Sure I did - I told you, it's our job, me and my friends. We go around the worlds and help people that need it with problems they shouldn't be having. [He shrugs a little, not smiling now because trying to reassure her at this point is fairly useless. She can't go home, which is the one thing she wants more than anything. He can't do anything to get her home. But he can at least make things not as terrible for her while they work on it.] I'd say this falls under that category. Come on, come sit down and I'll show you what I'm thinking of.
[The steps up to the Tower are actually fairly comfortable, at least for sitting, wide and not too steep. Ven had sat there with Aqua weeks before, looking at the sky through their Wayfinders and planning their reunion with Terra - it's a good memory, and maybe that's why he goes there. But he digs his Gummiphone out of his pocket as he settles down, legs outstretched in front of him as he unlocks it and starts to pull up the camera feature.] You're going to need somewhere to sleep, and food, clothing, that kind of thing. Master Yen Sid might be okay with you staying here for one night, but he likes his privacy, and there's not much here so you'd probably get bored. There was a town that was just for people who'd lost their worlds, but it's- [He abruptly pauses and looks weirdly poleaxed for a second, trying to find the right word to describe it, before hesitantly offering-] ...gone? Sort of? Halfway not... existing anymore? In any case, we can't get to it through any kind of waking travel now. But there's other worlds you can go to, so you can look at some pictures and decide which one you like.
[If asked, Ven would say he's not a heavy user of the Gummiphone. Ven would be lying. In terms of video calls and texting, he does use it less than several of the others (including, surprisingly, Terra), but he apparently gets his jollies with using the camera to take photographs. There's already mid-triple digits in his storage and he should probably clean some out, like, now, but they'll be useful in showing Rise possible locations for her to stay.]
You're going to need to stay where people are used to off-worlders, so that kind of limits it because of the world order, but it's still a good handful of places. Twilight Town might be the best, and you'd have the most of us around if something happens. Radiant Garden's also really nice, but none of us live there. We have friends there, though, and they could help you until we get there. Or you could go to Disney Town, that'd probably be fun. You could go home with me to the Land of Departure, Terra and Aqua already said yes, but it's pretty quiet there.
[As he speaks, Ven's shuffling through his photo storage to show her various shots of the places he's talking about. Several of the pictures are from incredibly high up, which considering he was flying a glider when they met might not surprise her, but most of them are taken from normal heights, showing the buildings and the people of the towns he's mentioning. Some are candid location photos, some shots of a person or a group of people grinning or making stupid faces at the camera, and there are a few selfies in there with other people, though it's a surprisingly small number. But what they do achieve is showing at least some of the life and character (and residents) of the places he's mentioning so casually, sunsets and trams and cobblestone streets and castles and fairgrounds. It's a bit of a dizzying array, but at least she has options.]
And I'd say the Islands would be perfect, but... right now, probably not.
