OH NOES D: [complete]

Character(s): Kinoko, Dipp, ... people
Content: OH NOES TEH NOBODIES D:
Setting: Muspelheim
Time: Week3...? Late evening
Warnings: OH NOES.


Kinoko was like any other cousin, a naturally small person. She had found upon entering Paixao that she was much larger than she usually was. She was even taller than most of the small 'Earth things' which she had so easily rolled up on her katamari before. Her katamari itself was fairly large, the size of a softball. She had been wandering near where she'd entered, unsure of exactly what to do. She had discovered the 'journals' worked like a network of communications, but nothing had helped.

Kinoko wanted to go home and see her cousins. Miso was here, but Miso was not here here. It was getting later than usual and Kinoko wondered if there was a place for her to go sit down. Instead she paced back and forth, looking at the people and the gate. Was it rude to go ask for directions?

...oh dear.

Kinoko had not been in Paixao for very long, but she felt like this was not supposed to be happening. People were making those very loud noises that they made when you rolled them up with the katamari. They were waving their hands and screaming and there were white things all over. Oh dear oh dear. This did not look good, because Kinoko did not see any katamaris. This was not rolling up the many things on Earth.

"...Oh no. Oh oh oh no no no no no," Kinoko said as people tried to hit the white things and rather ended up failing. This was not good. She wrapped a hand around the katamari in her pocket, but it was not nearly big enough to roll up all of the white things. It was barely big enough to roll up king sized candies, much less white things big as people. "no no no no no."

Being not the smartest, but also not the stupidest, cousin Kinoko thought it might be best to hide. Though, there wasn't much places to hide. She squeaked and look for a place to hide. Finally she found a doorway of a building and crouched, peeking out to watch the ...damage. There wasn't any real word for it, and she hoped that the white things would stay over there and not come over to her doorstep.

Dipp hadn't even noticed that he'd been dancing into a place that totally wasn't where he was intending to go. He heard screaming, somehow, over Agenda Suicide by the human band, The Faint. He double-taked on his surroundings for a moment, before dodging out of the way of some... weird white creature. He instinctively reached for his Katamari, which should've been smaller than what it was, and threw it forwards. He was immediately surprised when seeing it was the size of a basketball and rammed the creature--a Creeper, but he didn't know that--into the wall. It disapeared, and his Katamari rolled back to him.

"... what the hell." He stated, before spinning and fumbling back to the entrance. "What's going on?" though the question went unanswered, as he found a black journal covered in the light-green glow-in-the-dark strips across it. No name, no questions, nothing. Just a journal thrown at him. He caught it, and stared for a moment. This wasn't a Katamari, what use would it be? Scowling, the cousin spun around. He'd already noticed he'd changed, but wasn't going to make a deal out of it when there was chaos going on.

The slate haired young man had to dodge a few more Nobodies, pressing against a wall and scowling at them. "The hell is going on!" he yelled, narrowing pristine and nearly white colored blue eyes. This just wasn't right. People screamed like this when there was a Katamari involved, but all he saw were strange, white creatures. They certainly weren't cousins...

His ranting could probably be heard for quite some distance away.

What was that? That sounded strangely familiar... Dipp turned somewhat, slipping a headphone's cushioned side off one of his ears so he could hear a bit clearer. "Ohnoohnoohnoohnoohno~~~~~" His brows furrowed, and he continued to follow where the worried voice was coming from. It took him a moment--especially with a spontaneous Nobody trying to aquaint itself with his face but instead getting to meet his Katamari, flailing attached to it--but he found the little girl running away from another one of the white creatures.

"Hey!" he called out, puffing up a little. Very well, if they were going to be chasing other people as well, then he'd... roll them up! Although bouncing seemed more effective with the size of his Katamari at the time, Dipp didn't really care. He put his headphone back over his ear and made his way after the girl and her stalker. At this point, he pulled his arm back--like one would throwing a discus--and threw his Katamari at the back of the white creature. "Leave her be!" his protective side was showing again. He'd have to fix that once these white things were gone.

