Hi, my name is Sora. I'm new here! I know we're supposed to bring life to this world, but how are we supposed to do that? I wonder if it's one of those smiling things, like no sad faces. If we're happy and smile a lot, maybe things will get better. We should definitely test it.

I have another question. Does anybody know if any of my friends are here? Whenever something weird happens, my friends Donald and Goofy are always with me. I have two other friends, Kairi and Riku. They're my best friends and I can't believe we got separated again! All my friends are really important to me so if you see any of them, you have to let me know!

Okay, thank you. I'm going to stop this thing now. I'm gonna ask someone around here to show me how to use it. Hope they don't mind!

[ It takes a long time for Roxas to work up the nerve to type this--not just because there's someone claiming to be Sora on the network, that name could be common enough in other worlds. No, it's the fact that he's flawlessly mentioned everyone else from his dreams: Donald, Goofy, even Riku.

It's got to be him, he thinks, and that just reminds him of the "Sora" he met upon his arrival. The one that kind of went batshit crazy. ]

You're really Sora?

Sora! You're back!

[Good timing, man.]

Riku's here, but I haven't heard of anyone named Kairi here.

[pyritic]

[ ...Wait, what. Of all the things Cloud's heard and seen about, he hasn't quite gotten the disappearing/reappearing thing and what that does to memories. So that this kid is now asking about his friends again is... weird. ]

Is this a joke, or did you hit your head? [ via boot ] You've been here longer than others.

[Of course that voice is unmistakable. He's been searching for it for days and night just about a week ago. The fact that he'd come back so soon so startling. He expected it with Roxas now running around and having returning, but there's still the surprise and the build up of anticipation of knowing when, where, and how long.

...

Of course, this could just be the gods messing with him again. Sending his best friend back and forth and back and forth and sending his other half back and forth for good measure to.

Which is the conclusion he comes to. Yes, Sora's here. It's a joyous moment, and he's going to dart out to find him as soon as he figures out which district he's in.

But for now, there's a very loud and very clear THUD that shakes the bracelet on, and the video just shows the crown of Riku's head on the desk. Face down on the desk's surface. A literal headdesk.

Gods: 1. Riku: 0. Why does he even bother wanting to fight them anymore?]

[...this sounds decidedly familiar. at the same time, there's something slightly off about it... well, okay, more than just slightly. this is gonna be awkward.]

What do you mean, you're new here?

So you think smiling could let us go home, huh? I guess it's worth a try!

[video]

[congenial]

Smiling, is it? It does seem to fit with the contents of that letter.

[Well, she hadn't met Sora before, though she was aware of him from being around. But it makes it all the more easy for her to go along with this and help him out.]

I'm not sure about the others, but I know Riku-kun is definitely here! I'm sure he'll be happy to see you when he checks this!

[It would be a lie to say she was expecting him to come back so soon, but even if she wasn't expecting it, precisely, she'd been hoping for it. It isn't a surprise, exactly, but it's a pleasant discovery.]

[Seeing all of the things that have already happened in this post before she found it, well... that's a rather less pleasant one. Seriously, she can't leave these guys alone for two seconds or they start going nuts.]

Welcome back Sora.

Man, what's

[...NOPE. Too time consuming. To video he goes!]

Man, what's with you and forgettin' this place? The gods must really love messin' with your head.

[Aaaand a beat.]

But, hey, welcome back to this crazy city. Pretty sure Riku's still hangin' around.

[brighthearted]

[ "Hi, my name is Sora."

... can this be?

Really, just like Riku...

Wait, did he say Kairi?

If the same is true of Sora that was true of Riku, and ten years have passed for him since she last saw him (and why is that?), what exactly has happened...? How does he know Kairi? Just what is going on in the worlds back home...? ]

Hi, Sora. My name is Aqua. Welcome to Asgard.

Riku is here. Have you spoken to him yet?

[video] i am sooo late; so sorry. orz.

[Aerith has been rather busy with all sorts of activities after the recent fairy attacks. So much in fact, she didn't realize Sora was missing until a day or two ago. At the library, not too long ago, she found something interesting and wanted to run it by him because he would be the only one who could help her figure it out. It was...disappointing to realize her only friend, who was almost like family was gone.

Until today.

His message over the network found it's way to her easily, so her cheerful demeanor quickly returned. Her excitement cannot be easily be heard in words, so she decided to call him out in person...or as close to one.]

Welcome back. It's so good to see you again, Sora! [Giggling at his words over smiles can change the world.] It's something like that. As far as I can tell, the world around us begins to change when there's many different visitors in one place. I don't know much about it, myself. But I believe it might have something to do with our feelings, maybe.
