004 ☁ Video

[ Sora is feeling pretty good - despite how the market area looks. Kyokyomon rests on his head and Renamon is hovering over a shoulder. ]

Kinda glad that everyone is back to normal. It was starting to get kinda rough, you know? But hey... It's all over and we definitely kicked butt! I got my crest too and I'm pretty sure lots of us did. So the next time something happens, we're gonna be even stronger.

[ well. Sora thinks so anyway! just look at that face and try to disagree. he takes a moment to look over to Renamon with a grin. ]

And we get to make new friends. More help never hurt, right?

What, with these?

[He walks behind him, playfully lifting up his arms in birdlike motions.]

No wonder ya always win.

[ the kid snorts, laughing. ]

Nah. My best friend would beat me all the time.

Yeah?

[He's working his way behind the counter, helping himself to the ice cream already. Don't worry, he works here.]

What'd ya race over?

Anything and everything. If there was something we couldn't decide on, we'd just race for it.

Or spar.

Spar? Now you're talkin'.

[There's smirk of approval as he shoves a cup of ice cream into the kid's hand, laying the bits for all of theirs on the counter before heaving up onto it for a chair.

Seems to be a pretty slow day, so why not?]

Figure we oughta do that sometime. Bet I could make us somethin'.

[ gonna have to give Sora a second. he is wonderfully distracted by ice cream. sure, it's not seasalt, but that's fine. ANY ice cream will do at the moment and dang it... he's going to enjoy it. HIS VICTORY.

...and only Renamon seems to enjoy his enthusiasm. Ryudamon is taking it all just as calm as ever. ]

I still have a keyblade here. It doesn't disappear all magic-like and stuff, but it's collecting dust in my room.

[Wheeljack stops eating a moment, when Sora says that.]

Wait, ya got to keep your weapon?

[NO FAIR. He came in with zilch in this stupid world. Then again, swords larger than a car wouldn't really benefit him here.]

Guess I'll have to remake mine.

I've got to keep everything that was on me. Potions and stuff too.

[ messy eater much? Sora's one. ]

What's yours look like?

...Hmph.

Ish provably caush ur weponsh were in you [Don't mind You, she's got a face full of ice cream at the moment.]

Hey, not all of em.

[He turns to Sora, though, taking two plastic spoons from a container and twirling them in his hands.]

Dual blades. Yannow, to start off with.

Dual, huh?

[ that seems to perk Ryudamon up. likely because he can spit spears and stuff. Sora's interested too, but his mouth is full. so he just nods with as much energy as possible. ]

That means two.

[It's followed by a slight smack to You's head. Sorry, You, but Wheeljack thought you deserved that one a bit.]

Yeah. Not too shabby with a blaster or a few grenades either. Blades take top.

[He notices Sora's enthusiasm, though, smirking to himself as he scoops up some ice cream from his little cup.]

What about you? What's this key...thing?

[ Sora snickers, hand over his mouth to stop from snorting out ice cream or something. Ryudamon, on the other hand, grumbles. all he had wanted is like a demonstration...

Vixie? she's humming to herself and having a good ol time. 8| ]

Keyblade. It's a sword in the shape of a key. Only special people can wield one and it's the weapon that the Heartless fear the most. With it I can do magic and unlock pretty much anything I want.

[Don't worry Ryudamon, the Lopmon feels your pain, and goes over to pat him on the back. They're difficult, she knows.]

Sounds like an all in one, if ya ask me. Magic, though, I'd hafta see in person. Ya got me a bit skeptical.

[You've got no room to talk, giant robot that turns into a car.]

And...Heartless?

If we get the chance to have that stuff back? 'Course I'll show ya.

[ totally is an all in one. Sora takes a bite or two of ice cream before answering the next question. he talks about it so very naturally. which, well. Heartless are pretty easy now, as far as enemies go. ]

Heartless are the darkness of peoples' hearts. They're monsters that just look for other hearts to take. Well they're called hearts to us, anyway. I think someone mentioned that it sounds like a soul. So I guess it could be that too.

[It's almost amusing how Sora speaks about this as if he were talking about the weather. It's gotten a small smirk out of the old war hero.]

'was gonna say. Not all of us got hearts. Not like you humans do.

...

Sparks. That's what we call 'em.

If it's what makes you, you... Then really it's kinda all the same. At least that's what I'm finding out.

[ hmm... ]

But why spark? I've never heard of that one.

Heh, ya sound like my Commander. Usually said inspirin' scrap like that.

[The question intrigues him, as if he's never really been asked that.]

Guess it's like askin' why ya got a heart. It's just...always been there.

Your commander is probably a great guy then and you should listen to him more.

[ sticks out his tongue! ]

And you know... I've never asked what your home's like.

[Oh, playing that game, are we? Have a tongue stuck out back!

...He didn't even know he could do that. Thanks, kid. But after that, he stirs his ice cream, looking up at the ceiling of the shop.]

Home? You wouldn't wanna see it now. Nothin' but rubble and scrap metal. But in it's hay-day...

The whole planet, kid...Lit up. This place don't even compare to the darkest parts of it.

Lit up? Like... A Christmas tree?

[ sorry WJ... that is on his mind at the moment. you will just have to deal. ]

...

[Small lean over to You.]

A lit up tree for winter.

...Oh. Sure, let's go with that. Just like that. Only the size of a planet.

[Someone's new to Christmas, Sora.]

...You're so gonna help me decorate a tree. You haven't really lived until you've experienced Christmas.

[ but anyway. Sora's shoving his empty bowl aside. ]

So what happened to it?

I keep hearin' about this but...what, some kinda human holiday?

It's SUPER important!

...Huh.

[Moving on.]

...War, kid. Millenia of it. Say we've pegged in a couple hundred thousand years fightin' over the planet. Cept when the dust cleared...not much left of it to save.

...But can't you like rebuild it or something?

Not that simple, kid.

[He reaches up, rubbing the back of his neck. How to explain this...he's not too up on the technical aspect of his planet, but he'll try.]

See, planets got this...life force. And when that dies, the planet dies. Can't bring that back no matter how much ya rebuild.
