Open KH Mingle

[keybearer]

[You are here. You probably made a wrong turn down that dark corridor. Maybe your Gummi Ship got knocked off course. Maybe you just felt like a change of scenery, or maybe you already lived here.

Regardless, you've stumbled upon Radiant Garden in all its glory. The flowers are in bloom, the fountains flowing. Or perhaps you're less fortunate and ended up here or even here. Time's in a bit of a flux. Open corridors link from one version to the other.

And for those uninterested in sight seeing, there are other activities to enjoy. Several moogles seem to have set up booths with snacks, items, and a synthesis shop. There's a sale on sea salt ice cream, and for thrill seekers, plenty of Heartless lurking in the shadows.]

[ooc: Just a general post for KH mingling. Other Disney and Square Enix characters are welcome, too. Doubles and AUs are all welcome.]

[Being called Master is still a very new, very strange thing. The kind of thing that would leave her laughing sheepishly, like the time she and Terra had when Ven had given them the passes to Disney Town - "bring two grown ups." The feeling is about the same - she felt little more like a grown-up then she now feels like someone ready to be called Master, the way she and Terra and Ven had all called Eraqus Master... But that was all beside the point now.

It's also slightly endearing coming from Sora, whom - even from the little time the four of them have been living together in the same place - she could already tell was never much for decorum and formality. It's enough to bring a smile to her face, despite the circumstances.

She lets him finish, even though his response is all the more worrying in how little it answers. Still, she tries to keep that concern off her face for now, reaching a hand forward to ruffle Sora's hair reassuringly.]

No, you're not. I'm just trying to understand what happened. You shouldn't be able to just leave home like that.

[Which led to the question... how did he?]

Are you sure you don't remember anything? No doors or portals, or anything like that? [Another thought occurs to her] Were Master Terra and Riku with you, before you got here?

[They weren't here with Sora now, which seemed to indicate no... all the same depending how long Sora had been gone, the two of them were probably worried sick by now.]

jafweio;h

[He giggles when she ruffles his hair, and instantly his smile comes back - yay, she's not mad!

It's really true, though - he has no idea what happened. It's like he just went poof and wound up somewhere else. He shakes his head before answering out loud.]

Nope, nothing like that. And...[Hmm] Oh yeah, they were already in the kitchen. Riku was helping Master Terra make lunch!

[Which he still hasn't had.

This will likely be an issue soon.]

[... yeah she's been around him long enough to know that'll be a problem if not addressed. And that said problem will present itself before they're able to get home, most likely, even if they were to leave now.]

Oh really? So you haven't eaten yet?

[The question of how he got here still exists, of course, but if Sora doesn't know he doesn't know. She doubts she'll get any more answers from him at this point, if there are even any to be had. Instead she just needs to get him home soon, then she and Terra can go over the castle's defenses.

She honestly wishes she knew a way to let Terra know she had Sora with her, so he and Riku wouldn't worry as much. There had to be a way - Eraqus had certainly been able to contact the other Masters remotely before now. Maybe she could speak to Yen Sid at some point, to ask how to do so...

Still, for now she has Sora to look after.]

[connectedsky]

Um...

[Oh yeah, he never-

His stomach growls right on cue. In all the excitement, he had forgotten about actually being hungry.]

...no.

[And now for the most pathetic look you ever did see on a small child.]

I think I'm hungry.

[gracefulentrance]

[Oh no not that face. Honestly Sora could've given Ven a very significant run for his money when it came to kicked puppy looks. Of course Sora has the much smaller proportions and baby fat to help reinforce any kind of adorableness. He could probably weaponize it all too easily if they weren't careful.]

Well, we should probably try to fix that before too long.

[Which likely means as soon as they find a place that serves food. She stands up, reaching out a hand for him to grab. It made it easier to reign him in - since chances were if she wasn't careful he'd be off to investigate something he'd spotted. Sora's curiosity knew no bounds.]

So what were Riku and Master Terra making?"

[connectedsky]

[Sora happily takes her hand, almost instantly feeling better when he does - everything seems a lot less big and daunting with someone else there. Especially Aqua! She knows everything about other worlds, right?

At her question he scrunches up his face, thinking back a bit. Hmm...]

I dunno! I was busy, so I didn't ask.

[he had very important things to do!!!]

But it smelled really good.
