[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.

That's okay! As soon as I figure out which direction that's in, I'll start running.

[the feeling is definitely mutual; that huge grin is permanently plastered on his face now.]

Kairi, there's so much I wanna tell you! The past few months have been crazy.

Okay! I'll meet you in the middle.

They've been pretty crazy here, too.

Okay! Is Riku there with you? We can go traveling together, just like we'd always meant to!

[Kairi might notice the scenery behind Sora whizzing by, as well as the distant call, "'fig!!" somewhere behind him- yeah, Sora's eager to get going right this instant.]

Yeah, we've both been hanging around in Violet since you- We'll go together! It shouldn't take too long, really,

Since what?

[he doesn't dwell long on the question, though, because he's talking at about the same pace he's running- which means he's going to tire himself out in a few minutes.]

What other places do you want to go to? Where have you been so far? -- Hey, you know what, Kairi? The other day I was on a pirate ship, and I flew!

Re: video.

Really? Are you sure maybe you weren't just falling?

video.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

No, I wasn't! There was this crocodile, and then I almost had to walk the plank, but at the last minute I flew and beat the snot out of the pirates! I wish you could have seen, Kairi, it was--

[he stops, and bends over to catch his breath. Kairi is getting a nice view of the grass.]

Forget to breathe? I can't wait to see you again, Sora. Then you can tell me your stories in person, and I'll even tell you some of mine.

[the camera on the pokégear may be a small one, but when he finally turns it back to himself, it does a fantastic job of catching the pink in his cheeks. maybe he's just tuckered out from running.]

I can't wait, either! I've got a million stories.

[destinyfruit.livejournal.com]

Just don't forget any in the mean time!

We'll meet up as soon as we can, but these things sort of work like phones, so we can keep in touch until then.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I won't forget! I'll even write everything down, just to make extra sure.

[pats his person frantically, er.. yeah, Sora's a little lacking in the paper and pen department. he'll have to get on that.]

Hey, do you want to meet Puddles, Kairi?

video.

[destinyfruit.livejournal.com]

Oh?

Yeah, I'd love to.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

C'mere, Puddles!

[the video swerves and stops on a Girafarig nearby- he trots over, Sora's bag slung around his neck by the strap casually, and sniffs at the pokégear. nope, already determined this isn't edible. Puddles backs away slightly and lets out a "'farig!" in greeting.]
