[Scenario 1: Library]

[In one of the libraries, there is a ten-year-old boy, sitting at a table. More importantly, he's reading a biology book and he's even found a book of school worksheets to go with it. It seems he's imposed some homework on himself for whatever reason. And he seems to be enjoying himself, too, kicking his legs back and forth as he hums and continues to read about, well... In this case, he's just gotten to a chapter on reproduction. This is going to be awkward for anyone should they come across him and he have questions...]

[Scenario 2: Hallway]

[After his daily lessons, Sora can be found wandering the hallways, pulling a wagon full of advanced science books behind him while he tries to make his way to the place he's been calling home. He doesn't stop to play, just pulls the wagon behind him. Obviously, the books aren't for him--they're the kind someone entrenched in the field of science would enjoy. Like a scientist. Also, sifting through the books, there are a few in there on psychology and theories of the heart and the worlds. Guess who the books are being kept for if he ever shows up.]

[is it DiZ?]

You can think that, if you like. But Keyblades and their wielders are stronger and more tenacious than you think. There's a reason why there really aren't any Ansems in this place.

[vagus]

There don't seem to be too many different people, really.

[Nope, Sora as a Heartless. Be proud of your student.]

It doesn't matter how strong someone is. No one's invincible, and no one can withstand an endless onslaught from the Heartless.

[windup_boytoy]

[... that's kind of amazing actually]

You're forgetting that my friends and family make me strong. It's like that for a lot of people here, and it's true for people everywhere. I'd do anything and everything to protect my family, especially if it's to protect my son.

[vagus]

[He's a good not!dad.]

It won't matter. Sheer numbers are against you. Everything has a breaking point.

[windup_boytoy]

Of course. But there's only two of you, right? Against all the worlds? Even Heartless run out, when you're up against a keyblade.

[vagus]

Hundreds of thousands of Heartless against, what? One or two Keyblades?

[...Don't mind him being skeptical. AT LEAST IT GOT AN EXPRESSION CHANGE?]

[windup_boytoy]

I know a Keyblade wielder who took out a thousand Heartless in less than five minutes.

[he didn't even use reaction commands! yay for Drive Forms]

[vagus]

But will they be able to learn to do that by the time we make our move?

[Keep trying, Ri. You're not really getting through to him. He has ABSOLUTE FAITH!!! in his dad.]

[windup_boytoy]

[thinks about it]

Yes, absolutely.

[that's sort of annoying :/]

[vagus]

I don't think so. I haven't even seen a Keyblade, and I travel lots for Dad.

[He's a Sora, what do you expect? He's compensating for lack of anyone else.]

[windup_boytoy]

Well, that's pretty normal. Keyblade wielders are supposed to be a little stealthy.

[theoretically anyway]

[vagus]

We'll still win, in the end. Between the sheer numbers of the Heartless and the genius of my dad, there's nothing anyone can do..

[Might wanna start poking at those issues about now, Ri. Otherwise, it'll just be more of the same.]

[windup_boytoy]

Your dad isn't as smart as you think he is. He's just another Ansem.

[vagus]

He's a genius. He's taught me everything I know and he's been right about everything.

[windup_boytoy]

Ansem isn't even his name. Hasn't he told you about that yet?

/FACE IN HANDS

[vagus]

Of course it is. What else would it be?

[He has no reason to believe you, you're a meanie-face.]
