tick tock

[twitching]

[Heartless are not uncommon in the dressing room.

They skitter here, there, everywhere, possibly in your closets, under your tub, you never know when one will pop up!

One in particular is hovering in a random hall, sinking to the floor flat and skittering around. It will pop up its head once or twice, but not fully, and it would skitter away the moment it sees someone.

Though anyone who could "understand" Heartless would hear him calling for a certain princess of heart.]

[Will it still skitter away if a very lost-looking Kairi with a Kingdom Key enters that hall?]

[twitching]

[!!!

No, of course not! It skitters towards Kairi happily, lurking in her shadow.]

[She turns cautiously, half-raising her Keyblade--]

[bestowed]

[--and then relaxes visibly, kneeling down.]

Hey, Sora.

[twitching]

[Oh good. He was halfway to raising the charm she gave him to show it's him, so when he pops out of the ground it's. Balanced on the top of his head like some weird hat.]

[bestowed]

[........ yep, that's Sora, alright. she holds out her free hand so he can climb up to her shoulder if he wants.]

How long have you been... here? [Wherever here is.]

[twitching]

[He shakes a head and shrugs his shoulders as best as he can. He's not sure either, before taking her hand with a claw. He's extra careful, claws away from her and trying not to be clumsy as he settles on sitting on her shoulders.]

[bestowed]

[...reaches up to boop him on the head, straightening.]

I guess we should look for Donald and Goofy.

[twitching]

[What hey what was that boop to the head. He pokes the back of her head with a fist in retaliation, though not hard enough to hurt, but at least it's not pointy.]

[bestowed]

[He's cute! It was an affectionate boop. :c

What's down this hallway?]

[twitching]

[He'll stay on her shoulders, swaying his head a little from side to side, looking around.

He perks up a little and points to a direction. He smells familiar sea air!]

[bestowed]

[Follows that direction!

... And promptly stops dead to stare when she peeks through the doorway.]

Is this...

[twitching]

[He's gone still as well, before deciding to drop down from her shoulders. He takes a few reluctant steps, looking around, almost looking lost.]

[bestowed]

[Follows close behind him, her Keyblade finally flashing out of her hand. It probably has more of an effect for him, since she didn't exactly see it destroyed, but...]

[twitching]

[He lumbers clumsily along the sand, a strange black figure in the beach. It's all here.]

[bestowed]

[She makes her way down near the tideline, then just sort of sits down, staring out at the ocean.]

I thought you said it was destroyed by the Heartless...

[twitching]

[He plops down next to her, writing erratically on the sand.]

i though t so 2

[bestowed]

[They need to find him a notepad or something. Doodles little patterns in the sand near his writing.]

So what's it doing here?

[twitching]

not s ure

i saw it disappear be4

i swear

[bestowed]

... Maybe...

Maybe this is where destroyed worlds go? [Though she's not sure she wants to think about what it would mean for them, in that case.]

[twitching]

what abou t everyone?

[bestowed]

You and Riku were blown away, right?

[She looks. A little doubtful about that happening to everyone else, though.]

[twitching]

riku wasnt himself

[bestowed]

... I know.

[Freeeets.]

But it could have happened to everyone else, too, right?

[twitching]
