[ There's a small blonde girl looking a tad confused. She isn't supposed to be here--or anywhere, for that matter. For a while she'd been whole--or part of a whole person. She gently taps the screen, then hesitates before speaking slowly, cautiously. ]
...Hello? I'm not sure why or how I'm here, but...
[ She pauses, more worried now--not for herself, but for someone else. ]
I hope she's okay. [ It's whispered, soft and barely audible. ]
...Hello? I'm not sure why or how I'm here, but...
[ She pauses, more worried now--not for herself, but for someone else. ]
I hope she's okay. [ It's whispered, soft and barely audible. ]

[Video]
[Video]
I...think I'll be okay. Thank you for your concern, Miss...?
[Video]
[Video]
[ Hesitation--she's not sure if anyone's ever told her it was nice to meet her. ]
[Video]
He switches on his vidphone to send a reply.]
You'll find no one's really sure how or why we're here, Naminé. [He's smiling, his voice amused.] But as far as I've found, the information in the pamphlet is accurate—it's a safe place.
[Video]
[ Naminé doesn't even try to hide her shocked expression. She was sure she'd never see him again--at least, as herself. She had some idea of what Kairi saw, but it had always been so...fuzzy, for lack of a better word. ]
I can tell...but its safety doesn't make it any less confusing. How long have you been here?
[ Still, she's happy to see him. She smiles, even though her smile is a bit shaky. ]
It's good to see you again.
[Video]
Not much longer than you, honestly. Long enough to familiarise myself with the main city and a few of the sub-cities, though. Sora and Kairi are here as well. [He grins.] Between us all I'm sure we can answer any questions you'll have.
[Naminé's appearance does pose some very interesting possibilities. She isn't a typical Nobody, and neither was... Roxas. And the flow of time in Genessia as it relates to timelines seems very flexible, with people apparently able to arrive from the past or future or any point inbetween. So maybe...]
[Video]
Mm...sub-cities, the ones you need the necklace for, right? [ She pauses for a moment. Sora. She still feels guilty for what she did to him, even though she's apologized and he's forgiven her. ] I haven't heard from Sora...but I've heard from Kairi. I'm glad she's okay, considering...my being here.
[ She gives him a little smile and tilts her head. Maybe she's teasing him, just a little when she says-- ]
How are you? Not getting into any trouble, are you?
[Video]
Yeah, there's four sub-cities, and in each of those, there's different archways that are— portals? To small areas of other worlds, I think. I'm still figuring those out. [At the mention of Sora and Kairi, he shrugs expressively.] I haven't seen much of Sora myself, but I know he's around here somewhere.
[It's maybe a little worrying, but he'll keep that to himself.
The last part makes him chuckle.] You say that like I go looking for it! I'll have you know trouble comes to me. [Who's he kidding? Of course Naminé would know better, considering the Castle Oblivion nonsense. And hopefully she isn't too sore about the Marluxia bluff... he'd anticipated Marluxia pulling something like that and hadn't actually intended to hurt Naminé. Well. That's an awkward subject best left to some future conversation.] Things here have been quiet so far. I can't really complain.
This might sound a little strange... but... what's the last thing you remember? Before waking up here.
[Video]
Mm. If I find out anything, I'l let you know right away. [ She pauses, and that fragile smile drops just a little bit. ] I hope he's alright...
Ah-- [ She laughs a bit. He's like a trouble magnet, sure, but he's not fooling her. By now, she knows him fairly well. She's even forgiven him for Castle Oblivion--otherwise, she wouldn't have worried about him. And anyway, she knows he's not really that bad of a guy. She knows Sora's memories, but she knows Roxas's too. ] Things are quiet with you around? That's a little surprising. [ It's the kind of teasing that Naminé thinks happens between friends, and...well, she would like to be friends with him, after all. ]
...The last thing I remember? [ She goes quiet for a moment, thinking. She was happy to help Kairi become whole again, but...she had also been sad. She'd never gotten a chance to be her own person, not really. ] I remember joining Kairi. And I saw a few things after that, but they were so...fuzzy.
What about you?
video;
The how and why are question none of us know really. It's kind of complicated.
[Video]
[ That Kairi's here, too, and safe is a major relief. She's still startled and surprised, but her biggest worry is calmed now. She looks much more relieved, and she smiles slightly. ]
Yes...I've noticed that. Ah...You're alright, aren't you? Since we...I'm not...I'm here.
[ Existing. Her main purpose was to rejoin Kairi, to make her whole. Naminé's still not sure what not being with her means, but if Kairi weren't alright...she would never forgive herself. ]
[Video]
I'm fine, at least here it's peaceful, which is a good thing. [She knew she didn't feel any different, she still felt like she was suppose to. Maybe something happened and Namine can finally just be whole as herself. It made her smile simply thinking like that.]
You don't need to worry, I think maybe here you can just be your own person and that's a good thing.
[Video]
Yes...that is good. And...I'm so glad you're alright.
[ Kairi's last remark takes Naminé by surprise. She's stunned, and it shows on her face: wide eyes, her mouth open a little bit. And if Kairi were there, talking to Naminé face-to-face and not through a screen, she'd maybe see tears welling up. She laughs a little breathlessly and nods. ]
...Thank you, Kairi. I...I really hope I can.
[Video]
Ah, are you by the Bay? I could always come and get you if you want to stay with someone.
[Video]
I...I would like that very much. Thank you, Kairi.
[Video]
I'm sure you'll get use to this place eventually, after all it isn't bad. It's peaceful at least, which I said before, but still that's how peaceful it is. [She pauses for a moment.]
There's also a lot to do to.

