■ [001] video

[ The video feed opens up to see a young boy with spiky brown hair, who very much might resemble certain other imPort, albeit this one's a bit younger. It takes a moment for him to realize his communicator's recording, but soon enough he smiles brightly. ]

Hey guys! I'm Sora. Not... the bigger Sora, if you know him. I'm another version of him. Nice to meet everyone! So, uh... what are we supposed to do here?

[ Yes, he did indeed receive the brochure. Did he read the entire thing? He made an effort before getting bored. This is too complicated for him. It's difficult without Mickey around to give him advice. At least, it sounds like he read part of the file folder they gave him. ]

I know I've got some new powers, a new school, and a job now. I've never worked a job before. Then I've got a new home back in Nonah. Makes me feel all... [ A pause, while he tries to think of the word. Wait for it. ] Metropolitan? Yeah, that's it. I don't understand it all, but it sounds like fun!

[ Folding his arms behind his head, he leans back and sort of spins side-to-side in an office chair. Wherever he is, it doesn't look like he's in his assigned housing right now. It looks like some computer lab in Heropa's public school. Data-Sora here is the school's new tech guy. Hi. Work's not so busy right now and he's bored. ]

Oh yeah! [ He sits up suddenly, pressing his face close to the screen. ] By the way, other me? Are you listening to this? I know you're out there somewhere.

...It's a slow day, okay?

[ Sounding mildly defensive. Well, he's not kidding about that. He can hear that doubt in Riku's voice. ]

The public school. Come to tech services.

[The look on Riku's face should say all about how likely he thinks this to be just an excuse. But well.]

There is likely more than one public school.

[Flat tone, because come on Sora, he wants a name. But he's on the move to Heropa at least.]

[ All he's doing is lazily twisting his office chair side to side. At least he doesn't look like he's plotting evil Organization schemes, right? ]

Heropa High School. Not the most original name, I know... but there you go.

[ Sighing, he sits up. He feels a little bad having Riku make his way all the way to his location, when he can easily use his power. ]

Are you sure you don't want me to come to you?

[ And potentially raise even more red flags by showing how quickly he can just beam himself over to him... ]

[No, but Riku knows better than to assume anything anyway. Looks can be very deceiving.]

Definitely not. In case it wasn't obvious enough already; I don't trust you.

[He's onto you, fake!Sora.]

video; super late tag since i've been sick... sorry!

[unglitch]

[ It's been obvious for awhile now, but there's still another flicker of hurt across his face. He slumps back down in his chair. Despite how much he's itching to meet up with Riku himself, he's behaving by abiding by his wishes for now. ]

...Yeah, yeah. I can see that. Well, I'll be waiting. Once you're here, you'll understand that I'm no phony.
