arsarcanum | IN THE NIGHT

KINGDOM HEARTS

riku

Does not think that Sora is Sora. Which is fine, except Sora was more or less sure he was Sora - now he has his doubts. Still incredibly worried about him. What happened?

01/01/20 | Sora loses a list and it's a bad time all around for reasons other than the list.

vanitas

whomst? Literally. Sora has a scattered handful of memories about him, but this is the first time he's heard the name. Reincarnation woes.

01/04/20 | The past tense of yeet is yote, which is what Sora did nigh immediately.

CROSS CANON

hana

Cool soldier girl. High standards for herself. Cheer up, funny face. They may be dead, but things could be worse!

01/01/20 | Piggybacked her off the boat of death into the city of death. At least they're in good company!
01/03/20 | Please stop shoving oranges in your mouth like that, kid. (Also, GET HER NUMBER)

link

Got hustled on his first day (night?) there. Seems friendly, but couldn't tell him much. Sorry, bro! Maybe later.

01/01/20 | Both new here. Sharing food. Identity confusion. You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

rosinante

Cool guy. Tall. Seems straightforward. Sora likes that. Owes Rosinante a really, reaaally huge solid for sitting with him in the fourth? worst moment? of his life. Please stop dropping things.

01/02/20 | Definitely was going to get poked to death here. This is not the fourth worst moment of his life, but is immediately proceeded by the fourth worst moment of his life.

xayah

Still doesn't seem that shadowy to him, but he's not too bothered by a few shadows, anyway. She says she has some anger management issues, but he just doesn't see it.

01/01/20 | Rescuing Sora from his own fool self? She's doing god's work.

rhys

He means well, Sora thinks. Kinda high strung though. Not a bad guy, just seems like he'd be jumpy. Crisis of purpose? You know, Sora can kind of relate now.

01/01/20 | I don't know how to tell you this, my man, but some people really are just too stupid for iPads.

maes

Sora instinctively trusts him, but he's not willing to let that guide him at that moment. Still, he seems solid. Will probably end up taking up his offer to stay.

01/01/20 | Sora from New Jersey collects another dad.

the soldier

It's weird to know that it took death to find someone who seems like a kindred spirit after years of feeling a bit alone. Sora would already die for this person if he didn't have so much at stake, and also if they weren't already both dead.

01/01/20 | Did he ever get to the post office? It is a mystery.
01/10/20 | Kind of a bumpy ride, but at least they're still tight. Also, BALLOONS

aziraphale

If Sora knew the phrase "odd duck", it'd go here. He'd also have no idea that that would be tangentially thematic. He knows there's some funny magic business going on here, but it's not like he's a bad person.

01/01/20 | Thanks for the rescue! What a strange person, though.
01/02/20 | Lays this joke gently upon the floor so we may run it into the ground.

sunlight

Sweet, enthusiastic, optimistic! Honestly reminds Sora of who he was before all of this, except way smarter. Uh, at some point, they probably should figure out who the kuya is here.

01/01/20 | Seriously, is there something on his face?
01/08/20 | YOOOO KUMUSTA MY DUDE

jason

Not quite ride or die, but honestly, they're getting there. Seems like a solid guy. Definitely the type he'd hit up if he wants to chill with someone.

01/01/20 | Nothing like bonding over a near death experience.
