[Video] Has it been so long?

[runbysmiles]

[ The video feed accidentally clicks on as Sora was looking at his calender on the phone. He's scrolling over it not really paying attention until the date actually catches his attention. His eyes go wide for a moment in surprise and then a soft smile settles on his face. He really should pay more attention to these sort of things, but it's easy to lose track of time in the bubble. ]

Wow, I've been here a year already.

[ Sora laughs lightly. ]

Man, I can't believe I missed my birthday too. That's so lame.

[ Despite the realization Sora doesn't seem too bummed out about it. The past few weeks had been well...interesting to say the least. ]

His name is Cloud. Blue eyes, spiky blond hair. You'd recognize him if you saw him.

[runbysmiles]

Yeah! I know Cloud!

[ Not quite the same Cloud Zack knows but hey mistaken identity and all. ]

We met a few times back home!

[ugly_soldier_dude]

You... did?

[Now this is odd. Dead Zack had been privy to some of Cloud's experiences and memories, and Sora did not show up in any of them. Of course, maybe they met when he was younger...]

How did you guys meet?

[runbysmiles]

Mm hmm!

We met at the Colosseum!

[ugly_soldier_dude]

The... Colosseum?

[Something is nooooot adding up here.]

I've never heard of that. How did you guys meet?

[runbysmiles]

Yeah! Oh um...Cloud was fighting in the tournament. It was a trick by Hades to get at Hercules, but Cloud didn't know!

[ Sora's hands moved animatedly as he talked. Man that had been a long time ago. ]

[ugly_soldier_dude]

...

[Okay, they need to back up because that all just went over Zack's head.]

Are you sure you're not confusing him with someone else? We're both from the same world and none of that stuff rings a bell.

[runbysmiles]

I don't think so...he's about this tall, [ Sora gestured with his hands. ] and has short blonde hair that looks kinda like this.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

That sounds like him.

[This is very, very strange.]

At least physically. But none of that lines up with the Cloud I know.

[runbysmiles]

[ Sora shrugged. ]

Maybe he's from your future?

[ugly_soldier_dude]

He's not. He's from around the same time I am. [Well, sort of. He's from what Zack recalls from the afterlife.] There's no Cole- thing in our world.

oops you didn't see that |D;;;

[runbysmiles]

[ Sora had to think about that for a bit. ]

Maybe I'm from after that then?

I'm not really from the Colosseum either. It's another world, we just both ended up there.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Whoa whoa, another world?

[Yeah, now they have to be talking about two different people. Or two different... Clouds?]

Kid, I can promise you, Cloud's never been to another world. So either you've got him confused with someone else, or there are two Clouds out there.

[runbysmiles]

I don't think so....

[ Sora just couldn't comprehend that. ]

But maybe he goes after! You know in the future or something?
