ATTEMPOT AT A PINNED POST
Sora, Ventus, and Roxas from Kingdom Hearts! Post-KH3, except the other two didn't get their own bodies back i guess? idk, just having fun!
*She recognizes you immediately, gasping softly, hiding behind a nearby tree before you see her. Naminé peeks out from behind it, taking a moment to make sure you’re Uranium and not Green. When she’s certain, she hides again, pulling out her sketchbook and drawing.
*After a moment, you realize there’s a new memory in your head. It’s of you and your daughter Naminé, going to the orchard to pick some apples.
*Naminé herself is still hiding, waiting to see how you react.
@keyblade-wielder-sora
*Uranium is minding his own business for once when he notices the memory. What is that doing there? The memory almost matches the fake memory he gave Tori — he has no second daughters?! What the hell?!*
*He looks around, searching for the source of the memory. This isn't his. He isn't supposed to have new memories of strangers!*
Show yourself!
*She tenses, working her powers quickly and chaining together more memories. About five, she hopes, should be enough to get you care for her enough. One of her drawing, one of everyone sitting down to eat, one of you putting her to bed, and even one of her having a breakdown. She thinks that one is pretty good.
*Then, she starts to run.
*Naminé has never been very fast, having never needed to be, as Kairi was never that athletic. Sure, she’d done volleyball and baseball, but both of those were sprinting more than running.
*So while Naminé can sprint, she can’t truly run, not to mention how she’s worse off than Kairi is, given that she hasn’t practiced at all.
*She really hopes you won’t hurt her. She did want a parent.
What in the fuck?
*He goes still — sorting through the new memories. Endearing almost, to see Naminé in them with his little pet and his little monster. Disturbing to have new memories... is this karma? No karma isn't real... poetic maybe...*
Alright why do you want me to think I have another kid? Huh?
*Naminé ends up tripping over a branch with a startled yelp, but upon realizing you’re not chasing her, she heads back in your direction. She peers out from behind the tree again, hesitating.
“U-um..I..”
*Oh god, why can’t she seem to speak? She doesn’t understand why it feels like her chest is pounding. Is she scared?
*She hugs her sketchbook close, failing to realize some mud got on the open page when she fell. Now you can see her, even if not much.
*He watches you, examining your threads and wondering who and what you are. Namimé, he recognizes. He is not stupid.*
*Affection swells against his better judgement. You did this to him. How manipulative. How adorable! Oh it would have been a dream to actually raise you and Tori as his little monsters with his sweet little pet as your other parents you're certainly endearing, so desperate for attention you'll resort to lies.*
Hello, Naminé. I suppose you're behind the memories? How did you even find out about them? Hm?
*She relaxes somewhat, stepping out from behind the tree. She’s thin, just like in your memories.
“Mhm. I, uh, Tori let me see them.”
*It isn’t a lie. She just doesn’t want Tori to get in trouble, and lying is easier after Castle Oblivion, despite being less instinctive than it is for some thanks to Kairi.
*He watches you, tracking your movements and finding himself surprised at the accuracy of the fake memories.*
Did she? And what did you see exactly?
“All of it. Not just what you added, she let me go through all of her memories. She really trusted me, which was, weird.”
*She isn’t used to people like Tori.
“I mean, it was kinda confusing, but also kinda cool, y’know? Oh, I wanted to ask about thread magic. It seemed cool, but I’ve only ever used my magic on stuff.”
*She flips through the corners of the pages in her sketchbook — an idle fidget, one even in your memories. She’s good. She knows herself, and she knows you.
“People aren’t hard to understand, when you get inside their heads.”
She is rather trusting of people, it's very sweet.
*Very exploitable too but oh well. He prefers that.*
*He watches her fidget and he still can't decide if he's livid with her tampering or endeared by it. The memories make him feel positively though... hm... perhaps a daughter that chose him would be nice.*
People are little more than dolls with emotion at the reigns.
You want to learn about thread magic? What do you know of it?
“Well, I- I know what you explained to Tori in that memory you gave her, and I know how you’ve used it to hurt her. I just- it didn’t make sense to me, the way you explained it to her?”
*You notice she’s still giving you more memories, and as she flips the page in her sketchbook — she’s been drawing them, as she gives them to you.
“A-and, um, not to be rude. But you didn’t seem very good at giving her memories.”
*She doesn’t mean the quality or believability of the memories, she means something else — something she doesn’t appear to realize you don’t know.
Yes... well everyone learns differently and my little monster has been surrounded by magic from birth.
*He has half a mind to take the sketchbook away to see if that stops the memories... and he's a little too curious and flattered to do so.*
... What does that mean? Because I did a very good job.
“The memories themselves are good. But- I didn’t even have to look at them to know which ones were fake. The way you did it messed up the chain. You added more, unconnected, made an entire new branch of the chain.”
“Is…. I guess that could be because of you using thread magic to do it, and because you didn’t want to change her like I had to change Sora.”
*She says it in a thoughtful tone, though she doesn’t notice it.
... huh.
*That... is what he did. He probably shouldn't yell at ypi for that. He did ask... hm...*
I didn't use thread magic. I was trying something new.
Who's Sora?
“Oh, you didn’t? Huh..”
