001; [video]

[keychained]

[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.

Beats me. He was here when I got here, and he seemed nice enough, so I fed him.

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

Same thing with my alligator. Minus the feeding.

Is it friendly?

[he crouches down near the Totodile, and offers his fist so she can sniff at it, if she wants.]

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

Seems like it, at least.

[........She just fistbumped you, Sora.]

[... that makes Sora grin like an idiot, and open his hand for a high five. now he wants to see if he can teach Puddles something similar.]

That's awesome!

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

[Puddles has hooves, Sora. Demyx will just watch as Forza reaches for a high five.]

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[noooo, don't shatter his hopes and dreams-- he'll teach Puddles how to do something cool! high five delivered, Forza; Sora stands up straight, looking amused as all get out.]

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

[Forza is happy to entertain the kid, if it's that easy! And Demyx looks kind of amused at how easily Sora is amused.]

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

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

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

[action]

[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.

[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!

[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.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Huh? You can teleport?

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

Not quite.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[yeah, Sora's got nothing.]

Hyperspace?

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

...still not it.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Can I have a hint?

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

Nope! Maybe I'll tell you one day.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Aw, come on! Please?

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

Why should I?

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Because! I want to know.

[Sora, you're going to have to come up with a better argument than that.]

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

Lemme know when you think of a better reason, and maybe I'll tell ya~.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... Is it something I could learn how to do?

[action]

[aquatic-sitar.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[...Well, if you wanted to be technical, yes. But he didn't think telling Sora "sure, if you lose your heart" was a good idea.]

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Where'd you learn how?
