BUT WHERE ARE THEY [Open]

[unrecovered]

Who: Anyone who wants to look for keyholes
What: Time to split up and find the mysterious migrating keyholes.
Where: Every World
When: Half an hour after this post
Warnings: Depends on who shows up and what goes down.

[We're gonna skip the meeting; for now, each world has its own subthread. The mods will keep an eye on them and let you know if you find the keyhole and/or drop hints as to its location. No tagging order.]

[A note: Wash will probably have recommended that people stick to searching the worlds they know best. Feel free to utterly disregard his advice.]

Traverse Town

[unrecovered]

Truth be told, Aqua didn't know very many of the worlds terribly well. But she wasn't about to let the keyholes simply vanish and stay vanished. And with that, she figures that maybe it'll be best to start at the first world they'd been able to get to, when they woke to the dreaming. Besides she's spent a good amount of her time in Twilight Town, so it sems reasonable enough that she might manage something of use.

She starts her search in the First District, not so much because she really expects the keyhole to be there, but because it seems like as god a place as any to start.

Sora had started with Traverse Town more because he knew of a possible place the Keyhole could be if it really had moved than because he knew the world well. Well, he could think of two spots actually and while one was closer to where he was starting, the other seemed much more likely. So he was making his way to Fifth District.

He paused in First District to consider which route to take, as he was pretty sure they should avoid the post office if they didn't need to go there, but the back streets could be a pain sometimes too. And as was the norm when a friend was nearby, his Spirits noticed first. However, only Jelly Bean took off to investigate. Leo, refreshingly, did not have the same tendency to just run off with little to no warning. Instead he drew Sora's attention to the fact that Jelly Bean had wandered off and the two followed the Meow Wow. He still had a little bit of a head start, though, and so would be getting there before his person and fellow Spirit.

Late to the party like a late thing

Namine had promised Wash she'd be careful, and she was. Careful, though didn't mean simply staying at home and waiting. Looking around in Traverse Town didn't count as an unnecessary risk, right? She knew it well by now, and they needed the information.

Instead of leaving any Spirits at home, she'd decided to have all of them waiting in whatever space they went to when dismissed. Just in case. When she got to the First District, Batty and Archimedes were helping by scouting from the air. It was Batty who first saw the others and chittered a greeting before going back to get his Person. C'mon, there are friends here!

Catching a glimpse of Sora, Namine hurried to catch up. She'd reach him and Aqua soon.

It wouldn't have surprised Aqua in the slightest to find that the Keyhole had migrated to the Post Office. But even so she could definitely understand not wanting to start there. Not if it's only going to end up in something similar to what happened the last time they all ended up checking out the Post Office.

Not, of course that this makes it any easier to decide where to start. After all, all anyone knows for certain is where it isn't, and Traverse Town is a fairly large place. But the question of where to go could, perhaps, be dealt with at some point after everyone had gathered, her Pricklemane bounding over in the direction of Sora's spirits even as she turns. Her bat meanwhile, heads over in Naminé's direction to offer his own hellos to Batty.

Was anyone going to be happy if the Keyhole had migrated to the post office? On the plus side, that did seem kind of unlikely. Besides that, it just felt like a better idea to look in less dangerous places first. So, if there were no objections, Sora wanted to check out Fifth District. They could certainly check out other spots along the way as well. The big fountain in Fountain Plaza seemed like a possible place for the Keyhole to go too.

He hoped, as he greeted his companions, that they wouldn't mind too much that he was thinking of heading clear across town to start looking.

*hugs*

The Post Office was the least convenient place for the Keyhole, and possibly the least likely. Namine would be fine with checking less dangerous places first. That seemed to make the most sense. As far as where they started, Namine was agreeable to most places.

"Hello Sora, Aqua." Namine smiled as Batty chittered a greeting to Aqua's bat, and Archimedes went to investigate Sora.

[wavesinherheart]

They'd have to start somewhere, at the very least. Otherwise they almost certainly wouldn't find the Keyhole. But as long as they started somewhere, Aqua had no particular preference where they started. If that meant heading all the way across town to get their search started, it didn't really matter as much in the long run.

"Hello to you as well," she answered, with nods to both Sora and Naminé as her bat started chattering happily at Batty, presumably in an attempt to catch up any particularly interesting news. It had, after all, been at least some time since the two bats had had a chance to catch up, and the disappearance of the Keyholes - not that Aqua's bat entirely knows what those are - is still something relatively new and something that's probably interesting besides.

"Do you either of you have any ideas about where we should start looking?"

[dork_of_keys]

As long as no one objected. Besides, there was nothing stopping them from checking other spots along the way.

“Hey, guys.” Sora's Spirits joined in the chatter with the other Spirits. Leo is new to the idea of Keyholes himself, but he has gathered that they're important and they're disappearance problematic.

It was a problem Sora was pretty sure they could solve. They just needed to find the Keyholes. “I was thinking we could check out Fifth District and the Greenhouse. I know we fought the big Nightmare there and then the Keyhole was in Second District, but I when I went through this before, the Keyholes all appeared where the big Nightmares were fought. It seems possible it could be there now. And we can also look at some other spots on the way there, like the big fountain in Fountain Plaza.”
