A constellation of tears on your lashes
Who: Sora [AU3], his cat and you!
Where: Pretty much anywhere
When: April 7th
Summary: There's a new arrival and he looks like a Sora
[Okay, he is not afraid to fully admit that he is completely and utterly lost. This place is huge for an F3 without any sign of the creepy fog that hangs out at the edges of the area that spit people back out and leave them feeling sick. His Faciliberry doesn't seem to be working either which must be the reason he's been given this other weird thing.]
[So if he can't call anyone then Sora figured he'd just have to find his friends. Which is exactly what he's been trying to do for well over an hour with absolutely no success as of yet. They have to be around here somewhere and he's determined to find them before night ends. Who knows what Val has in store for them this time around. Probably something terrible and there was always the chance that there would be monsters lurking around.]
[Anyone who sees him from afar may notice some differences from the Sora they know. First off, this one seems to be wearing an over-sized coat that looks a lot like Leon's over his own normal clothes. Also there's something orange that seems to be wiggling around in his hood. Watch long enough and a matching tail will pop up.]
[Up close even more changes are noticeable - his pale skin, thin features and most importantly, a black collar encircling his neck. And of course, it'd be hard to miss the scars along both of his arms -- one long and jagged, with the other covering a large area. Strangers might be drawn away from all that thanks to the protesting mewls coming from Sora's hood. Taking a peek inside will give someone a good view of an orange tabby cat with a purple ribbon around their neck. Don't get too close or the cat might bite though.]
[Those who aren't brave enough to get that close may hear Sora talking. To the cat. Well, more like responding to the cat as if he can understand what she says.]
Five more minutes?
[Protesting meows.]
I know you're hungry but we have to find them.
[An unhappy howl.]
Okay, okay. Let's go see if we can find something.
[After his conversation with the cat Sora turns to the nearest person, not quite looking up at them and keeping his distance seeing as how the people in F3s are generally the violent sort.]
Excuse me. Can you point the way to the nearest pet shop?

[At the pet store] Let me know if this is okay
And that's Xion's cue to poke her head out from where she'd been organizing things in one of the aisles.]
Welcome! How can I help- Sora?
[The differences don't immediately register - not for Sora at least. Because that's a spiky head of hair and that's familiar enough. Instead her attention is drawn to the cat, and she frowns in puzzlement. Star was black-and-white, so where...
She puts down the dog toys she'd been organizing, walking closer and peering curiously at the cat.]
Who's this? Did you-
[And then she gets a closer look at Sora himself, and suddenly it hits her. Her eyes dart from his face, to the collar on his neck and then back up, widening.
Give her a moment. So far as computer metaphors go, Xion may not need to reboot but she's lagging pretty badly]
it's beautiful
[That meant running an errand first so that Mittens would have something to eat. The bell doesn't quite register as the door closes behind him and he stares at the shelves blankly for a minute.]
[Right up until he hears a familiar voice that literally has him jolting back into a conscious state. Sora's eyes look up just in time to see Xion frowning at him. Neku hadn't said anything about her being here too. Did he not know?]
[Then she's moving closer, getting a better look at the cat peering around him and Mittens is responding. Shifting her little orange body to crawl up onto his shoulder so Xion can give her appropriate greeting scritches. The cat obviously familiar with the person who'd approached.]
[Sora opens his mouth, ready to speak - to say something about how he was glad she was here when he notices the lack of a collar around her neck. His mouth snaps shut suddenly and he clears his throat. So many times he's done what he's about to do. It doesn't really ever get easier. Still, Sora gives her a smile - not his best work honestly but today's been pretty crazy even for him.]
Yeah, uhm, hiya? [p a u s e, before he motions to the cat on his shoulder.] This is Mittens.
/)~(\
Mittens...
[Still... so far as icebreakers go animals... tended to help. After a moment, Xion looks up at him, slight worry (and the usual meeting-Sora nervousness) etched on her face. She recognizes that collar]
You... just got here, right?
<3
[Animals are definitely a big help. He doesn't know what she knows, what she doesn't know. Obviously though the collar means something to her. Sora gives her a nod.]
Maybe an hour or two ago. I was looking around. [Trying to find people.] I came in to get some stuff for Mittens. And I haven't got any munny but... [Now Sora pats down his pockets and pulls out the passcard.] I've got this thing.
