1st Journey // Video // In which Sora discovers Vogon customs

[lockandkeyblade]

[The feed begins like many others, with a very confused newcomer at the end of a very long paperwork process (which, by the way, went a lot faster when he wasn't sitting around in shock and bewilderment.) Unlike the other videos,  this one has a rather obnoxious thumb blocking most of the screen. But a closer look and you just might  see a head of

[Eyes widen. For a second she's just looking at you in complete disbelief. Once she has finally computed what you just said, she flails her arms in all directions in front of the screen.]

ABORT, ABORT! DO NOT LISTEN TO THE POETRY! TURN AROUND NOW!

[whosyour_rikku]

They made me listen to the poetry... at first, I thought it would be something cute- y'know, cause they're so big and lumpy I thought they'd have awkwardly-fluffy poems-

but no.

And then they wouldn't stop...

SHIELD YOUR EARS!

[whosyour_rikku]

"Oh blobit of dribble
Oozing from the upturned corner of my mouth
You look to me,
Like you should be,
The thing that dropeth from the cloud
A tiny bit of thee is stuck upon my lip
A little more is stuck up my nose
Some has adhered to my hip
My eyes are open and glassy
My snot is thick and green
And from my ears,
Something obscene appears,
And I think it might be me."

[Headdesk.] It will never escape me, man.

[At first, Sora's startled by all the fuss. So much so that he doesn't immediately recognize who it is. Eventually, as Rikku goes on and even tells him one, his expression slowly... slowly becomes more horrified.]

[Truthfully, he almost needs to lie down.]

That's... I think that's the worst thing I've ever heard.

[whosyour_rikku]

[Omg your face.]

He said the theme of it was "irony"...

[lockandkeyblade]

Irony? [He tuned out most of it, but he's pretty sure that was anything but 'irony' anyway.]

Maybe this isn't such a good idea...

[He looks a little green.]

[whosyour_rikku]

Eh- You're not gonna get sick, are yah?

[lockandkeyblade]

I'll be fine if you don't read me any more of that stuff...

[He makes a face as he realizes something.] I still wanna find my friends, so I'm probably gonna get another dose.

[whosyour_rikku]

Why don'tcha wear ear plugs or something?

[lockandkeyblade]

Good idea! But then I'd have to start listening once he explained how to find Riku and Kairi. He'd see me take them out and who knows what might happen after that.

Unless there's another way to find my friends...

[A gruesome fate awaits.]

[whosyour_rikku]

Do they have a system that can be hacked? Y'know, one that has all the goods on everyone here...

[lockandkeyblade]

I dunno, probably?

Even if they did, I'm no good with that stuff. So no go there.

[whosyour_rikku]

[Doesn't want to admit to her expertise- if the system used by the vogons is hackable, she figures they can probably access this conversation and get her/Sora into pretty big trouble.]

Well, why don'tcha just walk around the residential halls? That's easy enough. It'd be like a mini adventure!

[lockandkeyblade]

[Exploring, eh? Adventure? Sounds like a regular day in the life of a keybearer, really!]

Hey I think you're onto something! I'm new here so it'll be a good idea to check out the rest of the ship.

Maybe I can even ask around for my friends while I'm at it.

[whosyour_rikku]

[GENIUS IDEA, AHOY!]

Oh hey, why don't I go with you? Two's better than one, right?!

[lockandkeyblade]

That's a great idea!

I'm Sora by the way.
