Alias could only feel disheartened. It felt like this Zac guy was sent here by some malevolent being to crush their hopes and dreams. It hurt when even Hoshi expressed doubts at their plan. Was he really just some naive and delusional kid? Hoping for the best and refusing to accept the worst? He gave her a soft nod, unable to vocalize it in fear of them never being able to leave this world. Zac certainly wasn't going to take them with him. He didn't think they had what it took to survive out there and unless he was some kind of creep he wouldn't want to take them from their parents to go on a perilous adventure.

A dormant and hidden anger started to boil to the surface as Zac began explaining the process of traveling between worlds and how it would result in sure death for kids like them. He didn't even know them. He was treating them like defenseless children. At least that's all Alias was hearing. Every word out of the stranger's mouth dropped like bricks building a wall to close off their goals and dreams for good. His heart couldn't take it. He was aching inside. His entire life he had dreamed of traveling to other worlds and going on adventures with his friends. This was supposed to be reality? No. He couldn't accept it. He refused to accept it.

Then Zac went and pushed the Kitsu death button. Something triggered inside of Alias. Magic, spaceships, world barriers, dangerous corridors, doors, or shadows. None of it mattered to him right now. "Kitsu would've never been lost at sea!!!" Alias tried to make a fist, very tempted to knock this guy out, but instead a light flashed in his right hand before what appeared to be a large key appeared in it. The strange key disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Alias was so tunnel visioned on Zac that he didn't even notice. How? That's impossible... It's not time yet. Who are you, Child of Radiance? A voice echoed in his mind, no. That wasn't right. His heart? That wasn't possible, was it? The voice seemed to calm him down. He let out a deep exhale trying to regain his composure. "Kitsu is the strongest person I know. This island builds survivors. The sea is our home. He'd never fall to it. And as a matter of fact, Hoshi feels him out there and I've been feeling things out there for as long as I could remember. It was dark and cold, but lately I've been feeling light too. Calling out to me." Then he remembered what Morgan said. He thought he felt something back there when he and Hoshi were heading back from their talk. He just thought he was imagining things because of their conversation. But was someone else actually here? Was his family in danger? Or was his family about to become whole again?

"So maybe you're right." Alias conceded before clarifying what he was right about. "Our raft wouldn't have taken us off world. We never expected it to. There has to be a way in and out of this world in the water. We're going to see other worlds and we're going to find Kitsu and no one, not even a barrier is going to stop us."

Seifer (there for some reason): ISN'T THIS ROMANTIC?

Post in coming.

@King Kindred @Bacon how do you feel about a sunset convo between Hoshi, Alias, and Levi (HAL for short) a la SRK? By the paupu tree? I feel like their shared connection to Kitsu would naturally have them on closer terms with each other.

@Little Bird

I love it. Once Levi leaves I could see Alias stopping Hoshi so they could share a Paopu fruit together.

<Snipped quote by Little Bird>

Well now Lucian feels left out.

@Crimson Flame

It's totally an anti-royalty thing.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Lol good luck trying to teach Alias in Stubborn Mode.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Oh Alias could feel it alright. The same sensation that fell over him just moments ago resurfaced its ugly face. Was he really just about to die for a second time today? Was Death specifically targeting him? If he survived whatever was coming he'd be beyond lucky. If Death came for him a third time today he just might accept the eternal sleep and be done with it. Clearly he's wanted. Suddenly the shell in Alias's hand turned colder than ice. He dropped it immediately and examined his hand and the fallen shell. "What the----" he attempted to say. He should not have taken his attention off the Ice Queen before him. He was too distracted to notice the incoming ice fast. "Oof." was all he could muster as the young warrior could muster before hunching over in pain. What the Hell was going on today?

He recovered quickly, but still rubbed his pained stomach. He wasn't sure if he was glad or not that he skipped breakfast today. "I wasn't playing a prank. You passed out." But Alias couldn't focus on that or her magic for long before Zac's words still lingered in his mind. He confirmed that there were other worlds out there and he was from one, multiple even. He would've felt completely vindicated if it hadn't been for his words to Lucian. He was wrong. He had to be. Yeah, he might have gotten here on a spaceship as well, but he didn't entirely remember that whole ordeal. But more importantly, Tsu was out there. He and Hoshi knew it and the latter could feel it. This Zac guy clearly didn't know everything. He didn't know how to stop his own ship from falling out of the sky onto a beach where kids played.

