001 ☆ Sora [AU3] ☆ Video/Action

[skyofreverie]

[So there's a certain spiky brown-haired kid sitting at a table in Junes' food court. It certainly looks like Sora. He's got a small smile when the video feature kicks on. Though there's something a bit off about him as the visible skin looks pale.]

So...hi. My name's Sora and I just got here a few days ago. I've been kinda adjusting. Thought this place might've been something else actually. [A nervous laugh and he scratches the back of his head.]

Anyway, Neku told me that some people were here so if the word "Facility" means anything to you, you should come visit. I'm having a burger at this giant store called Junes.

[Awkward silence.]

And uhm, I noticed that there are some familiar faces here that might know me. It'd be great to hear from you.

[It's followed by a long pause, a frown and quiet muttering:] How do I turn this thing off again?

[Action]

[Anyone who comes to see him in person, will find him sitting at a table by himself outside. An empty burger wrapper stuffed into a fry container and a half-full cup sitting on a tray in front of him. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry, just relaxing at the table.]

Mayfield? Never heard of it.

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

Most people haven't. It's another strange place that brought people from elsewhere.

Video

[skyofreverie]

What sort of place was it...if you don't mind me asking.

[Sora knows he wouldn't want to share all the details about the Facility.]

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

Not a very nice one, for most of the time we were there. The people in charge considered us their toys.

[Which annoys her on general principle because it is so not okay to use that degree of power for that.]

Video

[skyofreverie]

I can understand that. Me, I was stuck in a place we called the Facility. The ones in charge thought the same thing.

[Except not only were they toys, they were lab rats.]

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

It seems to be disturbingly common.

Video

[skyofreverie]

Are there a lot of other people here that come from somewhere that wasn't their original world?

[He knows of six that came from the Facility, including him.]

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

There's at least two others from Mayfield, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Video

[skyofreverie]

Yeah there's five others from the Facility. At least that I know of anyway.

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

I'm pretty sure Death or I would notice anyone else from Mayfield. There's a few that I recognized from there but didn't come from there.

Video

[skyofreverie]

Death? [He laughs then.] Yeah, I know that feeling. Lots of familiar faces but none of them know you in return.

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

He's my... partner might be the best word.

[There is no good noun for a seven foot skeleton one is romantically entangled with]

At least I'm used to knowing people without them realizing who I am.

Video

[skyofreverie]

Oh! That's great that he came along with you.

[Sora's partner is absent from this world.]

Yeah, you do sorta get used to it after a while. It can be sad though.

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

We're really lucky like that.

[She's not sure there even is anyone else this could happen with]

Even before. People don't remember their first conversation with me. They just don't.

Video

[skyofreverie]

[Blinks curiously.]

How come?

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

It just seems to be a rule of the universe.

Video

[skyofreverie]

Oh. Well, there are a bunch of different universes so maybe it'll be different in this one.

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

Well, here I don't tend to be on duty when I first meet people.

Video

[skyofreverie]

What's your duty?

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

I'm Death.

Video

[skyofreverie]

[Something passes over his face - pain, grief - before he pulls it back.]

Oh. [Pause.] So there's two Deaths here?

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

I've run into a few others who do the job, but two that go by the name.

<small[A brief pause]</small>

Some people call me Didi.

Video

[skyofreverie]

[Sora has probably seen her - or at least someone like her. Several times. Not that it's what bothers him. Still, he pushing that aside and smiling.]

Well, everyone calls me Sora.

Re: Video

[acapriciousthing]

Good to meetcha, Sora.

Video

[skyofreverie]

You too, even though I might've met you before.
