{6th Key; Voice}

[keybearing]

[Sora's either taken a bit to click that he has a new ability. Or he just hadn't said anything about it yet exactly. Which is why he speaks up now. After a longer than usual absence on his end at least, from the network with the bracelets in him piping up to say something.]

Hey guys! Ah, I think I figured a new power again? That's kinda cool? It's...um. I need to bleed to do it though. I think it sort of gives the other person like a boost to get stronger? Or something like that? I bet that'll definitely come in handy!

[He probably discovered this while training in sparring with one of his friends accidentally or something. And yes he did say that was kinda cool. At the cost of weakening himself to aid his friends, of course.....because that is just how Sora rolls. For all that his friends worry about how reckless he can be and how sacrificing he can be if he sees someone else in trouble.]

Oh! Also! I know we've been here a while so most of us have probably had a birthday or have one coming up, right? So everybody knows they gotta have a party with cake and presents and all? I guess I kinda got distracted the other month from having mine...but I'm sixteen now!

[And....totally ignoring that chances are he is not gonna be celebrating that with his friends back home. Actually. Yes. Yes he is. Which is probably at least in part why he never said anything in March, but still. Clearly that he is sixteen now is the important news, guys! Belatedly. Sora just doing his part to cheer everyone up and terrify and worry them all at once of course.]

worlds like asgard?

text

[keybearing]

Hm. Not exactly? If I had to compare maybe Traverse Town was similar in that it had people from all kinds of worlds together but even then it didn't have gods like this or specific powers?

text

[trafficreport]

that where you're from?
or place you visited.

text

[keybearing]

I'm from Destiny Islands. Traverse Town is a world where people who have lost their home worlds can go.

text

[trafficreport]

worlds ended?

[Huh. Wonder if...]



[Nah. Don't think like that.]

text

[keybearing]

Yeah. I know they were restored back when we defeated the one we thought was responsible at the time though. The Heartless don't just take people's hearts, but sometimes the hearts of the worlds. That's why they're such a big threat. I haven't see any here though.

text

[trafficreport]

pretty self-explanatory name.
they take souls?

[The robbing of souls is something he's a little more familiar with than the theft of hearts.]

text

[keybearing]

Hearts. It usually means that person becomes a Heartless themselves.

[Unless they were particularly strong, in which case it was usually a Nobody that is created. It could get a little complicated with some being made artificially too.]

text

[trafficreport]

literal heart?

text

[keybearing]

I mean, there's no blood or anything? But. Yeah.

[Kairi was essentially like a lifeless puppet, unable to react to anything without her heart and all so.]

text

[trafficreport]

sounds like souls to me.

[If it's not your literal heart, what is it??]

text

[keybearing]

It's complicated? I've never had to really explain it to someone else before. But it's fine, there's no Heartless here that I know of.

text

[trafficreport]

hope it stays that way.

[Just saying, if people's spaceships can crash into the place, there's no telling what other shit from other people's worlds might sneak its way in.]

text

[keybearing]

Me too. This has been like a break from everything back home.

[There had already been some from other worlds after all. So there's the chance. But Sora would really. Rather not.]

text

[trafficreport]

that's one thing.

[A "break" from things at home sounds nice. Can't relate, though.]

text

[keybearing]

One good thing about this place at least. Or, it's like a break for me, anyway.

[Especially given his own situation back home.]

text

[trafficreport]

that's what some people keep saying.

[For Jet, it's nothing more than a break from being, uh, dead.]

text

[keybearing]

Or like a second chance. Depending on things back home for some I guess.

[Not that Sora has been that open about things back home outside of talking to Riku and Namine but still.]

text

[trafficreport]

true.
some people have died.

[Jet included.]

text

[keybearing]

Yeah. I know.

text

[trafficreport]

guess it's kind of a break from being dead.

text

[keybearing]

Another chance, yeah. Something like that. I mean, people are from all kinds of different times and worlds, so. Maybe some were pulled here as they died or something.

[Like he kind of assumes he might have been, but. Not that Sora will actually admit that and talk about it too openly.]

text

[trafficreport]

plenty were.
i was.

text

[keybearing]

I think I might be too. At least. From what I last remember and all.

text

[trafficreport]

don't know for sure?