“Oh, he’s the reason I exist, and a boy whose memories I had to change. I changed them back as best I could after his friend Riku asked me to, though.”
*She says it so calmly — not even realizing that her statement could be taken in any way other than the truth.
Huh. Is that so?
And you did it? Just because? You should really ask for more in return.
“Riku is.. I think he impressed me. I offered to make the darkness in his heart go away, and he said no. That he had to keep Sora safe.”
“I dunno. I just..Think he’s cool, I guess?”
*A pink cloud is approaching Sora, happily humming as he floats closer. He's following the feelings of Bird Boy! But you... oh! Ypu! He met ypu once! Ypu arena Bird Boy but ypu are connected!*
Hi not Bird Boy. What are you doing?
- @luherooflegend
*Sora looks up, as does the silver-haired boy next to him.
Oh, hey! I’m just hanging out with Riku.
*The other boy, Riku, waves in slight confusion.
“Hi..?”
This is Green! I met him a while ago, and while I don’t know why he’s a cloud now he’s still fun!
“Oh. Y’know, you make some weird friends, Sora.”
Yeah, like you!
*Sora giggles as he says it, and Riku only smiles, full of love for his catboy boyfriend.
Riku? Oh - hi!
*He's speaking that strange language of the gods but thankfully you seem to be naturally able to translate it.*
I'm a cloud cause I ascended and forms are hard. Cloud is much easier.
*He laughs.*
You two are funny. I like the way you look at eachother, nice to see on mortals.
“So…You’re a god?”
*Riku is no stranger to World Order magic letting him understand others, so he gives no reaction to it.
“Why are you like this, Sora.”
What? First I fight a god, now I befriend one! You can’t say that’s not something I’d do~
*Sora giggles as Riku rolls his eyes, though the older teen is smiling.
“Well of course I look at him like that, he’s my boyfriend~”
Riku- ack!- stop it!
*Now Sora is laughing as Riku makes kissy noises at him, cheeks red. Sora shoves Riku away, and Riku laughs too.
“Yeah, I get that about forms being hard. I have that issue too sometimes.”
*She sits curled up, not saying a word. She hadn’t truly intended to come here.. But company wouldn’t be bad. She hates being alone.
*Vanitas doesn’t think she wants to talk much. Not like she has much new to say, anyway.
@keyblade-wielder-sora (Vanitas)
*Ruhi sits next to her, content to stay in silence if that's what Vanitas wants right now, though the worry is eating her alive*
*She adjusts, shifting to lean against you. You’re warm, warmer than she is.
*After what feels like eternity, she speaks in a whisper.
Kids are stupid. Hylians are stupid.
*You get the sense she doesn’t mean stupid like dumb, and instead, just dislikes them.
*Ruhi smiles fondly* Well... It's a good thing I'm neither of those...
“Are you..Are you, serious? About the um. Adopting thing.”
*She doesn’t know if it includes her or not. She’s not Ven, she’s not Sora, she’s not Roxas.
*She doesn’t know if she wants it to.
“And um, how’s Ven doing?”
*She doesn’t really care about the other two losers. Just Ven.
*Ruhi takes Vani's hand* Little bat, I am very serious about it. And Ven, as far as I can remember, is doing fine. No need to worry about him.
*She blinks at the nickname, but nods when she says Ven is fine. She has to trust the other, that’s the best she can get.
*She doesn’t know how to ask if she’s included in the adoption list. She doesn’t think she would be - why would she, it’s not like she’s goodness incarnate, like Ven is.
*It might be nice to be wanted, for once. She can’t remember a time when she was. She thinks she just- wants to go home. She doesn’t know where home is.
*Ruhi smiles and holds out her arms for a hug*
Now, my little night terror, what would you like to do? I understand you've gone through too much and.... Well, I would be happy to cater to you in any way I could.
*She hesitates, but hugs Ruhi tight. She scoffs at the nickname, but it’s more amusement than dislike. She’s so much better than those stupid Nightmares, but she kinda likes the nickname.
“Mm..I don’t know. I want the cat back.. But, I’m not sure Jerkwad will actually do it. He’s got a couple other guys there. One’s named Pathos, who’s stupid despite his name and doesn’t wanna leave — Jerkwad probably messed with him — and I dunno the name of the other guy. Lot quieter though.”
“I just wanna leave, but I don’t want him to keep my cat.”
*Because that’s what it is — it’s hers, and frankly outside of upkeep Ruhi won’t be getting the robot back.
*Ruhi frowns at that* That shouldn't be possible... She's been programmed to to go t you immediately when you're in distress...
unless she's been damaged...
*Ruhi looks worried at that, then curses- an actual cuss in front of Vani, and not just any cuss, but a REALLY bad one in her native tongue that Vani only knows due to being connected to Ruhi's soul- before looking up at- well whatever was up there now*
...this is not good... I need to find you and I need to stop this awful man from.... whatever he's planning. And now, I need to save and fix the FC-046 after I programmed it to basically do that for you.
I must not have made its outer shell as well as I thought... No matter! I just need to patch it up for you and she's all yours!
*Ruhi smiles, but it was strained. She was clearly worried about Vani*
“Might be the magic he set up to keep people in? He threw her when I met him, and I haven’t seen her since.”