Who is 'she?'
[ Sorry, Naminé... his senses are a bit more tuned than most other humans. ]
[Text]
Oh...someone important to me. Her name is Kairi. I've found her, at least, and she seems to be alright.

[ Okay, maybe not everyone, especially not Mavis or any of the other Fairy Tail members who know him here, except for Natsu or Erza. But still, Zeref didn't earn his reputation by accident. ]
My name is Zeref.
no subject
[ She's started trying out the optimism thing--but she really does mean it. ]
It's nice to meet you, Zeref.
no subject
Yes... it is nice to meet you as well.

[Video]
Mm...the pamphlet said that, I remember. I'm just a little...disoriented. I'm Naminé.
[Video]
Aah aren't we all...? Arriving in a new place, not knowing how to even function...! It can be pretty confusing to most!
But I can say with utmost confidence, you'll find friends here and be on your feet in no time!
[Video]
[ She nods and gives him a little smile. ]
I do feel a little better since I've found... [ She pauses, trying to decide what to call them. ] ...people I know. Thank you for the encouragement--I really appreciate it. [ She's being completely sincere. She's not used to so many people showing even a little bit of concern. ]
[Video]
[he's seen it all before, he knows what it's like to feel so alone and feel like there's just no hope. he's not the same person he used to be at all, but he's trying to keep up that cheery attitude for all.]
I'm glad you have people you know here, too! If you didn't, it might make this experience kinda scary. Nope nope, wouldn't want that, it would be too useless...!
[Video]
[ She could use a little cheering up, really. But she's happy, considering--there are so many friendly people here, it's a little overwhelming. ]
I was a little scared at first...but I'm feeling much better.
I'm Naminé, by the way.
[Video]
...Hmm.. I don't like it when girls frown like that you know! I bet you're really cute when you smile.
[Video]
[ --oh. She's visibly taken aback, and blushing just a little bit. And also not sure how to take compliments--no one's ever said anything like that before. ]
Y-you think so? I'll...try to smile more often, then.
[Video]
[just ignore him he's a little over the top.]
[Video]
I-I see. Th-thank you.
[ really she has no idea how to take compliments, and she's more embarrassed than anything. Part of her wonders if he's just saying that to be nice. ]
[Video]
[he nods to himself!!] Now then.... who were you talking about before? Who do you hope was okay...?
[Video]
[ At least he's being himself, even if it's more overwhelming than she's used to. At least there's a lot of...colorful...people here. ]
Oh...Her name is Kairi. She's alright, at least from what I can tell.
[Video]
[because he's nice like that.]