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-26 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that was delightful. Dipp was lucky he knew how to dance when another of the strange, smaller one's dove at him. He bent backwards Matrix-style! away from it, icy eyes wide as his Katamari rolled towards him with a new attachment. It flailed at him, and Dipp looked apprehensively at it before he snagged it by an uninfested part.

"Oh no?" he questioned, looking to the girl. However, it didn't take him long. He soon enough saw all the Nobodies, and grit his teeth together stressfully. Man, why'd he have to help this kid? He could've ducked into a decent hiding spot, but nooo... he had the instinct to help her, for some reason. Frowning, he looked to her, before moving to snag her around the middle. She was so tiny! He knew he was smaller than her once, but... he was bigger now. "Hang on," he muttered, looked around, and made a run for it through the white creatures.

He didn't want to run too long, it might scare the girl. So instead, he ran until he found an open shop. Weird how it wasn't closed yet in the chaos. With that in mind, Dipp swerved off into it and set Kinoko down once he was inside, slamming the door shut and leaning against it heavily.

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-26 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Why hadn't he noticed it before? An icy eye went down to the girl again, and he saw the puff of dust that she kicked up from the shuffling. The eyes widened, and he turned to fully face her while his back rested completely on the door to keep it shut, just in case. Dipp was moderately alarmed that she called him Di-ani and kicked up the dust, but one couldn't blame him. He turned and looked for something to baracade the door, finding at table that was acceptable and sliding it there.

Dipp then rested his Katamari--Nobodies still attached, flailing like the people or animals usually would--on the table and stuck it there for the most part. "Ki..." he began, looking back to the girl with the floppy hat, kneeling down to her level. "Ki... Kimouto?" he gave her a confused look, lifting up a pale hand to push the hat up a little from her face. "It is you, isn't it?"

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-26 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Kimouto!" Dipp said excitedly after she said she was indeed Kinoko, face brightening somewhat before his arms had wrapped themselves around her and he was fully to his feet again. "I should've realized it was you!" he swung her around once, twice, before setting her down on her rainboots again. "I'm sorry, Kimouto. You just got so much bigger and cuter, I couldn't tell it was you right away."

He lifted up his hand and ruffled her hat on top of her head with a happy grin stretching across his face, taking the other hand and pushing down his headphones so that they fell about his throat. They still played music, techno pulsating against his throat now rather than his ears. "Are you all right, Kimouto?" he asked with concern, not normally shown around any of the other cousins.

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-26 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, she giggled! Dipp grinned a bit more and tilted his head, however, when Kinoko had said he was cooler looking. Conceitedness in his rights, the cousin examined himself now. He hadn't thought of it beforehand, and now he was getting a decent chance since they were safe for the moment. "I guess I did," he started, looking cocky like he usually did. "But I'm happy to see you too, Kimouto. And to know you're safe, even in the crazy."

Kinoko was his favorite cousin alongside Peso, although Miso was up there. No matter how odd the soup girl was. "Yeah, I know." He said lightly to the but at the end, turning his head to look back at the flailing white creatures that were attached to his Katamari. "I've never seen anything like them before." He frowned, brows furrowing together for a moment.

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-26 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't think this is Earth," Dipp said idly, watching the white things move about on the Katamari. He was lucky he stuck it to the table... Frowning a little still, he reached a hand out towards it carefully. One of them flailed at him and ended up hitting his hand, and the cousin immediately drew his hand back in a snap.

He sneered a little, before looking over towards Kinoko. "Let's just stay here, Kimouto. I don't think they'd be able to get in... it's too dangerous out there..." he rubbed a little at his assaulted hand, which was turning red already. "I'd rather you not get hurt anyways."

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-26 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm fine, just stings..." Dipp muttered, examining his hand a moment. He was sure that he had something on him, somewhere... he rolled up his sleeves and eyed the wristbands that were around them, accompanied by multiple colored glow-in-the-dark rubber bracelets. Pulling down one of the wristbands, he slipped it between his thumb and index finger, so that it covered the reddening mark.

