1st Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

[A blur of red and black and a startled yell are the first things the Dreamberry picks up. The Dreamberry clatters as it hits the ground, the view spinning crazily, followed by a sharp thud and a low groan from somewhere off to the side.]

Ow...

[There's a soft scuffling as the speaker picks himself up off the ground, then...]

Man, talk about a rough landing! Is everyone all- Huh? Guys?

[Bewildered silence fills the air for a moment. Oh, look. Red boots in the Dreamberry's view.]

Where is everyone?

[The view shakes again, jostled by a careless foot.]

Huh? What's this?

[A red-gloved hand picks the Dreamberry up, then the camera comes into focus on a teenage boy's face. The worry in his warm brown eyes fades briefly as confusion takes its place. He studies the device for a moment, then frowns. With one finger he reaches out to poke something on the Dreamberry.]

I wonder what this-

[Click! The feed abruptly cuts off.]

[Now there's a face he didn't expect so see.]

Lloyd?

[redcladidealist]

Zelos?

Hey, that's cool! I can see your face on this thing!

[demonspear.livejournal.com]

BUD! ♥ It's about time someone I knew came up! The people here are drags, man.

[he sighs. Typical Lloyd.] That's your dreamberry and that's not even half of what it can do.

[redcladidealist]

Huh? What do you mean? Isn't everyone else with you?

[A beat. Zelos, he's giving you a funny look.] Uh... Zelos? I don't think this thing is food.

[demonspear.livejournal.com]

Nope. You're in Somarium now, bud.

[.....OH LLOYD ♥ Give him a minute. He's trying not to put a mark on his face by a complete and utter facepalm.] No, that's the name. You're not supposed to eat it. [Though the picture of him eating it is making him lol] It records your dreams.

[discardedpiece.livejournal.com]

You're in Somarium. It's a dream world.

[redcladidealist]

[Blink.]

But I'm not asleep.

[discardedpiece.livejournal.com]

It's just called a dream world. Your dreams are broadcast to the other residents through that device you're holding: the Dreamberry.

[redcladidealist]

[Erk. People seeing his dreams.]

So... It's a dream world just because people can see your dreams?

[discardedpiece.livejournal.com]

[Definitely not fun.]

Lots of crazy things happen here, too.

[13thkey.livejournal.com]

It's called a Dreamberry.

[redcladidealist]

That's what Zelos said. What a weird name. I mean, it doesn't look like a piece of fruit.

Hi, I'm Lloyd. What's you're name?

[13thkey.livejournal.com]

Roxas.

This is Somarium, a dream world.

[redcladidealist]

Nice to meet you. Er, sort of. [Lloyd pokes at the screen with a grin. Point made.]

What do you mean, a dream world? You mean ideal?

[13thkey.livejournal.com]

[Bit of a small smile at that. These things are pretty weird at first after all.]

You too.

Not really. It's more of a dream world in that almost everyone got here by sleeping or being unconscious.

*Hi. Have someone who looks bored enough to have nothing better to do than to call people with intensely important and helpful information. For example:*

It's called a dreamberry. You use it like a cellphone.

[redcladidealist]

[Oh so very helpful except for one small problem.]

What's a cellphone?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

Uh... *Oh. Well, not the first time he's seen this.*

It's this thing you use to talk to people who're far away.

[redcladidealist]

Oh, I get it! I think I've seen something like that before. Only this is a lot smaller than that, um, hollow machine. It's magitechnology, right?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

Uh--it might be?

I mean--normally I'd say no, but normal technology from my world doesn't do the whole 'dreams' deal.

[popstar]

[It's been a while since she's seen him around but there's no way she could forget that face. Even if he didn't remember her, she wouldn't have minded too much. It was just nice seeing a familiar face with everything that's happening right now.]

Welcome back, Lloyd-kun.

[redcladidealist]

[There's a couple of things wrong with that statement from Lloyd's point of view, and it earns the girl a very puzzled expression.]

Welcome... back? Do I know you?

[popstar]

[She simply chuckles in return.]

I should've figured you wouldn't remember. I'm Rise.

[redcladidealist]

Remember what? How'd you know my name?

[popstar]

[A sigh escapes he list as she brings a finger up to tap on her cheek.]

You used to be here before. But that was pretty long ago. We were sorta friends back then.
