First Keychain ღ Video

[namedforthesky]

[When the video comes into focus, it's showing a panicked girl. Not that anyone would be able to tell otherwise, due to her young age and less-than-mature figure. It's Sora, and she's pulled on her usual jacket and her crown necklace over the shift--far too worried to change completely.]

Wh-Where am I!? Where are my Islands!? Has anyone seen a Riku or a Kairi!?

[She's gripping at her hair, pulling at the spikes slightly. She looks around at the garden slightly, still obviously confused and distraught. This isn't her home, or anywhere near to what it should be. She's never seen any place like this! And considering that she just watched and fought as her home fell apart around her, she's not too sure about what to do.]

Please... Is there anything anyone can tell me!?

Let's see: "the Gardens", not here, no, and hello.

[Yeah, she just answered your questions in order]

[namedforthesky]

The Gardens...?

[And now Sora looks almost defeated. Nowhere near the Islands? That's not something she wants to hear. Of course, this also brings up other questions. She saw her world crumbling, but this place is... Not crumbling.]

Is... Is this another world...!?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is.

[namedforthesky]

Other worlds... Actually exist...

[That almost has her excited. They'd grown up with stories of a boy who found ways to other worlds. But never, ever had they actually confirmed that other worlds existed.]

Wait until Riku and Kairi hear about this! Now I just have to find them...

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

They may not be here.

Hey, hey, calm down. Stressing yourself out about this isn't going to make the situation any easier, alright? Just relax, and take deep breaths.

I haven't heard from anyone by those names, but then, I haven't been here that long myself. All I can tell you is you might be stuck here a while, so until someone finds a way out, you'll need to bear with it.

You gonna be alright? If there's anything else you need, tell me.

[namedforthesky]

It's hard to calm down! I just woke up somewhere strange, not in my clothes and without any idea where I am or how I got here!

[Not to mention, she could only fight off strange, black creatures as her home fell apart. With a giant key. ...Yeah, she's gonna go with it.]

I can't just sit here and wait when my friends could be in trouble!

[that-one-guitar.livejournal.com]

If it helps, your clothes should be nearby, and you aren't the only one in this situation. That means you aren't the only one who wants a way out, let alone the only one looking. I understand why you might be worried, but yelling at a mirror isn't going to help anyone.

Like I said, I really do want to help, and I'll do it in any way I can. I can't do that, though, if you don't let me. Sound fair?

[namedforthesky]

Yeah, I already found my clothes. I just...

[A heavy sigh.]

...A lot's happened. My first priority's finding my friends--anyone from the Islands!

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

You're the unwilling guest of a very confused woman who has dubbed herself the Queen of Hearts. It's unlikely that your female friends are here, and any of your male friends that are will... will be female versions of themselves from worlds similar to your own. [She pauses, and gulps; that thought, and the next wasn't pleasant.] Likewise, some may recognize your male counterpart; be prepared for that.

I'm a fellow prisoner. My name is Anna Lin.

[namedforthesky]

P-Prisoner!? Male... Counterpart...?

[Sora is now confused. This... Doesn't make sense.]

Th-Thanks, I guess...

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

I understand it's a lot to take in. This place is very... unlike my world. It takes getting used to.

[namedforthesky]

I've just... Been through a lot today. A-And I really need to know that my friends are okay...

[The picture Sora will receive in time through the mirror will be that of a blank-faced blonde woman. Her eyes are wide with shock, but it doesn't quite reach the rest of her expression. But it's only a few seconds before Larxene regains her cool. Were the Vine running purely on electricity, a very large stretch of it would be fried beyond repair. The sound crackles and snaps as she speaks.]

What's the matter, Sora? Are you lost?

[namedforthesky]

[She's going to star and blink a moment. Well, it's got her mind off of the whole loss of her home for the moment.]

...Do I know you?

[dacryphiliac.livejournal.com]

Don't you remember?

[There's a bit more edge to her voice there. How dare Sora not remember her.]

[namedforthesky]

Remember what? I've never even left the Islands until now. So unless you're from there, I've never met you.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Hey. [ ] Any of this starting to make sense yet?

[namedforthesky]

Not really...

[She's visibly deflated by now, still worried but no longer seeming to have the energy to do anything just yet.]

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Okay. I know how that goes. [ ] Let's see if I can actually be helpful once. Er, my name's Stephanie Brown, for the record! What's confusing you most of all? I know there's a lot to be confused about, but. Gotta start somewhere, right?

[namedforthesky]

I'm Sora.

[And now she's gonna be telling a long story, so a deep breath.]

Everything? Because the last thing I remember before waking up here was my home falling apart, and fighting all these weird things and my friends disappearing. Nothing's really making any sense today.

1/2

[mnementomori]

[there's no doubts this time. She waves her hand hastily at the mirror, but it stubbornly refuses to disappear.]

[Sora. It's Sora. He--she, it doesn't matter--is awake and she shouldn't be here--]

[Xion scrambles to her feet, hands clasped to her chest, frozen in confusion. Should she speak? Run? What would happen if they met? It might be a disaster. She might cause trouble for everyone again...]

2/2

[mnementomori]

[But no doubt she's already been seen. She turns away from the mirror, for once not even trusting her hood to hide her face. She'd considered this after meeting the other Sora, the cheerful girl with red hair, and getting a scare, but it seemed to ridiculous that she had dismissed it.]

[she has no idea what to say. What can she say?]

[her voice is soft, but to someone who knows Kairi, unmistakable.]

I'm--...sorry. They're not here.

[namedforthesky]

[Indeed, Xion's already been seen, and all Sora can do is stare a bit at her antics. However, when she speaks... Sora's heart nearly jumps into her throat. That voice...!]

Kairi!?

[mnementomori]

[hidden from sight, her eyes widen. Her heartbeat feels erratic--she's panicking. She's never felt more like a walking, talking lie--]

[she shakes her head.]


I'm not Kairi.
