026; [4th wall/Olivine]

[keychained]

[Sora doesn't remember much about the last time Johto's population grew exponentially in size, aside from the fact that he was in his favorite pair of pajamas and he lost a fight miserably to Vanitas-- though, the fact that he's suddenly able to summon his Keyblade is at least helping to deter the thought of losing fights-- and it isn't exactly the main thing that has him on edge.]

[it's this flower thingy that keeps popping up wherever he goes. tapping it with the Keyblade did nothing. taking off toward the beach to try to lose it did nothing; it just reappeared right behind him, even as Sora waded out into the water. ... fire especially did nothing. flower thingy does not like fire, and it's starting to get really creepy.]

[hence why he turns on his pokégear, fixing it on his, erm... stalker.]

Okay, I get that a lot of new people have been showing up, but what about new things? Does anybody know what this even is-- some kind of new plant? It's like it's everywhere I go.

[YOU'VE MET WITH A TERRIBLE FATE, HAVEN'T YOU, SORA?]

[ You like naps, Sora? Well he likes naps, too.

So as you're peering behind at your little flowery stalker, the goofster is over yonder snoring away like a...snorlax. ]

[ A GOOFY IS NOW BLOCKING YOUR PATH. ]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[like he'd ever forget that snoring-- Sora pauses, like the fact that he's hearing Goofy isn't registering at first, but then once he catches sight of him:]

GOOFY! [SORA USED TACKLE. IS IT SUPER EFFECTIVE?]

[headbumped.livejournal.com]

[ Though not as super effective as a surge of thundaga - Goofy wakes up! And stares at Sora through half-lidded eyes, almost as if tackles were normal with his shock-absorbent body.

Which, of course, they were. ]

Hiya, Sora. Is it mornin' already?

[ Time for breakfast? ]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

You're here! [Sora's not always much of a hugging person unless someone else initiates it, but dangit, stepping into Castle Oblivion already feels like forever ago. so have a big, squishy, tinier Sora hug, Goofy.]

[Sorry but this little guy knows nothing about strange flower-looking things. All he knows is that he's appeared in Olivine now. And he was in mid-flight, which means he fallen to the ground, rolling around until he regains some balance.]

[FUZZY BIRD. Sora doesn't meet very many fuzzy birds, not when the only bird on his pokémon roster is a giant metal bird-- so despite himself, he's approaching to get a better look.]

[froforahome.livejournal.com]

[The chicobo finally manages to stand back up, and he looks up at Sora curiously.]

[alionsomeday.livejournal.com]

[ There's a boy, maybe around ten, sitting some ways away with a book. He keeps glancing up at Sora, annoyed, over the pages.

Why are you so loud, mister? ]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[same reason he's tilting his head curiously at the kid, then walking over! sorry, Sora never really did well with quiet reading time at home.]

What're you reading?

[alionsomeday.livejournal.com]

[ A pause. Looks up, then back down. ]

A book.

[ Duh. ]

[connectingheart.livejournal.com]

I think you're supposed to sleep in it.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[... taller him. he can endure this! everybody told him he was taller the first time he was in Johto! ... this is still incredibly weird, and the look on his face is pretty plainly stating it.]

[don't mind Sora, Sora, he's just standing up a little straighter as he approaches to see if he's still got a lot of growing to do.]

So you take naps in it? Doesn't look very comfortable.

[connectingheart.livejournal.com]

Well, I woke up one day in one. I got taller.

[BECAUSE THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND RELEVANT DETAIL.]

[shadowedthunder.livejournal.com]

[Hey, Sora. Look over by the coastline. Is that---yep, that's Lightning. She doesn't seem to notice you or your flowery...thing, though. That's probably because she barely looks like she can stay standing, what with her torn clothes and blood all over the place.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

-- Lighting? Hey! Lightning!

[Sora's immediately on the move, Keyblade extended in hand as he runs toward her, ready to hit her with the strongest curative spell he's got.]

[shadowedthunder.livejournal.com]

Stay back.

[Nope, Sora, you're not hearing things. Lightning's voice just echoed as she spoke, and when she turns to look at him, her eyes are glowing yellow. Almost like a Heartless, really.]

[keybearingly.livejournal.com]

...whoa.

[This is... new.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... Hi! [you're telling him, tallstuff.]

[keybearingly.livejournal.com]

...

Its like seeing into a mirror...

[makesmefeellike.livejournal.com]

[???]

What is it?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

No idea... I heard you're supposed to sleep in them, though.

[makesmefeellike.livejournal.com]

...It doesn't look like it'd be that comfortable. Can you lie down even?

[petitecharm.livejournal.com]

... It looks sort of like a flower.

[ hi. There's a little girl going :OOOOO at that... thing. ]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Kai-- [oh my paopus. SHE'S SMALL. WHAT DOES SORA DO OH GEEZ MAYBE THE FLOWER THINGY ACTUALLY SHRINKS PEOPLE, NOT MAKE THEM GROW.]

I... yeah, it kinda does, huh?

[petitecharm.livejournal.com]

But it's not as bright as the ones at home.

[ headtilt. ] Even if home isn't here.
