[By now, Ven's used to worldhopping, and after his last experience with the Star Shard, it's hardly a surprise to have crash landed in a brand new world. The sheer size of his new surroundings took him off guard, but it's kinda exciting to wind up somewhere so huge, so bustling, and so different.

Fortunately, he's adaptable, and he's picked up the basics of the console after that little crash course. Still, when the feed clicks on, he leans in for a moment, making sure the machine's recording. A few seconds later, he steps back and greets viewers with a bright smile and a wave.]

Whew! Okay, I think I got it working now, so if anyone's watching, I'm Ventus! But you can call me Ven.

[He chuckles. That came off a bit sillier than he intended. Ah well.]

This technology's something else! I mean, I've seen some pretty cool things in Deep Space, but it was all stuff like laser guns, low gravity chambers, escape pods... Nothing that'd let you talk to other people like this.

[At least, not that he knows of. Then again, he was kinda busy at the time.

But now he's getting carried away, so he sheepishly rubs his neck.]

Er, anyway, I've got an idea of what's going on now, and I wanna do whatever I can to help! But first, I've just got a quick question... Has anyone heard of the Unversed?

[Well, this is a surprise.]

Ventus?

[His tone suggests an 'are you sure that's your name?' type quality. It doesn't sound like this boy remembers having been here before, so under normal circumstances Skulduggery would assume he's mistaken. But he's rarely mistaken, and Ventus looks exactly like Xion's friend from the festival. The name back then had been Roxas, if he remembers correctly.

Strange. But he's being rude, isn't he?]

Ah, sorry. I haven't heard of the Unversed, no. What are they?

[When she first sees his face, first hears his voice (the same voice, yet so different too) on the network, she practically leaps to reply. But before she can say or do anything, he says his name, keeps talking and chattering, talking about things she's never even heard of before, and it sinks in. This isn't who she thinks it is.

... she can't quite do video. Or audio, for that matter.]

So you're Ventus?

[She should let Aqua and Terra know that he's here. She now has a slight inkling what the former must have felt like when Roxas was here.]

[Ven. Ven was here too now. First Terra a week ago, and now Ven. He's awake, he's fine, and goodness knows how much she's worried about his condition.

Aqua doesn't quite know why her friends are arriving all of a sudden. Could it be the bond of the Wayfinders influenced the spell summoning arrivals here? With both her and Terra present, it could be an explanation. She's beaming in pure joy as she turns the video on.]

Ven! Ven, you're here too!

[She turns away from the console for a moment, calling out behind her.]

Terra! Terra, come quickly, Ven's on the network! He's here!

[She spins back around, delighted beyond reason.]

I'm so happy to see you, Ven!

[Evidence indicated this person was a new arrival. As such, when Aya turned on the screen, she offered her most pleasant of smiles in greeting, along with a respectful nod of the head.]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Ventus.

Although, I am curious...if you claim to be well versed in interstellar travels, how is it you are unfamiliar with such relatively primitive--[Compared to the technology involved in Space Adventures]--visual communications?

[wintershepherd]

Huh, you'd think space travel and communications would keep up at the same rate.

Nice to meet you, Ven. I'm Jack.

[pushtheboundaries]

[have an older man looking a bit bemused] You had space transport but no decent set of communications, Ventus? Interesting.

That said, my name's Robert Callaghan. I'm afraid I haven't heard of these 'Unversed'.
