016; [video/action for goldenrod-- backdated to early morning]
[around 4 or so this morning, Sora had been lying in his bed in the pokécenter, awake, not very comfortable, and bored out of his mind. not a whole lot was going on over the network, and Sora didn't want to wake Hope or Rise or Puddles or anybody else nearby. there were, however, two people he had no problem bothering: Riku got a smattering of text messages full of bad puns-- hey, he needed to practice them on someone! right? but shortly after he sent Kairi a text asking if she was awake, and where she was, a new message popped up on his pokégear screen:]
error: this number is no longer in use.
[... and that's when he silently swung his legs over the side of his bed and grabbed a few things-- including his pokémon asleep in their balls and his notebook-- and for the first time this entire week, Sora creeped out of his room and successfully snuck out of the Goldenrod Pokécenter.]
[first things first-- Sora lurched his way over to the closest vending machine and picked up two bottles of soda. he... made an honest effort to chug them, but wound up dumping the contents of the second bottle into a nearby sewer. it wasn't the soda he was interested in, anyway. next, he walked over to the radio tower-- he couldn't really see the ocean over the fence nearby, but he could hear it... seems no matter where you go, the ocean always sounds the same. he sat down, leaning against both the radio tower and a newly hatched Dratini for support, and began writing.]
[when the video feed clicks on later that morning, the sun's out in full force by the radio tower. the sound cuts in right in the middle of Sora saying something.]
--tini, could you throw this in the ocean for me?
[the Dratini nods, and wraps its tail around the neck of a bottle with a note carefully rolled up inside. with a grunt, it chucks the bottle right over the fence, and both Sora and Pokémon watch as it soars, then plunks right in the ocean. please don't berate them for littering.]
Thanks. I-- [and Sora turns, noticing Bell pointing his gear at him and recording. he still hasn't actually been out and about Goldenrod wearing something other than his pajamas, but he at least thought to put on some shoes and a jacket this time. he steps a little closer, looking down at the 'gear and Bell-- he's smiling genuinely, but there's definitely a tinge of sadness somewhere in there.]
Morning, you guys! I kind of have an odd question. Have you ever been on a date before? I think we're going to set Puddles up with Whitney's Girafarig today.

Dear Kairi,
I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to talk to you about this before you left. I hope this gets to you in time, or that you know it already, but there's something really important you need to keep in mind. I am ALWAYS [--and he's underlined this word several times. even drawn a box around it.] there for you. You know that, right? Even if I try to act all tough about it, you're my best friend. You and Riku mean everything to me.
Your heart is the most important thing you have. It's what makes you who you are, and it's how we stay connected, even if we're worlds apart. If you ever feel like you or your heart are in danger, come find me. I swear I'll do everything I can to protect you. If it hasn't happened already when you get this, then... something's going to happen to the islands. And when it does, I want you to come look for me, OK? I'll be looking for you.
I get the feeling you already know this, though. I miss you. And I'll see you soon.Sora

It's nice to meet you, too! My name's Sora-- wow, I bet you fought all kinds of bad guys bad home, huh?
no subject
Sora, a pleasure.
[He laughs a little at the youngster's innocence.]
Bad and good is a matter of perception. The world back home will claim I died a villain, and they would be right, to a certain degree.

that icon is perfect
The context it is from makes it even better
Our soldiers were sick, dying from the genes injected into them. We petitioned our government to give us...[How does one explain asking for a corpse?]...Something they had that we could use to cure the disease. They refused.
Our people were going to rot from the inside out because those in charge did not want to admit their human science project had failed. Our soldiers who had fought for them were to be swept under the rug and sentenced to a slow death because of politics.
So we fought back.
what's the context?
I... that's awful... I don't understand why the government wouldn't help, if people were getting that sick.
Parking his tank in a handicapped parking space
[Indeed, like mayonnaise and blueberry syrup, Disney and Kojima's incredibly twisted and retconned plots do not mix well.]
What they did to our soldiers was against their own laws. Those in power may have lost their positions if such actions were discovered.
As well as the fact that they were in the process of creating a bipedal tank capable of launching untraceable nuclear missiles from and to anywhere in the world. That discovery would agitate the average citizen and possibly cause worldwide panic.
ahaha I love it
Well, I-- did-- were you able to help the people who were sick eventually?
That's just how he rolls
[He is quiet a moment, looking thoughtfully out at the forest.]
I do not know...Our leader's brother was sent in to take us down and from what I have heard, he was successful. FOXHOUND died that day, but whether or not our troops were healed, I do not know.
I doubt very much that they were.
no subject
... I'm sorry. Someone has to be able to save them eventually... right?
no subject
Perhaps. If we caused enough trouble, people will have looked into the Uprising. Reporters, conspiracy theorists; people like that. They may be able to have exposed the truth.
There is a Dr. Hal Emmerich from beyond my time here. I will ask him when I can.
no subject
Oh! I know Hal. He's gonna help me find the heart of Johto.
no subject
The heart of Johto? What would that be?
no subject
Well, every world has a heart! It's what makes Johto what it is-- I was hoping to find it so we'd be able to protect it if anything happened.
no subject
You seem to mean a literal heart, rather than a figurative, spiritual one. What do you think may threaten it?
no subject
Darkness. If a world's heart is lost to darkness, the world is destroyed.
no subject
This darkness consumes it?

Well... I dunno about that! I kind of fell into it accidentally.
no subject
Most people do. Still, you seem to be doing well.
The fall may not have been as accidental as you presume.
no subject
[funny, he always thought the Keyblade was Riku's fate.]
no subject
Fate is what you make of it. It is as fluid as the sea.
