Something fishy's going on around here...

Who: Ren and Roxas
What: Time to compare notes on what they've dug up on some of the latest world issues.
Where: Atlantica
Status: In progress.

It had been a few days since Seph had dropped Ren off on Atlantica's surface, and so far, the most she had to show for it was a bad case of food poisoning. She had been severely tempted to just forget about her meeting with Roxas and just spend the day curled up in bed, cursing whatever agent of Darkness had caused this mess.

In the end, Refugee-grade stubbornness won out, so Ren staggered out to the designated meeting spot, albeit a little later than she had originally planned. Hopefully, Roxas would have found more pieces to the puzzle by now than she had.

"Very little. Whatever it is, it seems to have a lot to do with darkness and that it started not long before I got here. The Keyhole seems to be fine, but I'm thinking of keeping an eye on it. Whatever's causing this might still go for it."

He could say that, but he wasn't sure of his ability to protect the Keyhole or to stop whatever was causing all this. Besides being alone at the moment, he was sick and getting worse. He'd been lucky so far with Heartless battles, but against something of a boss level...

Maybe he'd call for reinforcements once he was sure of what it was they were looking for. No sense in anyone else being exposed this darkness or poison or whatever the hell it was for too long.

Ren nodded as she sat down and made herself comfortable. "Yeah, that sounds about right," she agreed. "The general consensus is that there's some kind of darkness-based poison in the water."

She sighed and glanced over Roxas' shoulder at the water behind him. It still looked harmless enough at first glance, but to think that it was being used to doom an entire world's population to a slow death... "This is the siege of Doma all over again," she muttered softly.

"Good thinking on watching out for the Keyhole, Roxas," Ren said, trying to find something positive to cling to. "I think I'm gonna post on the comm and ask the others if they have any ideas on how to clean up this mess. Maybe we'll be able to figure something out before more people have to die."

"Doma? Never mind. I'll look that up another time," he replied, "And, I figured I should check the Keyhole, since it's usually a target when a problem on a world is related to darkness." Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be part of it this time, but there was no justifiable reason to leave it unguarded either.

In the meantime, he supposed he could poke around a little more. He hadn't been talking to people much because they'd been taking a leaf out of their king's book and not trusting him much. With any luck, between that and Ren's message to the others, they might have a lead.

"Long story short, this complete maniac decides that it's taking too long to defeat this castle stronghold, so he poisons its water supply, killing everyone inside, including some of his own men," Ren explained, suppressing a shudder. Kefka as one of their enemies, now there was a scary thought.

"I'll go get on that message, though," she said as she got up. "Call me if anything comes up."
