001 // Voice - Video - optional Action for Riku, Danny // in which Sora does roll call

[lockandkeyblade]

[People have been telling Sora that he looks like a mess, so it's mostly Voice for Sora for now. He's trying to keep his voice steady, but it's pretty obvious he's suffering from something very similar to a hangover or worse.]

[And if some of you are reaallly perceptive, you just might recognize that voice as the kid who went trick or treating with

Comments

[ninthserenade]

Talk to 'em, I guess.

Define 'spiky', 'cause I'm in the middle of fixing mine.

voice;

[lockandkeyblade]

Not you.

[His tone changes from mildly irritated to neutral again. Because he'll talk to Demyx if he can get a good idea where his friend is.]

... Cloud. Like big blonde spikes. He always carries around a big sword.

Re: voice;

[ninthserenade]

Sheesh, no need to be rude about it.

[It's okay Sora, this guy wont drown your goldfish.]

I saw a guy like that the other day when my memory was all wonky.

voice;

[lockandkeyblade]

[Keep being this helpful, and he won't try to prank you back, mister! But uh... here's a bunch of questions you might have some trouble keeping track of?]

You did!? Where was he? Was he okay? Was he in trouble? Did you talk to him?

voice;

[ninthserenade]

One question at a time, dude. I saw him around that forest. He didn't say anything to me and I didn't say anything either--I mean, I didn't exactly have any emotions at that time so I couldn't be curious as to why he looked so funky.

voice;

[lockandkeyblade]

Oh, Sorry.

[He sounds confused now.]

... no emotions? Isn't that how it always is for nobodies?

Re: voice;

[ninthserenade]

We remember what they were like--I forgot how to feel, simple as that. That's why I didn't pester the guy about why his eyes were like the Superior's. ...Or why he had a wing flopping out of his shoulder.

[lockandkeyblade]

[Demyx can probably hear the slump from the way he's sighs.]

That's him. That's Cloud.

So you really didn't talk to him or see where he went? Anything at all?

I gotta make sure he's okay.

voice;

[ninthserenade]

I didn't talk to him. I mean, I've talked to him before, I think, just not there.

It's not like I was gonna stop him, Roxas. He looked pretty intimidating.

voice;

[lockandkeyblade]

[A long, sigh.]

Are you guys ever gonna call me by my name?

voice;

[ninthserenade]

Dunno. I'd still respond to 'Demyx' if I went by my old name.

voice;

[lockandkeyblade]

[Demyx, Sora is just way too tired to deal with you right now, which is why he just drops it. He'll fight with you another day, he's not feeling it this morning.]

Whatever.

Just... [Well. Cloud is still out there somewhere, but that's still a work in progresshe hasn't given up hope yet. Demyx is still on the line and he really didn't have to mention anything. Sora supposes he should be grateful. He sounds pretty reluctant, but does so anyway, even if it's pretty quiet.]

... thanks. For telling me anyway.

voice;

[ninthserenade]

[What is it with people and being in a downer mood today--He'll just be staring at the SFC for a bit. Hmm. How to remedy this--Aha!]

...It'll be okay, dude. He'll turn up. There's a chance he's probably just... I dunno, thinking about how to approach this stuff. It's a rush having things you forget come piling back into your head like a bunch of clowns piling up into those teeny cars.

voice;

[lockandkeyblade]

[There's a long, long silence.]

Demyx...?

voice;

[ninthserenade]

[Internal cringe--Hello feeling-of-a-possible-chance-of-being-yelled-at.]

Yeah?

voice;

[lockandkeyblade]

Are you... trying to cheer me up?
