Twenty-first Key

[optimistickey]

[Sora is back in his own room again. It takes him a little bit to recognize what all of this is, including the pictures he's pinned to the walls and the dirty clothes on the floor. There's another moment of thinking, and then his face instantly falls. He looks completely miserable, as if he's ready to break down any moment.]

That...that was absolutely horrible...

[He squeezes his eyes shut and swallows.] Gypsy...please let's not use the dimension jumping engine again! I don't ever wanna be...wanna do something like that, ever again!

[That's better.]

'Nearly everyone?' Who isn't?

[Roxas thinks he might know, but he's curious anyway.]

[optimistickey]

[Sora crosses his arms and rolls his eyes.]

That creep in the bodysuit, for one!

[thirteenth_brat]

Well, duh.

[Of course Vanitas is the obvious one. Although now Roxas is curious...]

Huh, is there anyone else here that'd be less fun than being mopey?

[optimistickey]

Wellll... [Sora’s gotta think for a bit. A few of the more un-fun people have already left.] Sam could probably stand to lighten up more too!

[thirteenth_brat]

[Somehow, Roxas isn't surprised to here that the eagle is one of the ones Sora doesn't find to be fun. Then again, he feels the same way. Sam is certainly very uptight and perhaps a bit closed-minded.]

Probably? He has a conniption every time something outside of his definition of normal occurs.

[optimistickey]

Yeah. I guess he's mostly harmless. [Not like he's a bad guy or anything, as he doesn't much have the power to stop anyone from having fun.] But it just seems like he's not all that happy that way!

[thirteenth_brat]

I wonder if that state of mind is normal or common in his world?

[It doesn't seem like it's healthy either way...]

[optimistickey]

I dunno...from some of the stuff he's said, it doesn't exactly sound like it, but I'm not sure.

[thirteenth_brat]

Hmm. That could explain why he's so uptight, then.
