Where are we, anyway?

[halfdarkened]

Something hit me. Sure, we're in Castle Oblivion. But what floor? The basement floors can look the same as the ones upstairs.

Are we heading to the exit or to someone who's waiting for us?

Grow up. Seriously, what's your problem?

[ugotafriendinme.livejournal.com]

I... Think you mistaken me for somebody else.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...Who is this. Really.

[ugotafriendinme.livejournal.com]

This is Sheriff Pride.

And I'm pretty sure I ain't this Sora character.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Heh. Okay, Pride. I believe you. So you got one of these cowboy toys too?

[ugotafriendinme.livejournal.com]

You know, it’s funny that you mentioned that. See I use to be on this TV show called
“Woody’s Round Up” and I was the star. And they made a toy based off me.

It looks just like me y’know, after all it was pretty popular. So, you probably have seen one of those dolls somewhere.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

So that picture there is of your face? ...Why does your face look like plastic?

[ugotafriendinme.livejournal.com]

Hey, what's wrong with my face?

I'm sure it's just the lighting here. It's pretty bright in this room.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

C'mon, man, just admit you decided to use a toy for the picture. That woodgrain background isn't fooling anyone.

[ugotafriendinme.livejournal.com]

Oh yea that... I have one of those dolls.

I just, thought the picture was nice looking so I put it up.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...So is that or isn't that a picture of you?

[ugotafriendinme.livejournal.com]

Don't be ridiculous why would that be a picture of me? Have you ever seen a toy that talked?!

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

So that's not a picture of you.

Despite you trying to say the lighting in the room was making your face look like plastic.

And I don't know, you tell me.

You mean the real picture of me didn't show up?

Dang stupid technology...

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Technology can be pretty funny.

[Below this is Private, Hard, and Sora's looking over Riku's shoulder]

But you've just said you used a picture of a toy, too. It's pretty obvious you're trying to cover it up.

So, what are you exactly? A little robot? Or is it magic? Or are you just alive?

[Private]

[ugotafriendinme.livejournal.com]

...Alright yea... I'm a toy.

And no, I'm just alive, all toys are. It's just code that we stick to not revealing ourselves in front of humans. Since y'know, a lot of problems would arise from it.

Look… Just… Don’t tell Sora or anyone else, ok? It’s really important that word doesn’t get out about this.

[Private]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

All toys, huh? I wonder if that's for all worlds. Hmm...





I won't tell anyone else, but... Sora's reading over my shoulder. He came over when all this started getting weird.

...Oh no.

[Private]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Sorry, man.

Tell you what. If Sora blabs, I'll make good on that promise to dye his hair pink.

[OOC: Visually, as Sora's looking over his shoulder, Riku's smirking as he types this, knowing full-well Sora will get the message.]

[Private]

[ugotafriendinme.livejournal.com]

I guess that's alright.

Just tell him that it would cause a lot of trouble if word gets out. And I really rather not deal with all that.

[Private, switches to voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

[Riku's voice is quiet. He's just curious to know what a toy sounds like.]

I made sure he read that.

Gotta ask, though. Why do you keep it a secret? I'm sure I would have been a lot more careful when I was a little kid if I knew. [The tone in his voice doesn't indicate he abused his toys or anything. Toys do get scratched and dropped, of course.]

[There's a long sigh from the other end. This has gotta be the second time he broke the code, but this time it wasn't on purpose.]

That's the thing... We rather not let the kids know because it'll ruin their chance to imagine and make things come to life in their own world.

Besides, we really don't get hurt or anythin'. I mean yea we get broken sometimes, and limbs can come loose over the years. But it ain't like we bleed or anythin'. We're much more concerned about you guys than ourselves really.
