003 ♥ Other Other

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora was sleeping on that beach in the Astral Plane for a couple hours earlier today, but some time has passed since then. He's walking along the wet shoreline now, hands in his pockets, as if waiting for someone to come find him. Sometimes he mutters something to himself, but it would be difficult to hear unless you were standing right next to him.]

Can't be that...

...don't want...

They're all different, but kind of... not...

I'm still... ...right...?

Yeah, right.

[And Sora has been found! Roxas approaches him, and he hears him talking, but he has to strain to hear what he's saying. Alas, he only manages to catch the last word.]

Are you okay?

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora looks up, blinking as he sees Roxas.]

Oh. Hey, Roxas! [Have a small smile.] I'm doing great. Why do you ask?

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

So d'you talk to yourself a lot then? [Your secret's safe with Roxas!]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Eheh... Sometimes. I keep forgetting that more people can hear me when I'm here.

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

It'd probably be a better idea to talk to yourself when you're in the safety of your own room. [Smiles.]

What were you talking about? If you don't mind my asking.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Right, right. [Sora smiles back. >:]

Oh, just... thinking about the people I've met on the Astral Plane so far. Some of them are different... but in some ways they haven't changed a bit.

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

Ah, you mean that whole "different realities" thing?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Hooray, a beach! Amaterasu comes over to play in the sand and water, then she sees Sora walking by. She trots up to him (slowly since others have been startled by a wolf randomly walking up to them), leaving her usual trail of grass and flowers sprouting from the sand.]

Hello, child. You seem troubled.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Blink blink. Another talking animal. Thank goodness she's not running up to him like Cy did.]

Huh? Not at all.

[...Grass and flowers? Sora's staring. Just a little.]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt.] Oh? The way you were talking to yourself, you seemed worried about something. [She probably heard it all; wolves have good hearing.]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Well... it's kind of hard not to be at least a little worried, after what happened on the Astral Plane a while ago.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, I heard about that. I was not here for it, but what an unfortunate event! I do hope you were not harmed.

What is your name, child? Your scent is interesting...similar to the man with the pink hair. I never did catch his name.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head.] I wasn't, but someone I know was. He's back now, at least.

[The scent of a Nobody, then.] I'm Sora. Pink hair... Guy in a black coat? You must have met Marluxia, then.

[Demyx is sitting on a nearby rock and peers down at you]

Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Oh, look up, Sora! It's your former BFF but not! :|]

Kind of like IV?

[bardic-song.livejournal.com]

[Demyx starts to laugh]

Yep.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora starts to laugh, too, as he approaches the rock Demyx is sitting on.]

No worries, I don't get too carried away with it.

[bardic-song.livejournal.com]

[shifts over a bit so Sora can come down, no he has gotten used to the idea of parallel worlds]

Good to hear, brat.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[This would be Sora stopping and blinking a little.]

Not against sitting with a traitor?

[rosenoblivion.livejournal.com]

[whether it's out of habit or not, Marluxia has taken to exploring this plane with his hood up. just in case. but he wasn't expecting to see a beach among the stretch of stars. nor a keybearer. as he's been told by xiii that there were two Soras here, he only watches the boy. after all, he has no idea what the other Sora is like]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[For now, Sora's oblivious to Marluxia's presence. He continues walking along the shoreline, and at one point, stops to stare out at the small expanse of ocean.]

...Maybe he would've liked this place... ...for the better...

[He kneels down in the sand to pick up a small rock, then skips it across the water's surface.]

[rosenoblivion.livejournal.com]

[observes for a few more moments, and then decides to approach him]

Reminiscing?

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora stops, taking a moment before he turns around. He already knows who it is, even with the hood up.]

So you're here, too.

[rosenoblivion.livejournal.com]

[faint smirk before reaching up and lowering the hood with the obligatory scattering of petals]

So it seems.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[There's some faint amusement at Marluxia's girly flower petal show.]

Haven't seen that in a while.
