Luculent Reveries

"I know... That's why I said that to him and not the rest of you."

*Taiyo points to Clegus.*

Cid<Didn't get the name. What you need is a Navigation Gummi. Right now, I only got the 1st generation version, but that should be all ya need. Costs 50 Munny.>
================================================
N"Yeah, it should. But I only had enough Munny for 1. Do you need one?"

T"We didn't check. I guess we should probably get one."

N"I also had my ship customized while I was there. It looks awesome."
================================================
*As Raven is wandering through the crystal woods, he hears a high-pitched voice.*

???<Ooh, I see you've got a Keyblade!>

*As he looks around, he can't see who's speaking for a moment.*

???<Down here!>

*When he looks down at his waist, he sess Mickey Mouse in an Organization cloak smiling at him & flicking his tail. Because it's just impossible to describe that in adjectives.*

???: <Sounds good. Here's the money.>

*Cid hands her a Navigation Gummi and grabs another of his fliers*

Cid: <Hey, if yer goin' to travel, mind takin'...>

*The girl has run out the door and disappeared into the woods running.*

=====

Clegus: <You do that. Imma take the chance to go and beat Seifer up!>

"And I'm going to do things with Mimi!"

Mimiru:<No. No you're not.>

"I was just going suggest trading clothes. Well what about you... err..."

Mimiru:<Thiera.>

"Yeah! How 'bout it Thiera, wanna trade clothes?"

T"No. Just...no. Why don't we do some of the jobs on these fliers until we're ready to go?"

N"I do like to have stuff."

*Raven is startled upon seeing him and stumbles back a few feet onto the ground*

Raven:<What the...?! Who or... what are you?!

"...Fine..."

Mimiru:<Now that her day has been ruined, what all does the flier say?>

*Thiera looks at the flier nearest to her.*

T"Looks like this one's about picking up trash on the beach...you guys have a beach?"
==============================================
???<I'm Mickey!>

*He holds out a hand to help him up.*

"There's a beach here?"

Mimiru:<Probably isn't used much or at all, what with it being dark all the time and all.>

*Raven ignores his offer and gets up on his own*

Raven: <Sorry, but I don't quite trust you yet. Why are you talking to me, anyway? And how do you know about Keyblades?>

Mickey<Because I have one, silly!>

*His hand glows, becoming a golden Kingdom Key with a silver hilt.*

Mickey<Us Keyblade Masters gotta stick together, if we're gonna beat the Dreameaters!>
=========================================
N"It's probably talking about the lake beach. I believe it's mainly used by horny teenagers trying to get laid."

T"You 'believe,' do you?"

*Raven is shocked to see the oversized mouse known as Mickey wielding a Keyblade*

Raven: <Well, where would you recommend going to first? We can't do it alone.>

Mimiru:<Or so he's heard. Odd of him being there to get laid are... none.>

"Ew, I don't want to pick up garbage there."

*The crystal trees sparkle brightly in the sunlight. Mickey points his Keyblade at him. His own Keyblade responds, forming in his hand. The 2 blades fire beams of light at each other, intersecting in the middle & forming an elaborate crystal doorway in midair.*

Mickey<Through there, you'll find some friends. I gotta go for now, but we'll meet again soon. It's a promise!>

*With that, Mickey bounds off, disappearing into the bushes.*
========================================
T"Well, we gotta do SOMETHING, or else we can't continue our mission. Beggars can't be choosers."

N"Speak for yourself, whoever goes with me is already set."

T"But you said you like stuff, & wherever you bought that, they probably have other things for Gummi Ships."

N"Point taken. I guess I didn't really stick around to ask him about it."
N"Point taken."

*Raven scratches his head in confusion at the strange events taking place*

Raven: [Should I go in or not....]

*He touches the door, observing its strange design*

Raven: [Hmm...]

*He opens the door and walks through it. He becomes blinded with light as he struggles to see directly ahead of him.*

"There has to be something else."

Mimiru:<Yeah, I'd really not want to pick up used condoms.>

*As he steps through the door, he enters a forest scene identical to the one he's just at, but with 2 major differences. First, it's nighttime, & second, he can hear voices from the city.*
=================================================
T"Okay...there's something here about trading crystals for Munny. That sounds like it'd pay well, if we could find any."

*Taiyo goes over to the tree Clegus was staring at with the crystal embedded in it*

"Is this one? 'Cause if so, I'm taking it."

*She goes about trying to wretch the crystal free*

*He catches a flier flying by*

Clegus: <This one's about finding a treasure... weird, this seems to have been hand drawn...>

T"I guess I'm game for a treasure hunt. What about you, Nero?"

*Nero materializes the Keyblade in his hand.*

N"I'm sure someone needs something locked. Or a lock picked."

*Nero starts walking down the alley.*

T"So, meet up in about 5 minutes? ...10? ...Sometime later...?"

*Taiyo finally wrenches the crystal free.*

Clegus: <I can barely read what's written on it.. "Millions...funny...dull... winds... Iris." I think it's something about Lake Iris in the woods... should we check it out?>

Mimiru:<Always with the woods.>

"So I can exchange this crystal for money?"

Mimiru:<Until it turns out to be a big thing of spider eggs.>

*Taiyo shrieks almonst dropping the crystal.*

"Don't say that! Spiders are scary."

T"I think you have to find a shop first."
======================================
*Nero is just walking around in public with a giant key over his shoulder.*

*Clegus leads Thiera to Lake Iris in the woods. Leaning forward, they see a variety of long fish with scales of purples and blues swimming around. After a few seconds, they hear a voice behind them*

???: <Finally, someone came! Wait a minute...>

*They turn around to find Rikku, Yuna and Pain, first of which was the one talking*

Clegus: <You again?!>

=====

*He somehow wanders off into the ice cream shop. As he walks in, he's surprised by Scrooge McDuck*

Scrooge: <It's you!>

*Raven looks at the pitch black sky and walks towards the voices*

Raven: <I wonder what kind of world this is...>
