hello!

[the-real-kotts]

KOTTS ARE YOU OKAY WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU

@notts-of-rito-village

*she startles, spinning toward you.*

Notts?!

I- I'm fine! I just went for a walk earlier...I promise I'm okay.

*she is visibly not okay. there are bags under her eyes, an almost imperceptible bloodstain in the middle of her apron, dried tear-tracks on her face and her smile stretches a little too wide, the positivity forced*

[notts-of-rito-village]

kotts why is there blood on your clothes WHAT HAPPENED

did you meet her i told you not to please say you didn't

[the-real-kotts]

*she looks down at her apron*

*shit, i can't not tell her now*

....I just went for a walk, I wasn't lying about that...and then during my walk somebody stabbed me...

I'm okay though! I got healed up and I have a cool scar to show for it! And I didn't go visit Kheel, I swear.

[notts-of-rito-village]

you're sure you're okay? i know you got healed, but..

[why did you leave at all what did she do wrong]

[the-real-kotts]

I'm okay, I promise. You don't need to worry about me.

*she sighs internally. the whole reason she went on a walk after the nightmare was to make sure her sister didn't worry about her...look how that turned out. she really can't do anything right. *

Why are you awake? It's like, midnight right now...sleep is important, you know!

*it's obvious that's she's trying to redirect the conversation, the cheery tone of her voice faked*

[notts-of-rito-village]

..you're right, we should sleep. both of us.

sleep is important for you, too.

[if kotts really isn't that hurt any more and she didn't go see kheel it's fine. she knows why she's doing this, but.. it is late. they can talk more in the morning]

[the-real-kotts]

*sleep? nonono, she can't sleep. she might have another nightmare and worry her sisters and-*

*she tries to hide her panic, the only giveaway the slight widening of her eyes*

I don't need to sleep! I've been sleeping a lot, I slept for days in the maze, so I'll be fine!

[notts-of-rito-village]

i don't care if you've been sleeping a lot! it's LATE and you are going to sleep NOW and you're never going on random walks in the middle of the night and getting attacked again!

kotts did anyone tell you how genli died

[the-real-kotts]

Notts-

*she stopped whatever she was going to say when you mention Genli. Goddesses, she didn't even think about that...*

I...I know how it happened. Kheel told me, when I saw her before the maze.

I'm sorry...

I...I'll go to sleep. Sorry for worrying you.

[notts-of-rito-village]

thank you

i just really want you to be okay

we could cuddle together? if you're scared of having nightmares? i know you used to get them a lot and.. i can't imagine what's happened recently hasn't made them worse

[the-real-kotts]

I am okay. You don't need to worry...

...a hug would be really nice...nightmares suck.

*she's dropped her facade of energy and peppiness, and now looks completely exhausted. without the smile on her face, she looks haunted...by what, she'll likely never mention*

[the-real-kotts]

*He wanders nearby, not knowing why but feeling somewhat drawn to the area.

*His eyes land on Kotts and he gasps, rushing over and summoning his Keyblade. His eyes flicker between bright blue and bluish green, but stay predominantly blue.

Are you okay? Have you- treated that properly?

*He can’t — shouldn’t, really — heal it until it’s been properly treated, even if it doesn’t need to be bandaged.

@keyblade-wielder-sora

*kotts startles, still reeling from the stab, stuck in a state of shock*

I...I...ow

...no. someone just st-stabbed me

It hurts

*sob*

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

Okay, okay. I'll help, but I- I'm sorry if this hurts. Ven has the better spells, not me..

*He follows the instructions from inside his mind, caring for the injury properly, before he lifts his Keyblade.

Curaga!

*Green light surrounds them, healing her wound with magic. His eyes flicker green again, and he winces.

[the-real-kotts]

*she doesn't do much while you treat the wound, occasionally wincing.*

Who...who're you?

*she flinches when you cast the magic, then looks down at the healed wound in shock*

...how...you didn't use a potion, how'd you heal it?

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

My name is Sora!

*He smiles kindly.

I used magic. How do you feel now? It’s not the best at healing the insides, but at the least you won’t die from anything!…Should probably still go see someone who actually knows what they’re doing, though.

