Emperor Michael was engrossed in thought about Zarxe, the Organization XIII emissary that had arrived some few days ago. Was it really a good thing that the Org. were sending a presumed olive branch? After all, they might not be - no, best not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Zarxe might yet prove to be of aid in this quest and would be treated as an ally as long as it passed. That said, Tocsax was even more suspicious than he was, while at the same time happy to meet a fellow Nobody.

The Nobody Keyblader in question would then answer Seth Rush, "Let me explain. First up, while we are humans, this is a different world entirely, one where the technological advancements that led to the development of Faunus have not yet occurred. Therefore, we are able to view the events of your parallel universe in a more...objective light." He pursed his lips. "And by that, we don't hate you and no one here hates you for having Animal Traits." A look at Liliana as she petted Seth's cat ears. "Stop that! You'll overload me with cuteness!"

Maria di Italia, meanwhile, would be answering Lukaz, taking care to adhere to court protocol and proper etiquette between Empress Regnant and Aristocrat.

In a warm and elegant tone, she would introduce herself. "Greetings to you, Ser Schmidt, Deputy of the Rio Grande Settlements and son of [i]Edler[/i] Lukaz Schmidt von Aachen, of Germany. I am Basilissa Maria di Italia, Queen Regnant of Italy - which was formed by Naples in this world - wife of the Basileus of the Basilea ton Rhomanion Michael XIII Sideros. In this world, our kingdoms are in Personal Union, and members of the Mediterranean League with the Sultans of Timurid Egypt and the Marinid Sultanate of North Africa and Granada. And as for your weapon, the Keyblade is the only armament that can kill off a Heartless without allowing it to regenerate elsewhere."

And with that, the young eighteen-year-old in a Wizard's outfit spoke, "Can't you guys explain to them the concept of a Multiverse and multiple universes or timelines to them first?! You can tell from their faces that they think we are mad, and that is an outrage which cannot be borne!"

This finally drew the Emperor's attention to his Court Wizard/Scholar. "Damianos," he spoke, "If you wish to use the Exposition Spell, you are free to do so right now." 

He then turned to his newest guests, Ziton and Baqar. "One of you two has the ability to tell lies from truth, right? If so, you will be needed for this."

Another look at Tocsax. "Don't break protocol, now. Even though, yes, the scene [i]is[/i] adorable." A smile.

Damianos sighed and lifted up a small wand with a golden image of a double-headed-eagle at its tip. The wand would glow, and the middle of the room would be filled with a holographic projection of multiple spheres, each showing scenes from the group's worlds, as well as universes/timelines that had not yet been explored. "Basically, we all live in the Multiverse, a collection of parallel worlds sprang off from the One Earth. There used to be One Earth, One Timeline, One Humanity and One History, but something happened to split it all up. Now, however, someone wants to reshape the Multiverse to his own image, and has unleashed the Heartless on most worlds as part of said plan for reshaping."

"And as the Basilissa said," the Wizard/Scholar continued, "The Keyblade is a special weapon that can destroy Heartless permanently instead of temporarily. And it is central for our plans to end the Heartless threat and the threat beyond said threat, the threat of Leo, the Second Mathematician."