*She looks surprised at the cuss, but mentally adds it to her list — the list she can no longer use.
“Maybe I’m too far away and she just hasn’t caught up? He did take me a good walk away.”
“Please, please don’t. He’s trapped me, he trapped others, I don’t want him to get you too.”
*She doesn’t know if he could handle it if Ruhi got stuck too. She’d hate herself and everything for letting that happen.
*Ruhi looks saddened at that and kneels down to her height* little bat, I am your mother... I want to find you... I want to protect you... But if you are scared of me finding you, we can figure out another way to bring you home... okay...?
*For some reason, she finds herself distracted by that phrase. Her mother. Her mother, her mother. Did she ever have a mom? Why does that thought make her feel funny?
“..I have a way to get out of here. It’s- like I said, I don’t. Want him to keep my cat.”
Oh- Vani sweetie... Are you crying...?
*Ruhi wipes away tears Vani didn't even realize were forming* I promise everything will be okay eventually...
*She startles slightly at the touch, more at the fact she was crying than anything.
“…I don’t want it to be eventually, I want it to be now..”
*She hugs Ruhi, not sure why she just wants to be held, but deciding not to fight it. She wishes, more than anything else right now, that she could be herself and not some- some kid.
*A pink cloud is approaching Sora, happily humming as he floats closer. He's following the feelings of Bird Boy! But you... oh! Ypu! He met ypu once! Ypu arena Bird Boy but ypu are connected!*

“..I have a way to get out of here. It’s- like I said, I don’t. Want him to keep my cat.”
*You’re dreaming again, this time you see a boy with spiky brown hair with his back to you, and he’s wearing a black coat like Roxas does — Sora. The hair looks..Different, though, you notice.
*Currently, he’s sat on the ground, hunched over something you can’t quite see from your angle.
@keyblade-wielder-sora
...Sora...?
*Ruhi mutters, but she doesn't believe it herself*
*He doesn’t seem to hear you, standing up and glancing around with a sigh.
“I hope Sally’s okay.. Haven’t seen her in a while.”
*The voice is..A girl’s? Sounds somewhat sad.
*Sora — who’s clearly not actually Sora — turns and sees you, and his eyes widen. He grins — it’s more like Roxas’s grin than Sora’s.
“Hey, Ruhi! It’s been a while. Do you remember me?”
*The voice really does seem to belong to Sora.
*Ruhi frowns. By the goddesses that voice struck something familiar in her, and she hated not actually knowing what it was*
I... believe so I just... You're wearing my son's face.
*Ruhi tries to joke as she attempts to just REMEMBER that ONE name she needed*
*‘He’ wilts slightly, but shakes it off.
“I’m Xion, Rox’s friend! It’s- a thing, that I do. When I met you, you said I looked like your brother. Which is funny, cause I’ve never met the guy, so I don’t know why I’d look like him…”
“..Wait, Sora’s your son?”
*Xion sounds confused by that.
“And um, don’t be upset you forgot me. Until recently, everyone did! The whole remembering me thing is still kinda new, haha.”
Xion... My goodness that sounds so familiar... I feel awful that I've forgotten you...
*she walks over and sits next to Xion*
“Don’t be. I’m used to it, really. If anything I’m happy right now — you’re gonna actually remember this talk.”
*She gives a smile.
“Hey, do you know what Rox has been up to? I haven’t talked to him in a little while. Last time he mentioned something was up with Ven?”
*She sits curled up, not saying a word. She hadn’t truly intended to come here.. But company wouldn’t be bad. She hates being alone.
*Vanitas doesn’t think she wants to talk much. Not like she has much new to say, anyway.

“Mm..I don’t know. I want the cat back.. But, I’m not sure Jerkwad will actually do it. He’s got a couple other guys there. One’s named Pathos, who’s stupid despite his name and doesn’t wanna leave — Jerkwad probably messed with him — and I dunno the name of the other guy. Lot quieter though.”
“I just wanna leave, but I don’t want him to keep my cat.”
*Because that’s what it is — it’s hers, and frankly outside of upkeep Ruhi won’t be getting the robot back.
*She sits curled up, not saying a word. She hadn’t truly intended to come here.. But company wouldn’t be bad. She hates being alone.
*Vanitas doesn’t think she wants to talk much. Not like she has much new to say, anyway.
@keyblade-wielder-sora (Vanitas)
*Ruhi sits next to her, content to stay in silence if that's what Vanitas wants right now, though the worry is eating her alive*
*She adjusts, shifting to lean against you. You’re warm, warmer than she is.
*After what feels like eternity, she speaks in a whisper.
Kids are stupid. Hylians are stupid.
*You get the sense she doesn’t mean stupid like dumb, and instead, just dislikes them.
*Ruhi smiles fondly* Well... It's a good thing I'm neither of those...
“Are you..Are you, serious? About the um. Adopting thing.”
*She doesn’t know if it includes her or not. She’s not Ven, she’s not Sora, she’s not Roxas.
*She doesn’t know if she wants it to.
“And um, how’s Ven doing?”
*She doesn’t really care about the other two losers. Just Ven.
*Ruhi takes Vani's hand* Little bat, I am very serious about it. And Ven, as far as I can remember, is doing fine. No need to worry about him.
