Since everyone else kinda looks like they're asking if their friends are here, guess I should too.

[ that's the important part here. everything else? just a day in the life... sort of. ]

Or maybe someone's seen 'em? Riku is kinda tall with green eyes and shorter silver hair. Kairi wears pink, has kinda hair, and purple-ish eyes. [ pause ] Well Axel has red hair too, really. But he's super tall and skinny.

[ or he's just short, but. Sora hums, then just decides to go for it. ]

I dunno really how to describe the others, but I'm looking for Mickey, Donald, and Goofy too.

But yeah. That's all I can think of...

[heartdive]

Yeah. We kind of had to. There was something wrong inside and we had to fix it.

[deadlydoctor]

I hope you are aware that all this makes little sense. How big was that computer?

[heartdive]

I don't really know. Guess I could explain it better, but I don't know if you will believe it.

[deadlydoctor]

Try it. I saw some really weird things in my life.

[heartdive]

Well okay...

A friend of mine was poking around in Ansem's place to get some answers. When I got there, there was this computer. The thought was that maybe the computer would have an idea about where I could find Riku and anything on Organization XIII. Instead we kinda had an accident. We were told not to push another button, but uh... Kinda hard when you're standing on buttons, you know?

Before we knew what was going on, the MCP sucked us into that digital world. Arrested us, I guess you could say. But we were ourselves, even if we looked just like any other programs that were there. I met someone there, Tron, that explained what was going on there and that something was up with the MCP. We bust out of prison and start going to where we could get access to the files we wanted. We found that the Hearless had somehow gotten inside too and was sort of causing more problems - no surprise.

[ TAKES A DEEP BREATH. ]

The only way to get to the files was to find the password. Well we didn't know that so Tron sent us back to Radiant Garden. How that works, I really don't know. Magic? A special program written by Ansem maybe? He's a smart guy, I wouldn't be surprised. So we find the password, return to the computer, and give it to Tron. But doing that sort of was exactly what the MCP wanted and he started to try to take over the entire system. Tron changed the password so the MCP couldn't do that.


[ well... that's not the entire story but he might have gotten side tracked! ]

The thing is... Inside of the computer was its own world. Places to go, ways of getting there. Tron, even he looked like any person I'd see on my island, still called himself a program. But they could move around like you or me and they had their own feelings on things too.

In the end Cid made a program that would "derezz" the MCP because he started to use the defense grid in the outside on people instead of Heartless. We managed to do that with Tron's help.

Never did get the data we wanted though... Not that I think it would have been any help now anyway.

[deadlydoctor]

...

[He has oh so many questions to make about that explanation. In the end he just goes for:] Kid, when was the last time you slept?

[heartdive]

[ ask them, KO. just ask them. ]

Technically? Just before I got here.

[deadlydoctor]

[He's worried that those questions will only lead to an even more worrisome explanation.]

Technically, doesn't sound good enough. Maybe you need to go recharge for a bit. Medical advice.

[heartdive]

[ yeah... Sora's shaking his head. maybe just losing a bit of his playfulness in the process. ]

I like sleeping as much as anyone. But one time I slept for an entire year and this last time, someone pretty much tried to possess me.

Kinda want to stay awake for a while.

[ GOOD THINGS NEVER HAPPEN WHEN HE SLEEPS. ]

[deadlydoctor]

You had a really interesting life. [Quotation marks on "interesting".] Who would try to posses a kid and why, exactly?

Can't blame you.

[heartdive]

Xehanort...

[ the way that Sora says it is in a completely different tone than previous. serious. maybe with a little bit of an edge. ]

Why me, I still don't get that. [ he's just a kid. a very NOT SPECIAL kid. a fact he knows and accepts. ] Maybe because I already have a keyblade.

The guy wants to open up Kingdom Hearts - the light of all worlds - and start another war. He needs thirteen darknesses and seven lights to do that. For his thirteen darknesses, he's just been gathering people up and taking over their hearts. Thinks it's easiest if his side all share his heart.

I was supposed to be the last one. My friends got me out of that mess just in time, from what I heard.

[deadlydoctor]

[It's almost the same way knock Out uses to say 'Starscream'. He gets the disdain.]

No matter what world we come from, wars and Warlord are always a common factor. [Non special people often end being the key to important things.] That friend who saved you, was he Axel?

[heartdive]

Axel was one of them. Mickey, Donald, Goofy and my best friend Riku all had a hand in that.

[deadlydoctor]

[He still doesn't understand how you don't see that half of your friends are cartoons but after learning about your life story he's not going to press the issue.]

Then you should go find that red head guy. I'm sure someone here must know what temple is he in.

[heartdive]

Chances are I'll find him. Ven says he's gonna show me around and that guy's hard to miss.

[deadlydoctor]

Ven?

[heartdive]

Ventus.

[deadlydoctor]

Ah, right, the little kid. I know him. Are you brothers?

[heartdive]

Nope! But we have a lot of the same friends... Just kinda years apart.

[deadlydoctor]

Lucky for you then.

[heartdive]

I do think I'm lucky. Thanks.

[ :) ]

[deadlydoctor]

[You are a funny kid,.]

You are welcome.
