[ Belle spends a lot of time wandering these days, just thinking. Wondering if she'll ever see the Beast again, wondering if whatever this is endangers the worlds (surely it must be), wondering if Sora will show up and rescue them all like before

[Wherever it is you are, Belle, there is one very, very overly-cheerful redheaded girl waving at you to say hello.

...She's also completely lost, but that may not be readily noticeable.]

[elbowpower]

[Hey, enthusiasm like that is nice to see in this place! Belle doesn't hesitate to wave back, stopping just at the door. She hasn't been paying enough attention to the other women to be able to tell those who're new from those who've been here as long as she has.]

[protect_em_all]

[You sure as Hell better like enthusiasm, Belle, because you're going to get one NICE BIG HEAPING DOSE OF IT. The redhead scurries over to the other girl.]

I don't think I've talked to you yet. It's nice to meet you!

[elbowpower]

[She needs more enthusiasm in her life, definitely. Belle is pretty sure she's right, and smiles brightly at the greeting.]

It's nice to meet you, too.

[protect_em_all]

My name's Sora!

[elbowpower]

[Belle looks pretty shocked to hear that name, and it makes her laugh.]

Really? I have a very good friend with that same name.

[protect_em_all]

Really?! You're the second person I've met here to say that!

[elbowpower]

I am? Do you know who the other person was?

[protect_em_all]

Yeah, her name's Xion. She was really nice.

[elbowpower]

Hmm... I don't recognize that name. But I wonder, how many Soras can there be?

[It's certainly not a common name.]

[protect_em_all]

At least two! I've never met anyone else with that name, either, though...

[elbowpower]

I think the two of you would get along.
