[A day ago, a little menace arrived in Traverse Town. But before the moogles could give him his communicator - or anything else - he had scurried away. He and the moogles had exchanged choice words before he'd left and the moogles had become sidetracked with another newcomer. They really hadn't thought about it... until they woke up the next

[He knows that voice!]

626! Is that you?!

[At first the video is just scenery of Traverse Town as Stitch trots along. But then he stops abruptly, because he knows that voice, doesn't he? The video shakes as he shakes the device, and then he turns it over, peering into it cautiously.

When he sees Ventus, though, he lights up and starts in on a string of Tantalog, happily trying to talk to his friend. Then he remembers his manners and tries English.]

Ven! Ven!! My name is Stitch. [His English might sound a little odd still, but he's trying.] I have a familyyy... So no more experiment!

[Well that makes sense to him anyway.]

[Video]

[protohero]

[And Ven just starts grinning at that, because it is 626 - last time he saw the little guy, they'd broken out of that giant ship and he'd managed to overload that red car into taking off at warp speed.]

It is you! You're okay! You took off way too fast for me, buddy.

[It doesn't entirely make sense to Ven, but it kind of makes sense.]

So you're Stitch now? That's a lot better than a number.

[stitchedfull]

[Oh, right, Stitch feels pretty bad about that.]

Stitch is sorry. Ven is okay? Not hurt?

[And then he nods eagerly.]

Lilo named Stitch. Lilo is Stitch's ohana. Ohana means family; no one is forgotten or left behind. Lilo saved Stitch... Then Stitch saved Lilo like Ven saved Stitch. Terra and Aqua and Ven are Stitch's ohana too. Stitch didn't forget!

[And then he has to sit down because - phew - that is a lot for him to say all at once and he needs to breathe.]

[Oh man what is this some kind of little blue demonic koala--wait, no, koalas cant talk.

After the little wave, Demyx awkwardly returns a small one of his own.] Um... Hi?

[stitchedfull]

[Stitch turns his head this way and that while looking at Demyx before he waves again. Hadn't he already done this part? Did he have to do it to every person? He can't remember the rules anymore.]

Hiii. [He dashes off screen, and when he comes back he's wearing sunglasses. Just because he can.] Who are yooou? My name is Stitch.

[ninthserenade]

[Sunglasses? This little guy just got cooler all of a sudden.]

Well, that's a name I haven't heard before! I'm Demyx.

[stitchedfull]

[He enjoys looking cool when he can. He has to try hard to channel Elvis for Lilo.]

De-- Demu-- Demee-- [Give him a minute, he'll get it. He just has to figure out how to move his mouth so it makes the right noises.] Demyx? Demyx!

[He's really pleased for a minute, and then he has to remember what he's supposed to do next.]

Nice to meeeet yoou.

Are you alright? [What is it? It spoke... she wasn't imagining that, right? But she's never heard of an animal like this on Earth!]

[Stitch has about four bars of sea-salt ice cream sticking out of his mouth when he sees Ami, and he talks around them.] Stitch is okay. Is lady okay?

[Video]

[innerflow]

[She can't help a small laugh. The rambunctious ball of fur is pretty cute.]

I'm alright. Stitch must be your name, right? I'm Ami.

[Video]

[stitchedfull]

Stitch is Stitch. [Someone should have told him that ice cream melts. He's starting to get covered in ice cream. What do, what do.] Nice to meet you, Amiii.

Experiment 626! What did you do to those poor moogles--?

[Here is Aqua trying to sound stern, but she's trying and failing to stifle laughter behind her hand at the same time. She's happy to see him, and the whole situation is too funny.]

[stitchedfull]

Ahkoo-- Aqua! [Look! He's learned how to speak better. Aren't you proud? He wants you to be proud. Please be proud.] Um-- Stitch... played a game?

video

[lightguiding]

[She gasps, surprised. When did he learn to speak so well?]

'Stitch'... Your name is Stitch?

[stitchedfull]

[So much beaming. As much as his little monster self can manage.]

Lilo bought Stitch; Lilo gave Stitch a name. Lilo is... Stitch's circle of frieend.

[If he had his Wayfinder, he would show it, but instead he points to his chest like he was taught.]

[Kairi can't help but stare. Those poor Moogles didn't see him coming.]

Hello.

[stitchedfull]

[Fortunately for him, not a lot of people see him coming. Unfortunately for everyone else, he's a little monster.]

Um. Helloooo.

[watchesthesea]

Are you a new arrival?

[She has never seen him before so she has to ask.]

[stitchedfull]

New... [What did that word mean again?] Yes, Stitch is new!
