A.

Naminé had experienced her fair share of worlds before, be it through personal experience or memories. But this... while reminiscent of one she had seen before, was not one she any idea of. Lips pursed into a frown, fingers drumming against each other in front of her, the tiny and pale girl absolutely drowning in the jumpsuit given to her debates what it is she had to do next.

One hand reaches out in front of her, and a dark portal appears in front of her, which she walks into. Suddenly, another appears from the opposite end of the hallway, which Naminé appears back out of, immediately startled by what she saw. "W-what...?"

She tries several more times to the same end, and her eyebrows knit in worry. Why couldn't she go back to anywhere she knew...? Shaking her head, Naminé looks around her, visibly startling as she sees someone standing near her, watching.

"Hello?" She calls out carefully, hesitantly, lifting a hand in greeting before it falls back in front of her to worry her other hand. "What is this place called...?"

B.

Naminé stands out on the Observation Deck, one hand pressed against the glass as she stares thoughtfully down at the planet below. If she wanted answers... perhaps that was the place to go? But without any way to protect herself, that would be a risky thing to do. There was no Riku or Axel to watch over her this time around, and there's only so much you can do running back and forth through Corridors of Darkness. Assuming she even could, given she couldn't go anywhere else...

Sighing, she curls a lock of hair around one finger, thinking. Perhaps... perhaps someone else on this place could come with her? Though, it'd be hard when she didn't even know anyone here...

She turns around with a start, too in her own head to have heard someone approaching from behind. Naminé offers a soft smile, though she looks rather nervous.

"Has anyone ever been down there before...?"


((will match format!!))

A2, of course, cuts an intimidating figure as is, considering that she's only 5'6 and that's with her heels. She looks... distinctly unfriendly, when she's faced, and she answers the question in her normal gruff way of speaking.

"Yeah, someone's gone down there. A few people have, apparently, though they've all come back here now. Why? Got plans to go down to "Susan"?" It's clear that she doesn't really care about this, one way or another. Stay in space or go down to the planet? Doesn't matter really, does it?

[chainofmemories]

Naminé is, unfortunately, even shorter. A2 is plenty tall as far as she's concerned, and her intimidating aura doesn't help in the least. She swallows but tries to stand tall, channeling the strength in her that she was inspired to have from Kairi. She also couldn't just assume A2 was one way or another without getting to know her, and despite her gruffness, she was attempting to be helpful...

"Maybe... I'm not sure yet. What's it like...?" Susan was a weird name for a planet, though.

"Apparently, it's just like Earth, if you have that where you're from. Wouldn't know myself. I never went down." She shrugs, helpfully. She's also quickly assuming that this human is newer than the rest, given her questions.

[chainofmemories]

Earth... well, she basically knew what that was, there were worlds out there that were on an Earth, so she could imagine what kind of place it ought to be. That was very helpful! It meant she could probably survive well enough in theory, outside of the Heartless she assumed were down there as well. Actually, for that matter, why hadn't she seen any here yet...

"Do you know who did, by any chance?" Her expression is thoughtful as she asks, the cogs in her mind churning with ideas.

shits on my own characters itt

"Some blue chick who calls herself Pierre on the network." A2 waves her hand dismissively. "She's the one who took a few people down with her, but I didn't keep much eye on it, or figured out who she took with her. I'd be careful about asking her anything, honestly. She doesn't seem too reliable."

Here, A2 crosses her arms, looking the girl in front of her up and down, sizing her up, in essence. She looks...

Exactly like the kind of person who'd get taken advantage of.

lmao

[chainofmemories]

Naminé would like to think she was no longer the type to get taken advantage of, not after Marluxia and the rest of the Organization in Castle Oblivion, but... A2 was probably exactly right. After all, there was DiZ just recently, though that had been a necessary evil.

"Perhaps I should go ask nonetheless." She glances down at the communicator around her wrist, missing the moment where A2 sized her up. "It wouldn't hurt, I suppose."

Oh! Where are her manners.

"...Ah, I'm Naminé, by the way. Thank you for answering my questions."

[a2brutus]

"You can call me A2. I'm an android. And there's better people to ask around here, honestly. I wouldn't waste your breath on that one. You'd probably get better results just asking in general on the network here."

It's... probably obvious, A2's distaste for Lapis! Mostly because she's an alien, and aliens are Awful by default, to androids. Just utterly repugnant!
