Alice moved slowly through the darkness. "Oh... How far does this go?" She wasn't too glad to be in the full black place, she couldn't even see her arms, let alone the walls and ceiling, if there were any.
Alice blinked and looked around. "I don't mind any riddles right now, Cat? Are you there? Did I actually end up lost?" She was feeling sad and felt like crying.

Umin walked cheerfully forward, not really noticing the darkness around him. He thought it was just night and maybe some roof was above him, covering the moon and stars. He walked with a big smile forward and the spirits looked bored at the cheerful guy. "How do we ever get back home when following this total idiot?" The other spirits shrugged and Umin didn't understand who they meant.
Umin couldn't see where he walked, but just kept walking and suddenly bumped into something or someone. "Ouch!" He fell forward on the thing or person he hit. Then he tried to feel what he hit and felt a face. "Oh, sorry, the night, y'know... It's pretty dark. Uhm..." Umin was all confused and couldn't see the person.

Alice moved slowly foward and heard someone through the darkness. She opened her mouth to call out for that person, but suddenly got hit by something and fell backwards and someone or something fell on top of her. "Ouch!"
Alice blinked as it was a 'someone' and it was now touching her face. "Oh, sorry, the night, y'know... It's pretty dark. Uhm..." The person sounded like a boy and sounded confused. "Oh... Don't worry, I'm fine... Can you get off me?" Alice pushed at the boy a bit to try and get out underneath him.

The darkness was a beautiful place. No one there and nothing to be seen. A great spot for the Remnant to come and relax and think things through without being distracted. And to be honest, it was also a great training ground for the likes of someone such as Kadaj for practicing his summoning of Shower Creepers and of course, the almighty Bahamut SIN. Which was he going to do today? Probably none of them it seems since there were others walking around within the darkness.
A portal opened up, looking pretty solid and perfect. A loud dark hum escaped from the glowing portal as the figure of Kadaj, the Remnant and brother of Loz and Yazoo stepped out, reaching his hands up into the sky and stretching with a yawn. The portal quickly disappeared behind him and he smiled to himself for a second as he looked around the darkness and felt comfortable here.
That was however, until he quickly picked up a couple of presences not too far away. Unlike people of the Light, Kadaj could see here perfectly, as his bright, Mako imbued and evil eyes could cut through the darkness like a hot knife could slice through butter. This is when his eyes rested upon a couple of figures in the distance. A young girl in a blue dress with a white apron and next to her, a young lad with bright white hair covering his eyes and clothes that resembled those of a priest.
"Oh no... That's not Umin is it?" Kadaj groaned quietly to himself as he lifted a hand and placed it on his forehead, shaking his head from side to side and looking skywards as he did so. The Remnant had already had enough of this crazy little guy from Destiny Island when he first arrived in this world, and he certainly didn't want to run back into him anytime soon.
Yet from the first time he and Umin had met, Kadaj has been traveling the worlds and eventually bumped into Maleficent, a witch of the Darkness who trained him in several techniques within the darkness, and just from looking at the Remnant's appearance, it was clear to tell that he had become a lot stronger then when he first arrived in the worlds of Kingdom Hearts.
However for the moment, the Remnant stood his ground and watched the pair from a distance to see what was going to happen between the two of them.

The person that was under Umin was a girl he could hear from the voice and also from feeling the face before. "Oh... Don't worry, I'm fine... Can you get off me?" Umin blinked and got up quickly, helping Alice up. "Sorry, uhm... sorry..."
Umin suddenly heard a voice nearby, which sounded more like... groaning. "Oh no... That's not Umin is it?" Umin blinked and looked around. "U... min?" He looked confused at the two eyes he could see. They were green and looked a little strange.

A blonde head with a red headband stuck with feathers in in, two pairs of azure eyes, and a odd costume over a fairly slim yet muscular body to match with the headband came out of a portal in the darkness together on the same lone person. On this end of the spectrum, opening a portal on this side made the portal look like that of pure light within the shadows.The blinding light from the Realm of Light itself shone brightly and illuminated through the darkness, like a sudden new moon in the night sky, not enough to illuminate the entire darkness before it disappeared again.
Keldric hurried through, aware of the toll that the darkness would take on his heart as he moved to the next world. Oddly enough, as he walked he saw not Heartless here, but people in bright clothing, illuminating the darkness with their simple presence. He saw a civilian man who was looking perculiarly around, a small girl in a sky-blue dress and petticoat who had fallen onto the 'ground' or the hroizon here in the floor of the Corridors to Darkness, and... Kadaj. Green eyes, silver hair, and nasty-looking expression. He recognized him without a doubt.
"Hello, Kadaj. What brings you here to the Corridors to Darkness?" He called out to the Remnant, as casually as if he was meeting up with an old friend on a street corner, except it was exceptionally dark and he figured Kadaj might be up to something... involving this small girl and the man who he now sensed had the presence of darkness within him simular to that of a Nobody.
Then, why couldn't he sense any darkness at all from the heart of this girl? It seemed... clean of any darkness. Just like... Cinderella.
Could this be the reason Kadaj was here?
"Hey there, need a hand?" he called out to the girl, and helped pick her up off the ground onto her feet, extending a hand to both help her up more and then to shake in friendship. "Hi, I'm Keldric. But you can call me Keldy." he smiled to Umin, and then looked back at Alice. "What are your names?"

