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.]

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



[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.

We'll go exploring together, right? I still haven't seen much of the city.

Uh-huh! It's more fun doing things with friends.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-08 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! We've gotta find a way to climb to the top of this, okay?

[Sora turns, and holds the pokégear up toward the radio tower. it's easily the tallest building in Johto.]

Geez that's so tall...

Wish we had keyblades, that'd be nothing.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-08 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[Sora has to think about that for a few minutes.]

--Oh! Uh. I don't think my Keyblade turns into a spaceship, though.

[video]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2010-12-08 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Mine doesn't turn into a spaceship - it's a glider. Plenty of space for both of us, if only we could summon keyblades.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe if we had our Keyblades, we could figure out how to change mine into different things!

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-08 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so, anyway... I bet it'd be a lot easier to take care of things if the Keyblade could do more than just hit and unlock things.

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Makes traveling pretty easy, that's for sure. And it can lock things too.

m'not sure if I could stay on a glider if there were Heartless shooting at me, though.

That's what armor's for. Protects you from the darkness.

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Armor? I don't have anything like that...

[video]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
I bet we could get you some!

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Where would I get it?

[video]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
I got mine from my Master, but I'm sure we could find some. It's gotta come from someplace.

[he'd ask Terra or Aqua but one's gone and the other won't talk to him, alas]

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[they'll probably be able to ask Terra on Saturday hurrrr--]

What's it look like? Am I gonna be a knight in shining armor?

[video]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[They totally should]

Yep! Everybody's armor is different, but mine's kind of like Terra's. So I bet yours'll be a bit like mine.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! I'm gonna be a real live knight... I bet Mom'd be proud.

[video]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure she would be, but I bet she's proud either way.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I miss her a lot.

[video]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'll hope you get to see her soon.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
I should be able to once the islands are restored.

[video]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2010-12-11 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
And then you'll have all sorts of stories to share.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-11 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'll definitely tell her about meeting you.
