Log:


[ if anyone can be found running along the shoreline, that person is definitely Sora. he's an island kid, so go figure. clothes getting soaked? who cares? shoes all damp? once again, Sora could care less. he's kicking around the waves and splashing his Swablu a little. ]

[Ven's on his way back from picking up some snacks for their group, having spend an inordinate amount of time speculating on just what grown-up Hope would want to eat. Next time he'll just ask his friend along, but hopefully his tastes haven't changed too much from before.

He looks down into the paper bag thoughtfully before he shakes his head with a small sigh]

He's sure changed a lot, but I haven't really...

[His navel-gazing is cut short when he spots a familiar mess of brown spikes a distance away, and that can only be one person really. The variety of belts and straps just confirms it]

Hey, Sora!

[heartdive]

[ because Sora needs a plethora of zippers, belts, and straps. best way to find him, really.

he stops, looking around for a second before catching sight of a familiar face yet not so familiar person. not that it really matters to Sora, mind you. he just smiles and waves. ]

Hey Ventus!

[ so he stops his play time with his bird and practically sprints up to where Ventus is. even a little out of breath, he's still grinning. ]

What's up?

[ex_aeroga402]

[Ven shifts his bag to one arm to free a hand, rubbing at the back of his neck]

You can just call me Ven if you want.

[If only because he's primarily used to his Master referring to him by full name. Him and Nero anyhow, but the way she talks is sort of her own thing]

And not much, just thought I'd pick up some snacks. I think I know what you and Riku like, and maybe Hope, but I'm actually not sure what Kairi's favorites are...

[heartdive]

[ Sora throws both of his hands behind his head, shoe idly scratching at something on his leg. dried sand more than likely. ]

I would've come along if you wanted. There's definitely some stuff here that she'd like.

[ex_aeroga402]

Yeah, guess I just got used to making runs when it was me and Riku.

[Although he's definitely glad for more company]

We could make another run, if you're not busy. I'd just need to drop this stuff off.

[Speaking of this stuff, he pauses to dig some packages out of the bag, offering those to Sora]

Here, these're yours.

[heartdive]

[ Sora's mouth forms a little "o" at the offered bags. he takes a look and reads the package. fruit snacks in the shapes of various Pokémon. ]

Sweet!

[ and he's already tearing into it. ]

[ex_aeroga402]

[He smiles when he sees it was a good selection. Sora might not remember things, but he's definitely himself]

I thought you might like 'em. They've got ones from all the different regions I guess, but I've only ever been to Johto and Kanto so far. This world must be huge.

[heartdive]

Wait... It's bigger than just these two regions?

[ first he's heard of it. ]

[ex_aeroga402]

I'm pretty sure it must be. My Lampent's not from Johto or Kanto, originally, or that's what Nurse Joy said.

[Ven has lots of theories Sora, lots and lots]

[heartdive]

What's a Lampent?

[ex_aeroga402]

You haven't seen one before? I'll get Shadow out then...

[Give him a moment or two to pat his pockets down with his free hand before he finds the right ball and out pops...

Something that looks an awful lot like a floating Heartless]

[heartdive]

[ pretty much this face right here. because holy leaping cows, batman that looks like a - ]

Why does it look like a Heartless?

[ex_aeroga402]

[A Heartless that's busily wrapping its dark arms around the straps on the back of Ven's jacket like some kind of evil balloon]

I've got no idea, but I sure was stunned. Shadow was just a little candle before.

[heartdive]

You mean the ones that eat souls?

[ex_aeroga402]

Well...yeah. But I mean, mine hasn't hurt me any.

[heartdive]

What if it has and you just don't know it yet?

[ poke. ]

[ex_aeroga402]

If my soul was gone, don't you think that'd be sorta obvious?

[He sees your poke and raises you...another poke!]

[heartdive]

[ that cannot go unchallenged!

POKE POKE! ]

Maybe you just knocked a few years off instead!

[ex_aeroga402]

[Very well, it's on now!

Poke poke and poke-]

But I haven't gotten old and grey either.

[heartdive]

[ this is going to retaliate quickly, isn't it? poke 4x! ]

Maybe you skipped the gray stage and went right to white! It'd be hard to tell being so blonde.

[ex_aeroga402]

...You have seen Hope's hair, right?

[Because if they're talking whitish silver...

And poke x5!]

[heartdive]

That just means that my "old man" comment was true.

[ oh Ven. oh Ventus. Sora's reeeeaching up.

AND HAIR TUSSLING. ]

[ex_aeroga402]

H-hey!

[Oh yeah? Well...

He knows where you're ticklish, Sora. Have at you!]

[heartdive]

Woah woah!

[ even though he's laughing, he's backing off. ]

Tickling spots are out of bounds.

[ex_aeroga402]

Not when hair-ruffling's involved, nope.

[But he's not pursuing it. Sora knows he's packing tickle-fingers now]
