Huey entered the building, and immediately began to look around. He could hear a few people on the first floor, and several on the second. He decided to start evacuating the first floor and then move up to the second if he had time. "Poor second floor dwellers. Maybe they should have taken this into consideration when choosing their accommodations. If they die, it will clearly just be their own fault." Deciding not to linger any longer, Huey began to run through the building towards who he believed to be the closest person. He bounced between burning hallways and dodged dangerous debris all while attuning his alliteration. After turning a corner, he discovered a young woman, passed out on the floor with a young baby crying in her arms. "Aww. That would be cute if you weren't about to die!" Huey picked up the woman and child and turned to leave. "Now isn't the time for sleep, lady. You can rest when you're dead!"

The building was on fire, and it wasn't Huey's fault. That was a good start. Huey had just arrived on the scene, and it appeared as though multiple people were entering the burning building in order to rescue some poor folks trapped in the fire. "Well, I suppose it's time for uncle Huey to perform his customary good deed for the week." Huey thought, as he decided to assist the strangers around him. He entered a sprinting position, and focused his senses. "Looks like all that gymnastic training is finally going to pay off! Or, wait, maybe it was track?" Huey pondered for a moment while people were burning to death just a few feet away. "Oh! I remember now!" Huey said as he began to smile. "It was both!" Huey began to quickly prance towards the building in a fit of joy.

Arcmin: I dream about a world without war. What do you dream of? Sora: A bloody end for everyone I meet. Arcmin: ... You're not very good at socializing.

Huey strolled leisurely out of the wooded section of the park, trying to look as unassuming as possible. When suddenly, a big pop sounded in his head. "Ow." Huey said, moving to massage his damaged ears. Out of nowhere, people around the park started looking a little more panicked than usual. In the distance, Huey could see a large pillar of smoke rising on the horizon. "Woah..." Huey muttered in awe. "That looks like a pretty big deal. I can't think of anything better to do than run towards it!" His mind made up, Huey began a mad dash towards the center of the park.

Huey began shoveling dirt back into the hole while singing a lovely little tune. "There's a skeleton in the woods! Scaring all the kids, you see. Maybe we should teach it a lesson. That's alright by me!" His voice rose and fell rhythmically in a sing-songy manner, but he was careful not to be too loud. When the hole was full once again, Huey knelt down closer to the ground and smiled slightly. "Best birthday ever." He muttered. He got up and began to walk away. Looking down, Huey frowned when he noticed the dirt left on the pant legs and sleeves of his newly pressed outfit. "How inconsiderate. Doesn't he know that money doesn't grow on trees? Well actually, maybe it does. Maybe he'll grow into a money tree, who knows? Man, I'd like to see that!" After dusting himself off and inspecting the damage, Huey decided that a trip back to the cleaners was in order.

"Yeah, it's nice to meet you, too!" Huey replied energetically. "It's absolutely wonderful to meet new people." Huey pointed directly at the girl who had been talking with him, which normally would have been considered rude but Huey thought they could move past that. "I've got a good feeling about you, lady! Yep, I can just tell that you and I are going to make some pretty strange things happen, one way or another." Suddenly, Huey's stopwatch started blaring. Huey looked away, uncharacteristically annoyed. "Oh, sorry, but it looks like I have to go for now." Huey turned and began running in the opposite direction. "It was nice meeting you, whoever you are! I hope that the next time we cross paths, I can get your name!" Huey then disappeared into the teeming masses.

It was meant to be you, Sky, since you've been the more active of the two. Oh, and Gene Wilder is an actor who gained a lot of popularity in the 70's for roles such as Willy Wonka and Young Frankenstein.

Alternate ending:

Huey turned the corner to see an odd lady disconcertingly fixated upon her brooch. After noticing another lady nearby making a clear effort to socialize, Huey's clever noggin discerned that they were the ones who bumped into each-other. Huey walked over to the lady who was still invested in her jewelry and clearly spoke out. "Hello, Ma'am! My name is Huey and I want to know if you just ran into somebody."

Suddenly, Huey sensed a collision of terrestrial proportions occur not too far from where he stood. "My goodness!" He partially exclaimed. "That sounded hilarious! I better check and see if anyone's in a compromising position, that would be no good at all." Huey began sprinting towards what he believed to be the scene of the accident.

