[When the video feed first clicks on, there isn't much in the way of visuals except blackness, interspersed with the occasional flash of dull light. The sounds are much more fascinating than the sights, as it were: something is snuffling at the pokégear, and after a moment there's a series of sharp thunks, as if someone were rapping against the

[That voice!

It's--]

[Video]

[islandshore]

About time you showed up, Sora.

[Video]

[newhero]

[there's a jarring thunk and a fantastic view of the sky with Sora looming overhead- no laughing, Riku popping up like that on the pokégear was pretty much the last thing he expected.]

Riku? Riku.. Not you, too!

[Video]

[islandshore]

[Too late-- he's laughing.]

Don't sound too happy to see me.

[seasalttwilight]

[.................................]

........Sora?

[newhero]

... Yeah? Who are you?

[seasalttwilight]

It's me. Roxas!

[newhero]

Roxas? Have we met?

[mysticpearly]

[Safe to assume he's in New Bark Town?

If so, if he's anywhere outside, he'll soon notice a young girl peering around a corner at him, looking both wary and curious.

Peeking a bit more obviously around the corner is a very small Phanpy, its trunk raised in curiosity.]

[newhero]

[Indeed! Sora catches a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, feeling a pang in his chest- he's still assuming he's lost somewhere in the realm of Darkness, and it shouldn't surprise him to find others lost as well. how many worlds were destroyed before his own, after all? it still hurts to see it, though.]

Hey.. Are you okay?

[mysticpearly]

[Her eyes widen slightly at being noticed, and she seems unsure of what to do for a second. Then, without taking her eyes off of the stranger, she kneels for a second to whisper something to Fanny. The Phanpy makes a little 'Phan'-trumpety noise, then gallops (on its tiny legs) over to where the stranger's at, sniffing his legs and possibly hands if they're in reach with his trunk.]

[newhero]

[Sora breaks his gaze from the girl to this.. blue pile of adorable- not that he'd admit how completely cowed he is by it- he wants to show both girl and Pokémon that he's harmless, so he crouches down and offers both his hands for Fanny to sniff at, a wide grin on his face.]

Are you hungry, little guy? I'll make Puddles share.

[notatimecop]

Things are definitely weird here, my friend.

[video]

[newhero]

[at least he didn't drop the Pokégear this time.]

I'm starting to think weird isn't a strong enough word for it. Who're you?

[video]

[notatimecop]

[That's an improvement.]

Wilbur Robinson, at your service. And who might you be?

[video]

[newhero]

Nice to meet you, Wilbur! I'm Sora.

So, uh.. What the heck is this thing? And this place?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... Sora?!

[Video]

[newhero]

Hey! Uh..

[lightly scrunches up his face in thought, like he's trying to think of a tactful way to ask who seems to know him, "Who are you?" without sounding rude.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

[At first she's like '... Wait, what?' ... And then she notices how... little he is. And how much higher his VOICE is.]

... Oh.

... New, huh? Sorry.

[Video]

[newhero]

[he frowns, genuinely apologetic. it's not like him to just up and forget people- not that he's aware that they've never actually met.]

New? I guess so. I'm sorry- what was your name again?
