The World That Never Was

[Elario Luminus]

Where the Organization reside, and where Nobodies are created.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Keri was woken by a strange feeling of being watched, above her was a starless sky of deep blue and the floor beneath her was a bright white.
She sat up and looked around, remembering the strange voice, deep and reassuring, that had told her she was only half a person... a Nobody they had called her.
She reached up and pressed a hand to her chest. How could she possibly have no heart? She'd be dead if she didn't... but maybe they meant in the emotional and symbolic sense... like when someone says, "oh have a heart."
She couldn't possibly have been lacking one in that sense either, she felt emotion... didn't she. Then suddenly she gasped, her whole life the only emotion she'd been able to feel was sadness, the voice said, that she could feel those emotions that they remembered... did she only remember sadness?

Pushing herself to her feet Keri noticed her clothes were different, not the scabby school uniform she'd been wearing, but now she wore a small shirt, with a gold arm band. Her shorts were so short you could hardly call them shorts anymore, and down one hip a long fancy skirt fell. A belt with a pouch on it hung around her hip and she wore blue boots that came to her knees.
"This gets weirder and weirder..." She mumbled beginning to walk in no particular direction.
After a short walk she was startled by a voice calling out to her.
"You there!" It called, and a black cloaked man walked over, she couldn't see his face, for it was concealed by the hood.
"I had a feeling you'd seek us out... you wish to be whole, don't you?" He asked, his voice not the same deep calming one, but still quite comforting all the same.
Keri nodded without really thinking.
"You wish to feel needed, wanted... don't you?"
Again another nod.
There was a laugh from beneath the hood. "Then join our organisation, and help us win the pending battles..." Keri looked eager in her normal bland way and nodded again and again to all his questions.
Finally he stopped her, and raised a hand. "So Keri.... you will need a new name... one more... befitting..." Letter formed from smoke and began to swirl around before her eyes. They finally came to rest as Keir and then a large X formed between the four letters, making it Kexir.
"So... Kexir, come with me, we will find any others who come here.." Kexir did as she was told, following him and failing to notice the smoke billowing around her, and forming into a black robe similar to the speakers.
The earth would shudder... and she would be whole once more.

(Gah, I'm skippin' a little bit too. At the highschool he had the weird dream, yada yada. Kay?)

After everything happened, the keyblade showing up and the weird dream with the strange voices in his head, he had entered a door...into a seemingly empty place. He glanced around, idly looking down at himself. Odd, his clothes were different. No more uniform? Instead, he had jean shorts that went down to his knees - scrunched up at the knee joint so that they would stay out of his way. Sneakers adhorned his feet, and a wife beater resided along his torso - black. On his right arm, there was an odd sort of shoulder armor; it was flexible and easily movable...but it was strong. He could sense that. Also, the armor went around and under his other arm - protecting his chest. "Huh. Well, this is certainly odd, too. Not like I'm protesting, though." He added absently, before glancing around the room some more. Finally, with another shrug, Felix decided to start walking. No harm in that, right?

[Tifa Lockhart]

It was not long until Kexir and her strange companion spotted a young man walking aimlessly. Kexir had found a strange new confidence with her new name, but she was still quiet and kept mostly to herself in hopes of keeping her problems as her problems, but the large man seemed to have a different motive.
"You there!" He called out to them, Kexir found herself shrinking back to remain unseen.

[Cloud Strife]

Felix looked up almost insantly upon hearing the other's words. Blinking, he canted his head to the side and quirked an eyebrow. "Who the hell are you?" He called, before growing wary and somehow making his blade appear? oO How did that happen?! Either way, he took notice of the woman behind the other guy...making sure to watch both of them warily.

[Tifa Lockhart]

The hooded figure laughed at the boys startled reaction as his keyblade appeared.
"Who i am is not important. Who are YOU? Or more accurately, who WERE you?"
Kexir watched their company silently through her hollow, sad eyes. She still didn't quite understand what was going on.

[Cloud Strife]

Felix observed the other with mild distaste. He wasn't at all thrilled with his current situation. Just where the HELL was he? He glowered at the cloaked figure and lowered his blade. "Okay, lemme ask you again, Senor. Who. The. Hell. Are. You?" He inquired pointedly, scowling darkly at him. Hm. Why wasn't the woman speaking? Too scared or somethin'? Whatever. "As for who I am? Not your business as far as I'm concerned." He stated evenly, not at all fazed by the guy's definitely shady disposition.

