wide eyed, panic on the getaway [closed to greens]

Who: Another new Greensworn. Aka newbiesworn.
What: oh god why is this happening this isn't cool guys!
Where: Emerald Sanctum
When: Today (July 8th).
Warnings UMMMM. Well if Sora shows up except getting cavities?

"No, wait!" Kairi shouts after the dragons, not ready to be dumped off in her new home. "You don't understand, I have to get back! I have to make sure they're okay--!" All her hollering doesn't seem to matter and she finds herself in the dark cave. It isn't as great of a shock as the green flames had been not too long ago, but she still draws herself up tight, looking around herself with rising panic.

This... this wasn't good at all! She'd be more willing to help these people if she knew about Sora and Riku and the King and... She has to go back!

But...

That didn't seem to be much of an option by the look of her surroundings.

"Hello?" she calls. She chews at her lip. Well... Standing around forever doesn't help her, but she doesn't particularly want to get near the dragons. Except they seem to be sleeping, so she tiptoes past them and towards the underbrush...

Speaking of her friends, one of them can certainly be found if she looks around the Emerald Sanctum. Even more, he seems to look like he's completely okay and unworried about anything going on around him.

On the other hand, that could be because he's simply sleeping on what appears to be a comfy patch of moss. And whatever Kairi shouting she did, it seems like he slept right through it.

Yep. It's definitely Sora.

Kairi almost thinks it isn't him. After all, shouldn't there be more to worry about? How could he be sleeping at a time like this, when Kairi's nerves are running high and she's been worried for him--

Lazy bum.

She stands over him, weight on one foot, hands on her hips. Waits a moment like she's giving him a chance to redeem himself and magically wake up.

Who is she kidding.

"So-ra," she says, loudly. She swears she's had too much practice at waking him up.

Yes, but she's a true master at it. The ominous shadow over him, the inexplicable feeling of doom- and oh yeah, the name. Kairi's got the volume and tone to cut through any one of his regular dreams.

And so, he's stirs awake, begrudgingly. It takes a moment, as usual, until his eyes start to open up to see the redhead standing over him and-

Whoa crap sitting up straight VERY FAST to get a look at her.

"Whoa- Kairi?!"

She offers him a small smile. Her arms move to cross over her chest.

"I was worried, Sora. You could have waited for me by the cave." Someone isn't aware of the whole time-distortion thing yet. She assumes he got here not long before she did. "Where's Riku and the others?" Surely if Sora's here, Riku can't be too far... Not after all of his efforts to find the older boy again.

Sora, still reeling the fact he got woken up and that Kairi is here, is very confused at this scolding. "Huh? What? Waited for you at what cave? What are you talking about, Kairi? Did you just get here?"

Or did he accidentally stand her up for an unknown amount of time at a cave.....really in his tired mind, he's not sure which one is more plausible.

Now it's Kairi's turn to look confused.

"What do you mean? Of course I just got here... Didn't you?" She just saw Sora before she came here.

He scratches the back of his head, the confusion not helping. Even before he came here, he hadn't seen Kairi in weeks. Not since he left the islands to complete the Mastery Exam. It shouldn't be that weird that he wasn't in the exact space than her, right?

"No...I've been here for a few weeks now."

She starts to withdraw just a little. "But how is that possible? I just saw you, Sora! What about... what about Xemnas, and..." And, well, everything.

He was about to argue that no, the last time he saw her was awhile ago on the Islands- but that name catches more attention. Since hey after all, turns out that guy is not as dead as Sora would like.

"- Xemnas?! What do you mean- what was happening before you came here? Is everyone alright?"

Sora, you are freaking your friend out. A lot. She hesitates, still so unsure of why he doesn't seem to know any of this.

"We were at the top of the castle. Naminé opened us a portal to go home through. Don't you remember?"

He's sorry you're being really confusing and concerning! Plus you know, stupid Xehanort clones just never seem to die gosh.

"On top of the castle and Naminé opened a por-" Wait, he does remember that. Except, that makes no sense! That already happened awhile ago! "You mean at the Organization's base? Sure I remember that, but it was months ago!"

Just what was going on.

She falls back a step, feeling faint. "M-Months...? Sora, what's going on?" she voices his own question. He's got to know, right? He's dealt with all his crazy travels... surely he's got some explanation for this.

Eventually she'll just stop caring because it's Sora. He's here with her and they're finally together again.

He frowns. "I don't know." His arms cross, as they usually do when he tries to think things through. "Maybe it's some weird time difference between the worlds? I've seen that happen before."

