Eleventh Step -> Audio/Video/Action for Route 34 (Backdated to the 24th)

[falseshore]

[This network post starts with just audio, and mostly some shuffling sounds and a dull thunk, as well as Rep's voice.]

Hey, be careful with that, don't lose it.

[The video comes on a few seconds later, showing Rep peering down at the screen, his hair hanging around his face. One of his hands is clutched into a fist.]

Got it now. Check it out, I got some more badges!

[He opens the fist, showing off a Hive badge and a Plain badge to the camera, looking and sounding immensely proud of himself.]

Got kicked out of Whitney's gym...for the second time. Her bodyguards probably know my face by now, so I probably won't be able to go back. Or maybe they'll let me back in if I leave Aura behind...

Do all the girl gym leaders cry when you beat them? 'Cause I'm going to avoid their gyms if that's going to happen every time.

[He starts to switch off the recording, but then stops.]

Not related to crybaby gym leaders, but I'm looking for a Volcarona and...whatever Torchic evolves into for...breeding purposes. I'll...pay you, I suppose, if anyone can lend one of those two to me for awhile.

[And then he does shut it off.]

Evan. [ Sinking feeling here... She rubs the side of her head, feeling her head hurt just from trying to figure hits out herself. ]

... Right. Evan. It's nice to meet you, and congratulations on getting the badge.

[ Yet her tone is awkwardly robotic as she says this, her mind still somewhere else. ]

[falseshore]

Two badges.

[He doesn't mean to be rude, it's more of an automatic response.]

...You okay?

[memoryborn]

Er, yeah. I'm okay. I just... didn't expect Riku had more people that looked like him.

[falseshore]

I hope there isn't more. Two of us is more than enough.

[memoryborn]

I know about the data book, but how did you... er, come to be? If that's okay to ask.

[falseshore]

[He's quiet for a few moments while he thinks about that question, sorry Xion. It's not a question he's actually been asked before, and so it's caught him off-guard. No one's ever told him the answer, either.]

...I don't know. I just woke up in the castle one day.

[memoryborn]

A castle. [ I see. ] Same as me, then.

[falseshore]

Was it all white and full of creeps in black coats?

[His opinion of the Castle Oblivion crew, let him show you it.]

[memoryborn]

Er, yes. Though, it was mostly empty whenever I visited.

[ Also, she's wearing said coat. Um. Huh. ]

I'm assuming this is all video, yes?

[falseshore]

[Open mouth, insert foot. But he doesn't hate her, really!]

Maybe you visited after Sora got rid of 'em all.

[Riku's contribution didn't count (much), nope.]

I didn't see any other girls besides Naminé and Larxene while I was there.

yes? I stated so at the beginning of the thread

[memoryborn]

That was probably it. I came around after Sora cleared the castle.

[ Well, actually, she knows that's how it goes. She has some memory of what happened from Sora's POV, anyway. ]

...You did. I am a dumb, sorry.

[falseshore]

Hm. So, are you a replica too?

[The important questions, he asks them.]

It's okay.

[memoryborn]

[ At least he's to the point! ]

Yeah. The first one, apparently. I wasn't aware there were others before.
