        a little starter!!!         ↳ @totallysora

       THE SUN was slowly setting on the firmament, light vanishing behind the tall buildings until the canvas of the sky was painted in a gradient of fire red and orange. her steps were quick on the hard pavement, the clatter of her heels echoed through the small alleys she had to take. yes, she was a model and fairly successful – yet she hasn’t reached a status where someone would bring her home from the jobs she had. a soft warm breeze rustled through the small spaces between houses and a soft sigh escaped through her red coloured lips. a chill left goosebumps on her skin and she wondered why as the temperature was still warm around this time. dark hues of her caught a shadow further away from her and the silhouette made her stop in the movements, tensing each muscle in her body. she couldn’t see exactly what was displayed in front of her as nothing but a back was showing. but her heart suddenly started to race as the sounds of the wind were replaced by weird wet sounds of eating. she didn’t know what was happening but something inside of her told her to turn around and run but she simply couldn’t with her feet glued to the floor.

[totallysora-blog]

Everything she did, she did to survive. A monster? Quite possibly. That’s what she believed herself to be. Others did as well, and she was very much aware of that fact. Her dad liked to remind her of it every single day of her life. Even if she didn’t have contact with him. He still found a way to haunt her with the remnants of her past. She absolutely hated it. Every single minute of it. But, as she sat there, the blood covering her face and hands, leaving that god-awful smell she loved--but hated with a passion. She couldn’t help but realize that she was a monster. All of it was nothing short of disgusting. 

The thing she hated even more than herself? Being found in the middle of one of her feeding sessions. And, that’s exactly what was happening as soon as she heard the sound of footsteps approaching behind her.

Shit...

It was all she could let run through her mind at that moment as she stood up from her spot, placing the limb she had so savagely ripped from the dead body onto the ground while trying to wipe some of the blood off of her face with her sleeve. “Do you need something? I’d suggest that you leave.” Her tone was harsh, quite possibly making the situation even worse. But--she just didn’t care. She needed this person to leave before they became one of her midnight snacks. They were probably so innocent...something she never wanted to ruin on anybody.

( ♠ ) —- Her head turned to look at her roommate with an expression that could only have been described as very intrigued. Had she said the same things to her sisters? Those many nights of standing in the middle of their living room, listening to a million reasons as to why she was better than what she was attempting to be. She wanted to be herself. Jumi wanted to be a person that was not merely defined by what her parents and sisters did. Being a hero, being a savior; Jumi knew that she wasn’t cut out for the responsibility of saving lives, selflessly.

So, at the end of the day, Jumi refused. She refused the selfless part of her and it just left her in the state of wanting to do the opposite. But was it fate? Was it really fate or was it her own doing? If fate had its way, she would have been forced and had no choice to be what her family made her believe what her fate was.

Or would she?

She could have easily ruined the world during her youth, she had everything at her disposal and even her family knew it. But she walked away due to what, boredom? Really? Yeah, that’s what she did. Or was it all fate? Was she truly denying fate by doing what she was doing? Living a normal life to the best of her ability? Was it all just a distraction? Jumi really didn’t know. She was really just– she wanted to do something different.

But the other girl’s words, she couldn’t help but to stare because words were failing her, for once in her life. Instead, she reached out and wrapped her arms around her roommate, her strong arms wrapping around the other girl as tightly as they could. She didn’t know where she was coming from but she knew one thing… and one thing…

“Fate’s conquest is not one that is merely to rip someone apart. Nor is it a conquest to play part in keeping someone within misery. There is a fine line between fate and destruction but despite it’s fine line, within the two… I believe there is clarity in both destruction and fate. I don’t have all the answers, but I have never lost hope in everything in this world, not even myself, just– parts of it. Cruelty is not what the world and fate is made up of; it’s much more than that but we… as beings within this world, have yet to figure that out because our youth is something that will never run out and our youth will forever be our hope.”

[totallysora-blog]

So weak. So...useless and weak. That’s exactly how Sora felt. There was absolutely nothing that she could do about it either. Everything about her life was just constant sadness. The constant need to feel wanted, loved, and to feel like she belonged. They were feelings she never got to experience. The only thing she got to experience to the full extent was her dad slamming the door open to her room every night, sitting down, then proceeding to tell her how she killed her own mother. She did. Sora did kill her. But, she had no say in it. She had nothing to do with it because she didn’t know it was happening.

