015; [text/action for goldenrod pokécenter]

[there are a few unusual things about this here transmission: first, Sora's sending out a few text messages. they're... not exactly his first choice for communicating; he prefers being able to see someone's face when he's talking to them. that and he's painfully slow with hunting and pecking on a keyboard. he's got a good reason for going the text route today, though.]

Is everybody okay? I know all kinds of weird stuff's happened, and I want to make sure nobody's hurt.

[-- and unusual thing number two. though Sora is not much of a typist, he does at least try to make his texts grammatically correct. oh screw it, typing with one hand is annoying.]

let me know soon. also if you guys have any empty bottles hang on to them. or give them to me and i'll hold them for you. ive got an idea

if you find my stuff please be careful with dartanian_

[shortly after mashing the "send" button, Sora tosses his 'gear in front of him on the bed and sighs. tries to sigh. Bell waddles over to to where the 'gear hit the covers and turns it over and over with her tiny arm stubs, prii'ing happily to herself. feel free to make a video call, though you may be chatting with a Togepi at first.]

[if you happen to enter the pokécenter in Goldenrod, you might hear Sora arguing feebly with a nurse and basically being the worst patient ever.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[an ending where the good guy defeats the ultimate evil through the power of friendship? that's... exactly Sora's kind of ending. but he just has to absolutely make sure-- even if Rise is just telling him a story, he still doesn't like the idea of anybody not being able to come back.]

And... everybody was okay, right?

... Yeah. [ she gives him a reassuring nod. ] In the end, the prince was reunited with his knights, and they all lived happily after.

... That was a really good story. Where'd you first hear it?

I made it up, actually!

[ kind of. ]

Wow, really? Maybe you've got a career in storytelling, too, Rise!

I mean-- I could tell you were telling it straight from the heart.

[ that gets her to smile, this time brighter. ]

You could say it's based on a true story, that's all.

Really? So there's really a Prince Silver and his seven knights where you're from?

He goes by a different name, but yep!

Wow! Have you met them? Boy, I bet they're all kinds of hardcore after taking out a goddess.

[ ... oh, Sora. ] They're just like ordinary people, pretty much.

But heroes! Right?

Right.

Wow... I hope I get to meet them one day!

[ ... oh Sora, if only you knew. ]

Well, you never know. That might happen.

I'm gonna count on it!

-- Oh! I've got a story for you, too. Well... Do you want to hear a story about pirates or another story about knights?

That's a toughie. Ummm...

[ and she's actually giving this some thought. ] Well, we might as well make this a knight... night.

[Sora falls silent here, thinking. he had plenty of stories his mom used to tell them, and he loved them, but they weren't hardly as hardcore as a group of knights and a prince fighting a goddess. well... maybe he could string together and embellish parts of his own story!]

Once upon a time, there was this knight... And he lived in a beautiful kingdom, which was ruled by a king and his only daughter, the knight's friend. And the both of them were friends with an older and much more experienced knight. He was the kind of guy that everybody looked up to and counted on if there was danger.

But one day, the kingdom was attacked by an army from an evil kingdom, but for whatever reason, the older knight wasn't anywhere to be found. The kingdom fell to the army, and the three friends were separated and scattered across the world.

[ Rise's listening intently, though she probably won't ask as many questions as Sora did. She does, however, add in her thoughts. ]

S-seriously? That's awful, getting thrown that far apart!

Yeah, it was! The younger knight was able to band together with some warriors from a different peaceful kingdom, and together they scoured the world looking for the older knight and the princess, who'd been missing ever since their own kingdom first fell.

Together, the younger knight and his new friends visited all kinds of different kingdoms, and each kingdom had all different kinds of crazy powers! In one kingdom, you could change size and walk on the walls, another kingdom was buried underneath a lake so you had to use a special type of magic to visit it.

But the best kingdom was the one where you could fly-- and as the knight flew around, he thought a lot about the friends he was missing, and couldn't wait to tell them stories about all the crazy things he saw and the people he met along the way.

[ she's listening quietly, nodding every now and then and definitely intrigued by the thought of changing sizes or flying. ]

It sounds like he had a lot of fun!

Yeah, he did! And-- oh, and there was this other kingdom where they, uh... they celebrated Halloween every day. So everybody was always in costume, and the knight had to get a costume too so he could blend in with the locals. And there were exploding pumpkins. That w-- kingdom was one of the knight's favorites.

And then after--

[and then Sora's getting a little ahead of himself, not sure if he should tell the rest of the story the way he knows it. he's... not really sure if he could come up with an alternate ending on the fly.]

... And then after that, the knight and his friends wound up in a kingdom that had already been taken down by the evil army.

... It must've been pretty bad, huh?

... Yeah. It was. Nobody even lived there anymore; it was just overrun by the monsters controlled by the evil kingdom.

And... to make matters worse, both the older knight and the princess were there. But the older knight had been possessed by... the ruler of the evil kingdom, I guess. And the princess was in a deep sleep, and she wouldn't wake up.

Like "Sleeping Beauty" sleep? Gee... that poor princess. And that knight, too.

[ bleeding heart, this one. ]
