Guidance of the open skies (Sora, closed event starter)

[downtoearthstargazer-blog]

Clay had to give a bemused grin about the other apparently having been just as sidetracked by the sheer wonder of the skies as himself, before waving off the apology with a carefree, relaxed arm.  "Well, you don’t really need to apologize, then, seeing as I was doing the exact same thing! Being locked inside a school with no windows and no little view of the outside world - it sure makes you appreciate the beauty of the night sky even more, ya know? …Ah, but here I am making a big sappy scene about this, sorry!"

Though, the person who appears to be wearing at least five different layers of sweaters and warm stuff makes Clay realize that worrying about ‘sappy’ is thankfully something he doesn’t have to do here with this guy. Hey, awesome to see someone else enthusiastic about the night sky, and his grin only increased all the more for it. “Well, I guess we can’t exactly see eeeverything - we’d need a really big telescope, and even then, space goes on forever, but who knows! Maybe we might even see familiar stars that remind us of home. It’s a nice reminder that though this school can be scary: the skies watching over us, the stars…they’ll never change, and always be there waiting, heh.”

Clay was capable of waxing serious thoughts - but he just only did them rarely, like now, where the beauty of the stars moved him to say such things. 

"…Ooops! Being too serious again. That’s silly of me, but I really love space that much, I guess! It makes sense ya haven’t seen me, I’m pretty new here - my name’s Clay Terran! Nice ta meetchya, Sora!"

With that, the space enthusiast stuck out his gloved hand to offer a handshake to the other.

[connectthehearts]

As the guy talks and talks and talks about stars and stuff, Sora can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of relief. The people around here had been pretty unfriendly or just plain weird, which the latter, he figures, is okay. But still. It's nice to hear just genuine enthusiasm. Even if he kinda sorta talks a lot. Well, he's been around Donald enough to be used to it. And anyway, it's nice after the silence he's endured the past few days.

"You know Clay, you kinda remind me of my friend from back home. He used to talk about how big and connected the worlds were, and wanting to see it all." There's a moment where he just wants to just cry because he misses Riku and Kairi and everyone, but he quickly pulls on a grin, and shakes Clay's outstretched hand eagerly. 

"Yeah, it's nice to meet you, too." He pulls away, and then shoves his hand quickly back into his coat pocket. "Sooooo... Wanna make a snowman?"

Okay, so maybe that's a little weird, but in his defense he's been wanting to make one since he got here. He hasn't ever made one before, this is his chance!

Guidance of the open skies (Sora, closed event starter)

There are many worlds, and they share the same sky - one sky, one destiny.

Alright, Clay knew that out of all of the ideas that were risky and Apollo yelled at him about (if someone of his other friends did not beat him to it) - this one probably took the cake. Willingly going out of his ‘cabin’ late at night, when vicious animals like wolves, or worse, bears, may be about? Yeah, it was totally dangerous, but he’d always been a risk-taker when it came to things he really wanted to do: and this was a big one.

To see the stars, the moon again after being locked inside…of course, a SHSL Space Enthusiast like himself could hardly be blamed for being willing to take those risks in order just to see the stars again. The expanses of open sky and the possibility that the cold would only make the stars seem all the brighter: he didn’t care if he was exhaling little bits of ‘mist’ now and again, it would be worth it if he just saw such a brilliant sight again!

The snapping of twigs nearby alerted Clay from his day-dreaming like smile and his staring at the clouds as it seemed to grow later, the male tensing and raising his arms if he had to throw a few punches to get away…but no, it wasn’t a wild animal close by at all, but another student. Lowering his arms in a relieved manner, the black-haired male adjusted his space cap as he spoke, there.

"Gosh, you surprised me…didn’t expect to see someone else trying to see if it was possible to stay up late! Did you come to star-gaze as well, huh?"

Clay’s curious look seemed a little excited at the prospect of another person who might love star-gazing and space, too.