Alias thanked Hoshi for helping him up and turned to Zac. "She always said she could, just no one believed her until now. Just like no one believed us about other worlds. So far we're two for two. You don't need that flying death machine to get to other worlds. Our friend Kitsu left on a boat and we don't know how Morgan and I got here, but no one saw one of your spaceships. There are other ways." Alias was trying to sound confident and sure of what he was saying, but his frustration and anger at the thought that they could be wrong was seeping out through his tone.

Would Lucian replace his mother? I was gonna suggest a bait & switch situation where she secretly passed her power to him, but the Disney villains don't realize it so she gets taken instead and they're like, why the f isn't this working as advertised?

@Little Bird

Yeah, he replaced his mother. Maybe she ends up in Traverse Town as well and gets princessnapped. So when Lucian arrives he finds his dad in hysteria beginning his adventure.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Rip Donald and Goofy. :(

@Crimson Flame

They'd likely still be sent out. Probably to find Lucian to protect him as both a Keyblade wielder and Prince of Heart.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Oh, I didn't know that, sorry! :') Maybe they could be an purely original Princess of Heart(and also, I'm not sure if my OC is gonna stay a Princess, or actually turn out to be a trans boy and Prince of Heart. Would you guys be okay if that actually happens, and the OC finds out who they really are throughout the RP? :') I'm not trying to replace Lucian, btw, there'd simply be two Princes of Heart! xD :D)?

@Dragonfly 9

That sounds good to me. They could always be a new one at the end of the first game. Or what happens with Alice inadvertently transfers the light over to them.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

<Snipped quote by King Kindred>

There might be a little snag with that: For my OC, I'm kinda already doing the partially amnesiac girl(?) idea, so either Alias and Alice meet them and they join them on their adventure, or, like you said, the Queen sends your OC with him, and they're won over by him/sees that Alice is actually innocent somehow. And yeah, if my OC isn't captured at that point, they'll probably join Alias, Max, and Daisy.

@Dragonfly 9

She could be at Mad Hatter's when they get there if you want them to meet your OC before the arrest.

Edit: Oh yeah. We were talking in the OOC earlier and everyone seems to like the idea of replacing Kairi with Kida from Atlantis as a Princess of Heart so we could go through that movie.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Also, I finally have an idea for a character! She's either gonna be a rabbit native from Wonderland, who's got the Disney Princess Disease, and wants to see what's outside of her home, or a girl around Alias' age who couldn't find her way out of Wonderland in the past(with her having been there even longer than both Alice and Alias), and is friendly and enthusiastic, but also a bit weird in her mannerisms. She's also a bit of an amnesiac, and her strange habits come from both the Wonderland madness infecting her a bit, and trying to hang on to the memories she does have and trying to copy who she was in those, even tho they're slipping away as well.

Origins are either she's actually a Princess of Heart(and might be kidnapped by the villains, depending on what the players do) and is from either Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden or a Disney World(not Castle of Dreams, tho; that's Lucian), or...y'know, the Princess of Heart could work, now that I think about it. Could see her being friends with Lucian as well! xD

I have plans for Wonderland as well! What are your plans for it, King Kindred? Should you take full control of the others' journey, while you and I both have partial control of the Wonderland stuff(with me taking control of the OC and Wonderland itself/its inhabitants, and you taking control of Alias, potentially the people who show up to try to save Alias(like that KH-ified Max), and Alice)?

@Dragonfly 9

A rabbit girl might honestly bring an interesting mix to the journey. Alias might be turning into Hajime Nagumo from Arifureta which is funny because I almost gave him a Nobody with similar hair.

As for my Wonderland plans I was gonna have Alias follow the movie with Alice leading to them being captured and put on trial. Alias asks to be able to go investigate but since she doesn't trust him the Queen sends your OC with him? Gets back to trial and saves Alice only for her to be lost again. (Enters Alias's Heart) He believes she's been taken by the darkness so if your character is still there and not kidnapped as well she joins him, Max, and Daisy? They leave right before the others show up in Wonderland.
