reverienet | video (un: Ventus); backdated 5/28

[Yo, Reverie Terminal. You're treated to a video of nothing but ceiling and muffled noise for a moment, until Aqua twitches her wrist and lo and behold, it's a girl on-screen!

There's more silence as she seems...caught? On what to say. Or who to say it to. She turns to mumble something to someone off-screen, before sucking in a breath and going for it.]

Hey. I hope everyone can see this?

My name is Aqua, and I'm looking for a boy about [she gestures below her chin, though it won't be helpful at all from the network's vantage point] this tall named Ven, and a young man about my age with brown hair named Terra. And if you've seen any strange monsters around here, I'd like to know about that too.

[Aqua sweeps a hand through her bangs after, thinking again.]

...I've only just arrived here, but this place is confusing. More than any place I've been to before.

[Like, mostly because of the waking up after being knocked unconscious by nothing aspect? ~~It's not as if Vanitas is around anymore to cheap-shot her~~.

HOLD ON, SPEAKING OF BEING UNCONSCIOUS!!!]

Oh, actually, um. [WELL.] Is it normal for our old clothes to be replaced by suits like this sometimes? There was no one around when I woke up...I feel like this needs to be addressed. Thank you.

hi aqua!
i hope it's not too weird to say, but i sort of love your name?
it's very pretty. very flowy. you know?

anyway. i don't know if i'd say it's normal?
but it definitely happened for everyone else.
if someone brought us here then it's sort of creepy, but
as far as i can tell people just sort of appear sometimes?
which is. maybe less bad? maybe worse.

anyway welcome to the station!!

[Oh no???? This is one of the nicest responses she's yet received...it actually flusters her a little? Yeah.

Also thank goodness this person didn't just decide that being robbed of their clothes was fine and inevitable. It's definitely creepy!]

Oh! No one's ever complimented my name before...I don't know what to say. Not that it's weird! I'm flattered, thank you.

And I'm sorry this is happening to you all.

But somehow, I'm happy to be here...everyone is so kind. Have you been handling everything alright, aphrodite? I've been hearing all kinds of stories.

oh.
i mean, it's a little weird to say now that i think about it.
but thank you? i'm glad that it's nice to hear, at least.

and i've actually been doing pretty great?
like. i wish the food didn't suck, and there were actual clothes i could change into more often?
but the others are here with me. so that's really all i could ask for.

also aphrodite's just my username, haha!
i'm venus. it's nice to meet you :)

[Venus can't see it, but Aqua flails her hands out of habit before typing.]

No, no, it's not weird at all! I've just never gotten complimented on it before. If anything, people comment on my hair more.

[Then again....people usually see her way before they get her name? Anyway:]

By others, do you mean your friends? Did you all come together, if so? You're very lucky. I find I can handle anything as long as my friends are with me.

...What's wrong with the food, anyway?

And right. You'll have to forgive me, I've never used something like this before. Why do people use fake names on here, actually? I wasn't told why, just that we can.

oh man. do you have super cool hair too?
mine's just sort of blonde and wavy. i mean, i like it anyway?
it's super fluffy.
but not like, COOL cool.

sort of!
actually, they're my girlfriends?
i'm still not really used to saying that. haha. but also it's great, so i'm going to??
aaaaand

uhhh. hm.
i guess i hadn't thought about it?
back home, usually names like... your name. are already taken.
like, two different people can't use the same name on a site?
so like, if someone else gets aqua, it's taken. you can't just have your name show as "aqua."

but i don't really think there's anyone else named venus around here??
jupiter literally just took "jupiter" so like. you know

[Oh, no. A young teen with fluffy blond hair with a name dangerously close to "Ventus".

There's no way Venus isn't getting adopted.]

I don't think so...

My hair is more of a mess than anything else. But yours sounds very "cool" to me.

Oh, that's so sweet though! Say it as much as you like, Venus. They're important to you, right?

[That's seriously so precious? Though, she hadn't considered one could have multiple significant others! That's interesting, but maybe Venus's heart is just that big.]

And I think I understand. It's strange, I've never met another person with my name, but it does explain things. So, thank you.

Why did you pick the name aphrodite, then?

[ a young teen with fluffy blond hair with a name that sounds like "ventus" who has a dark side and let the devil inside of her?? THIS COULDN'T BE KH RELATED AT ALL, NO WAY ]

yeah. they're the most important people in the world to me.
without them, i wouldn't be here?
like, on the space station, sure. but also, just...
you know. haha.

oh! it's sort of a mythology joke?
my name's venus, which is the name of a planet, but also the name of one of the greek gods?
wait. roman. sorry.
anyway aphrodite is the greek version of venus!
so it's kind of like. my name, but for a different culture? haha.

it's not actually all that funny and i've had to explain it like ten times now.
whoops.
