[Sora has spent most of his day on the beach of the Enviro Dome, having changed into his regular worn-out jeans and black shirt. He's barefoot, sitting in the sand and digging his toes in idly. He has watched the sun both rise and set today, leaving briefly to go get food]

I finally find a beach and it's not even a real one. Geeze.

[redpaperfan]

Being planet-side would make it real, then?

[[ Keeps asking the same question; he's a bit irritated at the concept of real and fake lately. ]]

[dawn_is_coming]

Nah. It's the people that should be here that make it real or unreal to me.

[wriggles his toes in the sand again, looking up]

I'm Sora. Have I met you?

[redpaperfan]

[[ He takes stock of the answer and name, but for Sora's sake, shakes his head a little. ]]

You haven't, no. My name is Sasuke.

[dawn_is_coming]

Uh. Okay. Nice to meet you, Sasuke. Where are you from?

[conniving_flame]

You're lucky this ship even has a fake beach.

[dawn_is_coming]

Yeah! I guess so. Most ships don't have 'em, do they?

[conniving_flame]

Never seen some of the technology before, so the Organization ships are either cheap or out of the loop.

[dawn_is_coming]

We only had a couple of small gummi ships on our side. I haven't seen anything like this, either.

But why would they need a beach on a ship?

[twilightfell]

... it's not so bad.

[dawn_is_coming]

Not as good as the real thing and the people that used to be...

[shakes his head]

I know we're still on a ship or whatever. I know it isn't real. It's too perfect. There's no dead fish, no seaweed and kelp and worn bits of glass on the shore. That makes it hard to like this beach too much, even though it's...it's really nice.

[twilightfell]

.. I know, Sora. But you have to take what you can get, right?

I guess I .. really hadn't thought about that. I hadn't seen -- many beaches before this one. [by which he means "none," naturally]

[dawn_is_coming]

[grins lopsidedly]

Yeah, the beaches in my dreams never had dead seagulls or sharp rocks, did they?

They've got the look right, but not the smell. I guess that's 'cause they have the ground, but nothing here's alive.
