I

[notzubats]

Who: Sora (AU)
Broadcast: Video!
Action: Marsiva
When: Today!

[The background area of the video feed looks very much like the empty hospitality deck Marsiva. And not unusual for newcomers, the network doesn't seemed to be noticed right away. Instead the boy on the other side looks more startled at his new surroundings. Because you know, it's not every day you wake up in SPACE]

Hello?!

[Yep. A completely empty ship. This is definitely creepy. He takes a few steps away from the camera, looking around and calling out]

Simba...! [a pause] Oh c'mon, this is no time to be messing around!

[And of course, there's no response. When he speaks again, he sounds more uncertain] ...Simba? ...Anybody?

[Then when there is still no response and he starts to become very sure he's alone, he rubs his arms and keeps eyeing the place warily as he mutters:] Great. Now what do I do?

[ simba? she's heard that name before... wasn't it from a kid's movie? some kind of lazy piece of shit lion??? nanako doesn't know for sure, but she does know that this boy looks new and could probably use some help. ]

Hello!

[ said a little louder to hopefully get his attention, and waving too. ]

[notzubats]

[!!!!]

[Hearing someone respond to him is very encouraging! He looks around, not noticing the communicator but clearly relieved in his expression that he might not be alone after all]

Oh! Hello! [he looks around] Uh- where are you?

video

[kotatsu]

Over here! There's a phone next to you, right? I'm on the screen!

[ and sora will find a small girl waving at him. ]

[notzubats]

Screen-

[luckily, he's dealt with a communicator before, so that explanation does it. He looks around before- aha!]

Oh, hey there! I seeya now!

[kotatsu]

Hi!

[ oh good, he found it. there's a relieved smile on her face. ]

Nice to meet you! I'm Nanako. Did you just get here?

[geonomy]

[It's kind of a slow month for newbies, huh? And... huh. This kid's hair is crazier than his, so Clay feels shonenly obligated to answer him.]

Hey! I'm here! Sort of.

video;

[notzubats]

[That's right Clay, crazy hair unite. But oh good, another person! Sora again looks around- confused that he doesn't see a person immediately.]

Sort of? How're you sorta here?

video;

[geonomy]

Well, take a look around. Do you see a little device of sorts around?

[He waves his hand, hoping the movement will attract the Elijah Wood-eyed creature.]

video;

[notzubats]

[Looking- oh hey! A communicator!]

Oh, ha, I get it now! [He waves at the screen- WHAT IS STRANGER DANGER???] Hey! Do you live here?

video;

[geonomy]

Um - Kinda? I'm on a different ship right now! You're in the Marsiva, and I'm on a smaller ship called the SS Vanquish. But I can still talk to you from here!

video;

[huaaaaagh]

Looking for a cat?

[there are a zillion cats named Simba, he's pretty sure]

video;

[notzubats]

[Well at least by now he's been introduced to the communicator]

A Shinx- [Because everyone knows what that is, right?] Have you seen him?

video;

[huaaaaagh]

I'm going to assume not.

[Even ignoring that pets generally don't follow people here, as far as he knows...]

I have no idea what that is, though.

video;

[notzubats]

You don't?

[he sounds a little surprised. But hey, there's a lot of pokemon. It's hard to know them all. Sora sure doesn't]

He's a... [what's that word to describe it] - He looks like a lion? Does that sound familiar?

video;

[huaaaaagh]

[a lion

named Simba

really]

Yeah, I know what lions are. So is it like a hybrid or something?

[Video]

[wolvenmemory]

Got your bearings yet, kid?

[Video]

[notzubats]

[Luckily by the time Irvine rings up- He was starting to calm down from his freak out with Kirito.]

Well, sorta I-

[Wait]

Uh...do I know you from somewhere?

[Video]

[wolvenmemory]

[He pauses foro a moment, squinting at the kid.

Did he know him from somewhere? His memory from Paradisa is still pretty fuzzy at best, but...

He does look familiar. He just can't place the name.]

Memory's a bit fuzzy. [He'd put his money on the augment, but he could be just chasing theories at that point.] But you're that one kid.

[Video]

[notzubats]

[Okay, so Sora feels happy that this guy seems to recall him. But on the other hand, hey-]

That one kid?

[He can't help but be a bit dry] Well that's specific.

[Not that Sora gave anything more specific himself, but hey!!!!]

[Video]

[wolvenmemory]

[Sorry, Sora. Except not really.]

Like I said, memory's a bit fuzzy. [He taps his head, where the augment is] Probably 'cause of this, for all I know.

[He falls silent, trying to search his memory.]

...Sora or Roxas or something, wasn't it? [He frowns. Those names at least sound like he's on the right track.]

Moonbay would probably remember you better.

[two_jedi_sticks]

[No time to be messing around? Is he expecting a prank?]

Are you okay over there?

video

[notzubats]

[Well by now, he's talked to enough people so he's starting to get a gist, and starting not to panic. Still-]

Well, uh-

[Sora was never a great liar. Not only that, but it doesn't help that he has a rather freaked out look on his face- and oh yeah, by now he's surrounded by several light fixtures that look like they've been blown up, with the shards on the ground in the background]

-- Y-Yeah! I'm fine!

video

[two_jedi_sticks]

[Expression turns very amused at the scene.]

What have you been doing over there? Let's hope the fleet isn't going to charge a repair bill.

video

[notzubats]

It was an accident!

[Yep, the immediate defense. Then, it's followed by worry.]

- Wait. They wouldn't actually charge me, would they?

video

[two_jedi_sticks]

I couldn't say. I've mostly kept things fixed up, not the other way around.

Anyway, I actually don't know what policy they have on that. I wouldn't be too surprised, though -- we apparently went through some things like accounts being frozen over cargo before, so there's some fishy things that go on.
