[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?

[Once Rika notices Sora, she runs towards him.] Mii. I'm fine.

... I thought you were with Ven, and that you weren't in Goldenrod yet.

Okay! Okay! Hehehehe! Okay! Okay!

[Hey, over there.

Face down.

Who is that guy?]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I, uh-- I'm glad you're okay?

[susukodama.livejournal.com]

Glad! Glad! Glad! Glad! Hehehehehe!

Hey, neat pyjamas!

[Well hello there, Sora. That is an older you with a Growlithe at his feet.]

[ Her hood is up like a boss. ]

What's the matter, kiddo? It's like you've had a rough night.

[this is Sora looking extremely miffed with his situation-- so much for challenging Falkner in the morning.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[hey, who's that guy over there.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[he looks kinda like...]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

Of course you would want to know that first, Sora.

[Leaning on the wall of the building behind you, it's what he does.]

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. All I know is that there was this really bright light.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[... ... ... ... no way.]

no just five i lied-- done!

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Are you--

[there is now a much shorter version of you standing right next to you to measure how much taller you are, Sora.]

[keythatconnect.livejournal.com]

[Height difference: not that much.]

H-hey, what are you do-

[This face.]

TEACH HIM THE WAYS OF THE POKEMON, PREVIOUS TRAINER SORA-- also 1/2

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They were on sale and they're really comfy so--

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I'm not a ki--

[NOT IMPORTANT, SORA.]

Who are you supposed to be?

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

Hi!

[He's just grinning in that Sora way, and being pretty patient. Obviously this is not a weird situation at all!]

[he jumps about a mile in his Totodile jammies--]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[--but then his whole body tenses, his fists clenched at his sides.]

You!

[you you you-- the source of his nightmares last month. the reason he up and left his job in Violet in a fury, ready to throw punches wherever he could reach. yeah, he'd promised Ven he wouldn't pick a fight, but now that Vanitas is right there and within punching range, there isn't going to be much to stop him. he turns, his center of gravity lowered slightly and his hand outstretched to call his Keyblade instinctively. it won't work, though.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Let's stick together, then. It looks like a bunch of us got separated.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Who are you, exactly?

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

All right. That seems like the best choice for now.
