hi guys! so you know those memory rocks dropping outside? i really REALLY need to find mine! it's really important! really REALLY important! idk if you'll ever see my face in any of them but here's a selfie if you need it
[ Insert selfie! Big grin!Just look at his icons, it's this goober. ]
my hair's a lot shorter and my eyes look different but that's sort of what i'd look like!
anyway what's more important is my two friends! their names are donald and goofy and i think they'd be in a LOT of my memories
if you see them that's probably one of mine
i can't draw so i got a couple of my friends here to draw them
(i got one more! LOOK AT MARY'S!)
[ And lo and behold there are two files attached here! ]

[ Exhibit A: Naminé! ]

[ Exhibit B: Jason! ]

[ Exhibit C: Mary! ]
aren't they good? they look just like them!
(also people have told me that in their universes there are stories about my friends?? like they're on tv and stuff? that's pretty cool lol)
but yeah that's it i really need to find my memories
uh i don't have rewards or anything but if you want a favor or something when we meet up lmk and i bet i can do something for you!
okay, that's all. thanks!

That's the trade-off, isn't it? It's the whole point. If it didn't cause problems, everyone would do it! But you took on those problems so she wouldn't have to. [He peeks around the edge of that pillow with a little, lopsided smile.] Right?
no subject
I mean, yeah. Not like she had a Keyblade back then, she couldn't have done it. [ That was later, and everyone was very proud of her, and she rocked it. ] And. Well. I mean. [ He presses his lips into a line. Nah. Nope. He is not getting into his existential crisis right now. ] I didn't think about the problems. I didn't even know there'd be problems. I thought I was just going to die and that's it. It wasn't... supposed to go on after that.
But it did, and I had to fix all the problems I made, and I'd do it again. [ Sora frowns, putting the final touches on this little paper tube and inching it under the stone, pushing it along with a notebook like it's radioactive. ] That doesn't make me a hero. That just... makes me someone who cleans up after myself.
no subject
He'll settle for the next best thing.]
So does that make your official title: Sora, the Amazing Interdimensional Janitor?
no subject
Huh? [ Sora pauses in the middle of folding his little stone right up, tuts, then immediately decides not to be annoyed, because it's not like he's wrong. ]
Gee, got it in one. [ He laughs to himself, putting one last crease in this lil guy. There. Wrapped. He sticks it in his pocket. ] Just a professional, uh, world-hopping mopper. Broomer?
[ The mun realizes that this would be the perfect time to make an "okay broomer" joke, but Sora's not from the right time period. God damn it. ]
no subject
At least go with something like sweeper, man! One of those words with tons of meanings that sound cooler than the one you actually mean.
no subject
Okay, but, uh, what's a sweeper?
no subject
Then there's the real fun one. You know, the mercenary one. After all, what is an interdimensional janitor but just another mercenary sweeping up the dregs of our science fiction dystopias?
no subject
[ He, in fact, was not much of a soccer player in either life! Good to know. When Masaomi says "you know", Sora straightens where he's sitting, like yes of course I know, why on Earth wouldn't I know? Maybe he can just - ]
Right. I knew that.
[ - play it off totally unconvincingly, right, yeah. Sora is going to stick to his guns, even though he is nodding extremely hard. Overcompensating like no one's business. ]
But, um... if I didn't read a lot of sci-fi or play video games, would that be a totally normal thing for me to forget?
no subject
Masaomi decides to play nice this time. Anything to distract from the past neither of them were hyped about apparently.]
Yeah, sure. You strike me as more of the fantasy RPG type anyway. An old school knight livin' the rogue life.
no subject
Arr pee... gee? [ That's gotta stand for something, right? Tell him about your vidya, dude. ] What, kind of like a fairy tale game or something?
no subject
no subject
So... the difference between RPGs and other games is that you get to make friends? [ He nods. Seems pretty accurate. ] What's the part about living a rogue life all about?
