Sixteenth Key

[optimistickey]

[Sora's still in his camping gear, but taking a bit of a break now from some of the activities available on the nature deck. Looks like his Cambot has caught up with him, and caught him thinking over something.]

So...I gotta say, I'm still kinda confused. What exactly happened to you, 90s Kid? I mean, we all thought that you were a goner. Did you just get away from the dinosaur?

[Maku's still in his blanket...] That's a good question. He didn't appear to be harmed, either.

[optimistickey]

Yeah. Like nothing bad had happened at all. But then Pinkie found his hat all torn up...

[virtualunknown]

Hm... This is rather curious...

[optimistickey]

What do you think's going on?

[virtualunknown]

Well, there are a number of possibilities. The most logical is that he simply survived the ordeal. Another thought is that death simply isn't permanent here.

[optimistickey]

I guess so. But it's probably be useful to find out which one it is...in case any of us gets into trouble like that again.

[virtualunknown]

...well, there's only one way to test that particular theory and I doubt I'll get any volunteers.

[optimistickey]

Yeeeah, I don't think testing that is a good idea!

[virtualunknown]

I'd say it's unlikely, anyway. I would think, if that were the case, that wounds would heal much more quickly.

[optimistickey]

That's true...we don't seem to heal from injuries that quickly at all.

Then we just have to keep being careful.

[virtualunknown]

Right. I suppose the only way we'll know for certain is if it happens again. [Adds quickly...] Not that I want it to.

[optimistickey]

Me neither! It was bad enough this time... [And Sora remembers when he thought Goofy was dead, too. He never wants to go through that again.]

[virtualunknown]

Well... We'll see, I suppose.

[liefeldisgod]

I dunno man, I was just checking out the launch deck with Pinkie Pie, when I heard this sort of BOOM, BOOM noise, so I went to check it out.

Next thing I knew I was in my room and everybody was gone, so I just went to get some pop tarts and then I heard something about a party, so I went to check it out and there was Pinkie and she looked all flat-haired and stuff!

[optimistickey]

[Now this is a puzzle.] And you don't remember running into the dinosaur at all?

[liefeldisgod]

Not at all! [said with the goofiest grin ever]

[optimistickey]

That's weird...I wonder what this means.

[liefeldisgod]

I dunno. You'd think a big dinosaur couldn't just HIDE like that, man!

Unless it was like...a ninja-raptor!

[Yes, you heard that right. He's actually considering that as a possibility.]

[optimistickey]

I don't mean so much the hiding part! I mean the part where we all thought you were gone, but then you weren't.

[liefeldisgod]

Oh, that...

Well maybe I'm just that awesome, dude!

[optimistickey]

Okay, there's being awesome, and then there's magically coming back from the dead. Does that sort of thing normally happen on your world?

[liefeldisgod]

Welllll Pollo was working on something a while ago but, he's kinda not HERE right now so...

[optimistickey]

Then I guess it's gotta be something else.

Who's Pollo?

[liefeldisgod]

Oh, he's Linkara's robot buddy! He helps on the show and stuff. He even let me do a review once and it was AWESOME!

[Never mind that it was only because Linkara was missing at the time and he made Pollo promise to never let him do it again when he came back.]

[optimistickey]

Oh, I see! And he was...working on back from the dead stuff?

[liefeldisgod]

Chya! Ever since Mechakara and stuff, Linkara's all like "We gotta be prepared in case he comes back!"

'cause you know, he totally did. And then there was Lord Vyce and Dr. Insano and stuff.

[optimistickey]

That's definitely a lot of problems.

So...did he ever figure it out? That's kind of a big deal.

[liefeldisgod]

I dunno, he always told me to go away when I asked him about it.

[optimistickey]

...Oh. [Why is he somehow not that surprised.] I guess it was a lot of hard work.

[liefeldisgod]

[Because 90s Kid.] Yeah, I dunno how he does it man.
