This is kind of nostalgic...

[Naminé's face appears on the screen, her expression unreadable for a moment. For those who might know her, Naminé looks very different. She's older and leaner, one eye hazed over from blindness. She has a black collar around her neck as well, barely hiding scars across her throat.

For those who don't know her, she looks like she might have come from a war zone, so outfitted with weapons she is-- there's a strange blade hanging from a harness at her hips, a quiver strapped to her back, and a compound bow slung over her shoulder.]

Hello, Hinoto-Ri. My name is Naminé. Sorry I wasn't around to say hello for when all the other newcomers were coming in, but I had to get some...well, affairs in order.

[She pauses a moment before her lips curve into a small smile.]

According to the network, it's almost Christmas, so if anyone needs a last minute gift for a loved one, please feel free to ask for me. I'm an artist. Any commission from me, large or small, is free for the holiday season. After that, I'll have to start charging so I can keep my apartment. [A huff of laughter.]

If anyone else is interested in a little sparring, I'm up for that too. I'll be in Capricorn.

[Private to all KH Casts]

[She breathes out slowly, her eyes searching. Conflicted.]

...hi. I know you're here. Can we talk? Please? I want to see you all.

My gosh, this network is so much nicer than the one on the 'berries.

[She laughs, tapping at her wrist watch.]

And the thing that goes behind our ears is too cool!

[It takes Xion a moment to reply. This isn't the first time she's encountered different timelines, or something... unexpected from new arrivals from her world. But this by far is one the biggest and most startling.]

I'm here.

[But would Naminé remember her? Riku hadn't...]

The apartments we first get are free, at least, though we still need to pay for food and anything else we need. A bunch of us are trying to get a bigger apartment we can all stay in together, though.

[This is her sort of awkward way of saying you'd be welcome too.]

It's nice to meet you, Namine...

[The greeting is somewhat less overtly enthusiastic than Nano would normally offer. She's busy wondering how this girl got so many scars and injuries, and it's worrisome to her, but she's ultimately too polite to ask about any of them.]

My name is Nano Shinonome.

[Why so conflicted? ...It takes Aqua a moment to reply on account of WTF ARE MY FRIENDS DOING? but soon enough, she does reply... with a little snow still in her hair.]

Naminé...? [Blink...blink...] Of course we can talk.

And I don't think you have to worry about money for the apartment; just anything you'd like to add to it. Unless you'd like to join a few of us in saving for a place we can all stay together.

[Indeed, she looks very different to how he remembers seeing her last, in the Castle That Never Was (it seems like it was a lifetime ago). Just like Kairi had.

He has no idea what happened in their timeline, or if they had ended up visiting a different place, like he had... but it doesn't matter anyways. Naminé is Naminé, regardless of circumstances.]

Hey. Welcome to Hinoto-Ri.

[`I hope, you are all right. I'm glad to see you.`]
