Ninth Breeze

[salvagedlight]

Wait... we're back to - YES!

[Considering he'd gone to sleep with leaves for ears and woken up with hands, Ven could probably be forgiven for celebrating being back in his own body. Sure he could handle being in others, but this was his, and he started to climb out of bed-]

Whooooaaaaaaaa!

[-only to fall over the edge of the bed. He only saved himself from going splat on the ground by grabbing onto the blankets and clinging like crazy. It works, but he's danging above the ground, three inches tall and in his PJs (which, fortunately, are covering enough to function as street clothes), and he's only got one thought on his mind.]

Not again!

[He's THREE INCHES TALL and weighs like... half a pound now, Sora. When'd you get to be such a baby?]

Sorry! Just trying to get balanced... [But he does let go of the hair to grab the edges of the armor. Happy, whiner?]

[optimistickey]

[That's still his hair! It just caught him by surprise.]

Okay, that's fine! Let's get going. [With that, he heads out of the room and down towards the Theatrical Deck.]

[salvagedlight]

[And Ven holds on like the devil because wow, he didn't realize how much all the Sorabits' gaits sway. Except maybe Vanitas since he's weird. But the rest of them, just all over the place.]

[optimistickey]

[Of course, Sora doesn't pay any attention to this...compared to Donald and Goofy, he's very steady!]

[After a little while, he's down at the Theatrical Deck. Wow, it looks like there's a whole bunch of suits and fancy dresses in here now...]

So what'd you wanna find?

[salvagedlight]

Anything small that can be stacked up - the mice in Cinderella's home got things like upside-down cups and spools of thread to use as stairs, and rulers for bridges and things like that. And... uhh, maybe something to ride on, too. It's gonna take forever to walk anywhere otherwise.

[optimistickey]

Hmm, okay. Let's see what we've got around here...

[Sora leans over to start looking through the stacks of boxes on this deck...there's a whole bunch of stuff around here. He goes through a box of furs and another of colored paper before he comes across a junk drawer that's got a variety of things in it.]

[He pulls out a thimble, a ball of twine, a ruler, paper towel rolls, a comb, and a recipe card box.]

Looks like some of these things will work!

[salvagedlight]

[And due to that leaning Ven nearly falls off.]

Wait- wait- Whoooaaa!

[In the end, he jumps off himself, tucking into a roll as he lands on a nearby box which is steadier by far than Sora's shoulder.]

Anything will help, as long as it's small enough for us to climb up on.

[optimistickey]

[And Sora didn't quite get that this would be dangerous for Ven until he had to jump off himself.]

Oops! Sorry...

[He sets aside some of the objects he found.]

I guess also the question is, where do you want this stuff to be? Just in your room, or between the decks?

[salvagedlight]

[He's tiny, everything is dangerous for him right now.]

It's okay! Just watch where you step - knowing this place, I'm probably not the only one this happened to.

We're gonna need stuff everywhere - the kitchen, between decks, in the elevator, in our rooms - we're not gonna be able to get to anything or do anything if we can't reach it.

[optimistickey]

[He nods.] I will!

[Sora gathers up some of the stuff in his arms, and continues to dig through the hunk box for more of the same items.]

Maybe you should just see if you can hitch a ride on Cambot between floors? It'll be hard to reach the elevator buttons, and the stairs will take forever.

[salvagedlight]

[...Sometimes, occasionally, Sora can be insanely brilliant.]

Sora! That's a great idea! We can make little harnesses or something for everyone to ride the Cambots with!

[optimistickey]

[Sora grins. He can be smart sometimes!]

Okay! What do you think would be good for those...some string or something? [He goes back to looking through the box.]

[salvagedlight]

Yeah, and something to stand on or sit on, so something solid - maybe little bits of board. [He's going to start digging, too, though for him at the moment it's more like burrowing into the mess and seeing what he runs into.]

[optimistickey]

All right...

[When the first box doesn't turn up anything more solid, Sora pulls up another box and starts looking through that, too. Eventually, he comes across a couple pieces of plywood that may have been leftover from a set for a skit.]

How about these?

[salvagedlight]

[Ven peeks around the crumpled papers he's looking through and nodding when he sees what Sora's got.]

That'll work. We can tie string around each end and loop it over Cambot's lens.

[optimistickey]

[Sora nods, and finds a smaller box to gather all of these materials in. It's a good place to start from.]

Although maybe you should also let Cambot know about that...don't wanna catch him by surprise!

[salvagedlight]

Cam'll be fine with it. I think he's kind of upset that he can't see me so easily now.

[Indeed, Ven's cambot has followed them, hovering almost protectively around. It really is like a pet now.]

[optimistickey]

[Sora turns and gives the 'bot a reassuring smile.] I'm sure it won't last forever, Cam!

[And now that he's got a box full of materials...] Let's get started!

[salvagedlight]

Okay! [Yes, Ven is going to help. He's worked on tiny-scale before, of course he's going to help! Sora better work the scissors, though.]