As he walks in the snow, tucked in on himself, Sora wonders how it's possible to be nearly the exact same temperature outside that it is in his room. Yeah, Monobear said there wasn't heat, but come on! He has to be pumping cold air in too, because this is just ridiculous. 

Sora didn't know it was possible to layer 3 jackets on top of each other, but he managed it. He also managed to become a human marshmallow through his efforts, but hey. He's cozy. He doesn't even care how his spiky hair looks under a tight beanie. He is Ready for some awesome snow adventures. 

Well, he isn't so much focused on the snow this time around. The stars are what he cares about tonight. It feels like ages since he's seen such a clear sky. Maybe... maybe since Destiny Island's. The skies there were always beautiful, whether it was the warm, pink shades of a sunrise or sunset, the perfect blue afternoon sky dotted with fluffy clouds, or the star-ridden deep navy of the night.

He walks with his hands buried deep in his pockets and his eyes fixed on the sky, not really paying attention to any particular direction he's going. He wonders if one of those twinkling dots is Destiny Islands, or Radiant Gardens, or even Twilight Town. Sigh.

Sora startles to a stop when he hears a voice call out, who sounds equally surprised to see him as he is to having found him. He grins, and rubs the back of his head (which is hard, considering how puffy with coats he is right now). 

"Sorry! I wasn't really paying attention myself."

He perks up at how friendly this guy is being. "Yeah, I was actually! I haven't seen such pretty skies since I was back home. I feel like I can see everything!" Sora flails his arms up to the sky to gesture to 'everything,' and then glances back to the other. "Hey, I'm Sora, by the way. I don't think I've seen you around yet." 

[connectthehearts]

He lived on an island his whole life, and only ever visited a few snowy worlds during his adventures. His skin is permanently a dark tan. He grew up in shorts and t-shirts. This snow? Nope. It was going good at first, but after the initial excitement wore off and he realized that, hey, the magic the fairy godmothers bestowed on his clothes didn't seem to be keeping him warm anymore and he has no freaking heat in his room... He's already dreaming of crashing waves and hot sun on his face. Whiiiine.

Hopefully the multiple layers of coats, hats, gloves, and scarves will keep him warm enough through the event. At least his shoes work well in the snow. Hah.

[claussanta]

And here he was, in Classroom O. The small chapel was still there, and everything seemed in order. At least the spiked haired kid didn’t mess everything up, which was kinda good. Santa sits on one of the chairs and hears the boy’s introduction. Sora… Sky. Weird name, but hey, who is he to talk about weird names?

"Santa. Like Santa Claus." That was not actually his real name, but yes a code name. He wasn’t going to say his real name to strangers, even though it doesn’t even matter because Monobear actually knows his name; but Santa honestly didn’t care. 

"So, what’s your deal? You look kinda weird. Where are you from?" Yeah, his shoes and outfit are something out of a video game or something. Sora was a weird kid.

[connectthehearts]

Sora plops down on one of the desks in the room, and pulls his legs up so he sits cross-legged on the surface. He tilts his head a bit at the other's introduction, and then smiles again.

"Seriously?!" He lets out a laugh. "Santa Claus? I know Santa Claus. Like, the big guy with the beard and stuff. He's got all his elves around and everything."

After a moment, he drops his hands back down to his lap, and rocks back and forth some on the desk as he speaks. "You know what? I'm gonna ignore that comment. I'm from Destiny Islands. It's these tiny little islands surrounded by lotsa water. It's kinda boring, but it's home. What about you?" 

[connectthehearts]

A whole new roommate! Wow! Just for him. Hopefully they can be friends, especially considering the rotten luck he's had (sort of) already with some of the people around here.

[connectthehearts]

libraries suck

He can't believe it. He's in a library. Of all the places to go, he's managed to end up here, looking only slightly curious, but mostly tired. He's been too antsy to sleep the past few days, even though he's had a room all to himself. It's left him with more than enough time to wander the halls and rooms... And really, the library was one of the final places he hasn't even touched yet. 

