video | un: SORA!

Sure have been a bunch of people going back to sleep lately, huh.

[Sora's usually a pretty upbeat kind of kid, and he's trying to not to look glum as he sits in a notably empty shack in Wyver.]

Sorry, I know a lot of people have already said that, I don't wanna sound like a broken record or anything. If anyone's been trying to get hold of Terra lately, he went back to sleep and it doesn't look like he's planning on waking up again anytime soon.

[That had been a sad discovery. While he's glad his new friend doesn't have to be awake and missing his friends anymore, it doesn't mean Sora doesn't miss him. He hasn't know him for very long, but in that short time he had been a good friend.

And on that thought... he takes a deep breath before adding:]

And Riku's sleeping again too, but I'm sure he's gonna wake up again real soon. You know Riku, he's never out of the picture for too long! He'll be awake again before anyone even misses him.

[Well that's just a lie, Sora misses him already.]

I just... y'know. Thought people should know.

[And then he forces a big smile onto his face as if he's not feeling completely alone and sad and tries to change the subject. Distraction tactic? What distraction tactic.]

Hey, it's not long to go 'til Halloween! Does anyone know where to get a good pumpkin from? It's not a proper Halloween without a pumpkin!

[Oh man, dinosaurs! Sora may or may not have dressed up as dinosaur for Halloween when he was little.

But wait, no, focus.]

Well what about Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King? Have you heard of him? He's in charge of Halloween.

Sorry, that's not ringing any bells for me.

[ though it sounds like something that belongs in a children's holonovel of sorts, but she isn't going to insult this person by voicing that. ]

[happylocksmith]

It's not? Are you sure? Maybe he's got a different name where you come from, he's real tall and skinny, wears a suit... has a skeleton head?

[It might sound like he's from a holonovel or a stop-motion holiday classic or an increasingly convoluted series of video games but he's definitely real!]

[ a shake of her head, shrug of her shoulders. ]

Is this something that's celebrated on Earth?

[happylocksmith]

I thought it was something that got celebrated on all the worlds...

It must sound kinda weird if you've never had it, huh.

[directives]

Oh, I wouldn't say it sounds weird so much as foreign. And just because I've never heard of it doesn't mean it wasn't celebrated at one time on Earth. A good portion of the holidays that were once celebrated are no longer observed in my century.
