Who: Sora
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Bishop
When: After the Shuffle


Hello everyone. I'm Sora. [He pauses for a moment, as he has to shove aside the urge to introduce Goofy and Donald too. They aren't here with him. He's in this by himself for now. At least there are good people here too.]

I just arrived. I was assigned to the Bishop's security team. Which, uh, I don't think they need a ton of help in that area... [I mean, have you seen the person in charge of Bishop's security?]

But I still want to make sure I do my best to help my crew! The, uh, chip in my head [He talks about it like he still isn't sure what it is or what it does or if he should be worried about it] gives me the basics I need, but any pointers you have to share would be awesome.

Any tips to survive out here in general too. Let me hear them!

<sub>[ Oh no. Another cute kid, being pulled into all of this. Honestly, Atroma was getting crueler as the years went on, wasn't it?

Even so, he greets this small, bright young man with a smile on the video feed. ]</sub>

Welcome to the fleet, Sora. I'm Jim Kirk, on the Tourist.

Is there anything you're very unsure of at the moment? Maybe I can help with that first.

[keythatconnects]

Sure. I can't call the Keyblade - uh, that's my sword [He explains as he rubs the back of his head]. When I try my head starts to hurt.

Is that normal?

[universal_charm]

For here? I would say so. I don't have any special powers like some others in the Fleet, but from what I have come to understand those with gifts can have them muted to a degree. For the time being, I wouldn't try to summon this Keyblade.

[keythatconnects]

Yeah, I figured that part out at least. [He says this cheerfully, though there is a part of him that feels uncomfortable not having the Keyblade at hand. He feels too vulnerable without it.]

How are these ships managing to travel between worlds? Don't the Heartless give them trouble?

[universal_charm]

_{[ He titled his head slightly. ]}

Heartless? What are those?

Action

[tough_love]

[She really needed to get on selecting a new first mate already. At least that way the next time she does something dumb and her augment glitches out, she can pass the buck greeting the newbies. But she hasn't, so she can't, so not long after Sora's broadcast she'll be tracking him down aboard the ship looking...just, half asleep, really.]

Call for backup if you find yourself in trouble. That tip in particular should apply to most situations.

[Though, with Looma, it's one of those "do as I say, not as I do" type situations. And those two sentences are about as far as she gets before she cuts herself off with a long yawn. Unsurprisingly, Tetramand manners seem to be nonexistent on how to deal with that, so there's no politely covering her mouth, here.]

Even counting only those aboard this ship, most are capable of handling themselves in battle. Of the three I haven't personally observed, I have assurances at least two of them can handle themselves. So long as you avoid doing anything too foolish, you will be fine.

[Oh, how precious. The ship led by a giant madwoman and now a teenager on guard duty. Mantis is in his office when he spies Sora.]

Psycho Mantis, personnel support of the Bishop. It isn't that badly protected. What it lacked in your new role being filled in it made up for in having a couple of old professionals at fighting.

Welcome all the same. My door is the one with my name on it.

[keythatconnects]

Nice to meet you! So far I like everything I've seen on the Bishop. It's completely different than the ship I have back home, but different isn't bad. It's a new chance to learn if anything.

[keythatconnects]

They're monsters made from the darkness in people's hearts. Trust me, if they were around you'd know. They like to mess everything up.

[keythatconnects]

[Sora grins at her, clearly a little too cheerful when interacting with someone so sleepy, but she's probably going to have to get used to that.]

It's nice to know that I'm on a ship where people can count on each other. I don't know where I'd be without my friends back home.

[ginger_firebird]

Don't tell me you're another one who is used to traveling between planets? My home planet seems so underdeveloped these days.

[keythatconnects]

If it helps, people aren't supposed to travel between worlds where I'm from? I had to because I had the Keyblade.

Honestly, the idea that everyone can talk openly about this stuff is totally new to me. Usually I'm supposed to be careful about how I talk about it.

[universal_charm]

As far as I can tell we’ve never come across them. Which sounds like a good thing if they do exist in this reality.

You sound like you’re used to the concept of other worlds - other planets. Do you have space travel where you’re from?

[ Why are all these kids getting pulled here all the sudden? He get's its some kind of entertainment, in a detached sort of way, but all their audience is a bunch of assholes, apparently. ]

Hey, Sora. [ He nods. The Iron Bull. [ And the big guy with the pretty sweet eyepatch and...?horns?...smiles at the screen, giving a deep chuckle before continuing. ] Having a tight security team's not a bad thing, kid. It means nobody has to try to be a hero. Remember that.

[ He doesn't care if death isn't permanent around here. The last thing he wants to hear is this kid ran off and got himself killed being a Big Damn Hero. ]

So far nothing's been too light threatening. [ He doesn't need to know about the zombies. ] How about you ask some questions and I'll see what I can come up with? If I don't know the answer, I probably know who does.

[keythatconnects]

Sure do! But the pathways were mostly cut off before the Heartless came. Most of the worlds I've gone to don't know there are other worlds out there. It's still kind of weird that I get to talk openly about this stuff.

[keythatconnects]

Why wouldn't you want to try and be a hero?

[universal_charm]

Pathways? How were you traveling between worlds?

[theirondragon]

Because heroes never feel like heroes. Other people call them that.

[keythatconnects]

That doesn't mean you can't strive to be the type of person that other people would call that. If you want to help people and make the world a better place. That's not so bad is it?

[keythatconnects]

In my ship! Well, it belongs to my friends but I've learned to fly it lately.

[universal_charm]

Ah, so you just mean the routes between planets then?

_{[ Interesting term, pathways, but it was... nice. He liked it. ]}

Just you and your friends though?

_{[ Didn't sound like a big ship. ]}

[keythatconnects]

On the gummi ship? Yeah! It's just me, Donald, and Goofy. We travel to other worlds and try to stop the Heartless. We also took on this group of Nobodies called Organization XII.

I used to think they were all bad guys, but lately, I've learned some things that made me think plenty of them were being manipulated.

Some of them were still bad, though. Real bad.

[universal_charm]

A gummi ship? What's that?

_{[ A class of ship from this kid's world? Interesting. Sounded cute. ]}

I can't say I've heard of Nobodies or Organization XIII though. But it sounds like it was rough going. I wish I could tell you it will be smoother here.

[keythatconnects]

That's my ship.

Well, if it were too quiet it might end up dull right? Don't worry if things get too intense I'll protect you.

[universal_charm]

Well, yes, I gathered - what I meant was what kind of ship? I've never heard of a gummi ship before.

_{[ He blinks and then he chuckled. ]}

Heh, thanks. I'll be counting on you, though I can take care of myself pretty good.