It could be like the different worlds where he saw Mickey at different points in time. Then again, this wasn't a Sleeping World and it's not like he saw a door like the one Merlin made. Whose he to say it's the same?

"But I know I remember defeating Xemnas, and then all of us went home." Sure, Riku and Sora were a bit delayed, but he doesn't see the point in mentioning that right now when she's worried enough. "That was awhile ago."

Probably a good thing he didn't mention it, yeah. She finally begins to relax. "Thank goodness... I'm glad. Everything was so chaotic for a moment, and then I was here." Well, first she was with some weird dragons that had this orb thing, but that's besides the point.

She smiles. "What were you up to, before you came here?" Before the demons attacked. "I hope you were finally getting some well-deserved rest."

He notices her relaxing. If she was really from that moment, he can hardly blame her for being freaked out. Did that mean this Legion was trying to invade the World That Never Was too? With all those Heartless and Nobodies there....that would probably be a very bad thing.

Oh well, that's why they're here right? To stop that from happening. So no point worrying about that.

He gives a smile at Kairi. "Well, things were pretty peaceful for a couple months at the Islands! Then we got a letter from the King asking for help, and Riku and I had to go take this Mark of Mastery Exam." Which ended in...a lot of bad news. "Riku did really great! You should've seen him!"

"After that, I was on my way to somewhere to check on someone, but I ended up here!"

She distinctly picks up on how he only mentioned how Riku did. Does he really think she'd let that go unnoticed?

"It's good that Riku did great!" Pause. Significant look. "How did you do?"

IT WAS WORTH A SHOT OKAY. Maybe one day people will actually fall for it. One day!

Though let's face it that day with his friends is probably never.

But he knows he's been caught at the omission. He rubs his neck a little bit and seems a bit awkward, though he tries to play it up like it's no big deal. "Heh...I didn't pass." To say the least. "But that's okay, I'm sure they'll let me retake it someday."

No, Sora.

It's never going to work.

And you're a bad liar, anyway. If you wanted to lie, you should have been a blacksworn.

She crouches down in front of him and offers him her most radiant smile. "You'll pass with flying colors next time, Sora! I know you will."

But he would have murdered half of Blacksworn within the first week.

He'll look down at her smile, being unable to resist smiling back at her. Sure, there's a lot more to the story than that, but...he can tell her later. She did just get here. "Thanks Kairi. I definitely will."

He wasn't going to give up on becoming a Master just yet.

"But first we gotta help out with these guys! This might sound weird but...do you still have your keyblade?"

If he believes, he can do anything.

Including helping these people out here.

She tilts her head, biting the inside of her cheek. "I don't know how to check." She just barely had Riku offer it to her. She doesn't exactly understand keyblade mechanics... What did Sora do? Will it into existence?

"You...don't?"

He looks momentarily confused at that before it passes. That's right, she's...incredibly new at the keyblade. He's had it long enough that he doesn't even think about how to use it.

"Oh, right. Here, hold out your hand like this." He holds out his hand, showing. "And just sort of...will it to come with your heart?"

She does as he shows. It sounds relatively easy, right? And she has a strong connection with her heart, so when she shuts her eyes and thinks of all that light, she's sure that she has it!

Even if Kairi "kept" the keyblade at the castle, she doesn't have it now. Whatever had been done to her had nothing to do with the keyblade.

She feels something happen when she channels her will, but when there's no added weight in her hand, she opens her eyes with a frown and--

"Sora!"

And panics.

He's a sheep.

Did she...? But how?!

Good question Kairi! It's safe to say, Sora was not expecting that to happen. And so he doesn't even have a chance to dodge. Just one startled noise, a "poof!" and suddenly there's a panicked black sheep bleating in surprise as it stumbles back.

Oh, but he's so cute--

No, Kairi, focus!

"What... Sora, I'm so sorry! I don't know what I did!" She holds her hands out near him, but she's afraid to touch him, not because he's so fluffy, but because she doesn't want to accidentally do anything else to him! "M-Maybe I tried it wrong?" She doesn't want to try it again, either. "Oh. I'm not sure how to fix this."

Oh c'mon Kairi you hugged him when he was a Heartless and that seemed to work! And now he's fluffy instead of whatever darkness zombies feel like. Probably gross.

Sora would love to help you, but every word that comes out just seems to come out in startled sheep bleats. But he's not sure what to make of this! He's never heard of keyblade wielders turning people into sheep, and this doesn't feel like turning into a lion as a druid at all. In fact, he's probably trying to see if he can will himself back into being human like he could with the lion and...yeah. It's not working.

He lets out a whiney bleat and looks over at Kairi. This is not good.
