It's been a few days since we arrived, hasn't it? That's right, I was wondering how many of us have gotten nice and cozy in our new homes! But it's a reeeal shame for the less adventurous. After all, setting foot outside with all this magic flying around seems a little scary, don't you all think?

[Kano gives a small laugh.] Ah, but staying safe inside is real dull, too! So, so, until my friends pick me up, let's play a small game, okay? The rules are veeeeeery simple. I'll give you my name and two facts about my world. You'll give me yours and we'll both try to figure out who's lying.

[He chose to leave it open to both sides--after all, looking at a broader sample wouldn't hurt much.]

I'll even start off, just to make it easy. My name's Maru! I come from a place that's always summer--and crawling with monsters!

[duplicitoussight]

No way, no waaaaay. If all I did was lie it'd make this game no fun, wouldn't it? See, the best sort of lies are the ones where you mix truths in. That's what makes it fun!

Ah, but I guess my name isn't ex-act-ly true! Maybe I'll fess up, to make it just a little easier! Maru's a white lie, that's what it is. I'll give you a point for that.

[13th_member]

O-oh yeah, that makes sense. [Now he feels awkward suggesting the last bit.]

Okay, so...My turn, right? [Although he's still wondering what to call 'Maru' if it's a lie.]

I'm Roxas. I know of a whale that lives in space, and I've lived in a world that's always snowing.

[duplicitoussight]

[He'll fess up sooner or later.]

... a space whale? [That sounds the most suspicious.] I hope he was decent at swimming in nothing.

[13th_member]

Heh, you'd be surprised. [Oh memories~ Having the gummiship swallowed up was definitely one of the more interesting of Sora's memories.]

So which one do you think is a lie?

[duplicitoussight]

That's real tricky! [And it was, considering how he has to blindly guess at it. He thoughtfully hums from his end.] It's hard to imagine a great big creature like that rocketing off...

That'd be the most suspicious one, wouldn't it? But a world full of snow sounds just as tricky.

[Ah, why not.] I'll take the whale!

[13th_member]

Bzzzt, wrong! [Yay for Kingdom Hearts absurdities!] The whale is totally real. His name is Monstro, and watched him eat a gummi ship. I don't know where he is now, but he's as big as a world, and it seems like he eats just about anything he finds in space.

I actually lived in a world that's always stuck in twilight.

[duplicitoussight]

Eeh, no way, no way! [It's definitely absurd, isn't it...? He scratches his head over it, trying to picture a giant whale rolling around in space--no, that's too ridiculous. He has to stifle a giggle.] But say, if he's that big, isn't he a real hazard?! He must've been quite a fearsome creature!

[13th_member]

...A hazard? I never really thought of it that way! [Seriously...giant whale in space.] It was probably more annoying for my friend than anything, but I know Sora met some big monsters inside Monstro. So...maybe he's less of a hazard compared to the monsters he's eaten.

[duplicitoussight]

[Inside... a space whale...

Kano makes a mental note never to visit this kid's home.]

Ah, hold up though, hold up! A whale that sucks up monsters? In that case... it sounds more like he's a heroic sort of animal.

[13th_member]

[Never step into the KH universe, Kano. Nothing makes sense in the long run.]

I don't think he gives that much thought to what he eats. Could be that the monsters are too stupid to get out of the way. [But hold on-]

Wait, do you like comic books? [Does this world even have comic books?]

[duplicitoussight]

[On the other end, he brightens up considerably. Excitement leaks into his voice.]

Comic books? Of course, of course! I read them aaaall the time. They're the best!

[13th_member]

[Kano isn't the only one.]

Awesome! I was worried that I'd be the only one here. Do you think the Station would have any? We could meet up there and try looking for some.

[So excite to be making frieeends.]

[duplicitoussight]

The Station... ah, it's that strange place nearby, isn't it? [It's so tempting... modern conveniences... if he lets Kido know it'll be okay, won't it?]

Sure thing, sure thing! If they got electronics there, there should be comic books too, right?

[13th_member]

It would be kinda weird if they didn't. [But hmmmm, when should they meet up?]

The worms are still a problem right now, so how about we meet up when they're dealt with? Then we don't have to worry about being attacked on the way there.

[duplicitoussight]

Roxas's got a good point. Ah, to be honest, I didn't think much about them at all.

[What a carefree answer...] Say, say, I'll contact you when the cost is clear then. Is that good?

[13th_member]

Sounds good to me. I'll talk to you later then, Maru?

[He's fine with using that name for now, but he'll definitely ask later.]

[duplicitoussight]

Sure, sure. [He'll be sure to remember this locket.] Take care of yourself, Roxas.
