[redactable] catchall for sora

The one we tried breaking into? Guess that explains why it was locked in the first place. It wasn't ready for us.

[but what a question. he folds his arms over his chest and leans against the doorframe, successfully blocking the kitchen while he thinks of the right words to say.]

It's not exactly what I expected, but it doesn't surprise me either. I had a feeling this place was in trouble but I didn't know it'd be like this. What worries me is that they don't even know how we're supposed to gather the nova at all.

[he glances at yona then.] But we're going to do it, right?

[dawnblushed]

If our worlds are really at stake, then I don't see that we have any choice but to do it.

[...it's hard to believe, but. the fact that they were able to be here at all is indication enough that the situation isn't quite as simple as "our worlds are far away from here, so how could they be in danger?" after all - if there's enough of a connection to take them here, there's enough of a connection for the trouble here to spread.]

I just don't like not knowing what "doing it" is going to mean.

[reconnective]

That part bothers me, too. It can't be too bad if we're going to be split up into teams and still working together. That's what Fox told me. But I wonder why the Realm hasn't told them what to do yet.

We also don't know what's going to happen if people decide not to participate.

[dawnblushed]

It would take a pretty contrary person to decide not to participate when their entire world is at stake. Even if they don't want to help our hosts because they're mad about being kidnapped, you'd think they'd at least be willing to help themselves so they have somewhere to go home to.

[like. she's just saying.]

This whole "Realm" thing seems a little suspicious, though. At least be a little more clear about what you want, Realm!

[reconnective]

You'd be surprised. Some people just choose to be contrary. [judging by his expression he seems to be thinking of something in particular but it's fine.] Besides, if all of us are supposed to be helping out I'm sure there will be people who feel like they can help less.

[boo on those people.]

--maybe that's what we should have asked Fox. If we could talk to the Realm ourselves.

[dawnblushed]

If anyone tries that, we'll just have to convince them to pull their weight.

[boo. booooo.]

...that's something we can ask next time we talk to any of them, I guess.

[reconnective]

You're right. They can't say no if both of us are convincing them. [teamwork!]

I forgot to ask them about the rock, too. [it's. just a rock, sora.] I had so many things I wanted to ask, but when they started talking about our memories and stuff it almost didn't matter as much.

[dawnblushed]

[i hope someone tries to say no so we can double-team them with sora and yona making puppydog eyes at them]

...I feel like I had more things I wanted to ask them, too. But hearing that our worlds are in danger was sort of... distracting.

[reconnective]

[given that most people aren't used to something like that, he gets it.]

I asked Fox and at least right now time isn't passing. So that means our friends and everyone back home are still safe.

[dawnblushed]

...that's a relief, at least.

[she looks down at her (slightly burnt) hands.]

We'll just have to do everything we can to make sure they stay that way.

[reconnective]

[WHY ARE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE INJURED AHHHH]

Exactly. I'm not going to let anything happen to my friends. Even if it means we have to play along with this competition. [which he still has some Thoughts on.] How competitive do you think the people here will be?

[dawnblushed]

I think that'll depend on exactly what sort of competition we're looking at.

[reconnective]

If all of the teams are meant to collect nova, then it's a competition to do it faster than every other team or collect more than the others, right? But I don't know how the collecting even works. Any ideas?

[dawnblushed]

[she shakes her head]

That's what I don't really understand. I overheard them say that they're working on finding out how we're supposed to do it, but... you'd think that would be the first thing they wouold know, right? Since that's the whole reason we're here?

[reconnective]

I thought that was weird, too, but it sounds like they forgot everything. Maybe they knew once but then they forgot right away?

[dawnblushed]

That's possible, but you'd think something that important would be written down somewhere...

[reconnective]

Do they seem like the most organized group to you...? What if they lost the paper it was written on?

[dawnblushed]

I hope that's not what happened, because that would make me kind of worried about how all of this is going to go.

[reconnective]

[he tilts his head.]

You're not worried now? [no judgment, just curious.]

[dawnblushed]

I guess "more worried" would be a better way to describe it.

...it feels like we ought to be doing something, now. Knowing our worlds are in trouble makes me feel so restless it's almost impossible to sit still! But... there doesn't seem to be anything we can do yet.

[reconnective]

Yeah...I tried asking Fox what we could be doing and they just avoided answering that part. Or they didn't really know, but I'm not sure what's worse. [mmm...] All we can do now is get to know each other better so we can all work together. They made that much clear.

[dawnblushed]

...most of the people I've met so far seem more or less agreeable, so I don't think it should be too hard to work together with everyone.

[Probably.]

[reconnective]

Same. Have you talked to a lot of people since we got here?

[dawnblushed]

I've tried to, but there are so many of us that I don't think I've managed to catch up with everyone just yet.

[reconnective]

Yeah...every time I turn around it's like someone else appears. But the data on the PHS thing helps a lot. I just don't wanna forget anybody while we're planning what to do next.