*She blinks at the nickname, but nods when she says Ven is fine. She has to trust the other, that’s the best she can get.
*She doesn’t know how to ask if she’s included in the adoption list. She doesn’t think she would be - why would she, it’s not like she’s goodness incarnate, like Ven is.
*It might be nice to be wanted, for once. She can’t remember a time when she was. She thinks she just- wants to go home. She doesn’t know where home is.
*You’re dreaming again, in a place you usually see Xion.
*Though, the girl herself isn’t in sight. You do see Sally, her Dream Eater, but no hint of Xion. Sally doesn’t see you yet.
@keyblade-wielder-sora
*Twig looks around with a frown. It's odd that Xion isn't here. She's slowly getting used to being whisked away into these dreams, it gives Regal a break from her nightmares, at least.*
*She walks over to the Dream Eater.*
Sally? Where's Xion?
*Sally turns, excited to see you but at the mention of Xion, seems to droop. Maybe Sally has also lost the girl.
*Sally looks up at you, and you can tell she’s asking for help to find her person.
*You hear footsteps outside your room, then a thud.
Vanitas, knock first! Don’t just try to kick it open!
“But it would’ve been fun!”
He was just poisoned!
“UGH, you’re so lame!”
*That’s…Ventus and Vanitas.
*There’s somewhat harsh knocking on the door, then a more gentle thud.
May we come in?
@keyblade-wielder-sora
*I just a little and reach besides my bed for a knife when I hear talking behind the door.*
*I try to pinpoint who it is.*
Uhh. Ven? Vani?
Yeah... yeah you can come in...
*The doorknob twists, the door gently pushes open so it’s no longer latched, but still closed.
*Then, Vanitas kicks the door open — gently enough that it doesn’t slam into the wall too hard — and points at you dramatically.
“Get up loser we’re going flying!”
*Ven enters behind him, giving an apologetic smile.
Sorry about him. We talked to Sora and he mentioned you feeling trapped, so we came and asked if we could take you flying. Aqua’s here too; she’s waiting outside to follow us, make sure nothing happens.
*The door opening harshly makes me jump as I scramble away as best I can. The reaction instinctual.*
Sorry... sorry...
*I look down.*
I cant really stand that well let alone walk... how. How would we... do that?
I’ve got my glider. Aqua has hers. We’re more than happy to help you when you’re not allowed to go out on your own.
Plus, we could carry you outside.
“Or climb out the window!”
No.
“But it’s fun!~”
You can climb out the window if you’d like, but my answer is no. I’m not making Sky do that.
“Lame!”
*Ven ignores him.
So if you’d like to get outside for a while, we can totally make it happen. And we talked to the right people so they’ll let us.
*I give a soft smile.*
Ive been trying to walk. But I can only really make it across this room.
We could. Use the balcony?
You know Ive got to bring this guy with me?
*I point down to the rabbit currently sleeping besides me.*
Or he... you know tears apart the fabric of the universe.
*Vanitas shrugs, stepping forward with his hands out, but Ven catches his shoulder and holds him in place.
That’s fine. Does he have to stay next to you or could he ride with Aqua and Vani?
“Wait, whaaaatt?? I’m riding with Aqua?”
I don’t want to try and balance the both of you on my glider, Van.
“Lame!”
The closer he is the better. But I think as long as he can see me it'll be okay. He's pretty good at holding onto me so...
*I smile softly.*
Thank you... vanitas.
Are you sure about this? I... I feel like ill be more of a dead weight...
*Vanitas blinks.
“Uh, why’re you thanking me? Thank Ven.”
*It’s clear that even now, he has no idea how to react to being thanked.
But the whole point is to do this for you, so it doesn’t really matter if you’re dead weight. Sora told us that they’re not comfortable with you riding Crimson right now-
“-which is total bull, by the way!”
-so this was the next best thing we could come up with.
Because I know you prefer to fly with Ven. It means a lot that youd let me do so instead.
*I can tell it wasnt discussed.... but you dont need to know that.*
I can understand the concern. Ive got very little energy. And while Crim would get me down safely if something happened im a ways off from people who could help.
I... would appreciate the help. The walls are starting to get a little. Tight around me.
“….Meh, it’s whatev. Aqua doesn’t suck, even if she is annoying sometimes.”
Like when she’s trying to get you to eat your greens?
*Ven’s tone is teasing as Vanitas walks over to Sky, rolling his eyes.
“Not like it mattered anyway! Still the same height as you losers.”
*Vanitas is the one to help Sky to his feet, even as he snarks with Ven. Ven crosses to the balcony door, using his hands to feel the wall.
Awww, little boy had a chance to be taller and it didn’t work~
*Vanitas scoffs.
“Oh, stop it! The balcony is big enough to fit the bird, so you’re good.”
*I take the offered hand and stand up with you. Stumbling forward and placing the other hand on your shoulder for support. My face grimace.*
You are indeed the same height as us.
Thank you...
*I chuckle a little. The back and forth between you familar.*
The balcony fits crim on it. He cant flatten his wings but he often curls up on it.
“And it’s got a good size railing too so you won’t fall off.”
*Ven nods, carefully finding his way to the railing. Vanitas helps Sky get over there as well.
