*Roxie's image blurs as she dashes across the roof, picking up each tool before it lands, her Star Cutter glinting in the sunset.*

"Are you trying to replace the lenses on those fancy glasses?" *She sets down the tools, dark smoke trailing off of her clothes.*
Mary
*Yumi "Watched" As Roxie got her tools. She saw nothing, but hey, Roxie grabbed them. She grabbed the tools and put them down.*

"Thanks. I went to the store and bought these 'Moogle glasses'. They apparently connect to your gummi phone and put of AR display. It reminded me of something we had at my home. 'Duel Gazers'. They let you see Augmented Reality duels which could take place anywhere. It was useful for areas without a good connection to the satellites, and more affordable. Although... There are severe flaws with these things. And the software is... Off. I may need a different brand of these things, or find someone who can help me learn how to edit the software..."
Devin
*Roxie's eyes sparkle.* "Let's go on an adventure! I can take you to the guy who made the first prototype! Mogcorp ripped him off; it's kind of a big story in Traverse Town."

"Oh, and those are unusable now that you broke the lenses. Something something magic fluid. It's okay, though! Cid'll help you make new ones!"
Mary
"Wait what?! But aren't they... Why magic?! How would that even help..."

*Yumi was a bit annoyed about that, but she did wanna still get her duel gazer to work.*

"I remember you mentioned Traverse Town before for a job... I also remember you saying to get lost in a dark void until you appear at it..."
Devin
*Roxie smiles mischievously.* "I have a shortcut~!" *She pulls two Black Coats out of Hammerspace, then tosses one at Yumi.* "You gotta put this on, though. You'll get sick otherwise."

"Also, I don't think the magic crystal fluid is actually magic. I just said that because sufficiently advanced technology's silly."
Mary
"Oh... Well that makes more sense."

*Yumi says, looking at the black coat.*

"Wait what do you mean get sick? What kind of shortcut is this? And why does a black leather coat help with it?"
Devin
*Roxie opens a dark corridor several places away from Yumi.* "It's a portal!"

*She begins putting on her Black Coat.* "Specifically, a Dark Corridor. Heartless use 'em all the time, but without a special coat like the one I gave you, we can't use them without getting sick. I mean, I've used them a few times, and they were pretty fun, but one of my clients told me I'll die if I keep using them without protection."

"Don't worry! It's perfectly safe with the right equipment!" *Were those words coming out of anyone else's mouth, they might be reassuring.*
Mary
*Yumi would stare at the dark corridor, looking into the vast nothingness of darkness. It terrified her. She backed away from it a bit.*

"N-no I... That seems a little too dangerous, Roxie. I'm unsure if I can."
Devin
*Roxie looks into her friends eyes, then dismisses the Dark Corridor with a concerned look.*

"The long way is taking a three-hour road trip through Gummi Space together, which can *Also* Be fun!" *Her smile doesn't return.*

*Darkness has an easier grip on scaredy cats. Hesitate once, and it'll take over. The only way for it to not be a threat is to control it with a smile on your face.*

*This could be a problem.*
Mary
"Do you have a ship for that?"

*She breathed a sigh of relief seeing the darkness go away. But she still held onto the coat.*

"I'm... Sorry, Roxie. I can't just go in. What if something goes wrong? What if I have issues in the darkness? What even is the darkness..? Can we even trust using it?"
Devin
"Yup. Say the word, and we'll be on our way."

"Also, I've decided: I'm gonna train you. As long as you're scared of it, the darkness will have an better grip on you. We *Gotta* Do something about that!"
Mary
"How can you use darkness so... Easily? Aren't you scared of losing control and... Hurting people? What about yourself? Is it painful?"

*Yumi began spouting a bunch of questions about darkness to Roxie.*
