4th Key Smash

[dork_of_keys]

[From the looks of things, it seems like Sora's worked out a way to have one of his Spirits hang on to the communicator and film whatever he's doing. Judging by the bouncing, Jelly Bean has it... strapped to his head, maybe?

More importantly, it looks like Sora's found a skateboard.

...This will end well. Sora does seem to be proficient with it. At least, most missed tricks (and there really aren't many of those) only result in a less than perfect landing.

He's obviously in First District in Traverse Town, though the presence of the board to begin with might suggest that he's at least visited Twilight Town by now. It's fairly obvious that he probably intends to end this post by asking if anyone wants to join him for some fun.

And then he approaches the stairs in front of the accessory shop, having started near Second District, and attempts to grind down the rail. The angle of approach isn't the best, however. While he gets part way down, he manages to lose the board a little more than halfway and come down hard on the rail, tumbling off and tumbling the rest of the way down the stairs only to come to rest at the bottom curled up and clutching at his now bruised vulnerables in obvious pain and embarrassment.

Bruce circles above him clearly laughing his sick little head off while Jelly Bean bounces up to him to find out if he's okay. He may or may not be regretting the decision to film this...]

They have them in Twilight Town.

[And now Sora's picturing it, mostly because he has yet to see Wash without his armor. As for Sora's well-being, the worst injury is wounded pride.]

[allfunandgamesuntil]

We'll have to get him on one of them; I wonder how long it's been...

[Even if it had been years since he'd been on a skateboard, Wash still has the reflexes of a highly trained combat soldier. It would be awesome to watch.]

[dork_of_keys]

I was planning to ask if anyone was interested in skateboarding.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

It's not really my thing, but I'm sure some people will want to try it.

[dork_of_keys]

I know at least one person who might want to, but I'm not so sure he wants to talk to me much right now.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Who's that?

[York hadn't noticed any fights lately, but he can't keep track of everyone.]

[dork_of_keys]

Roxas. He just got here not too long ago.

[They hadn't exactly argued per se, but knowing where he came from in the time line and how their first encounter had gone (not terrible, but not all that great either), Sora figures he might be better off leaving Roxas be for now. He does want to talk to him, eventually, but he won't force it if Roxas doesn't want to talk to him.]

[allfunandgamesuntil]

He's the blond kid?

[He did seem to have a chip on his shoulder when he arrived.]

[dork_of_keys]

Yeah. It's... Things are a little complicated for us and his point in our time line isn't a good one.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

I totally understand that one. Anything I can do?

[dork_of_keys]

Not that I can think of, but thanks. I think he just needs a little time to get it together.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[York nods. He doesn't even want to think about the problems his timeline differences could lead to.]

Hopefully that'll happen soon.

[dork_of_keys]

[Timeline issues really bite. Probably why Sora hates time travel in fiction as it is and even more so after discovering that it's actually possible in some universes...]

If my information's right, the last few days before he ended up here were pretty stressful. He's got a lot on his mind and he hasn't had time to think about any of it. But he does have the time now. It might be all he needs.

[He knows 'stressful' is putting it mildly regarding the situation Roxas came from, even if it is also accurate.]

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[York can relate to 'stressful'; Wash has stressful covered enough for five people.]

That's good to hear. Hopefully things will be quiet enough that he can find his balance again.
