Science! Technology! Really Wild Things!
Who: A whole posse of ~seekers of truth~...
Where: Radiant Garden
When: Some time post-'KH2'ish/P4Arena
What: SCIENCE. Poking Shadows, Heartless, and all that good stuff...
Warnings: Only for confusing shenanigans.
Slowly but surely, Radiant Garden is returning to normal. Something close to it, at least. Outside, in the city, buildings being restored. In the castle, new recruits taking up the guards' uniform. And in the basements...
It has been a long time since the laboratories had been fully functional. A long time since they'd been put to their old use.
But today, that's changing. Nothing so ... extreme as had once been studied, back in Xehanort's day. Darkness involved, yes, but no need to touch a human heart with it.
Time, today, to study what the human heart had managed to bring forth in two different worlds.
Even's gaze scans slowly over the two cages on the table, where two creatures are being held. The first: it could be at home here. Could even have been born here. A small humanoid creature, pure black, hitting out at its cage and trying to escape into an inky puddle.
A Heartless - a Shadow of the heart.
The other, a larger cage: something that this world had yet to see until now. The creature inside ignores him as he passes, looking more like it's ready to strike out at his gathered colleagues - new and old.
A Shadow of the psyche.
Quietly, he makes notes for a moment, before turning to the rest of the group.
"Very well, then. It would appear to be time for us to begin."

no subject
Naoto's remark, however, gets a further response. "None of us have any meaningful experience with Shadows in the 'real world' past your own. These will be new discoveries for us all..." He pauses for a brief moment. "However, if you wish to closely study a Heartless' attack and generation, you are welcome to any of our data you desire, including my recent recordings." His stored viewpoint on the Investigation Team's only true encounter with Heartless... and of its unfortunate consequences for their unprepared numbers.
"For now, come here - do you believe that you can handle the operation of the scanners, if I instruct you? My attention will ...be elsewhere shortly."
