[here, have a Sora in mid-grinny-laughy-conversation] --t that didn't stop-- ....huh? Wait a second-- Donald? Goofy? [there's some epic confusion on his face. he takes a few steps onto the Astral Plane, arms folded over his chest, and then pauses to scratch his head sheepishly. realization dawns!]

...Oh. Right. So I ended up here again, huh? [looks around] Donald and Goofy weren't here last time, either... This is pretty weird.

Well, uh... [big lopsided grin] Hi again.

Comments

[contract_star]

Ah, hello Sora.

Now, which one are you?

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Hey! How is everything Li?

...Which one what?

[contract_star]

[Smiles.] Alright, I guess.

[Scratches the back of his head.] You both look so similar, so it's not as easy as with Mr. Tyler and the Master. Ah, let's see. Are you the Sora who arrived a few days ago, or the Sora who arrived a few weeks ago? [Sheepish chuckle.] Sorry if I'm being rude...

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

[headtilt] "I guess" sounds pretty unsure.

Both...huh? Wait, I haven't been here in a while, how could I have been here a few days ago? [epic confusion is epic] That's pretty impossible I think.

[contract_star]

[Smiles.] Work has been tough, but it's nothing to worry about.

Really? Ah...well there's a second "Sora" around here, somewhere. He arrived a few days ago. I expect you'll see him, eventually.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get it! Work can be like that. [sagely nod, which looks more goofy than sagely, really]

[there's a pause as Sora's face goes through several changes: surprise, then confusion, then complete brain-breakyness; back to confusion, and then to surprise for the win] ...I didn't know I had a twin. Or...more like a double? A clone? Something like that?

[contract_star]

It can indeed.

[Watches him sort it out and then smiles a little.] An alternate "you," I think. Both of you are Sora--just different versions. At least that's how I think it works.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Huh. [deeply contemplative look] Well I guess if there really are that many different worlds... Does stuff like that happen a lot around here?

[contract_star]

Hm, well...not too often, I think. There were multiple versions of Roxas, though I'm pretty sure one of them is gone now. The trouble is that it can happen, to anyone.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

So I could come here sometime and run into a different version of someone I know?! [oh god the possibilities! o_O] That's...that's really weird.

[contract_star]

[Chuckles.] Weird...and a little frightening.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

That too. Still, the other me seems pretty nice, so it can't be all bad, right?

[contract_star]

[Smiles at him.] Right.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

[grins] So, besides a double-version, what have I missed lately?

[contract_star]

[Considers.] Hm, not much I think. There was an explosion and a sort-of deathmatch, but those were a little while ago.

Ohhh shit.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

...

[Hi, Sora. Have another Sora staring at you from a distance.]

Re: Ohhh shit.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

...

[is being stared at]

[....by himself?! this would be a double-take. he approaches with caution, checking to make sure he hasn't found a mirror]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora does a similar double-take in turn, but he stands still, as if his shoes are nailed to the floor.]

[...If only he had more time to think their first meeting through.]


...Uh. Hey there. [He gives a half wave, still looking stunned.]

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

[Congratulations, the Sora's brain has been broke'd. There is a list somewhere, possibly, of all the things Sora never expected to happen; this would indeed be at the top of the list.]

H- [Sora stops himself before saying exactly the same thing as, er, Sora. That would be just a bit too weird. He offers a bewildered, sheepish grin after a while.] Well, uh. Hi, me.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[The greeting makes Nobody!Sora laugh slightly.] Hi.

[He scratches the back of his head, looking down for a moment (at the other Sora's shoes that are exactly the same).] I... I kept hearing about you, but I couldn't believe it at first.

[He then looks back up.] Are you... from the same reality as the Roxas that comes here?

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

[Sora grins haphazardly] Heh! I don't quite believe it either! But... [Leans in to study the other, hands on hips, looking like he's concentrating very hard for a moment before nodding satisfactorly] I guess we're pretty close.

Well, I thought so, but... [Brows furrow a bit] I didn't know there were different versions of people like this at all.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora leans away, just a little bit, with a o_o kind of expression on his face. There's a nod.] Appearance-wise.

[Dare he bring it up?] ...Sora? [Gah, this sounds so weird, talking to himself.]

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [scratches his head] I guess if we're from different worlds, things'd be different huh?

[Yeah this is just about the weirdest thing since having to learn to walk on 4 legs. Or maybe having no legs. Hmm.] What is it Sora?

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[He opens his mouth to ask something, but closes it before he can, holding his chin in his hand as he thinks. ...No, not yet. Ask something else. Sora looks up again.] What's the last thing you were doing before you got to the Astral Plane?

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

[headtilt] Me, Donald and Goofy were at Hollow Bastion...uh, Radiant Garden actually. What about you?

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora looks surprised at the other boy's answer.] I... Uh, I was in Twilight Town. With Roxas.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Twilight Town? [totally doesn't get the surprise] I haven't been there in a while.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

You... didn't stay?

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

I couldn't. People were counting on me.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[There's a lot of thinking going on.]

Who? [The Organization?]

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Riku and Kairi, of course. Everyone from H- Radiant Garden...Mulan, Ariel, Aladdin, all of them! We've been trying to stop Organization XIII before they do something bad.

[pauses, blinks at Sora] Your situation is different?

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Oh. You're fighting Organization XIII, too?

...Kind of.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

[folds his arms over his chest, face quirking into a little frown] I guess they like causing trouble all over the place, huh?

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they did. [Silent regret over being used by them goes here!] Bunch of no-good troublemakers.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Right down to kidnapping. [snakes his head disapprovingly] Total-- what's the word? ...Delinquents!

Hey, I guess our worlds aren't that much different if that's the same.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Delinquents.

Haha, I guess not. [He smiles.]

Hmm... I wonder, though. Do you know any Nobodies with human shapes? Aside from Organization XIII?

[lamb_of_gold]

Ah, there you are.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Yep! Guess I've been gone a while, huh? [rubs the back of his head] Sorry about that, I was pretty busy for a while there!

[lamb_of_gold]

I'd thought, perhaps, that you'd disappeared. Another version of yourself appeared the other day.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Disappeared? Does that happen a lot to people here? [brows furrow]

[lamb_of_gold]

Occasionally. They simply never come back.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Oh...

I guess there are some worlds people just don't go back to, huh?

[lamb_of_gold]

So it would seem.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

[a thoughtful pause]

Well...I think I'll give this place a try. It's one of the weirdest worlds I've been to, but that doesn't mean I don't want to come back.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

Ah, hello. I don't believe we've met. Have you only recently gained access to this place?

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh, no, we haven't! I found this place a while ago, but I haven't been able to come back 'til now.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

Ah, is that so? Well then, welcome back! [Smiles.] I am Albus Dumbledore.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks! [broad grinning ensues] I'm Sora. It's nice to meet you.
