Who: Sora
Broadcast: Open
Action: Blameless
When: After he wakes up.

[Sora has been asleep for the last few weeks and while others might be worried or upset at missing time, he appears on the broadcast and just seems kind of tired. He yawns and scratches his head.]

So... I guess I've been pretty out of it lately, huh? What'd I miss?

We're in a new system, now. It's a little different, for sure. Just be careful?

Me? I'm always careful.

[Haha. Yeah right.]

..Okay, I've got to call bullshit on that.

[ 1. Sora's a teenager 2. He definitely does not seem like the cautious type. ]

[He chuckles at Carl calling him out.]

Ok sure. You got me there. I'm hardly ever careful.

So what kind of dangers are we talking about?

Pirates, raiders, smugglers. Among other things. How do you feel about fighting?

Pirates?? Really? I've fought those before!

[ Carl just blinks at him. ] Like.. swashbuckling, 'shiver me timbers' pirates?

Totally.

Only these ones turned to skeletons in the moonlight.

I'm sorry, what? That sounds so cool..

It was! But also pretty scary. And annoying because they couldn't get hurt when they were in the moonlight and they sure liked to ambush us outside.

That's.. really weird. And also creepy.

You're telling me.

Not all of the pirates I saw were like that though. There was one who even teamed up with me to help take down the creepy ones.

Oh yeah? Seems weird that a pirate would go against his own.

[ Then again, he really didn't know any pirates outside of a movie or two. ]

Why not? I think the whole thing about pirates is that they are only out for themselves, right?

But Jack was all right and those other pirates were jerks.

I guess I don't know all that much about pirates except for movies or books.

Well, I could tell you that they smell bad too? Probably not a lot of showers out there on the open sea.