The boy got off her and tried to help her get up as two eyes appeared. Another voice spoke up and from the eyes, Alice thought this man could see through the darkness. She was curious on how to be able to look through the dark as well.
Suddenly the dark got more illuminated and it gotten more light in the darkness. Alice blinked and another boy appeared. He spoke to the man with the brightly glowing eyes and seemed to greet him as a friend.
Suddenly the boy came to Alice and helped her to get fully on her feet. And told her his name, while asking for theirs.
Alice looked over the people. The boy that tripped and fell on her had white hair which covered his eyes fully. He wore the robes of a priest, no wonder he apologised so much. The man with the glowing eyes had silver hair that hung even in his face, his eyes looked a little strange, but Alice expected it had to do with seeing through the dark. He wore black leather suit. The boy that last came in had blond hair and a hairband with feathers, which looked pretty. He had blue eyes and wore some interesting clothing.
Alice blinked. "I'm Alice, this is... Umin? And you two are... Kadaj? And Keldric." She tried to memorise the names and the looks.

Kadaj watched as Umin, the priest boy and Alice, the girl in blue, both got back to there feet and dust themselves off. It was curious how both Keldric and the girl in blue were able to see him so clearly, especially since he was dressed in black leather... Oh but then again, his hair was a bright silver/platinum and his eyes did glow with the power of Mako. Besides, Keldric was a Keybarer so he'd be able to sense the darkness within Kadaj's heart quite easily it would seem.
Kadaj looked at Keldric when the young lad spoke out his name and the Remnant merely glared right back, clenching his fists slightly before folding his arms across his chest, not answering the boy back with words, but just continued to give him that cold glare he gave everyone. The darkness within the heart of Keldric felt subtle and dormant most of the time. Thanks to Maleficent back in Hollow Bastion, she taught the Remnant much about the darkness and now it was up to Kadaj to tune these powers and learn to adapt them, to modify them somehow. It was going to take a while to manage this without totally loosing his heart and mind to the Heartless.
Thats why he came here, to the Corridors of Darkness. No Heartless were in this place so the young Remnant would be able to train and practice in peace... Or so were his plans until he discovered these other people here. Priest Boy, Alice and Keldy.
"....." The Remnant stared at the three of them for a while, not saying anything but instead waiting to see what would happen.

Suddenly another voice and Umin looked even more confused around. "Hello, Kadaj. What brings you here to the Corridors to Darkness?" He looked around for this voice and suddenly felt someone helping him pick up Alice from the ground. "Hey there, need a hand?" Umin blinked confused as he could hear them shaking hands. "Hi, I'm Keldric. But you can call me Keldy. What are your names?" Umin blinked and before he could open his mouth the girl answered. "I'm Alice, this is... Umin? And you two are... Kadaj? And Keldric."
Umin blinked confused, but still couldn't see anything but two eyes around him. And those two eyes were just staring coldly at them without saying a word again. "Uhm..." He didn't knew what to say now.

The keybearer nodded his head, which was pretty useless in the dark, so instead he answered, "Yep, that's right. Nice to meet you Alice." he beamed a smile, shaking her hand firmly yet tenderly, and respectfully turned her hand over to give a quick peck to the back of her hand before he let go and stepped back.
He looked at Kadaj, who gave him the same, cold stare he always did. Keldric was used to it by now, but he couldn't helpbut shake the feeling the young man was making plans involving him and his double-bladed sword.
"So, what's your name?" he asked in interest to the man with white hair and priest clothes, before turning to everyone and asking, "What are you doing here? Going to another world?"

