hi guys! uhhhh i hope i'm doing this right

my name's sora and some friends and me are trying to build a boat!


we finished a raft first cause it was easier, but i've only seen hand tools laying around so getting the wood and shaping it and stuff sure is taking awhile. we've made a couple before so even though we don't have anything fancy it'll probably just take a few days, but it'd sure go a lot faster with help.

and maybe sandpaper, i only found a little bit.

anyway, is anyone else used to building stuff?
even if you just wanna help out that'd be great! i guess i don't really have a way to pay you or anything, but i'll let you name the boat! that's fair, right? or if we get lots of help we could probably make more than one.

a skiff should be just enough to get around and i figure to hold 2 people it'd have to be like..... 8 feet long, and for 3 maybe at least 12. it's gonna take awhile though! even with my dad and all his stuff back home it was almost 3 whole weeks. i kinda figured if we got lots of hands that we could make up for not having any of the special gadgets. like i heard you can sand wood down by just using rocks inside a shirt! i already have lots of blisters


oh! and riku said it'd be cool to see if anybody knows how to uhhh what was it

make a lens? so we could use
a torch as a spotlight?

i think that part'll be a little further off

[ Can't blame him for trying! ]

two reallys huh.
tough call.
maybe one and a half reallys. about that tall.

[ This is really dumb, guys. ]

[dualikey]

[look riku, you started this stupid game]

not a chance! he's definitely taller than axel and axel was one and a half reallys

i was in this guy's cabin

it was a SHOEBOX

[equinoctials]

[ He did. No regrets. Maybe a little regret. ]

guess we are talking about the same guy.

[ Reminded by the mention, Riku wonders, for a moment, how their fiery-haired ally is holding up.

Probably has his hands full with his friends back and a whole life ahead of them back at Twilight Town. ]

still not giving up, though.

[riku's entire character arc in a single phrase: maybe a little regret.]

guess we are talking about the same guy he says

you saw nothing

[equinoctials]

[ Not wrong??? ]

heading back soon.
any requests before I leave the shop?

buy my silence

[dualikey]

canned peaches!!

[equinoctials]

seriously?
fne. AFTER you eat the canned vegetables.

[dualikey]

aw come on what are you my mom?

[equinoctials]

I'm the guy who has to listen to your stomach growl all night.

[dualikey]

it's growling for good food! not for spinach!

[equinoctials]

maybe it's not fine cuisine, but it's still good for you.
anyway didn't YOU get taught by a master chef?

[dualikey]

that's!


that's different!

[equinoctials]

[ Sora's protest is so Sora that Riku can't help the puff of fond laughter that bubbles up out of him all at once. ]

when you put your training to use you get to pick the ingredients.
for now, you gotta eat your green stuff, Sora.

[ He doesn't make the rules. ]

[dualikey]

this sounds like a trap riku

this sounds like if i do the cooking i don't have to eat the vegetables

[equinoctials]

all I said was you get to pick the ingredients if you cook.

[ Kairi might not let the lack of vegetables slide, though. Riku might be banking on it. ]

[dualikey]

that's the same thing!!

[equinoctials]

sounds like you're not objecting, master chef.

[equinoctials]

not up to the challenge? come on, Sora, you get to choose. what's not to like?
