001 ☆ Voice/Action for New Bark

[paopuprincess]

[The whole world felt like a blur. A moment ago, she was fleeing for her life. Her two best friends had vanished in front of her eyes. Monsters were descending upon her. She was worried that she would be joining them in the darkness soon.

Suddenly, she's in a house. Some woman she's never met is claiming to be her mother. She hands her some weird device she's never seen before, as well as a backpack and a strange-looking ball, before shoving her outside.

It's raining.

She's barely had time to process all of this, but her body instinctively runs under a nearby tree for shelter. Would she be safe here, or is this a trap? This is a world unlike anything she's seen before. Her hand reaches for the device she was just given. Apparently it worked like some kind of radio. She contemplates, for a moment, if she should use it. She might be able to find her friends if she used it, but she might just help the heartless find her. She clicks it on.]

Donald? Goofy?

...

Sora?! Riku?! [They're not here, Kairi. You know that. Sora vanished. Riku was possessed by the darkness. Still, some part of her needed to call out their names.]

Is anybody out there? I need to find my friends!

_{[She refrains from saying 'I know'. There's no real need to bring up the fact that she's met her before.]}

Yeah, years.

Don't worry, though. Most people don't stick around that long.

[paopuprincess]

[Years. It sounds scary at first, but really, is this much different from her waking up in the Destiny Islands as a child?]

Mm, I can think of worse places to live.

[foolishwren]

Much worse.

_{[Heather knows FIRSTHAND that there are much worse places.]}

[paopuprincess]

[Sadly, so does Kairi.]

So... what's there to do around here for fun?

[foolishwren]

Well, pretty much anything anyone does around here has to do with the Pokemon.

You tried opening that ball yet?

[paopuprincess]

Uh... yeah. I was actually going to ask about that.

There's this... giant starfish following me around.

Any idea what that's about?

[foolishwren]

Yeeeaaah, that'd be your starter Pokemon.

If you're lucky, it's gonna be your best damn friend in this place.

If you're not so lucky, you'll probably drive each other nuts.

_{[Heather's not sure where on the luck spectrum she falls, because with her starter she sort of got both. :I]}