Is he gonna fly with us too?
*It’s almost more of an expectation than a question.
It is, we can thank the previous builders for that.
Why don't you ask him yourself?
*You hear a squawk and looking up you see crimson looking over the lip of the roof near you. He tilts his head. Trilling in happiness.*
He's going to land near you Ven...
*As he jumps off the roof and twists back around before landing on the railing.*
Yes... Yes Bud I'm outside.
*Ven laughs, reaching up and letting Crimson come to him for pets.
Yes, hi, buddy. We talked to people and they’re letting us take him for a fly.
“We think it’s stupid they won’t let you go with him, by the way, considering the both of you.”
But, we figured out a way to appease them. So it’s okay. You wanna come with us?
*He hops across the balcony railing towards you and pushes at you gently taking the pets happily. Before he settles his beak on your head.*
Good T-O see... Chick Lamp...
*He trills happily. Then Gives a small Coo. Before he looks at me and a silent conversation passes between us.*
No crimson I'm not repeating that.
*I chuckle.*
He... kindly says. That he also thinks its stupid, and he wants to come.
*Ven smiles when Crimson sets his beak on his head. Vanitas snorts at Sky’s words.
“That’s a bigger load of bull than I’ve heard in a while. He was totally not kind.”
Well, to get this started, I will sadly need you to back away, Crim. I need space to summon my glider.
Chick Lamp hugs... Chick Lamp. hugs....
Oh very much so... I care not to repeat what he said but its a lot of Skyloftian swears.
Come on bud... Soul needs Chick lamp to summon his glider so he can fly?
*He refuses to move for a moment.*
Come on... why don't you go and give Chick Shadow a hug instead? Sorry Vanitas.
*He hops across the balcony and places his beak on your head instead. I reach up my free hand and give him a pet.*
Chick Not-Lamp.
Chick Shadow.
Chick Not-Lamp...
*I sigh.*
I tried.
And you can give me many hugs when we touch ground again, okay? I promise!
*Vanitas gives a groan.
“Cmon, you dumb bird, it’s shadow! Sha-dow! Or darkness, but clearly that’s too hard for you to say.”
*Ven smiles, very careful as he climbs over the railing, knowing Vanitas doesn’t mean the insults. Vanitas raises his cane to lightly bonk Crimson with it.
“Don’t make me fall, I’m holding up your idiot buddy here.”
*Ven very carefully pushes himself off the railing, only falling a few inches before his feet land steady on his glider. It lifts him up, and he smiles at the other two.
*Crimson Trills happily in response. He loves Chick lamp hugs.*
Honestly I keep telling you to give it up as a bad job. At least you got an object.
*Crimson moves his head a little so you are now supported.*
Chick Not-shadow. Silly. Chick Lamp not Chick Shadow. Chick not-lamp.
Now you are just doing it on purpose.
Soul know Chick lamp, Chick Not-lamp. Wings not allowed fly soul. Wings anger. Chick lamp, Chick Not-lamp, fly soul.
*I look at the glider.*
What... happens if i fall asleep while we are flying?
“And I officially have no clue what you’re saying anymore.”
“That’s what Aqua’s for; she’ll be there to catch you if you fall. The prince is good, but frankly none of us trust him to not end up accidentally hurting you if he tried to catch you. Even him.
*Vanitas starts to move again, leading Sky and Crimson closer to Ven.
*His leg is so stupid. So incredibly dreadfully stupid.
*He hates that bastard. He hates him so bad. Makes darkness boil in his veins like nobody else could.
*But, he’s gotten better with emotions, and now he knows how to push it away and ignore it for now. Bastard’s dead and gone anyway.
He's saying its silly to call you chick shadow because Ven is lamp not shadow.
*I give a nod.*
As much as its worth, I trust that you'd try your best to do so Ven.
*Crimson gently lifts his head off you as you move. He follows you on around the balcony.*
Okay, so how's best to... keep supported while standing on this?
“And I call that stupid, because he and I haven’t been connected like that for 20 whole years, bird.”
Oh, it’s not that I wouldn’t be able to catch you, it’s that I’m not certain you wouldn’t gain a broken bone when I did so.
Just hold onto Vani, for now. We’re gonna rendezvous with Aqua on the ground, and get situated from there.
*Vanitas looks over the edge and frowns.
“Hey, where is she, anyway? Could’a sworn we left her there.”
She might’ve gone home to grab something. You know she prefers being over prepared.
He's an old bird set in his ways is all...
*He nods.*
He wont change his mind.
Again, I think you'd try your best to make sure that wouldnt happen.
*I give a nod. Crimson looks over to the other side. Down to the grounds below before he jumps off and lands on the ground. Looking upwards instead.*
Or she could be coming through the castle the other way. My guards all know her and I don't exactly have my own protection at the moment....
Try or not, I’m concerned it’d happen anyway.
*Vanitas helps Sky onto the glider, stepping on it behind him. So much weight makes it unbalanced, but there’s not much they can do about that right now. Ven guides them to the ground.
“Nah, we told her to stay out here and that it wouldn’t take long to get you.”
*I step carefully onto the glider. Wobbling a little as I hold onto Vanitas.*
Sorry...
