3rd Keychain; {Video}

[It starts in showing Sora in his room in one of the Heropa residences, sitting crosslegged on his bed as he turns on the phone. Looking perhaps rather uncharacteristically serious. Because he has a question to ask - again. But way more important this time!]

So. I've got a question. I can't be the only one that has come back with other powers right? Before I only really figured two of mine but now I figured a third one. Mostly. Can anyone else turn into something else? I can turn into a lion!

[No, really. And it's. Okay this is like. A really adorable baby cub. Because of course it is when this is Sora.]

I guess I figured I hadn't really asked about other people's powers much outside of knowing what Riku can do here. So I'm curious. Besides, there are new people here from last month that could possibly learn from this too, right? So it can't hurt. I'll even show you!

[Not the keyblade or his magic. But what he means when he said he can turn into a lion. Which is basically just. the cutest lion. Riku can testify after spending some time petting him when they initially figured out said power okay.

Yes, there is a rather pathetic roar attempt before he changes back to finish and turn this phone off]

So?

Comments

[munies]

That's- [ insane.. but what about this place isn't insane? so ] - impressive. You've never been able to shapeshift like that before?

[keybearing]

Not like that. I mean, when we went to Atlantica I had a tail so I could swim underwater and all but this is different. I'd never been able to change to a lion before I came here!

[Or rather, he should say, not yet at least, given his current canon point, to be more accurate. Not that he knows that yet, of course.]

[munies]

I can do a few things I couldn't back home, too. It seems to be a trend here - either the power you're given is really similar to something you had at home, or it has no real significance that you can put a meaning to.

Maybe the Porter just thought you would be a cool lion.

[ The man on the video feed is overdressed in his red uniform and hat. ]

That is a beautiful piece of transformation. I turn into animals myself.

[keybearing]

Right? It's so cool! I'm a lion! But....you too? Is it just one animal? I don't think I can turn into anything else.

[Uniforms. And here is Sora in his red jumpsuit and jacket. What is dressing up. Especially in this heat.]

video;

[dogsled]

No, it's... I can turn into a number of animals from my homeland, but one of them is a lion of sorts. A cougar, to be specific.

[ He can show him, but he's waiting to be asked. ]

[booyahh]

I think I've heard of people mentioning going away and coming back with different powers before, so it's not unheard of.

[ She's smiling at the lion ] Woah you make a cute little lion. Can you transform into anything else?

video

[keybearing]

I figured it probably wasn't just me that happened to!

[There's a smile of relief in hearing that confirmation though. He just hopes he didn't worry Riku too much.]

But ah, it's just the lion. But even that is pretty awesome! I totally got to knock Riku on his butt when he found me.

[Because the best friend was not prepared for Sora to all but pounce at him, and squatting more down to attempt to be at the lion's level, precariously balanced. Sora still laughs at the memory though.]

video

[booyahh]

I have no idea what cases it though. I guess it's random.

[ She laughs. ]

The lion is awesome. And it seems useful beyond just knocking friends over.

[flowerette]

Oh my goodness. Look at you. How precious is that.

[ Raina smiles in delight. ]

I've seen transformative magic before. It's always so impressive to behold.

video;

[keybearing]

You've seen it? You mean, back home or others here have it too?

[He's more curious about that than people commenting on how adorable his cub form is. Even if that may be true.]

[voice]

[outlawrain]

Nope, sure can't. Don't know anyone else who can either... besides you!

[Lying directly through his teeth. And the desire to move onto other topics is just proof of that.

Also he's actually surrounded by wolves, and the canine whining gives them away.]

What are your other two, tho'? Do you need some trainin' with them?

[voice]

[keybearing]

I just figured, I guess some powers might be more...what's the word, unique? In comparison to others were more than one person has the same one. Or similar enough.

[As for the next comment, or questions, Sora pauses for a moment.]

I think I'm managing okay. I know how to use the keyblade and my magic well enough. I mean, considering I've never actually had proper training with the keyblade back home and all.

[resipiscent]

Did you need to "figure out" the first two, though?

[keybearing]

Nope! Just this one. I mean, I guess I didn't really have any training with the Keyblade, but I managed well enough. And Merlin taught me some magic so I was able to practice with that. Besides, I reckon we spar enough as we ever did back home so I think I'm doing okay considering.

[Considering there are no Heartless here and all.]

[hands4healing]

[Al would love you, Winry thinks.]

You're...really good at that!

[She was going to say 'cute' but thought, 'boy', and he might not like it.]

[keybearing]

You think so? I'm getting better at it! And learning better on how to move and stuff. It's harder than you think.

[Getting used to running around on all fours. But he's practicing and adjusting. In the safety of his or Riku's house away from dogs that might chase after him at least.]

video | id reads "karen starr"

[boobwindow]

Can't help with that, but when you said "lion" I was expecting... you know.

video

[keybearing]

What? A bigger one? I dunno, maybe in lion years I would still just be little in comparison or something. But it's still pretty cool!

[Even being a bitty lion with a really pathetic roar.]

audio/ I hope this isn't too late?

[debauchewy]

[He'll flick through the network a little and get to this, though definitely later. There's no way he isn't going to keep chatting up this boy.]

A lion? Fierce. [Can you hear the smile in his voice.] I wonder, have you made practice of it yet?

[O-oh.]

[He'll watch and wait, and that lion certainly is not fierce. But the heart in him definitely cries out for cute things beyond most and he's feeling himself smile wider already.]

Such a display, I can't change like that, but my body can definitely change in a way I'm not used to. Hmhm~ Or wasn't.

audio l Nope!

[keybearing]

I've practiced a bit, yeah! Er, inside at least.

[And then there's a slight tilt of his head, a small frown of confusion for a moment.]

How do you mean, your body changing in some way? Something you couldn't do back home? I think a lot of powers can be like that. I couldn't change like this back home, into a lion, I mean.

[oathkeeping]

Are you seriouos? Why can you turn into a lion?

video;

[keybearing]

I dunno. But it's pretty neat, right Roxas?

[Of course he remembers Simba helping him in some battles. But as of yet he hasn't actually been to the Pridelands so. He's just rolling with it.]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

You're such a tiny lion! Awesome.

I can shapeshift kinda too, I'm a baseball.

[keybearing]

I'm....okay I guess it is kind of tiny. But still.

A baseball?
