it's something consistent and she loved helping to protect others and maintain peace. As much as could be afforded.

Bother her?

Saturday-Sunday Nights; Nyx's Nightclub, Taurus District
If anyone had told her six years ago that she would be loving her job as a makeup artist at a club run by demons, she would have likely stared at them as though they spouted a second head. Though now it wasn't too far from the truth as she stood there in her... uniform. Oddly enough it isn't much less than what she normally wears, and the people she works with are... Okay no, she can't completely even think that.

Hat hiding her eyes somewhat, she still smiles faintly as she sets up her station. What? Did you think she was a dancer? Sorry, fanboys~ Only a makeup artist unless someone sees her Lightbloom shotlock.

Afternoons, Capricorn or otherwise
Well, she was going to be entering the tournament when signups became available. Might as well practice while she could before having to work, right? Aqua was being discreet about it though, making sure no one was around when she began practicing not just with Eudora or Tatsu Blaze, but her strongest spells if it came down to it.

Which is why she was in Capricorn; the small forest and vast plain were perfect for practicing without hurting anyone who could accidentally stumble across her. Not to mention negate a lot of property damage. She was not here to cause the destruction of city property, after all. Her job patrolling here at night at least gave her some familiarity with the area, too.

Of course, it didn't stop her from practicing elsewhere with the more minor skills. ...Bother? Be brave enough to sit from a safe distance to gawk/enjoy popcorn/whathaveyou?

...She was beginning to miss her home castle, either way.

Capricorn - Afternoon. Because they kind of need to talk.

Strangely enough, Terra wasn't here for any kind of training. Although he was tempted to sign up for the Grand Prix once he was able to, he would prefer being able to actually summon his Persona first. Instead, he was here for Aqua.

Following their bond had been easy enough. As he drew closer to her location, he could see the tell-tale signs of her practicing magic and using her Persona. Not wanting to be an unintentional target, he decides to approach carefully, waiting until a break in the casting before announcing his presence. "Aqua?"

He... sounds kind of hesitant, like he's not sure he even wants to bring up whatever it is that's on his mind.

this is going to so hard for him to get out.

It was a good thing that Eudora had been out when he approached, because that made it somewhat easier to ask about this. "It's... hard to explain."

He pauses, clearly hesitating. Then an urging from within--that it was all right, and that asking her wouldn't make her think any less of him--made him steel his resolve. He takes a steadying breath, and decides to just say it outright. "I think I need you to scan me."

He won't say why. He can't. How do you explain that you want to be sure that you aren't going nuts?

"... yeah." He knows, it sounds absolutely crazy. And he's not sure what to make of this.

He sighs when she asks that. It... makes sense. "Anything out of the ordinary. Something that doesn't belong--"

He 'feels' a shot of something... very apologetic, and continues. "... or something extra. I've been--"

Eudora is called and the scan begins, and he can only tense up at the surprise. There... was something? "I've... ... been hearing things. Feeling emotions that aren't mine. It's been going on since that week of hell in Promenade."

It just wasn't ever really obvious until recently. And he's getting worried.

Well, that's a double dose of shock on his part. "You've... read about something like this?" So he wasn't going crazy? But that still didn't explain why the voice was Master's. And anything he could contemplate was... insane. It had to be.

He nods, and tries to calm himself down somewhat, hoping that it might help her find whatever she is looking for.

He feels... something again, that isn't him, when Aqua uses CommLink. Surprise. Wonder, perhaps, before... something very hard to put a name to. It almost felt sad, but there was something else tinting it to make it different enough to be distinct.

'Yes, I can. Hello, Aqua.' The response comes easily, without the odd interference that made the voice only speak up occasionally. And it was a voice Terra knew all too well.

Now he could go into a minor form of shock.

'I had not expected this particular turn of events. This is... not a fate I would have chosen for myself willingly.' The words ring through Terra's thoughts and Heart, heavy with guilt, sadness, and remorse. It's enough to make him almost feel off-balance. The thought comes without Terra getting a chance to filter it.

'How--? You- you fell, I tried to catch you, and you disappeared--'

'Try to calm yourself, Terra.' The firm command has him freeze, and attempt to do just that. It takes several seconds, and he's still subtly shaking from the shock.

At least with the shock, Master's emotions were easier to pick out. Much easier.

With his own shock slowly starting to ebb way to grief and remorse, it's hard for Terra to ignore the pang of the same feelings from where his father figure's Heart was. And when Eraqus begins speaking again, he stays silent, listening.

'It is not something I am proud of. I only hope you can forgive me for my foolishness.' It's amazing, how tired he sounds with that one sentence.

'Ventus had returned on his own. In my relief to see that he was unharmed, I missed the conflict that was occurring within him.

He lashed out when I said that he was not ready to go to the outside worlds on his own yet, claiming I was keeping him imprisoned. And then ... he revealed what I was least expecting to hear. That Xehanort still intended to forge the χ-blade, and that he intended to use Ventus to do it.'
This was the part of the conversation that Terra had missed, and the revelation... shocks him, but not nearly as much as it could have. But something stood out.

'You knew what Xehanort was up to?'

The guilt and disappointment is almost tangible. 'I tried and failed to stop him once. After he brought Ventus, I had hoped that he had given up the pursuit of it on his own. Learning that he still intended to cast the worlds into chaos... I made the decision to do the unthinkable.'

Suddenly... it made sense. And that made what had happened hurt all the more.
