[Aerith's been pretty busy ever since arriving, though a bit unsettled by her new surroundings at first. yeah, she might have spent a large chunk of her life on a world that wasn't actually her own, spontaneous world travel wasn't exactly something she has a lot of experience with, either.]

[regardless! sometimes other worlds need more assistance than her own does, and Aerith is more than willing to help out. besides, seeing a bunch of people from different places gathered into one area is pleasantly familiar. no need to worry about breaking the rules about different worlds here.]

[so have a smiling face, Asgard.]

Hello! I have a quick question for everyone – there are a lot of people here from a lot of different places, so I'm hoping there are others here who would know.

Is anybody else familiar with hearts? Not just the organ; I mean more like the hearts that pertain to worlds themselves.

If you do, let me know. I have an idea.

--You know about the Hearts inside worlds?

video

[haveacuraga]

Yes.

It sounds like you do, too.

(video)

[counterbalanced]

[Normally, Edmund would have been skeptical of such a thing, but since countries could apparently be personified, Edmund doesn't see why worlds couldn't have hearts, either.]

What makes up the heart of a world? Assuming it isn't simply a tangible object like the organ you mentioned.

(video)

[haveacuraga]

It's made of light and darkness, just like a person's heart. – And, just like a person's heart, it can be corrupted if it's not protected.

It's sort of hard to describe, but it's easier to picture if you think of each world as a unique person with its own feelings.

[That was it. Samantha was officially surrounded by crazy people.]

What the hell are you talking about?

[She's staring at Aerith, a cap on her head, with 'that look.'=

Video

[haveacuraga]

[... yup, she is well acquainted with that look.]

Most of the worlds I've been to have their own hearts. I know it sounds strange, but I like to think it's not the strangest story out there.

[oh what a pretty woman]

You have me curious, here. Ah - sorry, to answer you're question, I don't know but I'd love to hear what that means. Hearts of worlds? World's are just... planets, right? Can they have hearts?

VIDEO

[haveacuraga]

Most of them do! I think... hearts are kind of what makes a world unique, just like people.

[video]

[trinitylimit]

I'm pretty familiar with them!

[video]

[haveacuraga]

Sora! When did you get here?

video

[badluckdelivery]

World's have hearts?
Does that mean worlds have emotions? Do a mommy and daddy world make a baby world?

[this is a legitimate question]

video

[haveacuraga]

[... one Aerith has never considered before, but really, she probably should have at one point.]

You know, I don't see why not. Maybe they're split into entire families of worlds.

Voice

[childsoldier]

Worlds have hearts?

Voice

[haveacuraga]

Yes, as far as I know. It's usually very well hidden, however.

video

[holyfight]

[that gets kind of a smile out of Orihime]

I know something about hearts. I've never thought about the hearts of planets before, though.

video

[haveacuraga]

[there's a smile on her end as well.]

It's nice to meet someone who knows a little bit about hearts all the same. My name's Aerith.

voice;

[darkbreak]

Generally, that's not something a lot of people know here.

[It's Aerith, and he remembers when she was here before. But he still feels awkward. For the most part, she's still Sora's friend and not his. Though she could be a potential ally in the future.

Regardless, he doesn't quite feel deserving to talk to her.]

voice;

[haveacuraga]

[you do realize that every friend of Sora's is a friend of hers, Riku! she will educate you. eventually.]

I've found a few people, at least. [there's a light lilt in that sentence that seems to ask if perhaps Riku is one of them.]

[titties]

... Actually, I think I know what you mean pretty well.

[haveacuraga]

Really? Did you encounter something similar on your world?

video.

[respectus]

Sorta like the thing that makes the world go 'round?

video.

[haveacuraga]

That's exactly it, actually!

Video

[uprisen]

Sure! I've got a few hundred thousand saved up.

Video

[haveacuraga]

... Pardon?

video

[selfestheim]

[well, this kid doesn't know, but he sounds pretty curious about it.]

... What do you mean by that?

video

[haveacuraga]

[she's more than happy to oblige his curiosity.]

Well... What would you say is the source of who you are? Your personality, your feelings... what drives you to do what it is you do...

A heart kind of works the same way for a world. It's what makes a world – and the people on it – special.

audio

[showmeanguish]

Someone with an idea? That's a first.

audio

[haveacuraga]

[... Sora? Aerith never pegged him to be the kind to play practical jokes, nor would she suspect he'd be very good at it...]

[but all right, she'll play along.]

You know, sarcasm never really was your strong point.

[Video] /FLYING TACKLE

[paintsrainbows]

You lost me on the world-heart concept.

But what's the idea?

[Video] DEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[haveacuraga]

What would you say is the source of who you are?

voice;

[catorce]

[Huh. She doesn't know who this girl is, but if she's talking about hearts, then maybe... she's from the same world? Approaching with slight caution, it is.]

What kind of idea are you talking about?

voice;

[haveacuraga]

I was wondering if the lack of color had anything to do with this world's heart.

[voice] I'm sorry, I completely missed this orz

[pyritic]

[ Aerith?

...He's not sure if this is the Aerith he knows. On the one hand, she is talking about "hearts". On the other, she's talking about a Planet's heart. ]

I'm not familiar with hearts. Might be familiar with you.

[ ...That might sound weird to someone else, Cloud. He doesn't recognize it, since this whole situation's weird to him anyway. ]

[voice] no worries! <3

[haveacuraga]

[she'd know that voice anywhere, even if they're not... from the same reality, as it were.]

You know light and darkness, right, Cloud?