This place deeefinitely doesn't compare to the library at Beast's castle. Oh well. Maybe it has some comics laying around that he could read. He hasn't read one in ages.

Sora approaches one of the tables with plenty of magazines and books scattered about it. He randomly picks one up, flips it over, and inspects the cover. 

It's a parenting magazine. It's literally just full of baby pictures and recipes for Fun yet Healthy meals. He drops it on the table, and then quickly realizes that most of the magazines are definitely nowhere near his spectrum of interests. SIGH. 

Behind him, he thinks he hears a door open, so he turns his head toward the sound, calling out, "Hello? Who's there?" A person? Maybe! Way more exciting than books! 

[connectthehearts]

hey friends like for a starter i'll do as many as i can!! 

[connectthehearts]

☢Drabbles - adventure

Riku may have been the one to come up with the idea of sailing off the island via raft, but it didn't take much convincing on his end to get Sora to join in on the plan. After all, adventure, sword fighting, exploring dark caves -- he's been doing it since he could practically walk! 

Though he misses his home and friends when he's out flying from world to world with Donald and Goofy, it's always exciting to land on a new, unexplored land. Who will he meet this time? What sort of treasure will he find? Will he have to fight some heartless or bad guys, or will he learn a new spell? It's always something new, and Sora is equally pumped each time.

But he isn't quite sure he would call his time here at this school an adventure... At least, not an adventure he wants. 

[connectthehearts]

mastermind

☢Mastermind - A drabble in which your character is the mastermind.

There was a time when Sora would help anyone, friend and foe alike. He would put his life on the line for the smallest world, the smallest problem, if it meant making someone happy. There was a time when his heart could overcome darkness, and was a beacon in the dark realm from which his friends found home. 

But, it turned out, not even he could stay completely immune to the darkness.

As he watches his fellow students murder and convict each other with a mask of a goofy smile, there is a part of him that cries out in despair, wondering how he could let such horrible, treacherous things happen.

A voice sounds in his head, as if in answer: "Darkness is the heart's true essence." After all this time, Sora realizes that Ansem was right all along. 

And so, he lets the darkness consume the students, the school -- and him.

Santa slowly gets up and looks at the boy. His hair was as ridiculous as his shoes, and his blue eyes were kinda pretty. It was almost like he was an anime kid or something, not that the white-haired boy could say anything. Oh well. At least he is a little polite; saying ‘sorry’ for bumping into him. Well, whatever. Santa honestly didn’t care so much. 

"Whatever, spike haired kid." He starts moving towards the classroom. After all, he came here to pray. The small chapel in Classroom O really interested him. Praying for her sister to be okay… praying for him to meet her again. "What are you doing here, though? Are you just exploring?"

[connectthehearts]

Whatever? Jeez, this guy is sure a charmer. But Sora's happy that he doesn't persist with being rude, like some of the other people he happened to run into during his short time here. He can deal with that. In fact, he's over it already.

When the other starts to move into the classroom, Sora scoots to the side a little, and then follows him in. "Oh, you know. Just wondering around, I guess. I'm still kinda new here..."

He feels like he hasn't made any friends here yet and that is horrible, bad, terrible. He's gotta amp up his game, especially considering everyone here seems to have some sort of chip on their shoulder. 

"I'm Sora, by the way. What's your name?"

The nerve of a poor kid for laughing!! The nerve of him to laugh at some poor sap’s unfortunately sized shoes! Better than laughing at his bell shorts, right? He’s asking for a little poking from a natural douchebag like Smile.

"You’re right, you’re right, my bad."

A laugh. The more Sora tells him to stop laughing (or whispers it, honestly Smile would disobey even unheard requests) he’ll just laugh more. Laughter is good for the soul. Good for his soul, anyways. Smile is prone to grins and laughter. That’s just how he is.

Idle, the boy halted in his laughter, hammer swung over his shoulders and body weight shifted to one side. "Haaa, my thoughts from before must have been louder than your wardrobe, sheesh I can’t even hear myself thinking now! Mommy’s got no fashion sense if she sent you to boarding school with those clothes."

