[as with any other resident of Johto, Sora is drawn out of sleep by that giant flash of light and what sounded almost like the earth cracking open-- all things considered? this is entirely possible. so he clambers out of bed-- Bell is the only one of his Pokémon who sleeps out of the ball, so he grabs her along with his 'gear, too. not that he notices his other Pokémon are mysteriously missing-- and practically stumbles out of the inn in Violet to check out what the heck just happened.]

[except he's not in Violet. he's in Goldenrod.]

What the--

[so Sora's now standing in the middle of the street, barefoot and in his pajamas-- they're blue with little Totodiles. don't judge-- and holding one little Togepi in his arms. looks like it's just the two of them for now.]

[after a few minutes of stunned silence, Sora finally thinks to turn on the video feed.]

Hey! Is everybody okay?

Huh-- wh--

[each time he stumbles over his words represents his thought process jumping from "oh boy free spider!" to "wait what, no spider? what trouble?" and finally to:]

Hey! I'm not a dud!

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

Aw, did I confuse you?

[Audio]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

No. You're just trying to confuse me on purpose.

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

On purpose? As if. Why would I do something like that?

[Audio]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Call it a hunch.

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

A hunch? I take the dud comment back. You're more clever than I thought, kiddo.

[Audio]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[HE IS NOT A KID RARGGGH SORA RAGE.]

Who are you anyway?

[Audio + video]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

You know Roxas, you've got some real memory problems.

[Let's turn on the camera and get a shot of his face, not that he expects Sora to recognize him.]

I mean, I could totally excuse you forgetting the rest of them, but me? I'd be offended, if I could.

[Audio + video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Roxas--

I'm not Roxas. He's around somewhere, though.

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

Is he now? Thanks for the info, kiddo.

[Audio]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Hey! You better leave him alone!

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

Relax. Me and him go way back. I just want to talk to him. See what the kiddo's been up to.

[Audio]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... You go way back? How?

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

Long story. I'm not sure I should tell you.

[Audio]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I've got time.

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

So? Just because you have time doesn't mean I have to tell you all about your buddy Roxas, kiddo.

[Audio]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I think I've got a right to know. My Nobody, right?

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you do know something about this. Guess we can cut out the boring parts then.

[Audio]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I'm listening.

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

Good. I'd be totally heartbroken if I started this long story and you didn't listen.

Now where was I? Oh yeah, you wanted to know about Roxas, right?

[Audio]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Well... Yeah. And what was the organization he was talking about?

[Audio] 1/2

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

Well you see...

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

Can't tell you that, dude. Sorry. Maybe you should try asking him.

[Audio]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Oh come on! Why can't you just tell me?

[Audio]

[shooterdude.livejournal.com]

Because you keep falling for it.

Seriously though, let's just say your buddy Roxas was one heck of a helping hand to our Organization. Definitely couldn't have gotten as far as we did without him and that Keyblade.