*As we make it down to the ground i stay as still as i possibly can. Talking to myself.*
Okay...
*When we make it I look around.*
I cant... see her anywhere. Strange... And she didn't mention she would be going anywhere?
*Ven looks up, and Vanitas hums.
“See? Just went to grab something.”
*Aqua comes circling down on her own glider, something fluttering in the wind. She smiles at Sky when she sees him, letting her glider disappear.
“It’s nice to see you on your feet, Sky. I was worried.”
*I smile softly as Aqua arrives.*
Its good to see you as well.
*I lower my head.*
My apologies...
*I reshuffle my grip on Vanitas. Trying to make sure im not leaning on him too harshly.*
Apparently I caused so much trouble. I'm honestly grateful to the fates or whoever I need to thank for my life.
“If I’d known you wanted more guards, I would’ve offered. What’s a Master good for, if not protecting others?”
*She gives a fond smile, walking over and gently pulling you into a hug.
“Try not to do that again, okay?”
*Vanitas looks away, up at the sky.
If I'd have known someone was going to try something I'd have asked the question. My sister was here for most of it. They only tried right at the end.
*I try to wrap my spare arm around you but the hold is weak.*
I... I wont. Try too. Makes me so unproductive.
*I look at vanitias.*
So... how how are we. Going to do this.
You’re going to fly with me on my glider, standing behind me and holding on.
“I went home to grab an extra scarf we could use just in case something happened. And no, Ven, this one is blue. Not red.”
*He lets out a breath, nodding. He knows Aqua would never use the replica scarf Vanitas had made for anything that he didn’t explicitly give permission for.
“Productivity isn’t the problem, my dear pupil.”
*She smiles at Sky, but her words are honest.
“It wouldn’t do much good to have you die so early, would it?”
“I guess I’m gonna ride with little-miss-master here.”
*The tone isn’t mocking, but it’s not quite teasing either. Aqua doesn’t react to it, just nodding.
*I turn towards vanitias.*
They are going to tie my hands together so I hold onto him just you wait.
I dont know. I have to run a kingdom and am training to be a keyblade master. And have a family to take care off.
Lots to do. Not enough of me around. Espically when the me around is so... well look at me.
A lot of people are telling me that. My dying too early wouldnt be good for me. Or for them.
Thank you... really.
*I give a yawn.*
Its...nice to be outside...
*Vanitas snickers.
“Nah, ten rupees says they hook it under your armpits and under one of his so you’re stuck to him.”
“We care for you. All of us. Outside of the kingdom, outside of your training.”
*Ven nods in agreement, he’s standing on his glider again.
Either way, we won’t be using the scarf unless something happens, so you’ll be fine, Sky.
*She sits curled up, not saying a word. She hadn’t truly intended to come here.. But company wouldn’t be bad. She hates being alone.
*Vanitas doesn’t think she wants to talk much. Not like she has much new to say, anyway.
@keyblade-wielder-sora (Vanitas)
*Ruhi sits next to her, content to stay in silence if that's what Vanitas wants right now, though the worry is eating her alive*
*She adjusts, shifting to lean against you. You’re warm, warmer than she is.
*After what feels like eternity, she speaks in a whisper.
Kids are stupid. Hylians are stupid.
*You get the sense she doesn’t mean stupid like dumb, and instead, just dislikes them.
*Ruhi smiles fondly* Well... It's a good thing I'm neither of those...
“Are you..Are you, serious? About the um. Adopting thing.”
*She doesn’t know if it includes her or not. She’s not Ven, she’s not Sora, she’s not Roxas.
*She doesn’t know if she wants it to.
“And um, how’s Ven doing?”
*She doesn’t really care about the other two losers. Just Ven.
*She sits curled up, not saying a word. She hadn’t truly intended to come here.. But company wouldn’t be bad. She hates being alone.
*Vanitas doesn’t think she wants to talk much. Not like she has much new to say, anyway.
@keyblade-wielder-sora (Vanitas)

*Twig stifles a yawn as she walks into her bedroom, pushing the curtain out of the way. She rubs her eye, looking at Roxas as soon as she noticed him.*
Ah, you're home.
~ @heroineofthewild
He pushed me off the clocktower.
*The statement is blunt, annoyed.
Didn’t fall again, but I damn well thought I was fucking gonna!
*He’s too distracted by his anger at Blade to broach any other topic for now.
*Twig frowns, going over and sitting next to him.*
I know, I told him off for it. I'm sorry he did that, Roxy.
*She leans against him, resting her head on his shoulder.*
Are you okay?
*He leans against her back, letting his head rest lightly on hers.
Oh I’m fine. Pissed, but fine. Fucking Saïx of all people found me. He’s still a bastard.
*Having her here does make him feel better. He loves her.
He's the...blue-haired guy I met when you took me to Twilight Town, right?
*She stifles another yawn, hiding it behind her hand.*
So that's what Dad meant... Well, at least someone was there to help you, even if it was someone you don't get along with. I don't want you to get hurt because my dad's a little bit of an idiot.
Yeah, that rat-ass bitch. I can’t believe he’s Axel’s friend.
..What about you? How do you feel?
Right now? Tired... Overall? Stressed as hell... Today's been...eventful for me too...
Mm.