Huey walked out of the laundromat looking rather dapper for this time of year. He had recently decided to don his celebratory suit in honor of a rather special occasion that he only partially bothered to remember. After donning his intensely dignified hat, Huey began to stride down the streets confidently. "Ah, it's quite a beautiful day!" He said, gazing around at the bustling sidewalks of baker street. "Yes, such a wonderful day. The sun is bright and the birds are singing and everything simply feels as though it is aligned correctly." Huey took a deep breath and continued to think about certain things. Huey continued walking even though he didn't care much about where he was going.

I take it that's a no on the candy. Ah well, I suppose I'll just have to eat it all myself! Being friends with people does have its benefits.

What a jarringly apathetic statement! Oh, sorry. I meant just flat out pathetic. Actually, now that I think about it, perhaps insulting the person who's trying to kill my character is a bad idea. What say we start over? Would you like some candies, friend? Don't worry about cavities, I know a great dentist. His prices simply can't be beat.

Hahaha wow I swear this was a coincidence. Anyway, sign me up. Name: Arcmin Avatar: http://kh13.com/forum/uploads/profile/photo-42944.jpg?_r=1420338652 Partner: Ruby Rose Oh, and give me this death avatar: https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=HN.608046754041365505&pid=15.1&P=0

What's up, everybody? Today, I've got something a little different for you all. I hope you like it. I think you will. Now, you may or may not be aware of a certain online simulator that's been gaining some attention recently, a little gem simply called the Hunger Games Simulator. For those of you caught unawares, the game is meant to be a simulation of the Hunger Games; you can submit any 24 contestants and have them kill one another for a bit of idle amusement. I obviously decided that the best course of action would be to take 24 KH13 members and have them go at each others throats over the span of a seven day period. Of course, hilarity ensued. Here are some highlights from the session, along with some idle commentary from yours truly. Here are your (un)lucky contestants: (Note for the uninitiated: Xaon is Squirting Demyx.) LET IT BEGIN THE BLOODBATH YES DAY 1: Oh boy, we're off to a great start. Alas, Baylaust! Once again, you are taken before your time. This can only end in comedy. Huh. I wonder how that would work. I don't like where this is going. END: DAY 1 NIGHT FALLS ON THE FIRST DAY NIGHT 1: I expected more from someone with Winner in their name. You know, they'd make a pretty great rock band if they weren't forced to kill each-other. Whatever floats yer' boat, ladies. END: NIGHT 1 DAWN OF THE SECOND DAY DAY 2: Can't imagine anything better to wake up to than a knife in the chest. And she's doing a splendid job of it. I'm sure there's some universe out there where this is poetic justice. NOOOO!!!! NOT HIM, FRIEZA!!!! Here, take Shulk! Now there's something you don't see everyday. Neither of these things will end well for anyone. END: DAY 2 NIGHT FALLS ON THE SECOND DAY NIGHT 2: You could make an entire movie with that premise alone. Darn it, RoxSox! This is no time to get all philosophical! Pull yourself together! I wouldn't trust either of these people and one of them is me. This makes too much sense. I'd pay good money to hear those. END: NIGHT 2 DAWN OF THE THIRD DAY DAY 3: Dang Shulk you scary I have a feeling these two would make a great improv comedy duo. Like Abbot and Costello, but less engaging. We all knew it was only a matter of time. I honestly thought she would go for Shana first. How exactly would one poison a ghost? What do ghosts even EAT? I know that feeling. END: DAY 3 NIGHT FALLS ON THE THIRD DAY NIGHT 3: There are at least two people here that I wouldn't trust to watch me sleep. Okay so that happened END: NIGHT 3 DAWN OF THE FOURTH DAY DAY 4: I am not kidding, this literally happened RIGHT after the last one. You think they would have learned something from their peers. MURDER OF THE CENTURY EVERYONE GO HOME I'm guessing this is a frequent occurrence. You can see the pain in her eyes. I ain't even mad. In fact, all things considered, this is probably the best way I could have died. Thanks, Hatok. END: DAY 4 Arcmin died this round too but I'm not showing him because he's an attention hog. NIGHT FALLS ON THE FOURTH DAY NIGHT 4: Go, Shigeko! Claim your rightful place as the true Immortal Lord! This is what happens when you don't kill Ruby Rose when she tells you too. END: NIGHT 4 DAWN OF THE FIFTH DAY DAY 5: This literally just writes itself. At least she died with a smile on her face. Weiss would be proud. hahahahahahahaha END DAY 5: NIGHT FALLS ON THE FIFTH DAY NIGHT 5: I like where this is going. END: NIGHT 5 DAWN OF THE SIXTH DAY DAY 6: How would you like to be the one who dies of thirst in the "Hunger Games"? Jeez. END: DAY 6 NIGHT FALLS ON THE SIXTH DAY NIGHT 6: How shockingly anticlimactic. I honestly wasn't expecting much else. END: NIGHT 6 DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY Day 7: I LIED HATOK I AM A VENGEFUL GHOST AND NOW I'M BACK TO GIVE YOU DYSENTERY BOO I like to think of this as Karmic Retribution, in a way. END: DAY 7 NIGHT FALLS ON THE FINAL DAY NIGHT 7 THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE And the rest saw their better.