As much as she didn’t want to break down in front of Jumi like this--she still did. She allowed the other girl to hug her, and she allowed herself to fall apart right in her arms. The tears started coming and she didn’t know how to stop them. 

Would they ever stop?

“I’m--sorry...” The only thing that she could choke out in between sobs. It was really all she could possibly say at that moment. There was just nothing else to say. Nothing that would make a difference for her entire situation. 

She surely did listen though. Listening to every word that her roommate spoke as closely as possible, and as quietly as possible. It was hard for her to cry silently, because she was always an ugly and obnoxious crier for some reason. It surprised her sometimes--but, that’s just how it was and there wasn’t any way to change it. It was managed though. Sora managed to hear everything, and managed to hold back the noises so that words could be exchanged to her. It was the least she could do when Jumi attempted to console her. 

“I believe I’ve lost faith in everything. Faith is just long gone for me. Not because of what the world did to me, but because of what I was born into. What I was born as. No one should have to deal with something like this--I wouldn’t wish being a monster on anyone. My father definitely didn’t wish for it either...Youth is nice...but, it would be better if I wasn’t even a part of it. It would be better for me to be locked away.” She tried so hard to understand everything that was said, she really did. Her emotions and outlooks on the world were just too strong for her to be pushed in the right direction. At least, not yet.

“It really was.” She nodded. “I mean I hate it when people who haven’t even picked up the game and base it on all their false ideas of what it is bash it as a silly kids game.” Truthfully Krystal loathed the actions of others when it came to tearing down other peoples loves or passions. Just because someone didn’t get something, didn’t mean they had to start on what others loved whether it was games, books, movies, hobbies or something else. Live and let live. “If they actually played it and saw how deep the story was, I think they’d actually fall in love with it or at least have some respect for it.” The girl nodded with pursed lips but soon pulled out a sulk from the thought of others as Sora continued speaking passionately about the title she loved so much. “Yes that was it! Timeless river! I think it was such a cute nod back to the beginning of Disney and the evolution of everything, plus I loved the river fight. Ah, I loved all the boss fights really even if they were challenging. It wasn’t just hack and slash but method and every last once had a unique twist.” She too was becoming alive in the conversation as she drifted back in childhood memories, her excitement growing as the conversation continued on an she was barely aware of the rambling she was doing. “Exactly.” The girl grinned. “No sense of achievement without hard work, right? Have Square Enix even said more on when the third will be released?” The model questioned, sure if anybody knew it would be the girl in front of her. “True I guess…I mean everything needs some much needed light relief but still, maybe a little fighting? Splash that tail and swing that Keyblade.” She laughed softly and once again found her head nodding in agreement. “Chose to believe it was real. There are theories everywhere about every last thing so make up your own and believe it was real.”

[totallysora-blog]

In one swift moment Sora had stood up, her hands slamming down onto the table to show just how angry it made her when people judged the game. She agreed one hundred and ten percent with Soojung. “RIGHT? I JUST GETS ME SO MAD--” With a deep breath she sat herself down again, smoothing out her clothes in the process as she attempted to calm down. There was no need to be angry. Her anger over this game just got too overbearing at times and it caused her to have to do everything in her power to keep herself calm. Kingdom Hearts was no joke to her. “It’s such a deep story line. I feel bad for anyone that refuses to pick it up just because it seems like a children’s game to them. They’re missing out on one of the best and most heartbreaking games in the entire world.” She let out a small sigh, but nodded her head along with the other. This was someone Sora could see herself being good friends with. She understood her strange antics and her love for the one video game series. Anyone who understood her love for it was immediately on her good side. That’show simple it was to start a friendship with her. “Wasn’t it? It really was such a nice little tribute to it, and to show how much Disney has grown since then. I love it.” At the mention of more boss fights she couldn’t help but lay her head down against her arm and let out a groan. She couldn’t even count how many times those battles caused her to have a mental breakdown and an imprint of her controller against a freshly painted wall. It was a frequent occurrence, that’s all she could say about it. “Right? It all makes you think. You can’t just run up and start hitting them with your keyblade you have to have the right special attacks, the right amount of potions, and sometimes you need a certain keyblade--It makes you really work for that win.” She leaned back to lift her head up, a genuine smile on her face from all the take about this game that was literally her life. That smile quickly dropped at the mention of the third installment. That just so happened to be a touchy subject with her, because Square Enix was just so behind on it. They were way too behind and she needed that third game. “Not too much honestly. A few scenes were released and some gameplay, but nothing else. We’re just sitting here waiting for the next twenty years until they give us a release date. It’s ridiculous--and oh my god it’s so true though. Just swim around and hope for the best!” Her hands came together to clap excitedly before rubbing them together. “I love game theories. I have so many I could talk about.”

