Dive 002: Fill in the Blanks (Video/Action)

[heartisabattleground]

Video

[Sora had been trying to follow Riku's advice for days. Not stressing over forgetting people here and for not remembering Luceti at all. For the passed few days he managed that. He is having a good time and making new friends. Honestly, he almost felt like he couldn't have a care in the world. 

But it was becoming too much. The longer he stayed here, he felt like he really had been here before. Of course he didn't remember anything. In his head he knew he didn't know Luceti but in his heart it felt like this place had been very real to him at one point. It's the same for the people he didn't know. They have been coming up to him saying they were glad he was back. All Sora can do is keep apologizing for not remembering. It hurt. For him and probably for the people he forgot.

So he's gone on the journal being able to figure out how to get a video on all by himself now. He sits there on his bed at the welcome center looking down at the book. Anyone seeing him could tell he looked very upset but these words have to be said.]

Hey everyone, It's Sora.

[There's a pause now. Taking a breathe he continues.]

I'm Sorry. I know everyone keeps telling me I've been here but I just don't remember. But the thing is...It feels like my heart remembers what I felt but I can't remember anyone's face or name. I can't even remember any of the good times I had together with the people here.

[So he's going to be sounding a little desperate here.]

So come on! If you knew me while I was here and we were friends, tell me! I don't want you to think that I won't talk to you.

[He hangs his head with a sigh. He could almost cry with this. Heck, the tears he's holding back are really stinging.]
 

Please?

Action

[Sora has found a tree to lie under, as he stares up at the sky. If he's staying here he may as well do something. There's so many things he wants to do and has to do. For one he needs to find a house of some form to live in because it's doubtful that he can keep mooching off the welcome center. Second thing is is what he was going to do with his time here. Maybe he should write a journal like Jiminy, so just in case he did forget again and came back he'd have something to remind himself.

However, if someone comes by later in the afternoon, Sora will be snoozing away the afternoon. Sleeping is his best skill after all]

Comments

[voice]

[selfhelp]

Sure, we can do that. Want to get some lunch? I've had the best experiences making friends over lunch.

Re: [voice]

[heartisabattleground]

Yeah, sure. I am kind of hungry. I heard that the Seventh Heaven is a good place to eat.

[voice]

[selfhelp]

Okay, I can meet you there. Noon, maybe?

Re: [voice] -> Delicious action?

[heartisabattleground]

Sure! I'll see you then.

[And Sora goes to wait at Seventh heaven when noon arrives. He's just standing outside the place. Maybe once he saw the guy some memories would come back.]

Super delicious action

[selfhelp]

[Billy figures that just teleporting in out of nowhere is too startling for a first meeting - at least, not without warning the other person first - and since it was an arranged meeting, he decides to walk. He spots Sora while wandering up the path from his apartment building, and all seems fine and normal until- hold the phone.

That's-

That's Sora. The Sora. Disney-hero-believe-in-friendship Sora.

Wooooooow. Suddenly he feels underdressed.]

Hey. Uh. Sora?

[Teddy-is-going-to-freak.]

Re: Super delicious action

[heartisabattleground]

[Well, here's someone who's coming his way. Turning to the boy when he addresses him, Sora smiles and nods.]

That's me. Billy, right? It's nice to meet you.

[So, just walking over to him casually and extends a hand out to Billy.]

[selfhelp]

N... nice to meet you, too. [Whoooooa. This is really Sora.

That hair really is as crazy in real life as expected. He reaches out to take the offered hand, though, shaking it, and he's trying to keep his grin under control, but damn is this hard.]

Is billy having a fanboy crush?

[heartisabattleground]

[Sora is noticing his stutter and the very weird grin Billy's giving him. But, he's associating it with "we must have hung out a lot."]

So, you ready to go in?

luceti has him in a perpetual state of fanboy crush

[selfhelp]

...Oh! Right, sorry. [He releases Sora's hand before it starts to seem like he's been holding on too long, scuffing it through his hair. Awwwwkward.] Yeah, let's go in. I'm starving.

Re: luceti has him in a perpetual state of fanboy crush

[heartisabattleground]

[Sora's just still smiling. He seems unfazed by Billy's awkwardness, mainly cause he doesn't notice.

So, heading on inside, hands behind his head he looks over to Billy.]

Do you remember anything about us being friends before?

[Yup, Sora's believing it.]

[selfhelp]

[Aaaaaa Sora-pose, hands on head, cannot handle iiiiiit-]

Um... afraid not. But, uh-

[Actually, this is kind of convenient.]

I get, uh, flashes, sometimes. Memories of people I don't really know. It's hard to explain. So if I say anything weird, don't think too much of it, okay?

[heartisabattleground]

[Good way of putting it Billy. Else if you slipped up saying something about Kingdom Hearts he might think you're with Xehanort.]

Really? Like what?

[selfhelp]

...Like... [Okay. How to put this. Uhh...] ...Keys. And keyholes. And doors. [....] Are you a locksmith or something?

[heartisabattleground]

[Sora just gives him a bit of a look of confusion. A locksmith? Really? But it earns a bit of a chuckle.]

No, I'm a keyblade master.

[Okay, maybe not OFFICIALLY but details.]

[selfhelp]

A... keyblade master? What's that even mean?

[And now his brain is turning-turning-turning, wondering which game Sora hails from.]

[heartisabattleground]

It means I'm a wielder of the keyblade!

[Obviously, gosh Billy.]

[selfhelp]

[Oh yeah obviously 8|]

We, uh, actually don't have keyblades on my world.

[heartisabattleground]

You don't?

[Well...now that he thought about it...not every world had a keyblade wielder.]

Uhehehehe...I guess you're right. I'm guessing you don't have Gummi ships either.

[selfhelp]

...We've got Gummi bears?

[Yeaaaah, not the same. Not even close. But now he's really pondering the mechanics of a block ship in space. How do they even construct it? Do you need tools to make a Gummi ship or does everything just kind of... stick?

God, the questions he could ask.]

[heartisabattleground]

Gummi bears? Do you make them from gummi blocks?

[But, Sora's looking at Billy. Right, they've been standing quiet for awhile. Anyways, time to move things along?]

Maybe we should go and get some food. We can ask more about each others' worlds over lunch.

[selfhelp]

Haha, yeah. [Billy jerks his head in the direction of the nearest table, heading over to take one of the seats for himself.] Sorry, I get kind of excited, talking about other worlds... um, but gummi bears are just candy. I don't think it's the same thing.

[heartisabattleground]

Candy? Huh, I wonder if that could be said for gummi blocks.

[No Sora, don't try it.]

It's okay, I've been to a lot so I know they can be exciting. What's yours like?
Oh, we have sea salt ice cream though. It's pretty awesome.

[selfhelp]

[Don't eat your ship, Sora.]

...Well, we don't have sea salt ice cream - that I know of, anyway - but my world's full of super heroes, and that's pretty awesome in its own way.

[heartisabattleground]

[Don't tell me what to do. I do whatever I want.]
Super heroes?

[Sora's never heard of a term like that for heroes before.]

Are they like heroes except super?

[He's not getting it.

[selfhelp]

Uh... basically, yeah? It's more related to what they can do, though. Most people on my world don't have special abilities or anything. Super heroes are people who use their powers to help others, sometimes even risking their own lives to do it.
