[This is a post. Within this post exist Prima, Liege, and A3. They exist here for the purposes of wrapping up previous conversations/plots or starting new ones. They will exist here for about a week, and all conversations that occur therin will be considered to have taken place PRIOR to the Pillar Event.

Alpha Trion can be found anywhere around his temple, or alternatively can sometimes be caught exploring the wastelands outside of the Haven. He's just as likely to get hold of you randomly one day while testing out the link device, however.

Prima can be found only in his tower. He's much more difficult to get hold of, but will surface for urgent matters and can be contacted through the Link...even if he'll be slow to reply.

Liege Maximo can be found in his many labs. He's been in a mood lately, but most would call it a 'good' mood, which means he's looking for people to interact with. Or on. If he's been in contact with you before he'll seek you out either in person or through an encrypted channel on your link device. Otherwise you will likely have to run into him.

To have a conversation with any of them, just specify WHO and WHERE or LINK in the title of your reply. Any action will be actionspam~]

No.

[He seems to think for a moment, and then amends that statement.]
Not visibly. That is what worries me.

[Thanks, Prima, that totally clears things up. He might be welcoming your distraction a little bit right now, though...not that it's easy to tell.]

Please, show it to me.

[He frowns a little- not at Prima, but at the thought that something might be wrong and even the Firstforged isn't certain.]

Oh- [Blinking, he shifts so that he can pull up his sleeve a little to better show Prima the glyph, still primarily white save for the magenta outline and the additional white glow.]

It is like hearing a sound that you cannot find the source of. Not only is there no proof that the sound was made, but there is no proof that you heard it to begin with.

[It has him deeply concerned. However, he does take time to focus back to reality, looking at the glyph presented.]

...

I see.

This does not surprise me, Ventus. You have been working hard here for the other Refugees, haven't you?

But...there must have been something if you've even noticed it at all...right?

[The boy lifts his head as he lowers his hand to look back at the screen.]

I've been trying my best, anyway.

The answer should either be yes or no.

However, when chaos is involved...it can be difficult to ascertain which it is, if either.

[Which makes this a big resounding 'maybe.']

It is showing. [There is the slightest hint of a smile.] In your connection to me. We spoke before about changes in your glyph indicating aspects of my power that are being shared with you, if I recall. You should be able to access more, the brighter the glyph becomes.

[That really doesn't sound good at all. He's not quite sure he understands it, but that it's something that's bothering Prima, then it's a little concerning.

Ventus doesn't expect the smile, faint as it is. He can't help but smile back. If it's a little thing that can get Prima's mind off of whatever worries he has, just for a moment, then the boy is glad.]

I remember, yeah. Do you know what sort of power I'll be able to use now, or will I have to find out myself?

That...remains to be seen.

[He holds out a hand to the video screen, and produces a small ball of light which hovers above it--a skill Ven may already be familiar with.]

Have you been working with this?

[Blue eyes watch closely, and the boy nods in response to Prima's question.]

Yeah, I've made use of it quite a few times.

Show me.

We'll see what has changed from there.

Okay-

[He holds up a hand, bringing a sphere of light into being.]

Very good.

[He notes the strength of the light, and the steadiness.]

Now.

Can you do this?

[Subtly at first, the shape changes, until Prima is clearly holding a sword made out of light in his hand.]

It's as simple as imagining the light is a new object, and acting as if that is the object that it is.

-wow! You...think I can?

[Ventus stares at the screen- the Firstforged makes it look so easy, but then this is probably like second nature to him. He looks back at the light in his own hand.]

Hmm...

Imagining it as a new object, huh...

[What to imagine it as? A sword like Prima's? Maybe something simpler to start. The sphere's shape wavers.]

I believe so, yes. It feels as if our connection has strengthened.

[He watches Ventus.]

You are doing well. I find it helps if you concentrate on an object you already have a familiarity with, and pretend as if you're holding it. Your body will already know how it should feel...

Something I'm familiar with...

[The first thing he thinks of is a keyblade, but he'd have to be careful not to accidentally summon the real thing.

-better not to think of Wayward Wind, then. Fortunately, there's more than one keyblade he's familiar with. He can easily recall the wooden one that Terra had given him. Its shape, its size.

The light stretches and wobbles in his hand as it tries to reshape itself.]

[It would be a moment of trying...but with the familiarity of holding a keyblade so intrinsic to Ven, the light would eventually move to shape itself accordingly. There's a even a little keychain on it in the shape of his Glyph.]

I'm impressed.

It does appear that some more of my power has been given to you.

...

Tell me, how solid does the shape feel?

[Unlike the balls of light...which were merely balls...the keyblade feels almost exactly like a real keyblade.]

[His hand closes around it a little tighter, and if he didn't know any better, he would have thought that it was the real thing. Opening his eyes, Ven gasps, a broad smile appearing on his face.]

...wow..!

It feels pretty much like I remember it- but...it's still made of light, right?

That is correct.

However, you should be able to alter the density--to make what is intangible, tangible.

It...can do more.

While it won't hurt you, it can still be made to burn through material...Light, at its most intense.

I'll advise you to work with it as a simple solid object for now, however. Once you have mastered that, I will be happy to teach you more.

[Ventus nods eagerly.]

I'll be sure to practice, then!

I look forward to hearing from you.

However, there is much work I need to do, so if that is your only question...

[He sighs.]

I am afraid I should be going.

[The boy lowers his light-keyblade at that, head tilting.]

Would you let me know if there's anything I can do to help?

I shall.

Thank you for the offer, Ventus.

It's the least I can do.