Player one (x) !

Immediately, her eyes slip shut and she gets down onto the floor with the other girl. As ridiculous as it all was, Sora was just as ridiculous herself. Even though she was constantly moody, she still was extremely weird as a person. Sniffing her friends hair, chewing on their shirts, trying to feed them--her choice of food. It was all just her, and everyone was use to it.  “I believe. I believe that this cat will listen and high five us. “ She lets her friend take the lead, but she also reached her hand out just in case the cat wanted to high five her instead--which, it definitely did not because it decided to just walk away from them. Sora could relate to that. “I don’t think Kairi likes high fives. That’s her name actually..it’s my cat.”

Krystal watched the girl with a soft and non judging smile on her lips. It was always a beautiful thing to see somebodies face come to life when it came to speaking over their passions and love in life. Even the saddest of people when nudged onto a topic of interest could become a child all over again and it was something the model always loved to witness. Despite anybodies worries over being annoying or talking too much, Krystal always dismissed it off being someone who could so easily sit in her own silence quite happily listening to somebody else.

“You did.” She grinned and pulled the mug of warm tea to her lips to sip at as she continued to listen with a genuine interest. “It really was such an amazing game though, I mean the main story was so well done and that combined with all those little ones along the way actually managed to keep my attention for once.” The girl added with a smile as she thought back to all the games she had once started only to lose interest somewhere along the way. “Oh oh oh!” She sat up on her chair finding her own childish excitement in the memories of her time playing. “I loved the old world! Ugh, I can’t even remember if that’s the right name for it but it was so cute going back to the old Disney style.” She beamed, her fingers tightening around her mug. Whilst listening to the girls story over how many hours that battle had taken her to complete, Krystal couldn’t hold back her laughter. “They made that a little too hard but then again, where’s the sense of achievement of no challenge right? I just thought the weapons in Final seven were hard enough but nothing compared to that, at least not to me anyway.” She shrugged her shoulders.  “I agree on Atlantica though. I was a huge fan of the little Mermaid when I was a kid but that just seriously lacked what all the other worlds had.”

[totallysora-blog]

If Sora had to pick only one thing about Kingdom Hearts that she loved the most, it would have been the story line. As light hearted as the game was...the story line was just so rich. So new, and full of so many lessons that she’d find something new each time she popped in the game to go back to a time where she had felt the safest. A time where life just wasn’t as complicated and difficult for her. Kingdom Hearts did just that. It always would. 

She propped her elbow up onto the table before her as she listened. Completely and utterly into what Krystal was saying. This game was quite obviously her life. “Isn’t it? The story is amazing. Everything about it is just so...perfect. It’s absolutely perfection in just one game.” Leaning back into her chair while she talked, she couldn’t help but notice that the smile never left her features. It was so utterly strange and foreign to her at the moment--especially because she hadn’t smiled this much in such a long time. “Oh I know what you’re talking about! It was--” A pause was initiated so she could think for a moment. Her fingers snapping together once it finally came to her. “Timeless River! Yeah, that was super neat and I really love older things like that so it was awesome. But, right? It was so difficult and it really did take a lot of strategy to beat him. I guess it was actually kinda good? Because it really made you work harder to get everything you needed to beat him.” Sora nodded and just shook her head in exasperation at the thought of the battle. She could have just shuddered over it if she wasn’t around another person. That’s usually what it caused her to do. “It was just so disappointing because of all the directions they could have went with it. But, still a good addition to the story-line and a little bit of positivity during a sad part of the story. It could have been added for that reason alone, which I’d understand then. I actually really loved Twilight Town as well, so I was super sad about how it was all just...not real basically.”

