~Sora (Reconnect)~
"Uggh, neither of you have to wake me up." Sora rubbed his eyes groggily, sitting up near the shoreline. "Food sounds great. I can chip in if you want." Sora tossed a few crumpled up dollar bills towards Riku before picking himself up off the ground to stand upright. At least, that's what he wanted to do, and he would have, if Riku hadn't already left. He shoved the currency back into his pockets, and stretched.
"Hey, Kairi. I saw your score, you've been doing a lot better. I'm guessing you have Riku to thank for that?" Sora spoke, both hands on his hips in a slightly teasing motion. "Just kidding. I'm glad you're here." Sora shuffled his pants, shaking off what sand he could before once again returning to the shoreline.
"Life's really become an adventure, huh...?"
~Ventus (ShatteredBlade)~
The mass chaos that ensued soon after Ventus mentioned his notification did nothing more than drag him into a confused state. It's just a game, right? Why would his friends seem worried for his safety? And why would his brother be so passionate about it? Amidst the ruckus, Ventus pulled out his phone to read the notification to himself again.
Real Keyblade Wielder...?
"I don't get why you guys are freaking out like this. There's no way something like this could be rea- Oh, I get it. You're trying to prank me, right?" Ventus let out a chuckle. He knew it would've been all in good fun. "You guys really confused me there!" He looked at his phone and quickly hit the 'YES' option. "Ooooh, spooky, now I'm gonn-"
It was only seconds after he had began his sentence that his body began to glow. A strange feeling of euphoria enveloped him- a lightness he hadn't known before. A blade appeared before him, floating vertically, beckoning his hand. He stared in awe, briefly forgetting the people standing around him, and the dinner he somehow managed to ruin. He took the blade, and almost immediately, the glowing intensified, growing to a nearly blinding brightness; Ventus grimaced.
When his eyes were once again open, his clothes were noticeably different, yet familiar. This was... his avatar on this game?
"Wha- What is... this?" Ventus asked audibly.
"That's your Avatar, Kupo! You can now use the keyblade in your world!" A voice of unspeakable cuteness broke his concentration. Was it coming from his phone? His thoughts were confirmed when he glanced at the screen- a Moogle was talking to him. "If you have any questions, ask me at any time Kupo!" Ventus screamed, and dropped his phone on the ground (luckily without breaking it.)
"WHAT IS THIS?" He asked one last time, looking towards his friends.
