Would you be ok with starting it off?

@IAmTheIsland

Oh, sure, I can in a bit. I wasn't really expecting to do it so soon, but I don't have a problem with it lol

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

I figure Hoshi' CoM arc is going to be more about her being pursued by the hooded guy that threw her through the dark corridor to Traverse Town. By then I'll be starting to flesh his story out more.

EDIT: @Daxam when do you want to address the black coat with Hoshi? We can probably roll that into a collab with @Bacon.

@IAmTheIsland

That sounds good to me. I've been trying to figure out how to work it in and that sounds perfect

My Hider

He'll start in the basement but will be going up and eventually cross paths with the group. Whether they remember each other by the time they meet is left to be seen. Anyone who has a Nobody out there will end up remaining in the memory pods during 365/2 Days. So far I believe it's just Alias and Morgan. But I know other players have Nobody/Organization XIII characters as well.

Ah, right. Got it flip-flopped

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Zac stood up and said, "You guys are right. We're all gonna have to split up if we want the best chance to push back the Heartless. Having more than one Keyblade going to a world doesn't make much sense, if we can avoid it, since only one needs to actually lock the Keyhole. But, like Levi said, it'd be suicide to send you newbies off on your own. You guys already met them, but over in the next room with Leon and Yuffie are some emissaries from the King who'll be going with some of you and in the other room are Hoshi's new friends. Whoever those six go with, they'll have your backs. We just gotta decide who's going with who. As for me..."

Crossing his arms, he continued, "Like I said, sending more than one Keyblade to a world isn't really efficient and I still have my own things I gotta do. I've been doing this for a while, so I'll be fine on my own, anyway. That said, your companions should all have Gummi ships like mine or else you're all due for one incredibly short journey. I'll exchange contact info with each of them so if you guys need a mechanic or an extra set of hands to knock heads together, I'll be a short call away."

He then looked from Lucian to Hoshi, then to Levi before back again as he added, "As for your goals, other than sealing the Keyholes, you've gotta find this Alias guy, right? There's no reason for both jobs to be separate. If you're meant to find him, all you gotta do is continue on your way and follow your hearts. Finding him will happen naturally over your journey."

That's the only hope that's been driving me all this time, after all.

I don't think we had that discussion but I like the idea of them going in together but Castle Oblivion and Naminé separate as they navigate through it.

Plot Spoiler

Alias will be in Riku's role in the game having been on the other side to close the door of Kingdom Hearts in the first game.

@King Kindred

Hider

You mean he'll be going toward the basement instead of the top of the Castle, right?

Erin grinned as Viktor swore her and Vincent to secrecy. “You got it,” she said. “My lips are sealed, as are Vincent’s. Now, then, speaking of which…” She looped her arm through Vincent’s and added, “I’m gonna borrow the chef for a little while. It’s our first vacation together and I’m gonna get some one-on-one time with him or die trying. We’ll be back in time for dinner!” With that, Erin led Vincent by the arm away from the grills and toward the water line, barely giving him time to realize what was going on.

The couple, hand in hand, wandered down the beach, away from the rest of the group, though they didn’t stray far before settling down in the sand just at the edge of the water. Now that they didn’t have the chaos of cooking to distract them, Erin had noticed just how many scars Vincent had. They riddled his arms and torso in varying sizes and shapes. Some were large and deep, others small shallow. She wasn’t put off by them by any means, but she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for her boyfriend. He was only a couple months younger than she was, yet his scars made her think he had already lived a lifetime. “How’d you get this one?” she asked, pointing to a long, thin scar along Vincent’s left forearm.

He glanced down at it and said, “That one? That fight was from…a year ago, I think? Guy wasn’t anything special, just some punk with a knife. He got a lucky shot and ended up with a broken jaw for his trouble.”

“Why didn’t you use your power? You can make yourself bulletproof, right? And why would they let someone bring a weapon into the ring?”

“I wasn’t supposed to use my powers during fights unless I absolutely had to,” Vincent explained. “Old Man’s words. He was concerned I might go up against someone who could shut down my power or something like that, so he didn’t want me to rely on them too much. That’s why I’ve built my body into the finely tuned weapon you see before you.” He flexed, earning a chuckle from Erin. “As for why they let him bring a knife in, there weren’t many rules, aside from not killing your opponents. They didn’t wanna draw too much attention and dead bodies popping up around town would do just that.”

He leaned back on his hands and added, “Knives and other weapons were easy to deal with, though. It’s the other guys with powers that were the problem.” He started counting on his fingers as he said, “I’ve fought guys who could shoot fire, ice, one dude spat acid, another used his bones as bullets. That one still kinda grosses me out.”

When he turned back to Erin, he saw a thoughtful expression on her face. “What’re you thinking about?” he asked.

Shaking her head, she said, “Nothing, it’s just…While I was living my life, going to school, dealing with my parents, catching my ex cheating on me…you were fighting for your life. We’re the same age, but you’ve been through things I never could’ve imagined.”

Vincent slowly nodded and replied, “I gotcha. It’s not like I lived a normal life.” He grinned and added, “But, it’s not all bad. Losing my parents still hurts, of course. And I would’ve preferred having a roof over my head. But, I wouldn’t have met the Old Man or Roscoe if that hadn’t happened. I wouldn’t have found out how much I like to fight or cook. I wouldn’t have met the team. I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am if it weren’t for all the shit in my life. And I like who I am and where I am. More than that, though…”

He reached out, wrapped an arm around Erin’s waist, and pulled her close as he added with a grin, “Even without all that, meeting you was worth everything I’ve been through.”

At that, Erin snorted as she leaned against Vincent, watching the waves. “Didn’t think my bonehead of a boyfriend was such a smooth talker,” she teased.

“I’ve got my moments,” Vincent replied with a shrug and a smile.

So Zac doing his own journey and communicating with the others via Gummi ships? That works. Does that sound good to you, @Daxam?

@King Kindred

I had that idea, too. He becomes the group's mobile mechanic/pitch hitter for when things get really rough and they need extra firepower

Sounds perfect to me!

One question: Will the group merge into one by the time CoM comes around? I might've missed that discussion topic

Also, Zac when he finds out about Launchpad's "talent" for flight: "If anyone lets him anywhere near Sigrid's controls, I will make sure everyone dies before we crash."

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Honestly, I don't mind one way or the other. Zac's story doesn't truly begin until CoM at the earliest, KH2 at the latest, depending on whether or not we do CoM (and I'm really, really hoping we do because I've got ideas brewing), so there's no pressure for him to go to any world over the other. Right now, his role is guide/mentor/protector/chauffeur, so he's happy going with whoever wants him/needs him the most

<Snipped quote by mattmanganon>

I would defer this decision to the GMs? Given the KH lore, it may be something better left for after the KH1 stretch, and maybe not in that section of the report. If we get to a Dream Drop Distance arc, then I can see it playing out.

EDIT: As for the current report, maybe it goes without stating, but I figure King Mickey will have been the one to have recovered the page currently being kept in Traverse Town.

EDIT EDIT: I'm blanking on what we established as the Traveling Parties.

- Hoshi, Leon, Launchpad (I only remember this one because I'm a party to it. Lol.
- Donald, Goofy, ???
- Daisy, Max, ???

@IAmTheIsland

Zac and Levi are still going to ??? as far as I know lol

How high can we count before a mod gets involved?
