[The feed comes on from strange angle. It seems to be coming from a good height from the ground, and is focused on Naminé poring over putting finishing touches to the food she's working on. She's got ingredients all over the counter of the inn kitchen, with a giant cookbook in the middle of it all.

After making chocolate for Valentine's day, she's gotten an interest in cooking, because there is an art to it. After several failed attempts, she's finishing up a bento she made herself. There are two other containers next to it, all finished. Probably for her traveling party. And three of these are already set to the side. She looks pretty pleased with herself as she finishes the last one, and turns away to clean up.

Cue this feed zooming in and... stealing one of those sandwiches.

And then a Vaporeon comes up and grabs like several of those fish shaped cookies.

And then a Pidgeot lumbers over quietly and takes half of those cut berries.

When Naminé turns back, she looks at where her finished creation was. Then looks up at the feed, spotting one of the perpetrators with a pout.]

Salty!

Togetiiiic!

[Silly Nobodies, you make your friends happy by being, and that's worth celebrating. Someday, Ven'll get that notion to stick]

I'm...not too sure. I know she's a soldier and she trains a lot, but she doesn't talk much about things she likes.

[Convince Roxas first. He's more stubborn.]

How about something to help her train?

[Ven's been working on it, slowly but surely. He's pretty sure he can get away with celebrating, just...not a big party]

Hey, that'd be great!

...But what kinda stuff do they have in this world for people?

[Stop applying logic on her. Hm.]

Well, there has to be something. I'm not really sure myself, I've never fought before.

[There are trainers dressed up like Karate Masters so there's gotta be something for human fighting here.]

[Sorry, Nammers]

Wow, really? D'you use magic then?

[Easily distracted, yes he is]

[A pause. Salty stops her floaty-marching to hover again near her trainer. No sad thoughts, trainer!]

... kind of.

...Bad topic? It's okay, we can talk about something else.

Mm, no, it's okay.

[She figures she should stop hiding things. Better people knew about it from her than from the Organization.]

Has Aqua told you anything?

About you..? No, I don't think she has.

I figured. She's too nice to tell others.

[And she sighs.]

It's sort of magic, I suppose. I could manipulate memories.

Aqua wouldn't unless somebody was in danger otherwise, just how she is.

But what does somebody do with a power like that?

Imagine if you have the power to manipulate someone's memories. Make them forget who they are, the people close to them, and install new and fake memories instead.

[She pauses at that, and Sea reaches up to lick her cheek encouragingly.]

... that's what the people who found me forced me to do to Sora.

To Sora? But he seems to remember things just fine here.

That's because it hasn't happneed yet. I rearranged his memories a few months after he saved Kairi.

...

[Aw Nammers, he's as worried about you as Sora right about now]

But who would make you do something like that?

I'm not sure if you met them yet, but there' are people already here in Johto who are wearing black coats. They're called the Organization. Xion and Roxas used to be a part of them though.

[Just making sure her party members' names are clear.]

...Those guys...they seem pretty different, I've met a few of them. The first guy I talked to actually seemed pretty nice, but that lady with the antenna hair [he even gesticulates to mimic the look of Larxene's hairdo] doesn't seem like him at all.

[Which reminds him]

I think she said she was gonna talk to you, because she kept insisting I was Roxas and I told her I wasn't.

... first guy?

[If you're referring to Marluxia, Ven, you're just as bad as Terra in the character judging department.

At the mention of Laxene, watch Naminé pale up at that.]

W-what did she say?

He had short blond hair, and hair on his face too.

[Thankfully he's not as bad as Terra; Luxord's actually a reasonably personable fellow]

She said something about me being a replica, and to ask you about it. When I told her I was probably from her past, she said she'd ask you about that.

Did he had an accent?

[.....

... fml forever. Why am I the plothole shovel.]

Actually, yeah, the way he talks sounds different from what I'm used to.

[Sorry Nammers ;;]
