[ bzzzpt Prepare yourselves, deep blue eyes are peering into the camera view with a furrow to a thin brow. The eyes pull back as Sora moves his head back and his mouth is gaping while he looks to the device. It is an expression of amusement. And soon he will exclaim..]


This.... is the best thing that has ever been given to me... ever! I cannot even, Gramps!? Are you here? This is the best little thing you ever did make! How much will this go? Did you synthesize it?! Did you take the blueprints from Merlin?! This is magic!! Why, it's like I'm on television! I am the television!

HELLO! Who is receiving me?! I'm looking for my friends, and~or friends as well.

I'm Sora!
[ beep! ]

This thing can text to?! What ... wait..

Okay! Great!

It's Sora again! Hello! It's so great to be here? Has anyone seen a gummy ship around?!

What is a gummy ship?

––yes, the spelling errors are intentional. He hasn't been in school for a time.

[keymemory]

It's mantenanced by two chipmunks and Donald likes to pilot it. But he sure did bring us someplace and now we're lost! I'm lost from him. Have you seen a duck around!?

omjfc

[anothermission]

[This child. Venom has no idea what he's talking about. While the kid seems old enough not to be making up this crazy story, Venom has to remind himself that his own presence in this strange place is proof enough that anything is possible any more.]

I haven't seen any chipmunks or ducks. Who is Donald?

shh shh, he's doing his very best.

[keymemory]

Donald is the duck. Oh! Also a tall dog, his name is goofy, he stands about 3ft more than me! He's got a long nose and the best golly gee laugh you'll ever hear!

I mean, he says that when he laughs! Like Garsh, golly! Gully? He's real friendly! The duck might bite! Don't tell him I said that!!

[anothermission]

[While he loves animals of all shapes, sizes and dispositions, Venom has to wonder about a golly-garsh-gee dog laughing. Somehow that's more believable than maintenance chipmunks though.]

I haven't seen a laughing dog either.

[There was a Laughing Hound on his base but that was a human soldier and not a golly-dog.]

Your parents not around here then?

[keymemory]

No! Well, maybe? Oh, man.. that would be weird! This would be like the one world they got off to, wouldn't it? I've been so busy chasing my friends, I bet my mom's so busy chasing me somewhere! What about your parents?

[anothermission]

[That question jarred him. ...V was old, but not old enough his parents might not still be alive, whoever they were and wherever they might be. Venom wondered if someone had reported him dead to them ten years ago? Probably not. His guess was he hadn't had anyone then anymore than he did now.]

They're not here.

[And because he can't help his concern:]

You okay?

[keymemory]

Oh, yeah! You bet! I'm here to make sure everyone is okay here! Are you okay?

[Video]

[armum]

I can see you, Sora. [He sure is energetic! Maybe that's good. It's better than being depressed.]

[anothermission]

[That was a relative question. Venom takes a few seconds to think and answer.]

Yeah.

[Even longer passes as he tries to think what he could introduce himself as. Finally he texts back.]

I'm V. If you need any help, call me.

[Video]

[keymemory]

[ Oh, this is great! Wow! Someone's coming in loud and clear! ]

Nice! It's great, isn't this great? Oh, wait.. [ Thinking. Thinking. Thinking. ] I don't think Gramps did make these things.. Because if you have one, and someone else has one.. he'd have to make them all.

Well, one mystery solved and on to the next! Have you seen a dog, duck, or chipmunks running around? What about a grasshopper?

[keymemory]

Call you?

[ Disvoering ... discovering... discovering... dropping device, panicking, brushing it off, looking around... discovering, discovering... ]

How do I call you?

[Video]

[armum]

[Oh no he's cute. She is overwhelmed by the cute. Dammit, Sora, put a lid on that vibrant personality!]

He didn't. Your grandfather might not even be here. [Sorry. She is always the bearer of bad news.] I...haven't. There might be a dog, duck, chipmunk or grasshopper somewhere, but -

Are they your friends?

[video]

[bigbadrose]

I know right! Aren't cell phones fantastic?!

My Dad's company made mine. Well, and the Doctor jerryrigged it a little, so it was fourth dimension compatible.

Aren't emotes/face the best?

-<-@ Look! a Rose!


[Back to video:]

Hallo Sora! I'm Rose Tyler. What does your gummy ship look like? Unfortunately, I'm not sure it'd work as well as you'd hope here. We're not in a normal universe anymore, sort of in-between all of 'em.

:3

[keymemory]

Oh yes! The duck can be a little intimidating, but don't you let him get his feathers all ruffled up over nothing. He just needs to be reminded to breathe more and talk less! Don't tell him I said that.

Oh! Also, gramps really isn't my grandpa, he's just really old. [ He chuckles and waves a hand in front of his face then stops to look around wide-eyed and alarmed. Once the coast is clear he looks back to the device and smiles. Man, she's really pretty! Maybe she's a princess! ]

I'm wondering, um.. have you seen any weird shadow blobs running around trying to kidnap you? Because you just might be a princess? [ Wait, was that a pick up line... oh, oh... how embarrassing! ]

Video

[youfool]

Eheh, I didn't know Merlin was interested in technical marvels like blueprints. Well, welcome, Sora! Don't happen to know of a Riku, do you? Purple hair, wears a blindfold? Tends to huff off at times?

Ah, I'm Ted, by the way.

[keymemory]

Fourth dimension compatible? Woah, what does that mean?! Hello Rose! Nice! You have your own emoji! That's fantastic! I'm not in the normal universe?


An abnormal universe?!

[ He gasps and his voice increases. ] We're in another universe?!

[keymemory]

Great! You know Merlin?! Wait––


RIKU IS HERE?!!

[armum]

[Her brain cannot keep up! She listens to him - intently - and tries to figure out his most pressing worry. Clearly the duck can wait. Sorry, Donald.]

I haven't. The shadows are regular and none of them have tried to kidnap me. [Something that silly shouldn't make her blush. But it does. Hush.] I'm not a princess.

[She is wearing armor, Sora. Bright armor.]

I am a knight of the goddess Etro.

[keymemory]

[ Oh?––OH?! Sora's eyes widen and he finds himself inspecting the other with a new found respect and amazement and admiration. ]

A knight of the goddess Echo?! That's amazing! I'm a hero too!

[bigbadrose]

Time-travel compatible.

You're not! You're not in [DRAMATIC PAUSE FOR EFFECT AND WIGGLES FINGERS.] Any universe. DUN DUN DUN --

It's actually between all of them! Sort of a pocket plane inside the void, near as I can tell. Crazy, huh? AND FUN!

[youfool]

Read about him, certainly; we talked for a little while before he left.

[He flinches at the eardrum-shattering excitement.]

Haha, would he be so ebullient! Hold on, let me do some digging...

Here you are! Give him a call; I'm sure he'll be overjoyed.

[Or as near as Riku can get.]

[armum]

...Etro. [A baby hero? Sora honey, you should be a lot more terrified.] What can you do, hero?

[video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Well here was a face he hadn't been expecting.]

Sora?!

[He'll be more articulate in a minute; just give him a sec to get over the surprise.]

[keymemory]

Yes! That's me! [ He'd do a song and dance but he's currently walking his way toward (who knows) and his little bobbing head can't be full of too many tasks, else he might just tip right on over. ]
