I hate when people say “survivor”.

Because “survivor” means that you made it out

And I don’t think all of me did.

⦕ ZACK ⦖ :

“Huh? Start from the beginning, of course! Did so much happen to you three since you’ve been here last that you really don’t know where to start with that?”

And here Zack had thought Aqua and the other two had just been off training and keeping whatever ‘darkness’ they’d been chasing last time in check. It’d seemed like a big assignment to tackle back then, but it couldn’t have been that chaotic, right? After all, all three of them had been working toward the same goal, hadn’t they?

“But I guess the last thing I remember was that all three of you were talking about having something you needed to take care of.” 

“I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever seen three people swoop in like that and take care of all the trouble that Hades guy was stirring up so quick like you did. It was kinda like all three of you were hanging around just waiting for something like that to happen.”

Though for someone like him just wanting to prove himself, it’d been some pretty bad timing for Zack, too. Ven, Terra, and Aqua had definitely been on another level, but only because he hadn’t been as familiar with the enemy. Still-

“It was kind of impressive!”

Impressive, was it? Color rose to Aqua’s cheeks at that and she found herself a little embarrassed. It wasn’t much different then anything they’d done in training after all. But he was an outsider to their life so maybe, to those who hadn’t trained in the ways of a Keyblade Master, it was impressive. “I think I can say a  lot has happened since we met, so trying to figure out where to start is kind of more difficult then you’d think. But we weren’t just waiting for something to happen, not really.” A soft, husky chuckle that she hoped masked her embarrassment from him. “Though in some ways I guess we were. See, Terra and I... We grew up together, training under the same man to learn the ways of being a Keyblade Master. So we’ve been preparing to protect the worlds from darkness since we were children.” She wouldn’t recommend the life they’d grown up with, though. They hadn’t really been allowed to be children aside from stolen moments they could sneak into. A moment in the snow was a fond memory she’d always held close between herself and Terra. “Ven was brought to us by a friend of our Master, he had no memories, was practically in a coma. I’m not sure what Master Eraqus was thinking when he took Ven in but I’m glad he did.” Not that it did Ven any favors. Or any of them either. “But I guess everything really started when it was time for the Mark of Mastery exam.” And in some ways, it started long before that too; though that wasn’t a story she knew all of and wasn’t hers to tell anyway. So instead she set in on explaining how the Mark of Mastery exam had been skewed, how she had become a Keyblade Master but Terra had not, and how the darkness he’d struggled to keep within him had lashed out. And from there it had kind of snowballed.One left, then another, and Aqua was left to try and bring them home but in the process so much happened a long the way (including meeting him) until Ven had fallen into some sort of weird sleep and she’d locked him away to keep him safe and Terra had been taken over by their master’s former friend and she’d been sealed into the Realm of Darkness. And that was where she’d been until Sora and Riku had freed her from the RoD, where she could free Ven, and with the other Warriors of Light they could save Terra and stop the destruction of the worlds. It was... A lot. To talk about, to explain, to probably listen to! Would he even believe it?

[mizurising]

⦕ ZACK ⦖​ : 

“I hear that,” he’d mumble right back. “But if you wanna let me in on some of the story, then I’m pretty sure I’ve got the time. It’s not like there’s really much else going on around here anyway.”

Honestly, Zack would’ve appreciated the distraction! There was only so much solo training in an empty arena he could do before even he’d started to get bored; and without much else to go out and get involved with right now, hearing something entertaining was about as good as things were going to get.

“But I guess it’s just nice to know that they’re both still doing okay, too.” Zack would add. “I’ve not really seen much of either of them since they left here last, so catching up with them’s been kinda impossible.”

Though, it wasn’t like he’d really been out and about much himself. Whatever traveling Aqua, Ven, and Terra were doing definitely didn’t apply to him, but-

“Do you ever think they’d be up for traveling here again? ‘Cause if they are, then they know they welcome mat’s always out here, right?”

She found herself surprised he wanted to know, though perhaps it shouldn’t have been. They had hit it off well when they’d first met. Friends worried and were curious about one another, weren’t they?  She’d admit that while Ven and Terra were often the forefront of her mind during the dark and long days trapped away, she did occasionally think of him. Of everyone she’d met, really. But... Zack was probably the closest she’d come to making a full friend with, not counting her boys.  Would it hurt to be honest with someone for once? “I don’t know, I suppose I could ask.” She’d had her Gummiphone turned off since she left. “But I can tell you for sure that they are doing as well as they can be considering the circumstances we’ve been through...” A pause, eyes moving to the sky at first before chancing a glance to Zack. “I mean, after all it’s hard to travel when you’re pretty much locked away for about ten or so years...” Trapped in ones mind while someone else took over their body, trapped in sleep and hidden away from the world for safety, trapped in a realm of darkness because you chose to sacrifice yourself for the sake of your best friend and maybe causing the entire chain of events that would follow there after. Gloved hands toyed with the skirt of fabric she often wore as part of her outfit, nervous to talk about it with someone who wasn’t involved. Would he think it too crazy? Would he blame her for what happened? She sure did. Would it also be breaking some of the rules she had drilled into her from a young age concerning the rules of the worlds and not letting the inhabitants know what was going on?  “How much do you know or remember from back then? I know you met all three of us, though I don’t know what happened when Ven and Terra were here...” Was that confusing? Maybe. “Or maybe I should just ask where would you like me to begin with the story?”