[the-real-kotts]

Th-Thanks Mr Sora.

*she's visibly shaken, her wings drifting to where the wound had been almost in disbelief*

Magic...that's c-cool.

*she tries to take a steadying breath, but it catches in her throat, turning to a sob*

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

*He clearly doesn’t know what to do. Hesitantly, he pulls her into a gentle hug, one hand moving as if to card through her hair. She has feathers instead, which only makes him feel more awkward.

It’s okay. You’re okay.

[the-real-kotts]

*she breaks down, sobbing openly*

I-I could have died *sob*

Again! *sob*

I-I shouldn't have gone out alone...I shouldn't have left my sisters again...why do I keep messing up!?

*sob*

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

*He doesn’t know what to do. What is he meant to do here?! He’s not Ven, he wasn’t comforted like those or had to comfort others that were in this situation!

Hey- hey. It’s okay. You didn’t die, did you? No, you’re still here, I’m holding you right now. You’re okay. You get a cool scar from it. All my cool scars are from when I almost died. So put a smile on, yeah? …For me?

Mistakes can be fixed. Haven’t met one yet that can’t.

[the-real-kotts]

*kotts takes a few, shaky, breaths, attempting to calm down*

Y-Yeah...I guess *hic* that's true...*sniffle*

*she breathes out slowly, then smiles. she..she was fine! just a little shaken she really needed to stop lying to herself *

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

*He gives a small smile, which grows when he sees Kotts’s.

There we go. Do you need help getting home? I can probably take you straight there if you tell me what it looks like.

[the-real-kotts]

Hehe, I don't think you could take me where I'm staying...but I do know someone who could!

How to get them here, though...

*she still looks a little bit shaken, but she's clearly compartmentalised her minor breakdown, and is smiling...a little bit forcefully*

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

*He smiles, either not noticing the force or ignoring it.

*He remembers when he had that same grin stuck onto his face. Pretending is easier now that he’s gotten used to it.

You’d be surprised where all I can get to. If we can’t get them here, why don’t we go to them? I can go to people too…Somewhat. It’s a little bit less accurate, heh.

[the-real-kotts]

...okay! ...oh! I still haven't introduced myself! Sorry!

I'm Kotts!

And....if your going to try and find where Mr Ravio is-he's the person i'm staying with, by the way!- I'm pretty sure his house is in a void...

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

Nice to meet you, Kotts!

*He grins brightly.

Mr Ravio, huh? Can you describe him?

[bunnynotravioli]

I walk out from the shadows looking very tired and very worried.

I look away for 5 minutes, and you get stabbed….oh, outlander, hey. Thanks for saving her. And you…seriously…I need to teach you defensive magic next…if you picked up a chronomancy spell as quick as you did it shouldn’t be too hard…but first…are you feeling ok? Mentally and physically?

@the-real-kotts

[the-real-kotts]

*Kotts startles*

Ah! Oh, Mr Ravio! Hi!

...yeah, it probably wasn't the best idea for me to go out alone...but I'm okay! Mr Sora helped me out! And I'm not completely sure I'd be good with other magic...the time magic just feels easier...

*she's smiling a little bit too much for someone who just got stabbed, but the happiness seems genuine enough*

@keyblade-wielder-sora

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

Oh- hey! No problem, here to help and all.

*He grins at Ravio. Then he nods at Kotts’s words.

Yeah, that’s how I felt about some of my spells. But it’s always better to have more of them!

*He realizes too late that he shouldn’t have used magic. He should’ve given her a mega-potion.

*He blinks a few times, but brushes it off with ease, ignoring that the magic exhaustion Ven gave him is still somewhat affecting him.

@bunnynotravioli

[bunnynotravioli]

Well, outlander, want to join us for a midnight snack?

Belice me I’ve still got centuries to get through and it’d be a big help. Also, drink this magic potion you look exhausted.

I toss him a green potion

And kotts, that key I gave you can open a door to my house whenever you need one, without using your magic. Did you not take it with you?

@keyblade-wielder-sora

[the-real-kotts]

OH! The key! Dammit, I left it behind....ughhh.

