distress signal

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[normally, Sora here would have gotten a major kick out of his current situation: he's floating along on a giant pirate ship queen-sized mattress with his first mate chocobo Bawk and his very own treasure chest small box of food to keep him nice and full until he drifts somewhere a little safer. heck, he'd even scooped up his very own pirate hat that was floating around unclaimed, and is now wearing it, though it's kind of big and is sort of hanging lopsidedly off the side of his head.]

[so pirate ship, check, pirate hat, check, pirate crew, check, pirate treasure, check... but this little buccaneer is looking less like a pirate and more like a just kicked puppy, sitting in the middle of the mattress and staring at his hands rather than the rest of the dressing room he's floating by. this has not been a good week.]

[there's a barely noticeable dip in the mattress when he appears, sitting cross-legged in a simple pair of thick, loose cotton pants. there's great wings on his back of a pale gray, spread slightly to accommodate the position.]

What's the matter, Sora?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[Sora's seen a lot of neat things in his time in the dressing room, and people with wings is definitely one of them- they never cease to amaze him, though, and he is temporarily distracted from moping to boggle.]

You just-- you can fly!

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

[he cracks a bit of a smile, spreading his wings out to either side. it's quite a wingspan, as he stops before they can touch either side of the hall.]

Yes, though it's a little harder when I'm wet.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Wow! You could be a airplane!

[Sora crawls over to Riku, because getting up and toddling over on a floating mattress is a little too unsteady for him, and tries to pat at a wing curiously.]

[sunset-requiem.livejournal.com]

[he'll let him, still smiling a little. his wing is mostly muscle and feather, and very much wet from all the water.]

I could, but I'm just an angel.

[Careful you don't run into that dragon sloshing past then, Sora.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[this is easily the scariest week he's had in... well, this is the scariest week he's ever had. cue the flailing and the attempt to paddle his little pirate ship out of the way.]

'Scuse us, Mister Dragon!

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

[The dragon just sort of offers a grin, although that many teeth probably isn't any less scary.]

Hey, no problem. And I won't eat you, if that's what you were worrying.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

-- You can talk! Whoa!

[he's still shrinking away from those teeth, though.]

Y-you promise? I've got food if you're really hungry so you don't gotta eat people, okay?

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[At least a mattress is more comfortable than floating around in a big toy chest filled with dolls, right? Not that Kairi's complaining.]

Hiiiiii Soraaa!

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[holy cow, a treasure chest! with Kairi and treasure! Sora waves frantically and starts trying to steer his mattress toward her.]

Kairi! Are you okay? Hang on, I'll get you!

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

I'm okay! I found my toys!

[Or some of them, anyway. She doesn't mind him coming over though, because she's a little scared being by herself.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[once the mattress and toy chest bump together, Sora scoots closer toward the edge of his little vessel and tries to reach for the chest.]

You wanna get on here? What kinda toys do you have?

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[Ahoy, there matey. There be mermaids-- well, sirens, technically-- in this here ocean. She swims up to his 'boat', looking concerned.]

'Bug? You okay?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[he looks up at her after a minute, frowning.]

Miss Naminé, am I a bad person?

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

No, of course not... what would make you think that?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

I...

[he shakes his head vigorously.]

No, I don't. I'm not.

*he's rowing towards you in... a giant metal tub that's probably meant for washing things in, but it's all he could find at first -- how sad that your vessel should be so much more majestic*

'bug! I've been looking everywhere for you! Are you hurt?

*why do you always get separated ;;*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[hop aboard, Sora! there's plenty of room to spare- he smiles a little weakly at Sora.]

Hey, Daddy... m'okay.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he will gladly do that, and comes over to cuddle you in his arms*

What's the matter, little 'bug?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[he curls up in Sora's arms, looking a little relieved.]

Daddy... Daddy, will you teach me how to beat up bullies?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*someone is paddling up on a surfboard*

'bug! Are you alright?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[he looks up at Ri, and nods, before lowering his head again so he can resume his fixed gaze on his hands.]

Hi, Daddy.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he's coming up alongside you and putting a hand on your head to ruffle your hair*

Are you hurt? Hungry? I'm sure that this spell will end soon. I'm glad I was able to find you in this mess.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[Sora immediately tries to cling to Ri's arm when he pulls way after those hair ruffles. he shakes his head to both questions.]

I got a pirate ship...
