020; [action for Goldenrod/Route 34]

[if one is brave enough to venture outside in the cold and snow and ice and onto Route 34 today, he or she may notice a feral child just outside the entrance to Goldenrod-- Johto's very own Mowgli is sitting cross-legged off to the side, hunched over with his arms wrapped tightly around himself. surprisingly enough, snow is pretty chilly when one lacks a winter coat.]

[it's not out of not owning one, however; Sora's coat is actually laid out on the ground in front of him. no... wait, it's haphazardly draped across about the top third of a Dratini, who is curled up with his head resting on Trainer's lap. the coat isn't much, but it's all Sora's got.]

C'mon... We're maybe ten minutes away from the Center. You can do it! We've made it this far together, right?

[a pitiful whine from the Dratini. Sora's momentarily defeated expression is obscured by his hair, and by the fact that he's staring down at the ground. though it's probably equally pitiful, that defeat hardens into steel determination-- he and Pokémon hadn't trudged around out in who-knows-where for two weeks, and finally back onto the route to wind up freezing to death now.]

All right. [his voice is unsteady, but warm.] I think you've pulled more than your own weight lately... I'll keep going for the both of us. Okay? Hold still; I'll carry you.

[... how Sora intends to pick up and carry what is essentially a 6-foot giant worm is questionable, but dangit, he's going to try-- once he picks himself up and actually gets going, anyway. good thing Dratinis are on the light side for their length.]

... My friends, right?

They're a part of it, yeah. You've got something to fight for - and that gives you strength.

Right! My friends are my power.

[video-private] so I'm sorry I missed you on AIM last night, bro >:

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
And you're theirs too. That's something Vanitas doesn't understand, and I think that's why he lost when he and I fought.

Brute force isn't my thing either, but I think what makes us strong is the same. Besides, you've got the biggest heart of anybody I know.

[video-private] no worries! <333

You really think so, Ven? I guess if Kairi could hide out in there...

[video-private] will watch for you tonight, man <3

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Her and me both, there's gotta be an awful lot of room in there.

That's part of what makes you special.

[video-private] i'll be on in a second <3

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Her and... you?

[video-private] /o/ oh boy~

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not totally sure, but I...think I'm gonna be sticking with you for a while.

[video-private]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Sticking with-- what do you mean?

[video-private]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
...Right, we didn't get to talk about that...

[Way to be, Ventus]

Remember how we remembered that we might've met before, but what we recalled didn't match?

When I went home, I figured out why.

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean-- Ven, what happened?

[video-private]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
After I fight Vanitas that last time, my heart and my body got separated. I think I was lost, but I found you, and...I guess I've been asleep since then.

You mean... you're...

[... and then all the color drains from Sora's face.]

But Ven, I-- With Kairi's heart and then I--

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, what's that look for?

[video-private]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[he's still white as a sheet, give him a minute, big bro.]

[video-private]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm... I'm so sorry, Ven! I thought I was just-- giving Kairi's heart back but I--

[I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST A MISTER FIREFLY, BIG BRO.]

[video-private]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[oh, Kairi mentioned that]

Hey, don't worry about that. Kairi needed help.

[video-private]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
But how am I supposed to find you again?

[video-private]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure something'll work out. It'll be okay.

[video-private]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
... I'll find you. Promise. The second I get home I'll start looking.

[video-private]

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I think I'll be okay. You've got a lot to take care of when you get back, right?
