[Sora seems as happy as ever, probably excited about something or other again going by his usual timing of using the bracelet like this.....]

Hey guys! So, if I'm still figuring the timing about right, Valentines is coming up! I'm gonna make chocolates!

[No. Not just for his friends from home, either. Knowing Sora he probably faces that same thing with Christmas with wanting to do this for Everyone.......

Someone should really tell him to learn to calm it down. If that's even possible for him.]

Oh, right. Not everyone might get it. But, uh, Valentines is like a celebration of friends! Or more. If you have someone special! You get them flowers or chocolate and show you appreciate them! It's not as huge a thing as Christmas or anything, but. I still like it! And if I make too much chocolate, just means I can save some for later!

[So this is clearly just a win all around, right? Obviously.]

On the other hand, with my training lately, I figured I can do something else too! I don't think Riku was too thrilled though.... but I can help in fights by taking hits for others!

[......this is decidedly probably not something he should seem as thrilled about? But he is anyway. Because of course he is if it means he can help keep his friends safe.]

[madcuriosity]

I've never made chocolate before... OH! But I have made something yummy before! [She's not going to tell him because that would ruin the surprise.]

[keybearing]

You did? What'd you make? Cupcakes?

[He doesn't get that it might be a surprise. For him. If she's mentioning it?]

[madcuriosity]

Hmm? Oh, I've never made cupcakes, I'd like to though. I even like saying the word! Cupcakes! It's quite a fun little word, isn't that so?

[keybearing]

Heh, yeah! Maybe we can make some cupcakes together sometime then. I can show you! They're pretty simple, like little mini cakes!

[madcuriosity]

Well, so long as they don't make me grow smaller or grow taller, I shall be excited to give it a try.

[keybearing]

I have no idea how chocolate would do that, so I think you're pretty safe.

[He still has no idea what was with the weird drink and food in Wonderland like that. So he has no way to replicate it even if he wanted to.]

[madcuriosity]

Well, I don't know how a DRINK ME or EAT ME can do it either but it very much does. Still, I am very fond of chocolate... I might try it even if it does!

[keybearing]

I'd hope my chocolate wouldn't do that. I'm not sure what I'd need to add for that to happen. At least, nothing here has done that to us. Just in Wonderland that I know of.

[So probably something unique to that world? Sora isn't sure.]

[madcuriosity]

I doubt it will, we're not in Wonderland. I've never had food do anything except in Wonderland and the Looking Glass... well... I should say, I've never had food change me the way food in Wonderland and the Looking Glass did. I'm sure it changed me in other ways I'm not aware of though.

[keybearing]

Changed you in other ways? I've had that stuff too....

[He has no idea if it has other consequences besides the change in size. He hopes not?]

[madcuriosity]

I thought you might have. It does seem to be everywhere, isn't that just so?

[keybearing]

Yeah. It helped us to shrink in finding you in the first place when that doorknob fell asleep.

[madcuriosity]

You... were looking for me?

[keybearing]

We were following the rabbit and then we found you. With the Queen saying you tried to take her heart. So we went and tried to find evidence that it was the Heartless that did it, but you disappeared then.

[He didn't see her after that until he found her at Hollow Bastion. But he figures she already knows this since he......yeah still hasn't quite clicked this isn't exactly the same Alice.]

[madcuriosity]

[Well, she is and she isn't. She's still HIS Alice even if she isn't THAT Alice.]

Oh, I'm terribly sorry for not thanking you with the Queen of Hearts, I know she can be quite intimidating. [Someone ask Riku what happened to Alice.] But I don't think... that's happen to me yet. I've been to Wonderland, but I didn't get accused of stealing any hearts. So I suppose that means I'll be returning.

[keybearing]

It's okay. It wasn't your fault. We showed her it wasn't you!

[He gives a shrug. He's not sure how often or how many times Alice might have been to Wonderland, or how long for. He just saw her there to know about those times.]

[madcuriosity]

Well, of course, I would have never stolen from someone, certainly not on purpose!

[keybearing]

No, I know. I knew it wasn't you. That's why we went to try find evidence it was the Heartless. I'm still not sure how she would think it was you anyway when the Heartless don't look anything like you.....

[But maybe the Queen was that freaked out, didn't get the best look. Heck if he knows. He got there in the aftermath of it with Alice attempting to defend herself.]

[madcuriosity]

Well, the Queen of Hearts is not the most logical, she's quite mad. Everyone in Wonderland is, after all. She once accused the Knave of Hearts for stealing her tarts when the tarts were right in the middle of the courtroom, so how could he steal what was in front of everyone!

[keybearing]

When the tarts were.....really? Actually no somehow that doesn't surprise me.....

[It's Wonderland. It's the Queen, after all. Sora has enough experience there to figure she would pull something like that. Blaming everyone else.]

[madcuriosity]

I'm really so glad I have someone else I can talk to Wonderland about. It's so hard to explain things, sometimes.

[keybearing]

Yeah. I get that. It's....pretty unique! But I mean. You know I know about it if you did want to talk with someone.

[madcuriosity]

I would like that very much, Wonderland is so terribly strange but I came just from the Looking Glass before coming here.

[keybearing]

Well, I know about Wonderland. And you can tell me about the Looking Glass stuff. I haven't been there yet but I know about going to other worlds and all. So I get it.

[madcuriosity]

Well, did you know that the Looking Glass is like a very big chessboard and the Red King and Queen and the White King and Queen are constantly going to war... oh! But not in a serious way. It's all a very big game.