*He takes a deep breath, giving a small smile.
Anyone ever tell you you smell nice?
*He kinda just wants to lay down and cuddle. Maybe it’ll help Twig feel better.
*She snorts, smiling softly.*
No... I'm sure I smell like a lot of things right now...
*She sighs softly.*
If I'm being really honest, Roxas...I'm scared...
“Scared of what? I’ll go beat it up for you.”
*He shifts, scooting back on the bed further, waiting for her to follow. He wants to cuddle.
*She snorts, looking at Roxas as he moves back, following him shortly after.*
I don't think you can beat this up, Rox. You actually probably shouldn't.
*She cuddles into him, yawning softly.*
I know Dad told you...about me being pregnant...
Mm. Yeah, I ain’t beating that up.
*He smiles, gently holding her close. He loves her. He loves her so damn much.
S’that what’s scaring you? Why?
We're so young...and I thought I was careful...
*She curls into him more, tears welling in her eyes.*
I'm not ready to be a parent, Roxas.
I saw you when you’re older. I think you’re a cool parent. You had some bird kid with you.
We’ve got Sora, Ven, your dad. Ruhi. The others have told me Axel isn’t a very good dad, but we’ve got him too.
...
*She's quiet for a moment before sitting up and looking at him.*
I'm sorry, you've seen my future self? Like, me as in me and not Tear? When did that happen???
Also, time travel is a really finicky thing, Roxas, you shouldn't have told me that. I assume by "bird kid", you mean a Rito child...
*He frowns when she sits up, doing the same.
Uh, a while ago. I…Forgot, that I’m not s’possed to tell. Yeah, Rito kid. Didn’t see me, but somebody called ‘im. Sounded happy.
But that means everything works out.
So it was while you were still within Sora...
*She states, thinking.*
I...see... That...does reassure me a bit...
How...are you feeling about this? I mean, you probably have barely a clue on what's going on...
Mhm. When we still had the same body.
*He smiles softly when she admits it reassures her, even if only a bit. That was his hope, after all.
I mean…Yeah, I don’t know shit about babies..But like I said; we’ve got people we can talk to about it, right?
Hell, if you want me to I’ll even go see if one of the fuckers from the Organization knows anything good about a kid. They’re all meant to have their hearts back.
I mean...I know a little bit...and Dad says he has parenting books. Could always talk to my aunt — though she'd be pissed you got me pregnant, despite this being my fault — as she has a daughter.
*She shakes her head.*
I thought you didn't like them? Why would you want them to know something so...personal to our lives? I also don't know them so I wouldn't be comfortable with them knowing...
Axel and, uh...Xion, is one thing, I suppose...
Ehh..I mean, so long as she doesn’t pull any cheap tricks I can handle that.
No, I don’t, but some of them have worked with Sora before. Ven said he even met Vexen caring for Zexion when the guy was a kid. And I wouldn’t tell them about you, just like, ask if they know anything about babies. Sora said I hold grudges really hard, and that they’re not bad people not that they’ve got hearts.
*He still doesn’t get why you don’t like Xion. But he’s not stupid; asking now wouldn’t help.
Yeah; I can ask them but I don’t think they really know anything. Xion’s the same age as me, and Axel taught me a lot of stuff that I don’t think you could pull off with a baby.
Oh, Auntie Urbosa isn't like that. She's more likely to just have a strong word with you, but also reassure you that she's there if we need help. Well...not all the time because she has chief duties and all of that, but it wouldn't be like what Dad did.
*Twig shrugs.*
I wasn't...saying ask them. I meant telling them about the, uh, baby... I just... So many people know already, I didn't even get to tell you myself — I yelled at Dad for that one. I just...don't want too many people to know without me saying it's okay.
I’m fine with it if she wants to like fight me or something. Just no cheap tricks.
*He smiles at her, being honest. He really wouldn’t mind fighting her. Even if she won’t, he doesn’t mind it.
Mm..Well, can I tell Ven and Sora? I wanna tell Ax and Xion too, but..
*Well, if Twig says no then Twig says no. He guesses he has to listen?
She's not going to fight you.
*Twig giggles.*
She has no reason to.
Well, I figured that one would be obvious. I'm sure we'll see them enough that it'd be difficult to hide anyway.
But yes, telling Sora and Ven is fine too.
*She stifles a yawn, rubbing her eyes.*
*He smiles when she giggles.
I dunno.. It seems like lotsa people wanna beat the shit outta me nowadays~
*He’s teasing, joking with her. He trusts her words, but wants to make her smile more.
*He grins at her statement, hugging her again.
You’re cool, babe. Y’know that?
I don't.
*She states. She hums when Roxas hugs her, curling into his hold.*
Oh? How so?
Well you sure did when we met.
*He laughs as he says it, resting his head against hers gently.
For one, you keep teaching me shit I didn’t know. Two, you gave me a specific reason to wanna be me other than because Sora said so and to spite the others.
You ran into me, literally, and would've destroyed my garden if I didn't.
*She says with a soft smile.*
Well...I got to meet you without it having to be through Sora. I didn't have a prior connection to Sora so I got to see you as you, not an extension of him.
*She's quiet for a bit, just relaxing in his hold.*
Aren't you... Aren't you at least a little nervous about this?