That's on me...sorry.

...if we're gonna go home...could we do it quietly? I wouldn't want to wake up my sisters...

@keyblade-wielder-sora

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

Oh- yeah, sure! Thanks.

*He catches the potion with a bit of fumbling.

Hey, why do you call me outlander? We have names.

*His eyes flicker between teal and bright blue, though the bluish green isn’t appearing. Ravio can notice its because Ventus seems hurt.

*Sora sips the potion, not drinking it very fast but still drinking it.

[bunnynotravioli]

Oh, it’s simply because I’m used to calling my companions by nicknames. It’s more of a force of habit really. Does it offend you?

I ask as I open a gate to my house

@the-real-kotts

[the-real-kotts]

*kotts looks through the gateway, seemingly checking that no-one's near the door. She hopes her sisters didn't notice her leave...she does t want them to worry about her...especially since she only got injured because of her own stupid mistake...*

[bunnynotravioli]

Right, come on in.

I use magic to turn back time on the tear in Kott’s clothes where she got stabbed to fix them

Kitchen’s this way if you’re hungry. And Kotts, you should get some rest. I know you have a message, a feeling you need to tell Kheel. So rest, and think of how you’re going to do it.

@keyblade-wielder-sora

[the-real-kotts]

*she's a little bit quiet now...her lack of sleep catching up with her*

Food sounds nice...thanks for fixing my apron.

...I'll sleep soon! Promise! I just want to stay wake for a little longer..

*she doesn't really want to sleep again, on the off chance she might have another stupid nightmare...*

...and I don't really think I should go see Kheel for a while. I wouldn't want to go to her without Notts or Cree...not until they're ready.

[bunnynotravioli]

Ok, well, try not to eat too much, you’ll upset your stomach.

I pull out a plate

Sora, you three help yourselves, and let me know if I can get you anything.

@keyblade-wielder-sora

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

No, it doesn’t offend us or anything.

*It just points out he doesn’t belong here.

Nicknames are kinda funky though, Y’know? Roxas has Rox and Ven has, well, Ven, but I don’t really have one of my own!

*He’s only an outside in this world, he can’t make himself fit in, he just screws up more and more.

And thanks! We will.

*His eyes flicker bluish green for a moment. Ven’s pain radiates, and Sora’s eyes go back to blue.

Ven wants to know if there’s any cake here. Roxas seemed to love it.

[bunnynotravioli]

What kind of cakes? We’ve got millions, just name it

How about keychain? Or…um…you’d think I’d get good at this after a few centuries…keys?

@the-real-kotts

[the-real-kotts]

*Kotts wanders over to where the kitchen is. She knows Mr Ravio has a lot of food already...she wonders if he has those fancy candies from Gerudo Town...it is unlikely, though.*

*she starts to look for a teacup...she feels like having chamomile...she really does need to sleep...*

@bunnynotravioli @keyblade-wielder-sora

[the-real-kotts]

*He wanders nearby, not knowing why but feeling somewhat drawn to the area.

*His eyes land on Kotts and he gasps, rushing over and summoning his Keyblade. His eyes flicker between bright blue and bluish green, but stay predominantly blue.

Are you okay? Have you- treated that properly?

*He can’t — shouldn’t, really — heal it until it’s been properly treated, even if it doesn’t need to be bandaged.

Who...who're you?

*kotts startles, still reeling from the stab, stuck in a state of shock*

I...I...ow

...no. someone just st-stabbed me

It hurts

*sob*

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

Okay, okay. I'll help, but I- I'm sorry if this hurts. Ven has the better spells, not me..

*He follows the instructions from inside his mind, caring for the injury properly, before he lifts his Keyblade.

Curaga!

*Green light surrounds them, healing her wound with magic. His eyes flicker green again, and he winces.

[the-real-kotts]

*she doesn't do much while you treat the wound, occasionally wincing.*

Who...who're you?

*she flinches when you cast the magic, then looks down at the healed wound in shock*

...how...you didn't use a potion, how'd you heal it?

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

My name is Sora!

*He smiles kindly.