“I’m not alone this time.”

[mizurising]

send in " it's okay. i got you... " for your muse to invite my muse in to sleep with them for the night after my muse has a particularly bad nightmare.

alternatively, send in " i'm sorry... do you mind if i sleep in here? " for my muse to react to your muse waking in the middle of the night after a particularly bad nightmare.

[mizurising]

I’m scared of my own thoughts.

They have the ability to tear me apart every night.

⦕ ZACK ⦖ ​:

“Just a little. Training’s all I really can do when assignments are so few and far in between here, so I’ve gotta keep myself motivated somehow.”

And if there was one thing Zack couldn’t stand, it was being pushed off to the side with nothing to do. Things might’ve been quiet around the Coliseum for once, but that didn’t mean that he had to sit down and take it easy either. Heroes didn’t get to be heroes by spending more time taking breaks than they did on the job!

“But hey, that goes double for you, too! The last time we met, this place almost ended up in the middle of some monster’s warzone. You’re sure you’re not here chasing down any more trouble this time?”

Not that Zack would complain if she was! He could’ve used the excitement and rush of a fight to put all of his Coliseum training to the test, but Aqua wouldn’t see him protest if things stayed as they were either. The quiet was nice in its own right.

“Oh! Speaking of chasing though, did you ever meet up with those friends of yours? Ven and Terra, right?”

She had no doubt he found ways to keep himself busy, a man of action like him? Not that she’d say as such to him, a private thought for her own. She wasn’t brave enough to say things like that.  “Well it’s certainly done you some good. You’ve come a long way, I’m proud of you.” And she meant it too. Time had certainly been kind to him.  As he asked about her being there, she couldn’t help a soft chuckle. Things had been quite hectic that time, hadn’t it? It seemed like a far off dream at this point. “I will admit I’m here to... check in? I suppose you could say? Make sure the forces of darkness are at an acceptable level or something like that.” The flimsy excuse she’d given herself for fleeing the Land of Departure.  Really she was running and this was the closest far away spot she could bring herself to go to. If they came looking for her the lie she told herself would be more true.  “I think I’ve seen my far share of trouble,” she murmured just loud enough to be overheard; though it was almost painfully honest. Thankfully there was something else to focus on, though there may have been the tiniest of flinches at the mention of her boys.  “Oh, yes~ Though the story is quite long and complicated.” She was going to ignore how her chest seemed to squeeze a bit. “But we did meet up again. In fact, they’re at home safe and sound.” Hopefully.

⦕ Zack ⦖ ​:

“—hm?” 

The sound of footsteps echoing through the empty coliseum actually wasn’t that hard to miss, even from Zack’s spot perched high up in the stadium’s stone bleachers. The top of the arena might not have been the best place to practice his squats, but it’d definitely made for a good vantage point as he slowed himself to a stop to scan the grounds before.

He’d honestly been expecting another new face. People seemed to come and go from the Coliseum as fast as his training matches here were usually over, but that outfit and that rich blue hair. He knew this face for once, didn’t he?

“Yo! I was wondering when you’d come back!”

His voice seemed to echo through the stadium as Zack went to bounding down the stairs. Leaping off the stone seats to the dusty ground below, he could only hope she wouldn’t brush him off too quick before they had a chance to catch up! She had to have remembered him, too, didn’t she?

“Heya. It’s Aqua, right? It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a familiar face come through here again. So, what brings your back? You here for more hero training?”

The stands were quiet and lacking people, a sight rather strange to the bluenette considering how crowded she could remember it being. Had ten plus years changed so much? Maybe it was for the best, as she’d opted for this section to explore instead of Thebes for it’s lack of people. Which was why hearing someone call out, seemingly to her, was so surprising. Stiffening in immediate response, blue eyes searched out for the owner of the vaguely familiar voice only to find a familiar face. It was older, weren’t they both, but the identifying features where enough to bring a name to mind. And a memory that brought color to her cheeks. Whether it was eagerness to greet an old friend, would he consider them friends?, or just the relief of not being truly alone, Aqua moved to greet him at the end of the stairs he seemed so keen to bound down. “Someone’s been keeping up their training,” she replied rather easily as he landed on the ground from a jump. It seemed so effortless! “I’m glad to see that.” “It’s nice to see you again, Zack.” A soft, almost easy, smile (with perhaps some hidden anxiety) as she turned to him fully. “Sorry I’ve been away so long, life got.... busy.” That certainly was one way to put it. “I just... thought I’d stop by. See what’s changed while I’ve been gone.” Check to make sure that the shadows were being kept at bay. “I will say I didn’t expect to run into you again though. I thought you’d have moved on to bigger things then the Coliseum.”
