do not pass go

[he's sitting off in the corner with his back to the wall, although his entire body's drooping -- there's an occasional sniffle in there somewhere too. Bawk is perched in his lap, offering sympathetic peeps when it's not preening.]

Mister big Kid Soras?

[rubs at his eyes with his arms -- aside from the really really tall Mister Skeleton guy, the big kid Soras would know best, right?]

How d'I get off of Santa's naughty list?

[WAS ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING THAT WOULD SHATTER YOUR SOUL...but doesn't]

Uh...ummmm...be nice?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

I tried that but everything I do is wrong!

[talking to strangers is Sora's biggest downfall.]

[horrible-ending.livejournal.com]

What did you do?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Well ...

I talk to strangers when I'm not 'sposed to, I cut my hair and got in trouble, I cut Bawk's hair but nobody knows about that one --

[Bawk sure does, however, and peeps at Sora.]

-- and I ate taffy when everybody told me not to, I got stuck in the freezer ...

[he'll keep going for a while.]

[is suddenly recalling why his parents left him to play on tropical islands where he can't get in much trouble]

[makes a noise that sounds like a cross between a whimper and a hiccup.]

I'm gonna be on Santa's naughty list forever ...

[horrible-ending.livejournal.com]

N-No you won't! You know, Santa's lists get uh...renewed every year. So you have a chance next year!

And...uh...You just have to be good and listen to others from now on. Chrismas is still a ways away.

(a-aw)

Why would you be on Santa's naughty list?

(kind of wondering what list he's on)

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[sniffles.]

'Cause I keep doing bad things! Even when people tell me not to.

[waywardfate.livejournal.com]

Well, everyone makes mistakes, and there's still a while 'til Christmas.

(doesn't want little!him to be sad)

Maybe you should stick by the people who tell you, so they can remind you.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[wipes his nose. ewwww, boogers.]

Really? Who would do that?

[waywardfate.livejournal.com]

Well, I could.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[have a kid clinging to your leg, Sora.]

Thanks, Mister big kid Sora! I'll be good I promise!

...

[pokes ur hed]

What'd you do to get off the list?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

I cut Bawk's hair!

[... ever seen a chocobo with a mohawk?]

[widdlewiku.livejournal.com]

[POKES HARDER]

What! Why?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[hey, ow! flails a little bit.]

He looked like he needed a haircut! And, I couldn't find Miss Aerith lady so ...

[widdlewiku.livejournal.com]

[hufffffs]

Now he looks dumb!

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

It's not that bad! Bawk doesn't mind!

[to that, Bawk peeps at an uncharacteristic volume.]

See? He's happy!

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*sits down next to you, letting Poco offer his sympathy as well :|*

How could you possibly be on the naughty list?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[climbs right into Mister big Pirate Sora's lap, snuffling.]

I do things when people tell me not to. Like, like cut Bawk's hair!

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

*thinks about that*

Well, I think Bawk looks kinda rockin'. Why did you decide to cut his hair, Sora?

*holds you around the waist*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[nuzzles into his chest, voice muffled.]

He was squawking at me! I figured that's what he wanted.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*pets your hair gently and hugs you*

Maybe he wanted something else! I don't think chocobos squawk when they need haircuts. *whispers* But he does look totally punk rock.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[looks up at him with wide eyes.]

You really think so? 'Cause, 'cause you're a pirate!