He observed as she seated on the floor, against what he suspected was the counter--where were the store owners? Dipp didn't care, just so long as he and Kinoko could hide out--before joining her against it. "Miso is here?" he questioned, tilting his head before pulling his own journal out of his jacket, since he'd stuffed it between the fabric and his bare skin. It was already a little glowy, as were the stars on his jacket and his shoelaces, but he didn't seem to notice. "So... how does this work, Kimouto?"

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-26 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh?" Dipp opened up his journal in the same manner as hers, leaning his shoulder against her own so he could see hers as well. He could agree cousins were good at hiding, he often hid quite well himself despite the stars and the general ... disco ball-ness. He just didn't hide crazily like the rest of the cousins.

The cousin was glad, though, that with just him there that little Kinoko was less as flustered as she usually acted. The only other company were the journals and flaily white things that seemed to resent the Katamari they were attached to. "So this was how you found Miso, Kimouto?" It seemed like a good question. And it also seemed like Kinoko caught on quickly to the functions of the journals. For that he was proud, most of his cousins were... a little slow.

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-27 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh, so Miso was here too? That meant there was the possibility of other cousins, the Prince, and even the King there. At the thought of the King, Dipp's brow furrowed and he looked a little discontent. He always had something against the King, and most of the cousins knew it quite well. He didn't hide his opinion of the King of all Cosmos, not at all.

However, Kinoko's words caught his attention and his face relaxed somewhat. He looked over at her with icy eyes and smiled, one of his smiles that left out any cockyness or conceitedness. "Don't worry, Kimouto." He said lightly, lifting up his arm closest to her and putting it about her shoulders. "Di-ani will make sure you stay safe. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."

Things had gotten very bad, very fast. Sora didn't know what the heck those things were - they weren't Heartless, that was for sure, but they weren't like anything he'd seen before. Riku had said they were called "Nobodies," but when Sora had asked how he knew about them, he'd gotten quiet and evasive again. Sora couldn't stay annoyed for long, though, because there were much more pressing matters at hand - namely, defeating the Nobodies and saving those who couldn't save themselves.

They had been sweeping the northwest part of the city for most of the day, ensuring those people they found were safe and destroying any Nobodies they could. Then Sora found out that Kairi was here, of all people, and even though he wondered how she got off the Islands his immediate thought was to find her, find her and protect her and get her out of this stupid city as soon as possible.

The only problem was, there were so many other people who also needed protecting.

Pausing to catch his breath, Sora wiped a bead of sweat from his temple with his forearm and scanned the area. He spotted a half-dozen of the tiny Nobodies twining and slithering towards a shop, a clear determination in their sinuous steps. Sora had learned by now that was a definite sign there were people - victims - inside. "Hey Riku, over there!" he called to his friend, pointing at the Nobodies as he broke into a run. With two broad sweeps of his keyblade, Sora killed the two or three Nobodies directly in his path and continued to the door of the shop. He tried opening it, but it seemed to be blocked. Anxiously, Sora banged on the door with his fist. "Hey, anybody in there? Hello? We're here to help you!"

He just hoped the people inside were in good enough condition to answer.

[identity profile] damangedone.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
The silver haired teen hadn't wanted to explain anything around the others, in all truth. And they had yet to have a good moment for him to stop and tell him what the Nobodies were. Frowning, Riku continued to follow Sora in silence unless he was ushered in one direction or the other, or assuring people they'd be safe if they stayed indoors and away from the white creatures, as he told them they were. The less people that knew, the less problems they were to have.

"There's just so many people," Riku murmured somewhat to himself, rushing after Sora--hunched somewhat for an added speed--and holding his Road to the Dawn so that its end pointed back behind him for easy running. He hadn't stopped to catch his breath, for some reason always being good with running and not getting short on breath... but one had to wonder now. He looked tired, like he hadn't slept at all. In which, he hadn't. Riku had laid quietly there the entire night in the new Actua Are room he had gotten for everyone. He'd heard Sora, faintly, and that was when the Nobodies had attacked.