Also, is there a character limit on posts?

Taboo Name: Huey Belle Age: 16 Gender: Male Appearance: Curse: Curse of the Hyena Mark: Mark of the Hyena (Engraved Golden Tooth) Ability: Slightly Enhanced Physical Capability Side Abilities: Heightened senses in the dark Bonds easily with wild dogs Powerful immune system that protects against most diseases and hampers the effects of poisons Powerful jaw structure; possesses sharper canines Eating raw meat increases physical ability Personality: Huey is a very friendly person. He enjoys long walks on the beach, and eating. That’s about it! Oh, and if you happen to run into Faustino from school, tell him that Huey is still very sorry for what happened to his cat. He’ll understand. Bio: Huey is just about the most normal person you could ever imagine. He goes to school, does his homework, eats his vegetables, follows the rules, says nice things to his sister, obeys his parents, does not under ANY circumstances eat live animals, and has absolutely no knowledge of any mysterious tooth that may or may not have been implanted unofficially by a questionable doctor. I know that may sound a taaad bit suspicious, but trust me! Huey is an unequivocal, perfectly normal case. Yes, so flawlessly, hopelessly, painfully bland and normal. Although, I can’t be held accountable for any actions taken by people who believed everything said prior. Oh, and there’s one more thing you should know about him. No matter what, when, where, how, or why, there’s one thing that will never change about Huey. He’ll always get the last laugh. Hyeh heh ha ha! He also likes fancy clothes, but that might just be a phase. Favorite Animal: Dog!

Are mythical/prehistoric creatures (Phoenix, Dragons, Leviathan, Dinosaurs) allowed? Probably not, but I just wanted to make sure before I set anything in stone.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah Yes, please. Allow me to partake.

Friendship is just as mature a concept as love. It's like Axel said, "There aren't steps.", friendship doesn't magically evolve into love like a pokemon, it comes naturally. Friendship and love are two entirely different things, that require two entirely different kinds of stories. Kingdom Hearts has never been about love, and I feel that if it was introduced at this point or even beyond in the next saga it would just feel like it was forced in to appease the fans.

Then they kill each other. Based on: http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/860/242/a2b.jpg

Reality is a lie, told by a longing mind that hopes to be right.

