Mission 1: Arrival (Video)

*There's a pair of icy blue eyes on the screen, with a subtle warmth behind them that's at odds with the cold color. They belong to a young but scruffy looking face topped by white hair and bearing an expression somewhere between irritated and unimpressed. From the background, he still seems to be outside.*

Okay, first off, I've got a couple of questions, so why don't we humor the new guy for a while. Let's start off with the big stuff: where can a guy get a slice of pizza, a decent sundae and some booze around here? I just spent all day running around and it feels like I could eat a Gigapede if that wasn't the most disgusting idea I've ever heard.

Which actually brings me to the second question. I spent all day running around without food and was perfectly fine until I came here, aside from some serious cravings for cheese and tomato sauce. You see, I ain't exactly what you would call entirely normal, that's why I'm so good at what I do. So who's shit idea was it to bring me here, ask me to save the world and then add on 'by the way, you can't use any of the awesome and badass powers that usually help you get the job done'?

Actually, you know what, make that three questions. On the topic of saving the world, who's ass to I have to kick this time? Interdimensional gates don't normally screw with themselves when they're supposed to be closed, so I'm pretty sure someone's gotta be on a power trip. Though points for scale. Don't think I've ever heard of someone involving more than just the human world and the demon world in their evil schemes. ...Then again, until now, I didn't know there was anything other than the human world and the demon world. Guess they're right, you do learn something new every day.

About two months I think.

[ and Ryudamon pokes his head up. ]

Definitely two months.

[hellspawnedhero]

Huh...and here I was hoping to get this done and over with in a few days. Ahh well. Mind givin' the new guy the Cliff Notes version of the must visits around here?

[heartdive]

[ bad, Dante. bad. because Sora is going to ramble about the terminal that leads out to the beach. and Tokyo Tower. also the Statue of Liberty.

plus a few of his favorite places to eat. HERP. ]

[hellspawnedhero]

Huh, like a world tour all without leaving town. But I think I know my first stop.

[heartdive]

Dropping off your stuff at your place? I know I had to.

That was because you had so much stuff to carry.

That wasn't my fault!

[hellspawnedhero]

After that.

How were you carrying all of that before, anyway? You said you couldn't open the briefcase...

Magic, kid. Something I ain't got here.

[heartdive]

At least you understand my problem...

[hellspawnedhero]

*Eyebrow.*

You a magic user?

[heartdive]

Duh.

[hellspawnedhero]

Huh, well ain't that something. Only other guy I know that's your age and can use magic's got demon blood in 'im.

[heartdive]

It's not demon blood. It's because of the Keyblade.

[hellspawnedhero]

Keywhatnow?

[heartdive]

Keyblade. It's like a sword in the shape of a key. Unlocks anything. Only thing that the Heartless fear.

[hellspawnedhero]

Huh. I've been around the block a few times and seen my share of weird ass weapons, but that's a new one on me.

*He says this with Lucifer hanging off one shoulder while using Pandora's Box to carry his vital stars, devil stars, holy waters and red orbs...*

[heartdive]

...Okay so maybe I don't follow the "no involvement" rule. Anyone with a Keyblade isn't really supposed to interfere with what's what in the world that they're in.

[hellspawnedhero]

Sounds like a pain in the ass and pointless as hell.

[heartdive]

Like I said. I kinda ignore it. Seriously, I can't just sit around and do nothing when there are people that need help.

[hellspawnedhero]

Kid, I think you and me are gonna get along great.

[heartdive]

I do like making friends.

[hellspawnedhero]

The name's Dante. And the toy lion's Coronamon.

*He adjusts the camera so that it shows his partner walking along next to him.*

Why do you keep calling me a toy?

[heartdive]

Hi Coronamon!

[ and once more Ryudamon swipes the device to get a good look. ]

Ryudamon here.

[hellspawnedhero]

It's nice to meet both of you!

*Dante reaches down to pat Coronamon's head, wearing a strange looking set of gauntlets.*

Yer a toy 'cause you're small and fluffy.

[heartdive]

Good to meet you too. Though, you do know that he won't be "small and fluffy" all of the time, correct?

Maybe furry. Ryudamon gets scales when he becomes Ginryumon.

[hellspawnedhero]

I'll stop callin' him a toy when he stops lookin' like one.

What about kid?

...We'll see.

[heartdive]

Better than nothing I guess...
