Characters: Luke (and his cheagle) and open to all!
Setting: Meadow floor, Saturday afternoon
Format: [Action] spam
Summary: Luke left his broken sword in the Meadow because he was more worried about Yu than he was about it. Now he needs to find it and see if it's worth saving, in addition to the feels that come with it.
Warnings: Feels, man. Just FEELS.

[Luke frowned as he shuffled around the meadow, keeping his eyes on the grass as his booted feet brushed back and forth through it. He hadn't gone back to collect his sword right away, more concerned over Yu's safety and what the fog could be doing to everyone than his weapon. Now that the fog was gone and everything seemed to be back to normal, he had the time to spare to look for it. Only problem was trying to find it; he couldn't remember the exact location he had dropped it, if it was even still there. For all he knew someone picked it up to get it out of the way.]

[Amnon, his little pink cheagle, was curled up on his shoulder, ears wiggling as he sniffed the air. He suddenly let out a surprised, "Mieu!" arcing up, before jumping off of Luke's shoulder and darting through the grass. He paused at a spot, before jumping up and down, shouting excitedly. Luke ran over, spotting the glint of metal from a few feet away, and dropping to the ground to pick up his damaged weapon.]

Hey, see if you can find the tip.

[Amnon let out an excited, "Mieuuu!", shooting off into the grass as Luke stayed where he was, leaning back to sit on his feet as he examined the blade. It was pretty well toast; a good portion of the tip had snapped off, and cracks and stresses in the metal were littered all along the break, extending down into the sword. Even if he tried to use it again, it would only be a matter of time before more pieces broke off.]

[He sighed softly, letting his hand run along the flat of the blade. Would it even be worth keeping anyway? Master Van had given this sword to him... and...]

[I didn't lose my childhood. I didn't have a childhood to lose!]

[Luke shuddered at the memory of his shadow's words, feeling tears starting to well up in his eyes. He raised his hand, rubbing at them furiously; dammit, he had cried enough after he recovered from the attack. He wasn't going to do this anymore, no matter how much the thought of Master Van lying to him hur--]

[...dammit, there went the tears again. He let out an aggravated noise, flailing before fighting furiously against his face.]

[Clearly, he needs a distraction.]

[She looks down and away. She was lucky. She had Riku, and Sora, and so many others from her worlds. It sounded like he had nobody.]

Maybe someone else will come someday. I don't think... everyone not here is gone. Not entirely.

[Luke shook his head.]

No... the admins; they thought they'd be sadists and send me back to my world for a couple weeks. There was... nothing left to my world.

... I still think some of your friends might come though.

[She grimaces, looking down at her hands] One of my friends left a long while back. He came back a little while ago. He doesn't... remember anything, but he's still here. And others from my worlds. We didn't all come at the same time.

[She knows the theory Gandalf has about that - that they're all from different universes, but plenty of the universes were so similar they might as well have been not different at all.]

Hunh? But...

[That doesn't make sense... how could they not come from the same time? They were supposed to go to Akzeriuth... and then everything ended. There wasn't much else to come from there.]

[He... seemed confused. If he's never had anybody come from his world before though... that's probably not surprising.]

Not everyone comes from the same time... sometimes people will remember more or less than others. Like... a friend of mine, Riku... he comes from two months later than me, after- [~~I die~~] Something bad happens.

Meanwhile, another boy from my worlds... Sora... [She swallows slightly, then continues] He's from before a lot of things happened. I remember him doing things he hasn't done yet.

[A different kind of "remembering" than most people, but details]

Hunh, that's... really weird... but, how can they come from after our worlds have been destroyed? I don't get it...

[Guh she should probably be honest about what she knows, shouldn't she.]

Someone I know said that they heard it's because all of us are from different universes... even those of us from the same worlds. But if that's true... then there are two universes, or even more... where the same things have happened. I dunno but... it seems strange to me.

Sometimes people will come from the same sort of universe where other things have happened, though.

[The easiest way to try to explain that would've been her otherself, but... she didn't know how to even begin with that, without explaining half of her entire circumstances.]

I... don't get it, but I'll take your word for it.

[Luke blew out a breath. He didn't want to get his hopes up...]

Well... [She sighs.] Like... there is... was... [She'd checked Fey's door after noticing her absence for a few days] another version of me here. We called her "Fey," and... she looked really different from me. But... we knew the same people, had the same friends. We even had a lot of the same memories. But... something went different for her, in her world.

[She hesitates, looking down and away] I never found out what, though.

[...woah, that was...]

So... another version of me could show up? From an Auldrant, but... different?
