basics

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[back down a certain heavily occupied hallway there's a little kid and several stacks of cards. Sora knows how to play Go Fish and the like, and although doing so with these is entirely plausible, he learned quickly that he can do a different sort of trick with the cards. he's pretty sure he has no use for the bright red cards with weapons on the front, though after poking through a different stack of blue cards, he discovered he could create a tiny wisp of fire and a tiny block of ice! Sora hopes he won't get in trouble for the little black spot on the wall that's still smoldering.]

[he's also discovered stack of cards piled neatly next to a locked door Sora is pretty sure wasn't there when he woke up this morning. setting the door on fire didn't work, so now he's plopped down next to it, shuffling through the new stack.]

... Teeming darkness?

[Sneaking up behind him aaand....Yoink.]

Don't think you should be playing with that one.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Hey!

[waves his arms in an attempt to yoink it right back.]

But, but I was gonna open the door!

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

[Holds it above her head.]

Some doors should stay closed. Trust me.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Why's it there if I can't open it?

[pouuuuuts a huge pout, still flailing for the card.]

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

It can be opened, but sometimes it's just a good idea not to.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

But we won't know if it's a good idea until we open it! Right?

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

Not if this card opens it.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

But..

[that's quite a pout Sora's sporting, but he's falling just short of a temper tantrum, thankfully - maybe it's the other cards that are distracting him well enough, or he's making a conscious effort not to throw one. he scoots back over to the other pile and starts shuffling through them again.]

[If he throws a tantrum she wont give him the taffy she found earlier. :|

Watches carefully.]

*POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION DADDY SENSES TINGLING!*

... 'bug? Where are you? You've been pretty quiet.

*has a basket of clean laundry in his hands, yes*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Over here, Daddy!

[oh, how convenient, this card happens to be a zero card. does he just stick it on the door or what?]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*sets down the basket first and wanders into your room*

Are you playing with your toys-- PUT THAT DOWN NOW.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Wha--

[he starts, and the card slides right out of his hands and flutters to the floor. luckily he didn't get a chance to activate it.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*SWOOPS DOWN LIKE AN ANGRY GOD and snatches up that card*

Sorabug, who gave you these?!

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Nobody did! I found them!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*holds out his hand*

Let me have them, 'bug. You shouldn't be playing with such dangerous things.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[... draws his deck of cards to his chest protectively.]

I want to learn magic tricks, Daddy.

[iniquity-in-me.livejournal.com]

[Plucks that from his hand, a coy little smile on her lips.]

Not something for children like yourself.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Hey!!

[flails wildly, pouting quite angrily.]

Give it back! I'm not a little kid!

[iniquity-in-me.livejournal.com]

My, my, such a temper.

[turns the card over, examining it before glancing back at him.]

I could perhaps, be persuaded to give it back.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Pleeeease? Pretty pretty please can I have it back? I won't do anything bad, I promise!

[iniquity-in-me.livejournal.com]

This really is a special card, you know. You might appreciate it more if you have to earn it.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Well.. well.. what do I gotta do for it?

[iniquity-in-me.livejournal.com]

Not much at all. Just promise me that if I let you have it, you'll open this door for me.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

I can do that, Miss lady! Lemme have it!

[hops up and down excitedly, arms waving. it won't take him long to figure out how to use the card to open the door.]
