[It's been a...strange few weeks. Even with being used to other worlds by the time of his arrival, he's never stayed for this long. By now, Terra has a fair idea of how things work around here, and if not an idea, then he can guess at least. Or at least he thinks he's got this. In front of him, there's a chess set, set up in a rather peculiar way compared to most. For instance, there are a few raised platforms, and the pieces, while obviously still intended for their original uses, look different.

A little faerie chirps on the other side of the chess board, trying to lift one of the pieces near her and obviously failing if the way her body gets pulled down with the piece is any indication.]

Hey, hey. Careful or you'll hurt yourself.

[He reaches to help her and the faerie puffs her cheeks and pouts at him, wings beating as fast as a hummingbird's as she lowers the piece and crosses her arms, making him chuckle and shake his head before returning his attention to the network.]

I didn't think they were actually able to do it. Bring us things from home I mean.

[Terra holds a piece up, then places it down.]

I'm set up in the library if anyone is up for a game. Strong minds are equally as important as strong bodies.

[He then inclines his head.]

Unless you're looking for getting your butt kicked in the more physical sense, I'll be down in the training grounds later.

[And the feed ends.]

[She was here. Was. Terra's jaw tightens, not wanting to say anything that might upset Steve, but he thinks of the Snow White and Zack that he's met here, and he shakes his head.]

She could have been an entirely different version of the one I know. I've already met someone like that here.

[It was a little weird. Trust him.]

Not so much cycles and order and rebirth, but definitely something along those lines. The story I've heard about the shards inside us is similar to one we have back home of the Light.

Yeah, that happens.

[Steve thinks about the people who know him, or at least a version of him, someone who's him but not him.

Definitely weird, but he's making some friends because of it.]

Can you tell me more about it? The light.

[He nods at the request. It's not exactly something that he hasn't not spoken of since he came here.]

Once upon a time, every world was connected. They were all one, and everyone lived under the Light, which was the heart of all worlds. People desired the power of the Light, and they clashed, wielding Keyblades. Their greed and jealousy introduced Darkness into the world, and in the aftermath of the Keyblade War, the χ-blade was shattered into pieces, the worlds split, and Darkness covered everything.

[Steve's quiet for a moment after he finishes, because it does sound pretty similar - every world being connected, people warring with one another, Look to the Light.]

Did it ever get finished? Does the darkness still cover everything?

A...man I once respected tried to recreate the χ-blade so he could begin the Keyblade War all over again. [There's a slight wince when he remembers how easy it was for Xehanort to manipulate him.] I was fighting him when I first arrived, and someone I chose to be my successor recently told me that they were still fighting him ten years down the line.

[He shakes his head.]

I don't know where I am during that time, but I'm told that they're working to get us all together to finish it and stop the Darkness once and for all.

[Terra's still a little unsure how he feels about that. There's Darkness in him too; what will happen to that when the Darkness is defeated?]