[milkvsmile-deactivated20160821]

A whine. Long and drawled before she took her position on the floor beside Sora, controller in hand. Though her lounging around was evident enough that she was not as serious about the game as before –– at least for now. A heated type O, she always got even more serious and drawn into the mood as time passed, getting more and more intense as seconds went on and even resulting in her screaming and jumping all over the place as she played on. Never the best, calm kind of player, she was. Xuanyi’s eyes moved towards he friend, inquiring, “But Sora you know––– you’re not that good but it’s always fun to watch you play. I don’t know why~ But I like it.”

[totallysora-blog]

As someone who was completely expressionless most of the time, the whining did catch her off guard. It wasn’t because Sora didn’t have any emotions...because she did. She had so many of them she was afraid she’d have a break down at any moment--but, she seemed to be good at keeping herself monotone. A true talent. “No whining. We need to play this.” Her words, this time, were nothing short of determination. Despite being bad at this game, she was always determined to win. She hated losing. Even though losing seemed to be something she did more than win, she still hated it. “I’m going to get better at this. I swear.” She kicked her feet a bit in a childish manner before the game started back up again. A little mad, but a little excited as well.

[seohare]

Honestly games were like Math to her, hard and somewhat frustrating. She remembered when she was little her older brother tried his hardest to teach her but she could not keep up. The only games she could mildy play were rhythm games, and then she would also get bad at the fact the rhythms did not match up and it was poorly made. It was her music mind - that’s all she knew how to do honestly, which was fine until she made friends with Sora unnie. she wanted to spend more time with unnie which meant playing games. Sora was much better than her, after all this was her job and Serah was simply just picking it up now.

She was slightly stressed by all the events going on in the game. “Ah Sorry unnie, I don’t know how to work this well.” A frown found its way onto her lips as she gently poked the other’s shoulder. “Hey, how’d you get so good at these anyways? I always die for some reason but you always kick butt.”

[totallysora-blog]

With the winners coming up on the screen, she could do absolutely nothing but laugh at it. That’s all she could think to do. Because of all the frustration. But also because of the fact that-- she didn’t think getting angry at Serah would do anything at all. She actually did not have it in her to get angry at the younger girl. There was a soft spot there for her, for sure. As surprising as that was, Sora did have people that she liked. She liked quite a few people and enjoyed their presence. It was just the fact of being able to show it out in the open or not, and that was something she wasn’t able to do. Not quite yet.

“It’s okay. Don’t worry about it. You’ll learn....Believe it or not I wasn’t that great when I started playing either. I’m actually on the less skilled side when it comes to the streaming life.” She shrugged her shoulders a bit as she spoke, reaching out to pick up her water and take a sip before setting it back down. Her shoulders rolling back as a sort of warm up exercise for the next round of mini games. “For this one you have to push the others off the ledge. Push everyone off and you win.” As she attempted to explain it as simply as possible, the game switched to another mini game. The one she was speaking of. At that moment, she was just having them play mini games only. Just to get Serah use to it.

@yvjinx:

player one (x) !

All she could do was just stare at the other. Uee was someone that she had grown quite fond of, but someone she had also grown use to. Even though the idol was a lot different than Sora...she still enjoyed spending time with her. But occasionally, on days like these, where her friend was baking and all she could do was sit there. Sit there and wish she could eat the food that the elder made without having to turn it down every time, she went through a sort of melancholy feeling on these days. 

Maybe one day she’d pluck up the courage to tell certain people what she was. But, not today.

“No, no I’m fine. Water would be good though.” She bowed her head a bit as she spoke, just to show that she was thankful without having to say the words. Those words were words she wasn’t fond of. Not because she didn’t think they were necessary, but because she just had never used them before in her life. There never was a moment where someone had done something for her that deserved thanks, and she never got it in return.
