[ Welp, it's not everyday that you wake up soaking wet. Actually, taking that back-- rephrasing. It's not everyday you wake up soaking wet in another world. That world, which is completely unfamiliar to this little Keyblade Weider. ]

-- Huh? [ A blurry gaze peeked

Comments

... her hair's short. Icons are a lie!

[thehawks_eye]

Here. [She saw him arrive (While getting dinner for that night, actually} and had gotten a towel. She held it out with a calming smile. Another kid. This place seemed to like them a lot.]

Welcome to Vatheon.

WHAT. How dare that icon lie!

[chosen_derp]

Whoa--! [ A little surprised at the voice popping out of nowhere, but with head turned and eyes locked, Sora returned the friendly smile with one of his own.

He noticed the towel in her hand, eyes flickering to it, before a simple nod. ]

Eheh, thanks a lot! [ Just. Taking that towel and passing it over his head now. ]

Wait, Vatheon?

Re: /sobs.

[thehawks_eye]

Indeed. It's what this place is called.

I'm not a native, though. Like you, I've been dragged here from my own world.

/comforts. It's alright, bb. Just let it all out.

[chosen_derp]

[ Hold on, give him a minute to think about this and to finish drying himself off. ]

What do you mean dragged? What is this place, exactly? I've never been to this world before!

[leftie4life]

Huh. You new here, too?

[HELLO FELLOW HERO-THING.]

[chosen_derp]

[ WHOA. OHAI RANDOM ELF PERSON.

He's really not seeing a theme here... ]

Huh? Oh, I guess so. [ A sheepish chuckle before whoop~, a hand slides behind his head. ] But I don't know where here is.

[leftie4life]

They tell me here is Vatheon. Whatever that means.

[ALSO IF IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S GOT BAGS UNDER HIS EYES... that's normal, this guy never sleeps.]

Uh. Who're you looking for?

[chosen_derp]

Ohh, so this is another world!

[ SORA NOTICES THOSE BAGS, LINK. But that's alright, he'll get to that subject later. Right now-- ]

My friends, Riku and Kairi! I was just with them and then... [ Well, you get the picture. ]

Have you seen them anywhere?

[boundbynaught]

[Rep shows up in this outfit, after Corridor Stepping out just long enough to grab lunch. He isn't planning on sticking around very long, but that hair is unmistakable, even if the owner is a little older than he remembers.

Rep isn't sure he wants to approach, but decides that he needs to make sure - Ven said Vanitas looked like Sora, so which one was this? He doesn't feel like a dark presence, so it must be Sora.]

You grew up a little since I saw you last, Sora. You probably... don't remember who I am. Do you?

1/2

[chosen_derp]

[ Lookin' snazzy in that outfit, little Riku. He doesn't notice at first, but the moment Sora's eyes flicker to a familiar figure-- his head snapped into that direction. ]

Riku--?

[ Whoa whoa, what? Sure, that looked like Riku but considering the last time he saw the boy-- granted that was only a few minutes ago-- he was much... well, older. ]

[chosen_derp]

[ So excuse him if he gives you the most confused face he could possibly muster up as an expression. ]

Of course I remember you! But... did you do something different with your hair?

[boundbynaught]

I'm not your best friend, Sora. [But boy does he have the posturing and tone down pat. He's got his shoulders thrown back and the same little hand motions to accompany his speech.] I just look like him.

I... [Still hard to say this.] go by Caden here.

[ninthserenade]

[CAN IT BE?

C-CAN THE KEYBLADE USER WHO SNUFFED HIM OUT AND LATER BEFRIENDED REALLY BE BACK?

Only one way to find out;]

...Sora?

[chosen_derp]

[ Jumping a little at the unexpected sound.

Wait wait, he knew that voice. ]

-- You! [ Okay, now he was really dreaming. The Organization? Here?

So just. Going to stand back a little guarded. ]

What are you doing here? [ And... alive? ]

[ninthserenade]

[So he doesn't remember. Damn. Looks like he'll have to start from scratch.]

Yeah, me. The guy who can't fight.

[A small smile works its way to the surface.]

Uh... Dude? I've been here for a little over eight months. I ended up here after you sorta snuffed me out.

[chosen_derp]

[ Alright, so he acted the same, at least. Usually his dreams portrayed others a little bit differently, but this was just a little too vivid for his liking. ]

Snuffed you out...? So wait, do you mean people come here when they die?

[ H- he wasn't dead, was he? ]

[limitless_land]

[...Well, he'd heard that Sora woke up eventually and had always been on the fence about really believing them or not. Especially since he's become even more of a skeptical cynic than before, it's gotten harder to trust someone by their word after all this time. So when he's out on a walk, mainly to get groceries since a certain lazy bum is asleep and Luka was busy, the last thing ht was expecting was-

'Riku... Kairi?'

Riku stops dead in his tracks, hood still hiding his face. Ever since he tracked down a certain witch he's been rather protective and paranoid, not leaving the house often. Today was a rare occasion. Hearing that voice and now that he was paying attention to other hearts that weren't just those he was on guard about.

Sora...He wasn't too far from his position, either - just inside hearing range. But to let his friend see him like this... No, that wasn't just what he was worried about. Facing Sora in this state, while just before coming here he knew that the progress to restore his memories had slowed down to almost a

SORRY I WAS SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST then I had to go. o_o;

[chosen_derp]

[ Sora continues along steadily until something catching the corner of his eye. It's dark, and at first a little hard to make out, but as the figure draws closer the realization finally seeps in.

At first Sora's initial reaction would be action. Considering he knew that 99.999 present of the time black cloak = Organization. Not only that, but the horrifying thought in the back of his mind that the Organization did somehow get brought back to life. Which would only mean more problems for him and his friends. The only difference was... this time he was alone.

That's alright, Sora could protect himself if need be as his stance followed suit with his expression. Hard, defensive, and full of caution. That was though, until the cloaked figure made his next move. ]

Huh-- [ The glare that had once seconds ago hung against his face was now replaced with question. He doesn't take the towel just yet, still a little cautious, but shoulders are now visibly relaxing. ]

Who-- who are you?

IT'S TOTALLY FINE NOW IF LJ WOULD STOP FAILING-

[limitless_land]

[He knew that look, even if it was hard to tell from behind the cloth. The figure chuckles under his breath, shaking his head as he instead just tosses the towel at the dork's head. Hey, he tried the nice approach first.

Yet the chuckle was halfhearted, a mixture of sadness and of relief. Because Joshua and the others had been truthful about that much. He wakes up... And this just confirmed it. Now if only he believed in Santa, then it would all be set...

And congrats, Sora. You meet the one in fifteen chance that it isn't the Organization.]

You're the one who called, Sora.

IT LIKES TO BRING US DOOOWN.

[chosen_derp]

[ He stiffens at the sound of chuckle, opening his mouth to speak before-- kfjbaga yeah, he's just been towel'd. The boy scrambles to remove the object from his face; half peeking out from it's contents to watch the figure's movements.

Were they... laughing? Okayokay, Sora didn't find this very funny, Mr. Black Cloaked Maybe an Organization man. Lips will purse out in the most tiniest of pouts. ]

I... called? What are you talking about? [ Because of course, the possibility of it being Riku was so foreign as of right now.

Totally. ]
