[ The AUDIO somehow gets clicked on first as various kinds of noises can be heard in the background-- people talking about who knows what, all muffled for some reason or another but there's one voice that cuts through clearly. ]

.. Huh? I thought I gave this back.

[ To some it might sound familiar to another person's voice, but there's obvious confusion in his tone. What's he's referencing to, well.

There's a few more seconds before the VIDEO clicks on this time, showing nothing but a blur of where the device is at the moment. One second there's the street and then the next is what looks like a group of people before it gets shifted to something else again until it finally settles on a blond boy with blue eyes. Obviously someone doesn't know that it's actually a means of communication instead of what he actually thinks the thing is.

He's frowning but it doesn't last long as he looks off in some other direction, determination set on his face. ]

I'll just bring it back later. Right now I gotta get out of here.

[ A pause as he actually thinks about what he just said while looking around. ]

How did I even get here?

[ Because he's pretty darn sure that he'd been intending to go somewhere else. Not this world... whichever world it is. Well, there are people here so it shouldn't hurt to ask, right? ]

[ Another new person and this time he can't help the small frown (that could be mistaken for a pout, who knows) that appears. ]

I'm starting to figure that out.

So what's it called then if it's not a star shard?

[Yep... figures he doesn't remember. Hopefully the others can take it better than he would if it was his derp. But he'll... well, he'll still tease in his own way.]

It's called a starfish communicator. SFC for short. The locals weren't very inventive outside of the shape.

You OK?

It looks like something a friend of mine uses.

[ Though he still doesn't know how that really works but all worlds are different, after all, so it might have something to do with that. ]

I'm fine though. [ a pause ] Would be better if I could leave but from what everyone's saying, that doesn't seem possible.

I thought it was a thalassa charm at first.

[Did he tell anyone this before just now? Nope. There there, Ven. We'll figure it out, since all worlds run on their own time axis, anyway.]

I've left three times... we don't really leave of our own will, though.

Thalassa charm? Mine looks like the star shard Mickey used. Are they always different?

[ Your words, they are unfamiliar to him, Riku. But it's okay, he'll do his best to catch up to speed. And he'll do that by asking all the questions, yep. ]

And if that's the case, then how are we able to leave then, even if we can't do it ourselves?

Yeah... [A chuckle.] They're always a star-shape, but the colors vary. For instance, mine's a pale yellow.

[It's okay, he'll try to get you caught up.]

...I don't know. Unfortunately, it's like we just wake up back home without any memory of this place... or like it was a dream.

Always a star-shape, huh. Does that have anything to do with being underwater?

[ The thought amuses Ventus and if it's true, well, all the more amusement. But still, the thought that it can change shape isn't entirely odd, just that he wonders why it didn't look like something else star related. Like the wayfinder... ]

So whenever you left this place, you never remembered it back home? That's kind of weird. [ and creepy. and scary. ]
