I ♕ Took the wrong turn in the world map

[luckyselfie]

[Action near the Bay]

[Sora is very used to new worlds. It's not weird to just appear in one. What is weird is being alone in said world, because he's always followed by Donald and Goofy. Combine this lonely waking up with all of the things he gets in the beginning and Sora's just... sort of very confused. What kind of a world did they end up to, this time?]

Hmm... it almost looks like I don't need to worry about order, since they expect new guys from places. But... since I don't want Donald on my case any more than normal, I'll be cautious first.

[He looks around a bit until he spots... three circles that look a bit like they're in some kind of a formation? That suspiciously looks like it could be a mouse...?? (hint: it's not)]

Oh, sweet! An easy lucky emblem!


[Video; later]

[After figuring out his new phone (somehow he managed to spend half-day figuring it out. Then again, he needed a lot of advice with the Gummiphone, too, so maybe that's not so weird.

Either way, he's now cheerfully waving at the camera.]

Hi, I'm Sora! I arrived here earlier today. No one's happened to see Donald and Goofy anywhere, right? I was supposed to be traveling with them, but I guess I sort of got separated from them?

And... have you had any trouble with any heartless or nobodies? Usually when I go to the worlds, it's for a good reason and it usually means fighting against them to help people out. So far, it's looked pretty calm...

Otherwise, let me know if there's any good tips for a newcomer... since it does look like I'll be here for a while.

[ This girl, here, has spots of paint on her face. Sorry, none of them are mouse-shaped. They're just fun and colorful splotches. She's working on something off-screen as she talks, a paintbrush in her hand and small jars of paint on the counter nearby. ]

Sorry, kiddo. No Donald or Goofy that I've seen.

[ She says this kindly, giving the camera an apologetic smile before introducing herself. ]

I'm Julie. What's a heartless? Or a nobody? And why would they be trouble?

[luckyselfie]

Bummer. Well, I'm sure they'll appear eventually...

[He doesn't seem too worried over that. He's also glad there isn't a lucky emblem on her face... that would make this game even harder than it already is.]

Hi Julie! A heartless is basically what is left of a person's heart when darkness overtakes them.. and a nobody is the body left behind. They're basically creatures of darkness... but I'm sort of an expert at handling them, so if you ever see them, just let me know.

[ If she did have a lucky emblem on her face, she'd surely let the kid take a picture of it. SHe firmly believes photographs are important. You have to preserve memories and moments.

At the description of the Nobodies and the Heartless, her nose wrinkles slowly. ]

Jesus. That sounds terrifying. Sorry you have to put up with something like that, expert or no.

[ Charlie's taken her direwolves for a long walk today. A lot of people leaving, a lot of people upset about it. She has her own people to look out for. But even after making sure they were still around, Charlie still felt anxious and that comes with a desire to be outside.

When she spots the kid going on about 'lucky emblems' or whatever, she and her half-grown wolf pups stop to stare, the dogs sitting at Charlie's feet, waiting patiently for orders. ]

What's a 'lucky emblem'?

[The closer he gets the more he realizes that it's actually not a lucky emblem... just circles in a very similar formation.]

Oh, they're these emblems that bring you luck if you take pictures of them! They're pretty popular.

[He turns around to look at the person who talked to him and oh... she's with puppies? He smiles.]

How adorable. Are these your friends?

[halfdeimos_king]

"Goofy"? That's not their real name, is it?

Video

[luckyselfie]

[A confused look.]

It is. Why...?

Video

[halfdeimos_king]

Don't you know what it means? It's more of an insult than a name.

[madcuriosity]

Sora!

[That selfie with the emblem needs to be put on hold because there are suddenly little arms around his waist. Alice had been walking home from school and stopped by a store near the Bay when she heard a familiar voice.

She was too excited as she called out his name and her arms were quick to wrap around him, whether or not he was ready for her.]

[luckyselfie]

[He recognizes this voice and the lucky emblem is forgotten as he returns the hug.]

Alice! It's so great to see you! ... wait, did I come back to Wonderland?

[Action]

[madcuriosity]

Sora! [She snugged into him tight. She looked up at him and smiled.]

No no, this isn't Wonderland, though the rules are nearly as mad. No, this is Genessia!

I would be happy to help however I can, Sora. I'm still rather new here myself but I think we learn a good deal when we help those who have just arrived.

[Video]

[luckyselfie]

Thanks! It's a great feeling to be able to help others. I never get tired of it.

[Even if sometimes the things he gets asked are a pretty odd.]

[Video]

[beautyrest]

How very noble of you, you're something of a knight, in that way.

[Kaoru sighed defeated, the fabric he had been after has long since been sold to someone he believed would waste it on bad fashion choices. Today was just a bad day for him overall. But he knew that wouldn't stop him from finishing what he had. it just meant he had to think outside the box.

As he turned the corner the found himself facing a rather chipper fellow who he had no understanding on why or even what on earth a lucky emblem was. Seemed weird.]

What... on earth are you doing?

action;

[luckyselfie]

Trying to take a picture of a lucky emblem... though I suppose this isn't one. It's a bit off and usually my Gummiphone would detect if it is one somehow.

[But he's still trying to get the right angle.]

action;

[devilishkaoru]

What is a lucky emblem? I assume it's something from your world and if so... It probably will not be one.

[This was one weird kid. At least in his mind.]

I mean you are far away from wherever you are after all.

[ivegotadream]

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what a heartless or nobody is.

[Rapunzel had managed to turn on the feed, moving some strands of hair to behind her ear. She had been busy with work really.]

But tips for being here hm... [She tapped her chin briefly as she thought over it.]

I guess finding a job is always the first best thing to do really. It helps in the long run unless you know someone.

[luckyselfie]

Rapunzel! ... huh, did you forget? Wait... something's not right here...

[He's trying to figure out what's off.]

video;

[ivegotadream]

Did I forget something?

[She wasn't sure what exactly it was she would actually forget though.]

You seem to know who I am though, but I sadly don't think I've met you.

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Hey, Sora was back! Or... maybe not quite, since he didn't seem to remember being here before. That'll be fun to explain.]

Hey, Sora! Good to see you!

[video]

[luckyselfie]

Oh! Hey Lea. Did you finish your training with Kairi and Merlin?

Re: [video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

No; this place decided to grab me right before I started it. But if and when it sends me back, I'll get put right back at that point, so I know I'll get it done.

I haven't been slacking off here though; been doing a good bit of training here in my spare time.

[It was hard not to smile back at such a cheerful wave. If the hair alone didn't offer a shadow of a reminder of her brother, the smile would have clinched it. Easily.]

Hello, Sora. I'm Hikari.

I'm sorry, but I haven't heard any of those names until now. Including those...you said they were called 'heartless', right? And 'nobodies'? May I ask what they look like?

video

[luckyselfie]

Oh... they both come in different shapes and sizes. Most common heartless look like tiny bugs though. Black and with yellow eyes. Nobodies are slim and white... and generally weirder.