I used magic. How do you feel now? It’s not the best at healing the insides, but at the least you won’t die from anything!…Should probably still go see someone who actually knows what they’re doing, though.

[the-real-kotts]

Th-Thanks Mr Sora.

*she's visibly shaken, her wings drifting to where the wound had been almost in disbelief*

Magic...that's c-cool.

*she tries to take a steadying breath, but it catches in her throat, turning to a sob*

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

*He clearly doesn’t know what to do. Hesitantly, he pulls her into a gentle hug, one hand moving as if to card through her hair. She has feathers instead, which only makes him feel more awkward.

It’s okay. You’re okay.

[the-real-kotts]

*she breaks down, sobbing openly*

I-I could have died *sob*

Again! *sob*

I-I shouldn't have gone out alone...I shouldn't have left my sisters again...why do I keep messing up!?

*sob*

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

*He doesn’t know what to do. What is he meant to do here?! He’s not Ven, he wasn’t comforted like those or had to comfort others that were in this situation!

Hey- hey. It’s okay. You didn’t die, did you? No, you’re still here, I’m holding you right now. You’re okay. You get a cool scar from it. All my cool scars are from when I almost died. So put a smile on, yeah? …For me?

Mistakes can be fixed. Haven’t met one yet that can’t.

[the-real-kotts]

*kotts takes a few, shaky, breaths, attempting to calm down*

Y-Yeah...I guess *hic* that's true...*sniffle*

*she breathes out slowly, then smiles. she..she was fine! just a little shaken she really needed to stop lying to herself *

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

*He gives a small smile, which grows when he sees Kotts’s.

There we go. Do you need help getting home? I can probably take you straight there if you tell me what it looks like.

[the-real-kotts]

Hehe, I don't think you could take me where I'm staying...but I do know someone who could!

How to get them here, though...

*she still looks a little bit shaken, but she's clearly compartmentalised her minor breakdown, and is smiling...a little bit forcefully*

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

*He smiles, either not noticing the force or ignoring it.

*He remembers when he had that same grin stuck onto his face. Pretending is easier now that he’s gotten used to it.

You’d be surprised where all I can get to. If we can’t get them here, why don’t we go to them? I can go to people too…Somewhat. It’s a little bit less accurate, heh.

[the-real-kotts]

...okay! ...oh! I still haven't introduced myself! Sorry!

I'm Kotts!

And....if your going to try and find where Mr Ravio is-he's the person i'm staying with, by the way!- I'm pretty sure his house is in a void...

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

Nice to meet you, Kotts!

*He grins brightly.

Mr Ravio, huh? Can you describe him?

[bunnynotravioli]

I walk out from the shadows looking very tired and very worried.

I look away for 5 minutes, and you get stabbed….oh, outlander, hey. Thanks for saving her. And you…seriously…I need to teach you defensive magic next…if you picked up a chronomancy spell as quick as you did it shouldn’t be too hard…but first…are you feeling ok? Mentally and physically?

@the-real-kotts

[the-real-kotts]

*Kotts startles*

Ah! Oh, Mr Ravio! Hi!

...yeah, it probably wasn't the best idea for me to go out alone...but I'm okay! Mr Sora helped me out! And I'm not completely sure I'd be good with other magic...the time magic just feels easier...

*she's smiling a little bit too much for someone who just got stabbed, but the happiness seems genuine enough*

@keyblade-wielder-sora

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

Oh- hey! No problem, here to help and all.

*He grins at Ravio. Then he nods at Kotts’s words.

Yeah, that’s how I felt about some of my spells. But it’s always better to have more of them!

*He realizes too late that he shouldn’t have used magic. He should’ve given her a mega-potion.

*He blinks a few times, but brushes it off with ease, ignoring that the magic exhaustion Ven gave him is still somewhat affecting him.

@bunnynotravioli

[bunnynotravioli]

Well, outlander, want to join us for a midnight snack?

Belice me I’ve still got centuries to get through and it’d be a big help. Also, drink this magic potion you look exhausted.

I toss him a green potion

And kotts, that key I gave you can open a door to my house whenever you need one, without using your magic. Did you not take it with you?