Sora yelled to him now to pull him from his thoughts and an inner conversation with Ansem, who was recalling the Nobodies as well. The door was blocked from the inside? Frowning, he ran over to the door and eyed it, before stepping back. "We'll do this the easy way," he extended a hand out, black energy swarming around before he opened a portal. "Come on. If anyone's in there, I doubt they'll open the door..." with that said, he stepped through the portal, leaving it open for Sora as he opened another inside the shop. He glanced around, causing his Keyblade to disapear in a swirl of black energy. "Is everyone all right in here?" he didn't see them at the counter, but knew there was someone in there.

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
The elder cousin kept his arm about Kinoko protectively, even as she said she was worried for him. "It'll be all right, Kimouto. I'll make sure we're both safe." Dipp gave her hat a soft ruffle before the noise errupted and she reached for the hat. He cussed to himself that he left the Katamari on the table, out of his reach, and wondered how much damage the journal could do if he pelt it at someone's face. However, someone was at the door, and he heard a faint voice outside the chaos. Help? He wasn't sure.

Then another person came, with a weird 'vorping' and swirling sound. Frowning, Dipp turned his head to look at the top of the counter, bothered that he couldn't see over the top of it. "Stay, Kimouto," he muttered quietly to her, barely a whisper, before his slate blue hair appeared over the counter, followed by icy blue eyes. He kept his arm about Kinoko in the process, but was careful not to bring her up with him. "We're fine," he said, lightly, to gain the silver haired Keyblade wielder's attention.

[identity profile] lichtes-krieger.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Sora balked when he saw the dark portal that Riku opened; he'd learned long ago not to trust the powers of darkness. However, his desire to stay close to Riku won out over his apprehension, and he followed Riku into the store.

He entered just in time to hear Dipp claim they were fine. Raising an eyebrow skeptically, Sora looked around at the mess caused by people leaving in a panic, as well as at the barricade Dipp had made for the door. And what was...? Curious as ever, Sora walked over to where Dipp's katamari lay. ...The heck? The Nobodies were... stuck to it! And they didn't look like they were getting free anytime soon, either. His original intent completely forgotten, Sora turned towards Riku with an amused grin on his face. "Check this out, Riku! They're totally stuck! It's crazy!"

[identity profile] damangedone.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Once Sora stepped through, Riku closed the portals idly before glancing over towards Dipp. He looked apprehensive at first, but the cousin wasn't reacting other than that. Riku couldn't blame him. However, his attention was sent after Sora to the Katamari. This is when he stared with the most befuddled face.

"... what the?" he moved over towards the table that he now found was what kept the door from opening, lodged up against the doorknob and kept partially on the door by the odd ball. "What is this thing?" he was tempted to poke it, but the Nobodies were a problem. Summoning his Keyblade again, he held it like he did before, bottom up, before bringing it up and slaying the flailing creatures before he leaned to inspect the odd ball. It had lit up when he hit the Nobodies, and was presently flashing epileptic colors. "Is this one of yours?"

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Dipp observed the two a moment, sliding back down to fully sit now that they were completely visible to him. One hand was still on his journal, just in case. He really didn't need one, since Kinoko had hers and already knew how to work it. If he threw it at one of them, he was sure he'd be able to get Kinoko out of there.

"Yeah, that's my Katama--" he was about to back Kinoko up, when she dove into his jacket. He was a little surprised by this motion, and nearly jumped, but knew he might scare Kinoko if he did that. So he kept calm, despite the fact his cousin was inside his starry jacket with bare skin. He put both arms around her now, shifting to pull her to stand with him, though allowing her to stay in the jacket. "It's a Katamari..." he observed as Riku destroyed the flailies easily, frowning. He gave off the sense that he thought he was pretty weak in this fight.

[identity profile] lichtes-krieger.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Katamari...?" Sora hadn't heard of anything like that before. How the heck did it work? Was it just really sticky? Impulsive being that he was, Sora poked the katamari with his finger. Didn't feel too sticky... It rocked a little from the impact but otherwise just kept flashing. It kinda reminded Sora of a crazy blitzball. Wakka would probably get a kick out of it.

