Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse Redux [No Longer Full]

I know that this is an odd thing to suddenly worry about, but can I assume everyone speaks and understands English (including people in future worlds)? Or will language become a thing later on?

Sorry for taking so long.

My parents are currently in town for their vacation, so I can't exactly guarantee my availability in the morning and afternoon until after the 24th, since I'm expecting us to be out of the house a lot. I will be available at night however, so I should be able to keep pace with the one post every few days or so. Although if I do slow down a bit, then there's my reasoning.

"T-Watch..." Digitize? Mainframe? These were terminologies that seemed otherworldly for Mai. Thankfully, Drake used simpler words to explain it to her. She wishes to ask more about it, but he pushed the topic onto something else. She decided to pester him about it later on when they get back from France.

Once they were back at the Gummi Ship, she let everyone else talk about their own worlds first before she spoke up. Mac and Cheese's world sounded so cool to her. She remembered her mother reading some bed time stories to her as a child, most of them usually included fairies and other mythical creatures. Even just seeing Cheese was an honor for her. As she was listening to them, she was picking up whatever biscuits Mac was trying to throw across the table in order to keep it nice and tidy. Once he stopped, she unconsciously started eating them one by one as she listened.

The girl wanted to console Seth from having hazy memory, but somehow she could tell that maybe he doesn't want to talk about it just yet. Cheese's description of it earlier worried her. Although she didn't notice them return immediately from wherever they went, she at the very least overheard Cheese's description of Seth's memory before Drake brought up the topic of everyone's worlds.

"Um, from what I understand, my Earth is very similar to the original Earth." The girl takes a seat at the farther side of the room so that she can see everybody else clearly. Crossing her legs before crossing her arms to get herself into her thinking pose. "The major difference is that the Heartless and Nobodies suddenly started appearing in my country just several years after a major war ended while we were still recovering." A pause before she continues. "Since my fellow countrymen banned themselves from modern weaponry, we defended ourselves using swords."

She wondered what Rick's world was like. Their time together was short, but she wanted to learn a bit more about him before he left. Maybe in the future.

"What about you, Drake?"

The newcomer aimed his weapons toward her, quickly noticing that they were handguns, Mai immediately took on a defensive stance. However, it was clear to her that he only did that in response to her swinging her own weapon at him, and that it was defensive in nature. While she didn't let her guard down yet, him storing them back into their holsters signaled to her that he wasn't here to fight her, or anyone here at least. Hakim leaving was what did make her calm down. With the current danger seemingly out of the way, the girl lets her Keyblade dissipate.

She didn't know what to make of the new guy. He certainly seemed cocky. His watch however, intrigued her. Seeing weapons come out of nowhere surprised her, and she quickly took a hold of his hand which held the watch and was examining the item after he put the weapons away. "H-how did you do that!?", she says as she was lifting his arm up and down as she tried to understand how it worked while completely ignoring the fact that Seth and Cheese had just arrived. Her eyes were sparkling with curiosity.

"Know nothing? As if you even know about our own stories and hardships."

Mai was getting tense. Annoyance? Anger? She wasn't sure. But one thing was sure. She didn't like Hakim, not one bit.

Before she could take a step towards him, another person suddenly appears about a few steps away from the girl. In her surprise, her reflexes cause her to swing her Keyblade at the general area the person appeared in, just stopping about an inch or two away from him when she realizes the non-hostility in his being.

"Another one? Is he here as Hakim's ally?"

While she didn't sense hostility from him, he certainly wasn't harmless. The new guy had a few weapons latched onto his back that looked foreign to her. "Dangerous," was the one word that came to her mind.

Sorry, my post should have been up this morning (or, I guess yesterday morning in my timezone). However, my internet wasn't cooperating so I didn't have proper access to the site until just now.

"He doesn't have a heart, so Seth needs to die?" Hakim's train of thought baffled Mai. Over the past week, she has seen Seth interact with the rest of the people with them on this mission. She has seen him laugh, and even now, she could faintly tell his frustration and perhaps anger before he disappeared on them. "Those weren't traits or emotions that one wouldn't have if they didn't have a heart," she thought to herself, as she found herself getting a little angry at Hakim's thought process. Her face slowly twisting in annoyance.

Mai didn't exactly understand the concept of not having a heart even though they already talked about that before they even departed for the mission. If what they meant is being able to emote and such, then Seth should have had that part cleared. Her naivete in the subject was showing.

"If you think someone needs to die just because they don't have a heart, then why does it feel like you don't have one yourself?" The girl's grip on her Keyblade getting a tighter as she spoke out. "Aren't you getting a little full of yourself?", the irritation in her voice becoming more apparent.

The Nobodies weren't around anymore, so Mai found herself in a good position should they engage in battle. Fighting large groups, especially those with long reach, weren't her forte. Although he was wielding a long-range weapon, she could always close the gap and take control of the fight since he's alone. She could tell Hakim held himself with confidence though, perhaps years of battle experience? This wouldn't be an easy battle should it come to it, she knew that much.

All right; so, your post?

@Letter Bee

Should be up by tonight. Currently am with friends celebrating the end of the university term.

Also, who wants Hakim the Wise to be a recurring character?

@Letter Bee

Well, he just got here and I don't really know much about him yet, so I can't really say much. I would like to see a follow up on this encounter though later on.

So sorry for taking so long on my post. My finals are over, so I should have some more free time on my hands to work on this.
