Curiosity killed the...Sora?!

[runbysmiles]

[ The feed clicks on from one of the ledges in the living room. There's a scampering of furred feet and the hoard other animals in the house can be seen chasing a ball of yarn across the way. There's a scramble and then a triumphant yell as a Sora sized body sporting a tail and some other cat like features pounces on the ball of yarn. ]

Gotcha!

[ Sora laughs as he rolls onto his back with the ball of yarn and tosses it up into the air with his hands and bats at it much to the other animal's dismay as they try to get their own fun in. ]

[shirleyhopeful]

Oh be careful! You don't want to hit anything around you!

[runbysmiles]

Hm? [ Sora looks over to the feed and grins. His canines are a bit longer than normal. ]

Oh, hi!

[ He goes over to the SFC and looks curiously at this new person. ]

Don't worry, I'm being careful.

[shirleyhopeful]

Are you sure?

It seems like you might have knocked over something.

[runbysmiles]

It's okay. Even if I did there's nothing breakable here.

[shirleyhopeful]

Haha, if you say so!

Well then, it seems like you're having a lot of fun being a cat compared to most people here.

[runbysmiles]

Yeah, I've had stranger things happen to me.

[ Sora straightens up and puts his hands behind his head like this is no big deal. Really it can't compare to being turned into a merman or a lion cub. ]

My name's Sora, what's yours?

[shirleyhopeful]

[Merman...she knows how that feels. Yay for being part fish. Anyway, Shirley raised an eyebrow once she heard his name. So...this is Roxas's 'brother' eh?]

Oh? Could you tell me? It seems like this isn't new to you.

And my name is Shirley, it's nice to meet you Sora!

[runbysmiles]

[ Sora laughed. ]

I've been a lion cub before so this isn't too bad.

[ Actually it's kind of cool still being mostly human. His balance had never been this good! ]

Nice to meet you too!

[shirleyhopeful]

Lion Cub? [blink blink. Now that was something she wasn't expecting. What kind of world did Roxas and Sora come from anyway?]

How did you turn into that? Was there another curse in Vatheon similar to this one?

[runbysmiles]

[ Many when you really get right down to it. ]

Haha, no. My friend Donald did it! We were in the Pride Lands so we had to blend in.

[ The way Sora talked it made it sound as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. ]

[shirleyhopeful]

[blink blink. Can Sora see Shirley's wtf face?]

Um...what do you mean by that? I'm afraid...I don't quite understand. [You transform into a cub to...blend in? Uh...]

[runbysmiles]

[ Yup he can see it and he rubs the back of his head awkwardly as he tries to figure out how to explain it. ]

Um...well the Pride Lands was a world where everyone was animals. There were lions, and hyena's, and meerkats and warthogs! Oh and birds and monkey's too!

[ Though Rafiki was technically a baboon, Sora didn't really know the difference. ]

[shirleyhopeful]

So you can travel to different worlds? That explains it, I was wondering why you would need to transform into an animal...

That sounds like you had a lot of fun getting to travel so much.

[runbysmiles]

Yup! We had a lot of fun together.

[ A lot of sad times too but over all Sora wouldn't trade the memories for anything. ]

Donald and Goofy are some of my best friends!

[shirleyhopeful]

Donald and Goofy? Who are they?

Are they here with you?

[runbysmiles]

No, I wish they were...

[ Well maybe he didn't. He wouldn't want them to be stuck here, but he did miss him. ]

They went with me on my journey.

[shirleyhopeful]

What about this journey? It sounds like you must have had quite an adventure between traveling to different worlds with your friends!

[runbysmiles]

[ Sora nodded before nearly getting distracted by one of the other animals in the house running by. ]

Yeah it was!

[ Not that there weren't dark times too, but he doesn't really want to go into that. ]

[shirleyhopeful]

Oh, are you okay? There are certainly a lot more animals in your house than I thought!

[/motherhens]

Are there any that jumped out at you? If so, sre you willing to sure?

I'm hoping I understood the question |D;; but I'm not sure I did.

[runbysmiles]

Yeah, they've all kinda been left behind by now.

I'm okay though!

[ Sora had to think about that. ]

Huh...that's kind of a had question.

I think you did!

[shirleyhopeful]

Hm? There isn't one world that stands out?

whoo!

[runbysmiles]

Well they all had their good points. I could only do so much since I had to actually try and help each world. I'd like to go back to all of them if I had the chance!

[shirleyhopeful]

Help each world? What happened?

[runbysmiles]

[ So much for staying off that topic, but Sora should have known better. Hard to explain one without the other. ]

There were these things called Heartless that were infecting all the worlds. It was my job to go back and close the worlds so the Heartless couldn't get in.

[shirleyhopeful]

[Blame Norma, Shirley's gotten nosier]

Heartless? What do they look like?...It sounds likes something that happened to my world a while ago. [Them shadowy figures]

[runbysmiles]

[ No worries! Sora doesn't really mind at all. ]

Um...They can look like a lot of different things. Most of them are all black with glowing yellow eyes. They kinda look like shadows and can move like them too. Well the basic ones anyway.

[shirleyhopeful]

...

Basic ones? I don't think the ones that I seen back home are...basic ones. They have red eyes and they have a shadowy figures of a person's negative emotions...

[runbysmiles]

Hm. That sounds like Heartless.

[ This worried Sora a bit. ]

What is your world?

[shirleyhopeful]

My world? You mean describe it?

[Uh.............]

Do the words Ferines or Orenines familiar to you?

[runbysmiles]

[ Sora frowned and shook his head. ]

No, but if you have creatures there like Heartless...

[ Sora looked worried, but as many stars as there were in the sky it made sense if there were worlds he hadn't visited. ]

[shirleyhopeful]

[For a moment, Shirley didn't say anything but once she does...]

It's okay, we defeated those um...'heartless' once we defeated Schwartz. While we were able to beat her, she'll still have the power to come back. But...it just means that she'll have to be prepared the next time and we'll fight right back!

[runbysmiles]

[ There was a visible relaxing of Sora's shoulders as he blew out a breath. ]

Good, I'm glad you were able to get rid of them.

[shirleyhopeful]

Yes...for now.

I just hope that she won't come back anytime soon. [Even if it means getting to see Grune again...] Although, I have a feeling I'll be seeing her sometime in the future.

[runbysmiles]

[ Sora's smile faltered a bit. Yeah he knew how that one went too. ]

I know you'll be able to beat her again, if she does show up.

[shirleyhopeful]

[She lets out a giggle]

Yes, I hope so!

And if she does appear here in Vatheon...she won't know what hit her!

[runbysmiles]

Don't worry! If she does, I'll help you out! We'll take care of her together!
