[Sora has lived through quite a bit in the past year or so: he survived the destruction of his home world, he has traveled to the ends of the universe, battled his way through hordes of Heartless, offered his own sacrifice and subsequently fell apart at the seams completely. when he finally came back together, Sora battled his way through Nobodies and Heartless twice the size of his house, and thousands of them. he has learned, through trial and error, how to keep a flame lit on the Keyblade so he can cook with it.]

[finally, after a year of such great progress and growth, he has arrived to his current dilemma.]

Rrrrrgh!

[Sora can't get the lid off of a jar of grape jelly. he's bent over, struggling with all his might. he hasn't even noticed the kitchen's suddenly not his own.]

[Sorry, but this Riku finds your current dilemma somewhat amusing.]

Problem?

[soracles.livejournal.com]

I got it, I got it!

[he so doesn't have it. Sora gives it one more twist before he stops, shaking out his hand.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

Very convincing.

[Trying not to snicker over here.]

[soracles.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? You open it, Master of Macho.

[shoves the jar into Riku's hands -- his lunch is at stake here!]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

If you insist.

[Watch closely now. Tada~]

[soracles.livejournal.com]

Hey!

... I did most of the work! You just swooped in and stole all the macho from me.

[still, he looks grateful as he takes the jar back, and glances around for the rest of his sandwich.]

Wait, where'd the bread go?

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

Maybe it ran away at the sight of your macho-ness.

[Smirks and heads for the fridge. What is there to drink today, hmm.]

[soracles.livejournal.com]

You're the one with all the macho, you know.

[seriously, the peanut butter side of his sandwich was just here a second ago! although he is realizing that the counter top has suddenly changed color.]

Uh..

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. Maybe that's what scared it off.

[Bottled fruit juice, you'll do for the time being.]

Another problem?

[soracles.livejournal.com]

The counters changed color?

[turns around, eyeing their surroundings warily.]

Wait a minute, this isn't my kitchen.

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Stares at him a moment.]

You're just now realizing this? I wouldn't have guessed you were a new arrival.

[soracles.livejournal.com]

Arrival? Where did we arrive, Riku?

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

You arrived. In the dressing room, which is... not the best news for you, but hey.

[kindofazombie.livejournal.com]

[This guy looks...familiar.]

What're you trying to do?

[soracles.livejournal.com]

Trying to .. get this .. open --

[he huffs and he puffs for a minute, but the jar just won't budge.]

[kindofazombie.livejournal.com]

Want some help?

[Sora, you look so silly.]

[soracles.livejournal.com]

Sure, I -- Roxas?!

[did they magically separate when he wasn't looking? Sora is all sorts of confused ... and pokes Roxas on the arm.]

[kindofazombie.livejournal.com]

[... What. Who, what, how? He jerks his arm back, looking puzzled.]

How d'you know my name?

[soracles.livejournal.com]

[that puzzlement is mutual, there.]

What do you mean? We've known each other for a while now.

[kindofazombie.livejournal.com]

We have?

[... headtilt.]

No I don't think so. Unless--

[The guy in red. But this guy isn't in red.]

[soracles.livejournal.com]

[his shirt is kind of red!]

You sure you're okay? You didn't hit your head or anything, did you?

[Sora's starting to wonder if maybe he didn't hit his own head.]

[kindofazombie.livejournal.com]

What? No way! It's just I've never seen you before.

[soracles.livejournal.com]

Spontaneous amnesia?

[yeah, they're never going to get anywhere at this rate.]

I don't .. know what happened, Roxas, but I'll figure out how to fix it! Don't worry.

[kindofazombie.livejournal.com]

But I'm telling you, I'm not forgetting anything, honest.

[Well.]

Well, other than who I used to be.

[soracles.livejournal.com]

Used to be?