"Maybe she hated you that much. Who knows!" Fairy godmothers are mischievous, middle-aged shits, man. Don’t listen to them.

[connectthehearts]

Sora manages to relax for just a few seconds before the guy is laughing again, grinning and mocking him all over again. The clothes and stuff -- that he can deal with. Mentioning his mom though?! First of all how dare him. Second of all he hasn't seen his mom in years. But he knows for a FACT she doesn't hate him! 

"You crossed the line, buster!" 

He doesn't really think. He just kind of... leaps on him. No intention to kill him or anything! Just to rough him up a little, or something. He really needs to apologize, considering all he's done is be a major jerk.

Sora manages to cling onto the other's back while simultaneously giving him a noogie. Yeaaaaaaaah. Make him pay. Yeehaw. Ride him cowboy. 

[claussanta]

{ my choice | sora. }

Well, here he is in the fourth floor. He has nothing better to do, to be honest— he didn’t explore this school enough; so he’s now exploring. Maybe find some monocoins or some clue about the mastermind. That would be great. Santa is now in front of Classroom O, where he goes to pray. He considers entering a third time, but he’s interrupted by someone that leaves the room running. They bump on Santa, making him fall.

Aaaaaaaand now he’s staring at shoes. What kind of fucking shoes are that? "Did your mom buy you these?" 

[connectthehearts]

Exploration has been in his blood since he was young, so it's only fitting he cover the entire school (or at least the places he can go) as quick as he can. For the most part, the rooms aren't terribly interesting. Classrooms, bathrooms, more classrooms, hey! a pool!, and still more classrooms. It's a school. That's it. That's where he is. 

It makes him antsy, really. Enough to make him hop, skip, run around sometimes when he's moving between classrooms. Sure, he lived on a tiny island for most of his life, but that was still open. This place is just... sad. 

In retrospect, after running into yet another person, maybe he shouldn't run around in tight corridors. Oh well. 

"Sorry--" he starts to say, having knocked them over, and then frowns shortly after. "Oh come on, not you, too! What's the big deal?"

His shoes are Cool, okay!

This kid’s rich, thought the tattooed boy only briefly. He’s still laughing. Angry, troubled, worried for his sister’s safety, he kept on laughing in this poor brunet’s face. How unfortunate. How very, very unfortunate. A little annoying, but unfortunate all the same. It’s alright, Smile isn’t the sort of kid who would just swing his hammer on the first date, so to speak!

In a matter of seconds, his fit subsided into a few breathy chuckles, at long last he is able to stand upright without feeling the need to hunch over into yet another laughing fit. Apologize? Seriously!?

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. You bumped into me, shouldn’t you be apologizing? If not for that, then for those loud clown shoes of yours!" He couldn’t help another laugh, free hand combing through his messy hair in an attempt to calm himself. "Whew. No, seriously, did mommy dress you for school today?"

He did the bumping, but who cares? Pin it on the other kid. 

"Bad day" doesn’t even scratch the surface on the big book of What Crawled Up Smile’s Ass.

[connectthehearts]

The nerve of this guy! Laughing at his shoes now?! That is one step Too Far, and Sora immediately puffs up, looking highly offended. 

"If my shoes are so big and loud, then why didn't YOU hear me coming, huh?!" He questions, and then remembers that they should probably be quiet, considering it's night time and people are sleeping. He huffs out a breath, and then whisper-yells: "Stop laughing, you jerk!"

This is so Lame on so many levels. You'd think that in a place like this, where people are trying to kill each other left and right, you'd want to make friends and not offend everyone you happen to run into! 

Also, hey, his clothes were made by like, freaking magic. His mom definitely didn't -- Oh. Wait. Fairy God Mothers. Oh. Oh.

Hammer. Check.