[Tifa Lockhart]

The shady figure gave a small chuckle and shrugged.
"Suits yourself then Sir. Have fun becoming whole on your own." He turned as if to walk away.
"Come Kexir." He said, his tone not gentle anymore.
Kexir turned slowly, eyes lingering on the stranger for a moment before she turned to keep up with him.

Kiyo took a look around her timidly. where she was, how she got here or why she was here? the answer escaped her. infact, it probably took off at a million miles down the road never to come back. with an exasperated sigh, she decided it wouldnt hurt to take a look around, would it? she began walking down the dark alleyways, coming to an odd white castle-esque building. she stood before it, shifting her weight between her feet, uncertain weather to enter or not. it looked uninhabited, like the rest of this strange world. but if she did go in there and if there were people in there... would they be just as sinister as this world appeared to be? if so, what would they do to her? she closed her eyes. too many questions. they just seemed to cascade from the nothingness in her mind. trying to regain her calm, she walked over to a wall and leaned against it. when she had regained her composure, she would make a decision. no use making a hasty one if it just lead to... well, worse things. she zipped up her jacket and pulled the hood over her head. there was a strange chill about this place that added to the strange atmosphere around her.

[Cloud Strife]

(Azura, I hate to sound picky...and like...rude or something...but could you try to capitalize the letters at the beginning of your sentences? >.>; It's bothering me..no offense or anything. That sort of thing just grates at me...x-x;; Don't be mad. xD)

Felix watched as the two began to leave...Wait, what did the guy mean when he said 'good luck on trying to find your way to becoming whole'? O.o; Odd. His curiosity was piqued now, though he still had that faint urge to stop them...and so he did. "Wait! Senor...Senorita..." He began, lowering his weapon even further so that he wasn't nearly as eh...intimidating. "What the heck do you mean? Becoming whole? I'm whole enough!" And with that he lifted his hand to rest over his heart....or where it should be....and froze. No beat? His eyes widened, and his hand roamed along his chest, looking for a beat. Nothing. "What's going on here?! Where am I?! Who are you people!? Kexir? That's the chika's name right?! If I tell you who I am, will you tell me what the hell's going on?!" He clearly was beginning to panic. One minute he was alive n' kicking and the next minute he realized that his heart wasn't beating...

[Tifa Lockhart]

The hooded figure looked down at Kexir and nodded, so she turned and met Felix's eyes with her own empty, sad ones.
"I'm Kexir.... but i don't know his name..." Her voice was timid and quiet. "The way he tells it... we are the shells of a person who has been taken by darkness...." She added, her eyes leaving his gaze.
"But he says he knows a way to make us people again... and that it has something to do with these..." She held out her hand and her own keyblade shimmered and appeared in her hand, its regal style glittering.

[azura]

((oh, sorry D: I didnt know it bothered you! i'll try to capitalise next time. Gomen, gomen))

[Cloud Strife]

(No problem! I'm glad you didn't take offense to it. I'm just really picky about that. But thanks so much for appeasing me. xDD <3 <3)

Felix listened to the girl's words, taking everything in and quirking a brow. So, he was a shell? Odd to think about, that. "So, like, I'mma shell of my former self? And these things are what might help us get our real bodies or whatever back?" He lifted the keyblade to accentuate his inquiry - hoping that he explained that correctly. "That is totally bizarre, Chika...Oh! And, the name's Felix, comprende?"

[Tifa Lockhart]

Kexir nodded to show that she did 'comprende' as he'd asked. Her keyblade vanished and she cast her eyes back down and away from him.
"This is all very confusing..." She mumbled, her voice barely audible.

[Dante Sparda]

"You can say that again," came an unfamiliar voice as Victor approached the little gathering. He'd been listening in for a while now. He knew that the girl in the coat was called Kexir, and the Spanish guy, Felix. But the name of the taller, cloaked man remained unknown for now. Still, he looked like he knew what was happening around here. Victor's eyes swept around the group. The kids must be Keybearers, he thought. Just like me. He chose to looked at the cloaked man. "Would someone please explain to me what the hell is going on?"