Sora was about to turn and share his thoughts with Riku when the door shuddered and heaved under an impact, making him jump. "...Hey Riku, can those Nobody things teleport like yo- like Heartless can?" he asked, naturally falling into a defensive stance as he eyed the door.

[identity profile] damangedone.livejournal.com 2006-09-29 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Riku listened to Kinoko and Dipp, wondering what the little girl said and why she hid so quickly in the other's jacket that was still unzipped. Dipp didn't seem to mind, however, so the silver haired one didn't say anything. "Never heard of something like this," he tapped it a little to see if it was sticky as well, before the door shuddered. It knocked the ball off the door, but did not knock it off the table.

Stepping back, though not far, Riku kept his eyes on the door. This was when he heard Sora's question, and knew he was going to say 'like you' instead of the Heartless. He considered the question, rubbing the back of his head. "Only when commanded to, I think... The memories are kinda fuzzy still." He held his fingers tightly wrapped around his Keyblade's hilt, however, just in case.

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-09-30 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Dipp moved one of his hands to the top of Kinoko's head to comfort her, so she kenw that he would keep her safe if the two meant harm. But he figured they didn't, so they'd be fine... Hopefully. He tilted his head a little, however, when they discussed the ... Nobodies? Was that what they were called.

"Excuse me," he said lightly, calmly in a way. Except, still a little irrate. "Those are... Nobodies? What are they, exactly?" He was one of the smart one's, really. He tilted his body away from the door, putting himself between it and Kinoko, just in case something happened. She was between him and the counter, so hopefully... that would keep her all right.

[identity profile] lichtes-krieger.livejournal.com 2006-09-30 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Good question. All I know is that they aren't Heartless," Sora replied, flashing his characteristic grin towards Dipp even as he held his keyblade at the ready. Maybe Riku would be able (or willing) to explain more later, but right now the details weren't that important. What mattered was how to kill them, preferably without getting killed yourself.

The door shuddered and heaved again as the Nobodies strained to get in, and Sora tightened his grip on the keyblade. Suddenly, he was struck with an idea. A rather good idea (if he may say so), and it actually surprised him a little bit. "Riku, how about you do your teleporty-portal-thingie and we attack them out there? Then those two - " he inclined his head towards the cousins " - won't get caught in the crossfire. And those Nobody things won't expect it, either." He beamed, proud of himself for coming up with something so clever.

((Dudes, we totally should get a Nobody NPC. If it's all right with y'all, of course. ;3))

[identity profile] damangedone.livejournal.com 2006-10-01 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Riku listened to the two of them speak for a moment, still gripping his own Keyblade. He flipped it around, however, to hold it like Sora was his own. It was easier to wield, much faster too, in such a situation. "Nobodies are... they're the opposites of Heartless. They don't have hearts, they're what's left when the Heartless is created." He knew it was weird saying the Nobodies didn't have hearts, because that's what the Heartless were called, but the Heartless were the hearts, just ... corrupted. He shook his head a little and shrugged.

"We could try that, if you two wouldn't care. We have some friends we left at the hotel, and you would be safe with them, I think." Riku looked over at Dipp and Kinoko, ignoring the door at the moment. Though, he knew the Nobodies were out there. They would be out of your way, boy. Without them here, you could very easily get through the Nobodise and to the Organization. The teen listened to Ansem idly, and supposed he was right. His memories of the Organization were few to none, but he was getting them back.

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nobodies?" Dipp gave Riku an odd look at the name, before deciding that the white haired teen knew what he was talking about. The elder cousin gave Kinoko's hat a little ruffle with a little smile. "We'll go with them, I think that they know what they're talking about." He gave a nod to the two Keyblade wielders, before looking down at the girl resembling a mushroom.

"Come on, Kimouto." He smiled still down at her, trying to show that she could be calm or brave. It seemed he also knew that Kinoko didn't want o go alone, and wanted to be braver, and even didn't want to be a problem. He knew his cousin well enough.