Hey now, it would’ve been Sora, but he went on the defensive when you started defending hahah.
And holy fuck am I glad you did. You’re the first one, outside of Xion and Sora, to really see me. Everyone else thought I was just Sora. Even though, y’know, I look nothing like him and didn’t have his memories.
Mmm…I dunno. What does being nervous feel like? Cause I might be, and just not have a name for it.
That's like saying I'm Hylia because I'm her descendant and have her powers, or that I'm Sky because I'm, again, his descendant and have his spirit... I don't know if you understand any of that.
Well, it's different for everyone. For me, I feel restless or on edge, depending on the situation, and my hands shake and my heart races. It's kind of like fear, it triggers the same "fight-or-flight" feeling.
Mm..Not really. But you mean calling me Sora is bullshit, right?
Also, the fuck does descendant mean?
*He gives a hum at her explanation.
I dunno..I feel like I wanna go fight something, but like, not ‘cause I’m angry? If that makes sense?
Yes, at least you understood that part and that's all that really matters right now.
*She giggles.*
So, you know how I have a father that's not Blade? I'm his daughter, but that also means I'm his descendant. Sky is like...my very great grandfather, more or less. There's to many greats in that title and a lot of guess work to figure out the actual generations between him and I.
*She nods.*
As I said, nervousness triggers your "fight-or-flight" response, and your default is to fight. I kind of just...freeze or fight, depending on the situation.
*Roxas…Doesn’t look like he gets it. He’s trying, but he doesn’t understand. He’s happy he got her point earlier, but now he’s just confused.
*In response, he simply shifts to hold Twig that little bit closer. He loves her very much.
Well. You think we could set up a place I can just punch shit? Eventually?
*Twig nods with a tired hum.*
Yeah, add it to the training area outside, shouldn't be too hard to set up.
... Should we...tell everyone? I mean...obviously Dad knows, and Jun knows... But...
Depends on who ‘everyone’ is. Who do you want to know? I’m cool with the guys, Axel, and Xion knowing. But the guys say I suck at keeping secrets.
Thanks, babe.
*Oh how he likes calling her that. She’s his, nobody else’s. If someone tries to take her, he’ll fight them.
Well, yeah them... I just...don't know who to tell on my end... Revali knows... But do I tell my aunt? Or my best friend? Or the princess? It's just...stressful to figure out...
*She's quiet for a moment before her eyes widen.*
Fuck! I almost completely forgot! I need to tell you something important. It's, uh, not related to this, but it's important regardless.
“I definitely vote best friend.”
*Hd blinks at her statement.
“What is it?”
*What’s so important that it makes her react like that? He can’t help but wonder about it, even if he knows she’ll tell him.
*He loves it when she does that. He’s sick and fucking tired of not being told shit.
I'll have to take you to meet her.
Okay, I don't know where he is, but I do know who has Vani. His name is Uranium, he's impersonating a friend of mine and uses a dangerous magic on people to get his way.
Vani managed to reach out to Jun, and when I saw Jun earlier today, Jun told me.
I wish I had more information, but knowing Uranium has Vani is enough because I've...ran into Uranium before, and his magic is similar enough to my friend's that I could possibly figure out the where part.
*Roxas sits up, staring at her.
“You- what? Does Ven know? You need to tell him, or I will.”
“God, if they teamed up… Okay, I- I could..*Probably* open a Corridor to go get him. No way we could let Ven do it, and Sora would fight. I’d be the best at a stealth mission, yeah..”
I only found out today, Roxas. After getting home, I was dealing with Dad.
*Twig shakes her head.*
From what I've gathered, Vani doesn't want to be there. Essentially, he's been kidnapped.
Okay, but how are you going to find Vani? I never met him otherwise I'd just tell you where his exact location is via sensing his magic. And I can't go through Corridors, not that I should go anyway since I'm pregnant.
Right. Right, sorry, I just-
*He gives a scoff of a laugh.
Dumbass, getting himself kidnapped.
There are two ways I can make a Corridor; to a place, or to a person. Now that we know the dumbass has been captured, I’m sure Ven would be more than happy to make me go get him.
Er- if, you’re okay with it. I can get Sora to tell Ven if you’d rather.
I...
*She pauses, looking down to fidget with her tunic.*
I know that it'd be smarter to probably deal with this sooner...but I would rather wait...at least until the morning? It's late, I'm tired and really just want to cuddle and go to sleep because of how...overwhelming this day has been...
Mmm… What all did Jun tell you about Vanitas?
*He lays back down, holding her close. He’s trying to judge if he needs to tell Sora and Ven tonight or if it can wait for tomorrow.
All Jun said was that Vani is hurt. But Jun's tone didn't tell me that it was an urgent issue.
*She snuggles close to him, yawning softly.*
Mm. Then yeah, it can wait.
*He holds her close, closing his eyes and letting himself relax. He loves her.
*She hums softly, closing her eyes.*
Okay, thank you... I love you, Roxas.
Love you too, Twig.
*More than he could ever put into words. It feels like it consumes his entire being. He’d do anything she asked him to, whether it be cuddle her or fight for her. No hesitation.
*He falls asleep soon, calm and relaxed and full of love.
