[Any Luceti residents in the centre of the village are likely to notice a splash as a giant furry New Feather is ungracefully dropped into the fountain.

The victim of this event is not all too happy about his condition.]

Wha-water-GUH!

[At first he thinks this may have been some reckless move on his servants' part in which he was somehow pushed in

[consider this kid a victim of the resulting splash. Sora's officially drenched from head to toe, though his hair is somehow managing to still stick straight up-- but once he catches sight of who just fell into the fountain, he lights right up like a Christmas Town decoration.]

Beast? Hey!

[tailasoldastime]

[Oh no, he's gotten someone else wet, too? And it was only an accident that time!

Wait... how do you know his name? You don't look the least bit familiar to him.

Well hey, he's just saying "Beast"... for all he knows, he could be mistaking him for another Beast! God knows it's not like the name isn't that unpopular.

Yeah, yeah, that must be it... um... except how to explain that...?] I... don't think you know me...?

[soracles]

I... what?

[Sora pauses to try to wring out his shirt, confusion etched on his face. people left and returned to Luceti without any previous memories of being here, of course-- Sora was one of them-- but he never thought it'd happen the other way around. that someone wouldn't remember him from back home.]

Of course I do! We fought Heartless together-- Hollow Bastion... Your castle... remember?

[tailasoldastime]

[Sorry, Sora ((what a tongue-twister)) - all Beast got out of that was "his castle".

Pseesh, how can he remember something that never happened?] ... No. I think you've... got the wrong... [damn this is going to sound weird] "Beast".

[stilldontgotit]

[Riku knows that beast... Oh, he definitely knows him.

This is the same beast he attacked for the sake of Maleficent. The same beast who ended up helping Sora after he'd taken away the Keyblade.

Fortunately, Riku's been through enough that he's no longer the same brat he used to be. So, he'll be carefully approaching Beast, not even the slightest bit repulsed by his appearance.]

Looks like you had a rough landing.

[tailasoldastime]

[This cautious yet cool-tempered approach towards Beast concerns him, almost as if this guy knows what he's like.

Okay, yes, he is pretty scary-looking, but this guy doesn't seem very interested in his looks... no, this attitude makes him feel a tad uncomfortable.

Would it really be safe to respond? What does one say to such a statement anyway? Probably best to shrug it off.] ... I'm fine.

[stilldontgotit]

If you say so.

[He shrugs and glances around.]

Not like you're the first to land in the fountain. Guess it's better than the forest, though.

[tailasoldastime]

[Good to know that he's not the first... but he'll bet most of them weren't big and furry, so he probably still stood out much more.

Enh, he has a forest at home anyway that he's had no problem with, but he's not going to say that. He's just going to do his Beast version of a shrug... which is pretty much looking awkwardly off into another direction.]