@keyblade-wielder-sora

[the-real-kotts]

OH! The key! Dammit, I left it behind....ughhh.

That's on me...sorry.

...if we're gonna go home...could we do it quietly? I wouldn't want to wake up my sisters...

@keyblade-wielder-sora

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

Oh- yeah, sure! Thanks.

*He catches the potion with a bit of fumbling.

Hey, why do you call me outlander? We have names.

*His eyes flicker between teal and bright blue, though the bluish green isn’t appearing. Ravio can notice its because Ventus seems hurt.

*Sora sips the potion, not drinking it very fast but still drinking it.

[bunnynotravioli]

Oh, it’s simply because I’m used to calling my companions by nicknames. It’s more of a force of habit really. Does it offend you?

I ask as I open a gate to my house

@the-real-kotts

[the-real-kotts]

*kotts looks through the gateway, seemingly checking that no-one's near the door. She hopes her sisters didn't notice her leave...she does t want them to worry about her...especially since she only got injured because of her own stupid mistake...*

[the-real-kotts]

*He wanders nearby, not knowing why but feeling somewhat drawn to the area.

*His eyes land on Kotts and he gasps, rushing over and summoning his Keyblade. His eyes flicker between bright blue and bluish green, but stay predominantly blue.

Are you okay? Have you- treated that properly?

*He can’t — shouldn’t, really — heal it until it’s been properly treated, even if it doesn’t need to be bandaged.

@keyblade-wielder-sora

*kotts startles, still reeling from the stab, stuck in a state of shock*

Hey- hey. It’s okay. You didn’t die, did you? No, you’re still here, I’m holding you right now. You’re okay. You get a cool scar from it. All my cool scars are from when I almost died. So put a smile on, yeah? …For me?

Mistakes can be fixed. Haven’t met one yet that can’t.

[the-real-kotts]

*kotts takes a few, shaky, breaths, attempting to calm down*

Y-Yeah...I guess *hic* that's true...*sniffle*

*she breathes out slowly, then smiles. she..she was fine! just a little shaken she really needed to stop lying to herself *

[the-real-kotts]

*He wanders nearby, not knowing why but feeling somewhat drawn to the area.

*His eyes land on Kotts and he gasps, rushing over and summoning his Keyblade. His eyes flicker between bright blue and bluish green, but stay predominantly blue.

Are you okay? Have you- treated that properly?

*He can’t — shouldn’t, really — heal it until it’s been properly treated, even if it doesn’t need to be bandaged.

@keyblade-wielder-sora

*kotts startles, still reeling from the stab, stuck in a state of shock*

I...I...ow

...no. someone just st-stabbed me

It hurts

*sob*

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

Okay, okay. I'll help, but I- I'm sorry if this hurts. Ven has the better spells, not me..

*He follows the instructions from inside his mind, caring for the injury properly, before he lifts his Keyblade.

Curaga!

*Green light surrounds them, healing her wound with magic. His eyes flicker green again, and he winces.

[the-real-kotts]

*she doesn't do much while you treat the wound, occasionally wincing.*

Who...who're you?

*she flinches when you cast the magic, then looks down at the healed wound in shock*

...how...you didn't use a potion, how'd you heal it?

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

My name is Sora!

*He smiles kindly.

I used magic. How do you feel now? It’s not the best at healing the insides, but at the least you won’t die from anything!…Should probably still go see someone who actually knows what they’re doing, though.

[the-real-kotts]

Th-Thanks Mr Sora.

*she's visibly shaken, her wings drifting to where the wound had been almost in disbelief*

Magic...that's c-cool.

*she tries to take a steadying breath, but it catches in her throat, turning to a sob*

[keyblade-wielder-sora]

*He clearly doesn’t know what to do. Hesitantly, he pulls her into a gentle hug, one hand moving as if to card through her hair. She has feathers instead, which only makes him feel more awkward.

It’s okay. You’re okay.

[the-real-kotts]

*she breaks down, sobbing openly*

I-I could have died *sob*

Again! *sob*

I-I shouldn't have gone out alone...I shouldn't have left my sisters again...why do I keep messing up!?

*sob*
