PSA [Video]

[The video opens on a very serious looking Sora. He adjusts the camera a bit before sitting back from it a little. It's not quite clear where he is, though it seems to be outdoors somewhere. Maybe a picnic table somewhere?]

So, um... Hello. I'm Sora, for anyone I haven't met around Temple Town, and I've got something kind of important to talk about.

[He holds up what most would probably swear was a child's drawing, though it is at least clear what it's supposed to be... mostly. The image in question appears to be a Shadow.]

This... [He gives the picture a small shake for emphasis.] ...is a Heartless. This one is called a Shadow and this is probably the most common type of Heartless. They can be found pretty much anywhere Heartless are.

[He puts this first picture down and picks up another. It's another Heartless, only this one has a little bit of color to it besides its yellow eyes. It also has a distinctive emblem on it. It's a Soldier Heartless.]

There are a lot of different kinds of Heartless with different forms and abilities. Some fight with plain old fisticuffs like this one. [This picture also gets a shake for emphasis.] Others use magic and some are even skilled with weapons. All of them are dangerous.

[He pauses here, clearly thinking about something.]

Okay, there are a couple that aren't really dangerous. There are some mushroom shaped Heartless. Most of them are as dangerous as other Heartless, but the red and white ones and the blue and yellow ones just want to play games and they'll reward you for playing with them. There's also the Bulky Vendor, which looks like a capsule machine. It doesn't attack directly, but it will eventually self destruct. Still, if you can turn the crank before it self destructs, you'll get whatever it's carrying. I don't recommend it, though, unless you're really quick and even then, you're taking a risk.

[He puts the pictures away and looks into the camera, trying to look very serious. Sora being Sora, this is somehow cute, though his effort to look serious should be telling.]

Heartless are made from the darkness in people's hearts. Just about every heart has at least a little bit of darkness, so every heart could potentially make a Heartless. One way is for someone to give into their own darkness. The other way is for the Heartless to drag a heart into darkness. They will be actively trying to do this. Strong hearts or pure hearts attract them more. As for fighting them, magic and magic weapons are the most effective, but it's better to avoid them if you can. That's not... too easy, since they can go just about anywhere, but wards and charms can keep them out of a lot of places. Strong Light, the Light of the heart, can send them away too.

I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about them.

[After a thoughtful pause, he reaches up to turn the camera off, muttering something about 'nobodies' and hoping there aren't any of them lurking around as well...]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Nice pictures.

Also, you were a Heartless once. Do you remember that?

I was no--

[There's a pause here as he actually thinks about it.]

I was. I forgot, but I was. How could I forget something like that?

Don't ask me. I have no idea how your brain works half of the time.

I think you were a Shadow.

Hey, I'm being serious! How can anyone forget something like that?

Hmm. I was. Tch, if Kairi hadn't been there, Donald and.. Goofy probably wouldn't have realized it was me.

I'm being serious. I don't know. You're the one that managed to forget.

Yeah, about that. I seem to have managed to forget a lot more than that. Like, about a year's worth of stuff. Last thing I remember before waking up in some kind of pod in a beat up old mansion was spotting Pluto with a letter and following him hoping he could lead me to you and the King. I don't how I got to that pod from there. I forgot all the magic I'd learned too.

It's kind of unnerving...

I imagine it is.

But that's...

Something I'd rather talk about outside of an online bulletin board.

...

Where are you right now?

At the library. Not working, if you're going to ask.

I'll be right there.

... And we need to get you your own computer.

No we don't. I'm fine using the computers here.

Take your time.

[He'll be telling you off about your refusal to get a computer in person, buddy, seeing as he left after posting that last comment.

Upon arriving at the library, he checks his miffedness at the door. Getting into an argument here could get him thrown out and might get Riku fired. Not something he wants, which is why he'll be trying to drag Riku outside to chat. He had said he wasn't working, right?]

[Riku will have gotten off the computer by the time Sora gets there. He wasn't working, like he said, and thus allowed himself to be dragged outside.

Once outside, Sora gets a confused look and a slight headtilt--Riku's general nonverbal question method.]

[Is Riku seriously confused about this? Sora just huffs.]

That last comment gave me the impression that you know something about how I got into that pod. Do you?

[He may or may not be pouting and if he is, he's not quite aware of it.

[Nah, not confused. ~~Just pretending to be. Avoidance tactic go!~~ He slowly spells out 'maybe' and pats his pockets for a pen. He has a notebook with him, but it's not open yet.]

Maybe?

[And that earns flat stare. You can be infuriating sometimes, buddy.]

[But you still love hiiim. Just a little bit.

He sighs, finally finding a pen and flipping open the notebook.]

'You ~~are~~ were in the pod because Namine needed to fix your memories. Shes the reason you forgot what you did.'

[Of course. It's possible to think someone is a pain in the ass and still love them.]

Naminé?

[Wasn't that the name from the little note in Jiminy's journal?]

So, wait... someone tampered with my memories and Naminé fixed them?

'She probably tampered with them too and was fixing what she had messed up.'

[He didn't like making Naminé out to be the badguy after all she did for him, but that was closer to the truth.]

Probably? You're not sure?

[Really, he'd give Naminé the benefit of the doubt. If she had some reason for doing it, he wouldn't hold it against her if she had done something to his memory.]

So the time I'm missing.... Is that... what I forgot or does that have something to do with Naminé putting my memory back together?

'I dont know exactly what happened to you in the castle. And most of that year youre missing is the time you were asleep.'

[It is really weird writing 'were' instead of 'are'...to him, Sora should still be asleep.]

More than a year sleeping, huh? Don't ever tell Kairi. She calls me a lazy bum often enough as it is.

So... I got lost in some kind of castle, had my memory messed with and had it fixed before waking up in that mansion... Lovely. But, where you? Last I saw you...

[And he trails off here, recalling that he'd kind of left Riku in a bad way, even if Riku had agreed at the time that they hadn't had much choice. It doesn't make him feel any better about it.]

[Heh, he won't. He also won't tell Sora that he himself called Sora lazy when he found him in the pod.]

'Basically. I was in the castle as well. We just kept missing each other.'

[Well, after that, he was playing hide-and-seek with the Organization, but that's not really important.]

[If he did tell Sora that, it would probably just earn an eye roll.]

Oh. It guess it could have helped things if we'd met up, but... [Enter random slight change of subject here.] Huh, do you have any idea why if took so long to fix my memory?

[It kind of might be, but since Sora hasn't even the slightest hint of it, he's not going to ask about it.]

[He doesn't answer that question right away, suddenly finding the ground more interesting than the conversation for a couple seconds, then hesitating before writing as well.]

'Im not sure exactly why. I never asked Namine why. But messing around with the Organization slowed things down a lot.'
