Eighty-First ☆ Sora ☆ [Video]

[skyofreverie]

[At first all that can be seen is a bare lower leg on the screen but then it shifts to show Sora with his head buried in his arms as he takes up space on the floor. He's quiet for a long time. Two cats and a dog are sitting around him as if trying to get his attention but he doesn't seem to care

We're all still alive, and uninfected. There's.. around a dozen of us, all told, here in suite five.

If.... you're feeling alone, there's plenty of food, and we could always use fresh company.

[skyofreverie]

Hey Harry. [More sniffles and he lifts his head and wipes his nose on his arm.] That's a lot of people in one suite.

I might come by. Got room for three pets too?

[harry_b_dresden]

We've got all the rooms, bring your own bedding. It's a little tight, but we're surviving. I think people are just happy to be together, playing games, telling jokes... it keeps things lighter, I guess.

Bring 'em over. Animals are particularly important this week... they shy away from infected people. Helps us keep from letting people in who are diseased.

[skyofreverie]

I gotta check on everyone else before I come over but I'll bring some supplies from my room. I've got food and games and stuff. [Distractions are good.]

Alright. I didn't wanna leave 'em alone.

[star_charm]

[Her eyes are equally as puffy.]

He told me to tell you he loved you.

1/??

[skyofreverie]

[There's visible tensing at Kairi's words and for the longest moment he doesn't say anything.]

2/??

[skyofreverie]

[Then suddenly his fist slams into the wall going straight through the drywall.]

That idiot!

3/??

[skyofreverie]

That stupid, idiotic jerk!

[Yep, he's angry. Unbelievably angry.]

[skyofreverie]

good. stay that way.

... [Sora has nothing to text about Riku's death.]

[text]

[memorizethefire]

[skyofreverie]

i'm going to stay with harry for the rest of the week.

[And don't let Sora know that Axel did the job because he will come after him.]

in person

[shardsofmemory]

[Roxas doesn't even wait for Sora to say anything. He portals directly into his Other's room with a lot of concentration, but manages to aim the portal right, anyway.

As soon as he steps out he just... walks over to Sora and hugs him]

in person

[skyofreverie]

[He hasn't really moved from his spot on the floor, but there is now a lovely hole in the drywall that's fist-sized. And he doesn't move when the portal opens up in his room or when his Nobody just hugs him. There's no response at all.]

in person

[shardsofmemory]

...he's gonna be back, Sora. You know that. [Roxas knows it doesn't help. Sora's feelings are flooding across their link, making him want to shake and cry and hurt things. But he doesn't. He stays still and presses Sora close and keeps his promise to Riku, petting a hand down his Other's back]

in person

[skyofreverie]

But what if he doesn't? What if they just never send him back? They do that. [Sora feels lost. Like the first time Riku was terminated. So many emotions working all at once and he doesn't know which one to pick. His voice is shaking as if he's on the verge of sobbing and he just sort of lets Roxas hold him.]

[truepsychictale]

I'm still around.

[skyofreverie]

Hey Sasha. [Good, another friend who's okay.] How's your family doing?

[truepsychictale]

Eddie and Lili are comatose, Sollux is healthy and everyone else is infected or dead.

[skyofreverie]

It's good that they're comatose. I'm sorry about the others though. You gonna be okay?
