[by now, Sora'd learned how to quell his frustration at the fact that, without fail, when one of his friends is in trouble or having trouble, he's too far away to do anything about it-- especially when he almost never had this problem back home... but another thing Sora's learned is, his friends here are more than capable of caring for themselves, and each other. still, slightly more relaxed that he is, he sends these texts out of worry. Lightning never struck him as the napping type, really.]

[that, and he probably needs to check up on Puddles, too.]

Are you guys doing okay? Nothing's changed? Rise, Puddles isn't giving you too much trouble, right?

[now, Sora had only meant to send those text messages early this morning, but Teddy, being the tech savvy little furball that he is, saw fit to grab the pokégear and snap a recording for Johto's Funniest Home Videos. Sora is seated on the ground somewhere in Ilex Forest, his head tilted waaaay back to look up at his beast of a Skarmory. a beast of a Skarmory with a squirming and squealing Caterpie wedged in her beak, and a Skarmory who is leaning down and giving Sora a fairly "YOU BETTER WISE UP AND LISTEN TO ME, YOUNG MAN," sort of look.]

[Metal Chocobo caws around the bug. Sora shakes his head fervently.] No.

[a muffled squawk that could probably rival her mother's. "but Trainer, it's breakfast time! and I caught you this delicious Caterpie! here comes the choochoo bird--"]

No! Look, I know I said I ate a few bugs as a kid, but I haven't in years! C'mon...

["SON, YOU ARE LUCKY I'M NOT EATING THIS THEN REGURGITATING IT ON YOU." Metal Chocobo looms closer, practically smashing the poor Caterpie against Sora's face-- and, like a stubborn and picky toddler, he clamps his mouth shut and tries to wedge his hands between his mouth and the bug.]

[unfortunately for Sora, Metal Chocobo has quite the height advantage. Sunday morning has turned into a battle of wits, kid against bird-- or at least, a battle of who's more stubborn.]

Things are stable. Don't worry about Light, she's made of tough stuff.

[It's too bad Riku didn't bring Gear with him. He'd love to eat some bugs.

But Riku had to bring Ace along so someone can keep an eye on his new Pokémon. All... four of them. Right now, she's busy chasing around his Gible, but Blade, his Scyther, sees what Metal Chocobo is doing and flies forward with a loud Scccccccraaaaaaah!

Yeah, she's not happy. Riku, though? He's leaning against a tree with a rather bored expression. Crazy monsters.]

[ lol what is this even. ]

Dude, for your sake, just eat it. That thing looks like it might shove it down your throat. [ he looks down at his aipom and holds up his hand; the large third hand is seen giving him a high-five. ]

Yeah I did.

[ Sora got a short but cheery 'holding down the fort, Puddles has a date later!' text, but Rise has to move on to video when she spots the... well, yes. ]

Um, Sora...

[ oh geez, she leaves you alone for five minutes-- Kairi is heading to the rescue!!

... Which means she's actually trotting over to wrap her hands around the bug, because when you grow up with Sora waving creepy-crawlies in your face and going "LOOK KAIRI ISN'T IT COOL", you tend to build up a tolerance to big caterpillars. ]

Come on, let it go!
