[When the video feed first clicks on, there isn't much in the way of visuals except blackness, interspersed with the occasional flash of dull light. The sounds are much more fascinating than the sights, as it were: something is snuffling at the pokégear, and after a moment there's a series of sharp thunks, as if someone were rapping against the microphone. Something is trying to eat it.]

-- Hey! Knock it off! Look, there's food in the bag if you're hungry..

[The feed swings around wildly as Sora snatches away and tries to wipe the pokégear off on his jumpsuit, then stops abruptly as he turns it over in his hand and stares straight into the camera, his expression bewildered. This thing looks more high-tech than the lifts in Hollow Bastion.]

Okay, I'm.. not really sure what I was expecting, but the everlasting Darkness is weird.

[it's hard not to smile when Aerith does, though he still looks confused.]

Well.. No, not at all. I'd never even heard of a pokémon until about ten minutes ago.

Are you from the future?

[She giggles a bit.] You can say that. I'm a year ahead of you. Can't you tell? [Well, she is wearing a new pretty pink dress now.]

[he's still grinning, turning his attention to Demyx.]

So, where are you headed from here? Or are you gonna stick around?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I don't have anything like that. I have a giraffe, though!

[Video] ffff pick the right icon this time, self

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Azure? What's that?

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

There's only really one way to go, apparently... and not much to do around here. But I'm not big on traveling normally.

[Video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

W-well, of course I can!

[good show, Sora. and hey, he figures if Queen Minnie wouldn't tell him about something important, maybe Aerith will!]

So do I get really tall in a year?

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Really? I don't mind it, but I'm always traveling to look for my friends.

[speaking of, Sora thinks he's on the verge of making a new one, so he sticks his hand out for a handshake.]

I'm Sora, by the way!

[Video]

[radiantxsmile.livejournal.com]

[She has a feeling he hasn't even noticed.]

That's right! You grow a few inches taller from the last time I saw you at Hallow Bastion.

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

Demyx.

[...Well, might as well. He'll shake Sora's hand.]

I'm used to being able to go from one place to another without doing much traveling.

[Sora laughing makes Wilbur smirk. Thank you, thank you! He'll be here...until his mom drags him home.]

You should. You'll be awed and amazed at it's...awesomeness! Might even take you on a ride in the time machine, too.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Uh, Raticate, Butterfree, Beedrill, and Slowpoke. I've been here a while, so I've been training them.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... Roxas, we should have a battle!

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I like that idea. I want to jump ahead five years to see how tall I'll get.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Huh? You can teleport?

[Video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[Aerith ought to give Sora a basic lesson on girls at some point in time.]

Really? Yes! Am I taller than Riku?

[video]

[notatimecop.livejournal.com]

Huh, never thought about doing that before. I might have to try it when I get home.

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

Not quite.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[yeah, Sora's got nothing.]

Hyperspace?

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I just want to see if I'm taller than Riku!

Well, if you do get home, I'll see if I can figure out how to get to Earth on the Gummi Ship. You'll show me around, right?

[video]

[notatimecop.livejournal.com]

How tall is this...Riku?

Of course I will. [He loves showing off his father's stuff.] My family will probably love you too.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Uh, well..

[Sora lifts his hand and raises it to about an inch or so higher than the tallest tuft of his hair. lose the spikes, and Riku's looking at a good couple of inches taller than him.]

Okay! And if you ever get a chance to visit Destiny Islands.. Well, there aren't any time machines, but the beaches and the fishing are great.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Perhaps when you get here. You better make sure you're strong.

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Kind of. Drifloon here just started following me around one day.

And sure, we can battle if you want! I'm over in Violet though, so it might be a while.

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

I don't think mine would fit in Fanny's mouth... [She offers it to her Phanpy experimentally, but he just examines it with the end of his trunk for a minute.]

But if it'll help find Mystic Maya and Mr. Nick... And your friends, too! Then we should keep them. [Decisively, she takes it back from Fanny to... idek, prevent further trunking?]