Their friend Riku, on the other hand, would go on to have a strange and mysterious journey throughout time and space itself. Records of his legendary travels are few and far between, but scholars tend to agree that his decades long journey changed the lives of millions. Some say that he achieved enlightenment, others believe he fell in love with the true oracle of Kingdom Hearts itself and began a lineage of unrivaled heroes. All who know his name, however, agree on one thing and one thing alone: he lived and died a happy man.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My eyes shot open as I jolted awake in a cold sweat, my heart jumping within my chest as I struggled to breathe. My eyes darted back and forth in a panic, so many questions raced through my mind that it was difficult to get a grasp on the situation. Where was I? Where was the woman from before? Was… was I safe? After a few moments of silence, I finally began to calm down somewhat, at least enough to regain a small sense of clarity. If I had to be honest, I was absolutely terrified of finding out where I was, but I reluctantly began to look around. Much to my surprise, I wasn’t in the throne room. In fact, I had no idea where I was. I looked down. In my hands I held a woolen blanket, wrapped around my shivering body. All around me, a grassy plain extended for miles, dotted with hills and winding dirt trails. It was cold and dark here, but anything was better than spending another moment in that room. Now finally starting to calm down to the point of coherency, I took notice of a faint light out of the corner of my eye and a crackling sound resonating not far from where I sat. I turned to face the direction of the noise, and felt my heart skip a beat as I noticed a hooded man kneeling before a small fire, only a few dozen feet away. My mind began to race again. Was he the one who brought me here? Strangely, he didn’t turn to face me, or even offer any kind of acknowledgment. For a few moments, I merely sat and stared at him, unsure of what to say or do. After what felt like ages, I noticed his head turn ever so slightly towards me, only to quickly turn away once more. From across the dark void between us, I heard a soft and gentle voice sound out. “So, you’re awake, huh?” I could hear the man clearly. His tone sounded distant, but strangely familiar. I slowly started to realize that he didn’t mean me any harm. I made to answer him, but my mouth was dry, it felt like I hadn’t spoken in days. Despite this, I tried my best to respond. “Wh… Where am I?” I muttered barely above a breath, my voice coarse and small. The man refused to turn from the fire again, yet he did manage a response. “Well, to be honest,” he started. “I was sort of hoping you could tell me. You could say I’m a bit of a drifter, so I don’t really know these parts all too well.” While he spoke, I noticed that he was poking the fire with a small, lithe stick. This wouldn’t have stuck out to me if he hadn’t looked so intent on keeping the flames lit. “I found you passed out on the side of the road a few hours ago,” he continued. “I thought you might have been a local, so I decided to hang around until you woke up.” The man paused for a moment, and then chuckled to himself. “I was going to tell you that falling asleep in the middle of nowhere was a bad habit, but then again that might make me a hypocrite.” I truly couldn’t believe it. Had that room, that woman… really been nothing more than a dream? It felt impossible. Everything was so real and clear; I could still remember it all with painful accuracy. Ignorant of my sentiments, the man spoke up once again. “So, do you have a family?” He asked. “Any home to return to?” After taking a moment to gather my thoughts, I shook my head, and tried to speak once more. “I… I-I don’t remember… anything.” For now, I decided to keep my experience in the white room a secret. After all, as impossible as it seemed, it really could have just been nothing more than a nightmare. Apart from that however, what I said was true. I honestly couldn’t remember anything. Once again, the man looked over at me out of the corner of his eye. The majority of his face was concealed by a rough hood, but I could still see his eyes clearly; a faint tint of blue shining in the dark. “Is that so?” He asked, sounding strangely unmoved by the statement. “Not even your name?” I thought back to my dream again. That person… he had called out something when he… I shook my head, trying not to linger on it. What did he say before that? The word he called out, it felt like it was meant for me. It was hard to remember anything clearly, but it sounded like… “Raid.” I looked up and over at the man, who was still waiting for an answer. “I think my name’s Raid.” I said again, a little louder than before. The man’s only response was to stare at me with a curious gaze. Even though I couldn’t see him very well, I could tell he was stroking his chin; a very expressive person, to be sure. “Raid, huh? That’s an odd name for a young girl such as yourself.” He said to me. For some odd reason, I was taken aback by his words. Not because they were actually surprising, but because they more or less made me realize that I had actually forgotten what I looked like, as ridiculous as it sounded. Slightly stunned, I released my grip on the blanket and began turning both hands over in front of my face. They were small, lithe, and bound in a pair of fingerless gloves. I then proceeded to grab a lock of hair and held it before my face. It was black, and reached down to my neck. Upon looking myself over, I noticed that I had on a gray collared shirt, over which I wore an open black jacket. After moving the blanket aside, I found out that I was also wearing a pair of dark shorts secured to my waist by a set of belts. The man glanced over at me once again, albeit very briefly. “And those are an odd set of clothes for anyone.” He said. My eyes widened slightly at his words, as I took a moment to look myself over again. I had to admit, what I was wearing could be seen as a tad bit… sophisticated. The man shrugged at me. “Not that I’m one to judge. After all, I’ve worn my fair share of clown suits before.” He said, before he once again turned back towards the fire. I looked up at him, certain that I was visibly starting to get annoyed. To be honest, I was getting a little fed up with this game of back and forth. “Who are you anyway?” I asked bluntly, determined to find out more about this person. The man looked back towards me once again, only this time, he lingered. “Who am I, huh?” He asked no-one in particular. “Well, I guess that’s fair.” Suddenly, he stood up, and began walking towards me. Needless to say, I was a little surprised at his brevity, but I was willing to let things play out if they got me some answers. Once he was in arm’s length, the man knelt once again. Even though his face was concealed, I could still detect the faintest of smiles upon his face. “I guess you could say I’m nobody.” He spoke to me, before promptly removing his hood in a single, reserved motion, revealing a head of unkempt and messy hair. “But you can just call me Sora.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
