► third sketch [Video]

Mm, I think that will do.

[The feed clicks on abruptly with a soft "toge!" People around Violet town will see an interesting sight. A bunch of locals, pokemon and one Nobody are gathered around one part of town, with boxes of decorations, lights, streamers, banners, and occasional lanterns and several other things for the festival. Naminé herself has an armful of posters in her arms, and she watches some of the locals stretch out the flag streamers they had worked on all morning, preparing to hoist them up. Everything seems to have a fall-theme to it, with warm oranges, bright yellows and reds.

Sky, Naminé's Pidgey, has an end of the flag streamer in one claw, and she flies off to one end, raising it to quite a height as she passes the feed. It might be a little early, but with so many things to be done, it's better if things got started.]

[ooc: action to anyone in Violet. They could use the help!]

[Oh my god, way to make her flail. She's trying to. Tug it out of Puddles' mouth. Hopelessly.]

W-wait, don't--

[this paper is much tastier than the paper Trainer tried to feed him last week. Puddles tilts his head at Naminé curiously, then bends down to nuzzle affectionately at her face. that's what she wanted when she tugged on the streamer, right?]

[Why do you do this, you ridiculous pokemon. She pets its head, still confused, but still trying to get the streamer free. That's also several hours of work going to waste.]

Um, please? I can give you some berries if you let it go!

[because he is Puddles, and munching on grass and valuables is what he does best! though he suddenly starts and the streamer flops out of his mouth when all of the sudden--]

PUDDLES! Let that go!

[--whoops, Trainer found him. Puddles used Escape! he gives Naminé another nuzzle and takes off galloping away.]

[And she's left staring at Puddles, with a half chewed streamer in her hands.]

[and Sora's running toward her, bending over to catch his breath.]

Naminé! Ugh, sorry about that... He's been running wild all day.

... he eats paper?

He'll eat anything if you let him!

-- Here, lemme help you with something?

Have you tried feeding him the berries? I know they love those.

Mm, okay. Can you help put these up?

[Sh ehands him the posters that is advertising the festival, the Struggle tournament, and the pokemon tournament. ONE MINUTE AND THIRTY SECONDS, SORA. GO.]

[WHAT BUT CAN'T EVEN GLIDE-- HE NEVER EVEN GOT SUPER GLIDE FROM CHERNABOG. poster duty was literally the only thing stopping me from having a 100% journal, man.]

Got it!

[Jiminy is evil like that.]

... I have your sketch done, by the way.

[s-skids to a stop, turning on his heel and running right back.]

You do?

Mm. Do you want it now?

Sure!

[She walks over to her bag, gently tucking the sleeping baby Eevee in its blanket to the side. After some rummaging, she pulls out a sketchbook she bought from the pokemart, flipping through it and tearing out a page.

After hesitating a little, she handed it (http://imgur.com/AKQo5.png) to him. She's been working on this particular one very carefully.]

I--

[he holds the paper so gently in his hands, like he's afraid touching it too much would somehow ruin it. Naminé probably doesn't need her powers to sense how Sora's heart is squeezing when he looks at the drawing, and how much he misses Kairi.]

Naminé, this is...

[he can't even find the words for a few minutes.]

... It's like seeing a memory right on paper. I remember this... How'd you know?

[Naminé reckons she should at least tell Sora who she really is. She goes quiet before clasping her hands together, looking down.]

... I'm not sure if Roxas explained it yet, but...

Remember when you stabbed your heart to save Kairi?

[all too well, considering that's the last thing he remembers before arriving here. Sora nods, wondering where Naminé's going with this-- and how she knows.]

What about it?

You became a Heartless, right?

I... guess so.

[he actually has no idea; he never made it to Heartless stage.]

When a person loses their heart, not only do they become a Heartless, what's left of them becomes a Nobody, an empty shell.

Technically, when you stabbed your heart, Kairi's heart was in it. But she didn't had any Darkness in her heart, that's why she didn't became a Heartless. But she still had a Nobody.

[Sora had been told what a Nobody is, and how Roxas was his Nobody-- what was left of him when his heart was taken by darkness-- but...]

What? But... I don't understand.

[NONE OF US EITHER, SORA, BUT THAT'S HOW OUR CANON GOES.]

Which part?

[didn't Nomura and Ansem the Wise say that Naminé is technically Sora's flesh and soul-- have fun trying to explain to Sora how his body turned into a girl.]

I just... I just wanted Kairi to be okay. That's all.

[because he can't even think of how to ask his questions right now.]

And she is, Sora. Don't worry.