[identity profile] lichtes-krieger.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
All right, then. Sora nodded to himself as he processed what was going to happen next and shrugged his shoulders - he was getting too tense. It wasn't like fighting Heartless at all; there was something different about how these Nobodies acted that weirded Sora out. Maybe it was how they moved, as if they were ghosts or whisps of smoke. Nothing should be able to move like that.

The makeshift barricade shuddered under another blow from the Nobodies outside, causing the corner of Sora's mouth to twitch. "I'm ready when you are, Riku," he said, glancing up at his friend.

[identity profile] damangedone.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Okay. I'll try to get you guys directly in the room," Riku gave a slight nod, before turning turquoise eyes to the side. Lifting up a hand, he tilting his head a little and stared at the space ahead of it. Another 'fworp' and swirling blackness appeared before him. He turned to look towards the cousins, smiling the slightest. "Kyo's in charge there. Tell him Riku and Sora sent you there to stay safe, they'll keep an eye on you."

With that out of the way, he turned his back to the portal and looked towards the door. "Once they go through I'll close it, and we can go."

[Nyah, forgot to say. An NPC is so fine with me :x]

[identity profile] ravinnrollin.livejournal.com 2006-10-04 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Dipp blinked when he noticed Kinoko step away, though could udnerstand why. The fworp was, ah... interesting, with a lack of better words on his half. He moved his hand towards the hand gripping hold of his jacket. "You can do it, Kimouto. I know you can," he said this lightly and solely to her while the teens were turned away, giving her one of his cocky and natural grins.

When she took a step, he followed, to assure her that he was indeed coming. Of course, he had Riku hand him his Katamari first so he wouldn't lose that. He couldn't lose that, it wouldn't be any good. "Thanks," was said, before he looked towards the swirling portal.

[identity profile] lichtes-krieger.livejournal.com 2006-10-05 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Sora grinned as Kinoko and Dipp stepped towards the portal. It was good to know that they'd be safe, at least for a little while. He didn't know Kyo too well, but he figured that, between the cat and Dipp, the others would be okay. "Hope to see you guys again soon!" he said.

Now that the current crisis was averted, Sora's mind immediately turned to more pressing matters: Kairi. He and Riku needed to find her, and the sooner the better. Come to think of it... "Hey, I know! Do one of those portaly things so we find Kairi!" Sora said, snapping his fingers as the idea struck him. Boy, though it was kinda creepy at first, Riku's dark powers were starting to come in handy. "She said she was by Niflheim - could you make it that far?"

Not only would it get them to Kairi faster, but it would give Sora a break from fighting the Nobodies. He didn't want to admit it, but he was getting a little worn out - they just kept coming! Of course, if he knew that using the dark powers wore Riku out, Sora never would have asked.

[identity profile] damangedone.livejournal.com 2006-10-05 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Riku kept his face to the door after giving Dipp his Katamari, brow furrowing lightly as he considered their options. He was sure that Kyo and Dipp could handle them. His attention was sent to Sora, however, when he suggested another portal. Riku would never tell Sora that they actually exhausted his energy... he knew that if he either accepted Ansem again--which he would never do, he vowed--or took on Ansem's form that it wouldn't be so bad. But... he didn't want that.

"I suppose." He rummaged the pocket of his pants to pull his journal out, having left his Organization coat back at the hotel to not be mistaken for a member, and pulled up the map with a few expertised clicks. "Niflheim is clear across from here, but I've done farther gaps before. Besides, theirs is going all the way to Vanaheim..." He waited until he knew that the cousins were at least making their way to the portal before he opened another one. This wasn't smart, as it taxed him far more than it should. He didn't let on, however. Having two portals up and so far distanced wasn't wise on his half.

"This should be nearby there. We can run the gap between us, since I don't know exactly where she is..." he held his Keyblade still, examining the portal after it fworped up. "We'll see you two again, all right?" he glanced over his shoulder, before he then looked to Sora. "Let's go."