Alice looked curiously through the darkness around her at the three men that had appeared out of nowhere as if they were invited by the Mad Hatter on a teaparty. The priest looked very confused. The dark clothed man didn't look like a nice man right now. The blond boy looked quite cheerfully. Alice was quite surprised at what the darkness had brought to her.
"Kadaj called him Umin, so I think he's Umin," Alice pointed at the white-haired boy, "he seems to be kind of confused by all this." She looked from the white-haired boy to the blond-haired boy. Both had a bright colored head, then she turned to Kadaj, they all had bright colors up there. Couldn't this man stop staring so cold and look as cheerful as his hair?
Alice turned to Keldric again. "I got lost in the forest and it got darker and darker and I have never ever seen it get this dark. Is this some special place?" Alice blinked and wondered what Keldric meant with going to another world. Did Wonderland had some road through the darkness that finally lead out on some new world? Alice beamed of curiosity.

((my apologizes for such a long time replying T~T))
Kadaj watched the three of them greet each other and exchange names, as well as shake hands and share smiles. Kadaj however, wasn't particually interested in making any new friends so he just continued to stand his ground a short distance away from the other three and kept his arms folded across his chest and his Mako imbued, turquoise eyes locked onto the small party.
However, the thing that was most interesting Kadaj right now, was the young girl in the light blue dress and blonde hair. Her heart, to be more exact. It felt so pure and perfect that it felt like her heart alone was enough to light up the Corridors of Darkness like a thousand candles.
It made the Remnant angry and frustrated even more then usual. His eyes narrowed till they were almost squinting and his eyebrows were angled down in a furious and evil glare. The one time the Remnant wanted to be alone and get in some practice for using his new found powers from Maleficent, these three fools show up and ruin everything. It's been the third time now that Kadaj and Keldric have crossed paths and every time this has happened, the Remnant has felt the young boys heart get more involved within the Light each time. Unlike his own that is, yet it was nothing compared to the heart of Alice.
That's when it clicked and his thoughts went back to when he was inside the Great Hall of Hollow Bastion with the black wearing witch, Maleficent. "...those with the purest of hearts are the Princesses of Heart..." Kadaj lifted up a gloved hand and rubbed at his chin for a second as he locked his eyes onto Alice and began to try and figure out what made her heart so pure, yet at the same time, doing his best to not reveal this to Keldric, as the little brat will surely try and do something heroic if he found out... but then again, maybe Kadaj should let the little fool try something. After all, they're in the Corridors of Darkness. This is Kadaj's world now and easily had the most advantage in being here.

Umin started to get totally lost in confusion and nearly fell down unconsciousness because of all the confusion. His mind was winded like insane and Umin would collapse any second now. The name-part with Alice and Keldric discussing his name was a little much for him.

"Okay, thanks Alice." Keldric nodded, and glanced at Umin. "Nice to meet you, Umin."
Keldric was already aware of the nature of Alice's pure heart, and suspected that it was the reason Kadaj was here. But there was also another reason why he didn't want her here, and attempted to explain it all to her quickly. "Sorry you got lost, but this is the Corridors to Darkness. This place is the darkness in the heart of your world... and it's dangerous you found yourself here. If someone like you who stays in the Light stays here for too long, the Darkness with begin to stain your heart... I've felt it. And eventually, it will take your heart." He didn't mention that Alice could be turned into a Heartless... considering Heartless were born out of the darkness in people's hearts.
"So Alice, if you would allow me," he smiled, holding out an arm for her to hook with her own, in a gentlemanly fashion, "...I will escort you, and Umin, back home. Or at least, a safer place such as this. The Heartless might appear at any second, they can use these corridors to travel to other worlds..." he contemplated, waiting on Alice, his eyes looking over at Kadaj finally.
"Sorry if these two were disturbing you, Kadaj. We'll be leaving now. See you around." he told him, too impatent to wait for Alice and Umin, and hooked his arms with both of theirs as he quickly started opening a portal to another world...
(OOC: At the end of this thread, Alice, Umin and Keldy are going to a thread with the current active Princesses of Heart. If Kadaj wants to stop us, or follow us, is up to you Kaddy. *grins*)

Alice blinked to the confused guy. "Are you alright?" She looked to Keldric who nodded to her and thanked her. Then telling Umin that it was nice to meet him. Alice now started to wonder if this man, Kadaj, really knew Umin's name? Or only thought it was Umin and this boy appeared to be someone else. She shrugged for a moment and noticed Keldric turning to her again.
"So Alice, if you would allow me, I will escort you, and Umin, back home. Or at least, a safer place such as this. The Heartless might appear at any second, they can use these corridors to travel to other worlds..." Alice blinked. "These Heartless again? Can't they stay away for once?" But instead of being scared, she was curious on how the Heartless kept coming and going. She wondered if there was a center for all these creatures.
Alice looked at Keldric, but he already turned to Kadaj, telling him they were leaving. I hadn't agreed yet! Alice blinked surprised. "How do you know where we live?" And Alice wanted to walk further and find out more. She smiled to Keldric, but his arm hooked with hers and a portal opened again.
