distress signal

[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.]

Okay!

[he calms down considerably, though Bawk is still sort of having a panic attack between the dragon and the water, and is molting all over the place.]

... So what's it like being a dragon? Do you blow fire? Do you got treasure?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

It's hard to explain. But I'm not a fire-breather; you'd want a Flamme-de-Gloire for that.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Really? You've got a superpower though, right?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

'Course I do.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

What is it? Can I see?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

Sure!

[And in the blink of an eye, he's gone. Warped out, only to reappear on the other side of the raft. The water barely even ripples.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Wha--

You're.. you're faster than light! How'd you do that?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

It's a secret. Couldn't tell you even if I wanted.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

I can't even get a hint?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

Wellll, I can tell you I'm the only one who can do it.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Wow! So if I turn into a dragon, will I get a superpower?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

Maybe? I haven't seen anyone become a dragon.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

I bet I could become a dragon if I wanted! I'm hardcore.

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, that's a rumble of laughter.]

Let me know how it goes.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

I will! Watch, I'll do it right now!

[closes his eyes and concentrates! though the only thing he's accomplishing right now is getting a weird look from Bawk.]

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

[watches, with mild amusement.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[... ... suddenly jumps up, tiny hands curled into claws and his face wearing his fiercest expression.]

ROARRRRR!!!

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

Heyyyyyyy, not bad.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[Sora cracks up laughing.]

See, I told you! I'm a hardcore dragon now!

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

Looks like it, yeah.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

... So, what's my superpower?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

You get to be the one to figure that out. It's not something you can be told.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

So I can pick my superpower, then! Right?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

Suuuuuure.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Great! My superpower's gonna be a Keyblade!

[Sora, that is not a good superpower for a dragon.]