His means of protection. A school of mutual killings. Smile couldn’t say that the scenario is unfamiliar to him, not at all. Hope’s Peak, though it promised a prestigious learning experience and a poor child like him could never hope to make it into an academy— not until today, of course. The academy itself is a setting simultaneously familiar and unknown to him, a world cut off from the outside. A world…

A world without his sister.

The realization alone brought the ravenet’s blood to a boil. What is she doing? How is she? Is she safe? Questions flooded the boy’s mind. They ran, and ran, and ran and ran and ran and it ran and ran and ran and Smile’s muscles tightened on cue. The thoughts ran

And ran

And ran and ran and ran, scenario after scenario after scenario. His teeth gnashed together, brows knitted together in a frustrated display. His steps are hurried, uneven, the grip on the hammer’s handle tight and relentless. He kept thinking. Thinking of her. His sister, alone, back home, with no one to safeguard her. Is she okay? Damn it. Damn it damn it. Damn it all. What sort of big brother is he!? He shouldn’t be leaving her alone like that. He shouldn’t. He really shouldn’t. He—

A collision was made. Now, Smile could be vicious and snap at the stranger. In fact, his lips hung open with all the intent in the world to fire off vicious words.

Instead, brief silence.

He kept his “gaze” fixated on the stranger, lips never fading from that crooked smile. One hand over his stomach. Smile erupts into laughter. Laughter, laughter laughter laughter.

"Hahahahaholy shit, look at you!" What’s he laughing at? The stranger, of course! He’s hunched over, cackling like a child who just heard the funniest joke in the world over some nondescript feature this stranger presented.

He could also be laughing in order to properly channel that agitation of his, but…

[connectthehearts]

Another night at this school (his second, to be exact), and yet still another night in the same boat he was yesterday. Sure, that other boy had warned him not to go out at night -- that's when all the bad guys like to do their Thing and that was totally lame of all of them -- but he figures he can handle himself anyway. He's not completely useless, after all. 

If it comes to it, he dooooes have his handy keyblade at the ready. But he still can't really believe a bunch of students would go around killing each other... Who even does that?

Unfortunately, this night doesn't seem to want to be as nice to him as the previous, as suddenly he's on his butt, having ran into a... rather strange looking dude? And he's laughing at him?! WHAT.

"Hey!" 

"You know, laughing isn't cool! That kinda hurt." Yeah, so it didn't really hurt, but this guy is being a total jerk. And that's the Opposite of okay in Sora's big book of okays. He stands up in a huff, brushes his pants off, and then crosses his arms over his chest.

"You should apologize."

What a weird guy... But maybe he's just having a bad day, too...

Go find someone?? No, someone will find you.

Unintentionally, of course. It’s very late and Eren’s out drifting through the halls until he can decide where he wants to stay for the night. For obvious reasons, he’s not too keen on returning to his dorm. But asking to move permanently into another’s room is… a little daunting, and kind of awkward depending on the host and their company.

It’s eerie and quiet, as per usual—but as soon as he spots another figure he’s surprised to have even run into anybody at all! At least, someone who seems to be… relatively normal. And not fucking psycho like half of the population that scours around in the darkness.

The guy looks like he’s unsure of his destination. And he’s unfamiliar, too. What a noob!

"Hey, I wouldn’t stay out too late if I were you. Do you know where your room is?" Boy Wonder Eren Jaeger can escort! Not like he’s got anything better to do.

[connectthehearts]

Sora is just in the middle of getting a little creeped out when a voice stirs him from his thoughts. He glances around, and spots a pretty normal looking guy, all things considered. He looks about his age too, so Sora immediately relaxes, and grins, throwing up an arm to wave. He probably looks overly excited, but he's just glad to see someone friendly!

"Hey!" But then his Brain kicks in, and then he follows up quickly with "Oh, yeah, uh, no? I'm in room 227 but I don't really know where that is... Also, I'm Sora." 

Why shouldn't he stay out late --- Oh, yeah. That whole killing thing. He can handle himself though...
