769 Bunker Street

[When Sora awakens, he finds himself in a room he does not recognize. He was pretty sure that his parents didn't go change his room around the year that he left. Looking around, none of the things are even remotely his. Something was up. Raising his hand, he goes to summon the keyblade, only to find it's not appearing. Okay, even weirder. Heading downstairs, the spikey haired hero looks around. Where was he? This was not his island.]

Phone

[Picking up the reciever, he brings it to his year.]

Uhhh, hello? Riku, Kairi? You there?

 

Comments

[swineprince]

Oh, uhm... I'm sorry. I'm actually Ebony. I haven't met anyone by those names here.

[heartisabattleground]

Huh? Oh hi there. I'm Sora. But, do you think you could tell me where I am? This...doooooesn't look like my island.

[swineprince]

Oh... It's the beginning of the month, isn't it? You're, uhm... Welcome to Mayfield. It seems like we get a lot of newcomers to Mayfield around this time of month.

[heartisabattleground]

Mayfield huh?

[He's looking around at the house he's in now.]

It kind of reminds me about the world inside the door at the Castle....but not Black and white.

[Not the point now though.]

How'd I get here? I don't remember getting in the Gummi ship and flying here. Heck, I don't even remember sleeping in that room.

[swineprince]

I just woke up here one morning myself. I'm not sure how it works, really.

I... I'm sorry you got stuck here.

[heartisabattleground]

It seems like I do that a lot....

[Sora has found himself waking up in two worlds he didn't remember going to. The first time being Traverse town, the other being Twilight Town.

But his Island was safe. So he couldn't have landed here because it got swallowed by darkness again...right?]

[swineprince]

You do? Have you been here before?

[heartisabattleground]

Ah no, this is my first time being here actually. I just traveled a lot to other worlds.

[swineprince]

You do? That's so cool! I hope none of the other places are nothing like here.

[heartisabattleground]

Yup, it is pretty cool. I got to see a lot of amazing things. I'm sure I still will.

But what do you mean?

[swineprince]

Bad things happen here. People die and come back. People become mindless automatons. A lot of the time it's normal, but... But then it gets really scary.

[heartisabattleground]

Mindless...automatons?

[None of this sounds good though.]

So, who's behind all of this?

[swineprince]

I... I don't really know. But the ones that seem to be involved are the Mayor, the Milk Man, Mrs. Johnson, and the Smith family. At least. There might be a few more.

[promfromhell]

[Carrie is sitting the living room reading a book.]

[heartisabattleground]

[Sora turns his head to see a girl sitting in the living room.]

Uh, Hey there, could you tell me where I am?

[promfromhell]

[Hearing a voice appear to the side Carrie freezes and glances over nervously. It didn't sound like a drone....]

.......um...769 Bunker Street....

How did you get in here?

[heartisabattleground]

[Sora tilts his head curiously at the girl when she seems spooked.]

I kind of woke up here actually. All I can guess is that I'm in another world.

[promfromhell]

Oh. Then you're in Mayfield. Everyone gets here that way.

[Still nervous, but less so now that she knows you haven't just ...broken into the house.]

[heartisabattleground]

Mayfield, huh? Don't remember coming here. But I guess I do end up waking up in worlds I don't remember going to.

[Sora smiles a bit towards her and walks towards her. Bending over a little bit in front of her, he extends a hand out towards her.]

I'm Sora. It's nice to meet you.

[promfromhell]

[Looks at him but then shakes his hand.]

Carrie.

And you were kidnapped. We're all trapped here.

[heartisabattleground]

[Letting go of Carrie's hand, Sora soon jumps back hearing the kidnapping thing.]

Kidnapped?! But who would do that? And why would they trap people here?

[promfromhell]

Were....not really sure. They just do....

They put us in fake families and pretend we've always lived here.

[heartisabattleground]

That's really weird...

[Wait, call the newspapers, Sora just had a thought.]

Are there heartless here?

[Because if so. They may be collecting people like the organization. Or at least he thinks that.]

[promfromhell]

no?......I don't think people can live without hearts....even here.

[heartisabattleground]

[Oh Carrie, you poor naive girl.]

Uh...well...actuaaally...

[He rubs the back of his head.]

They can. But they turn into things called Nobodies.

[promfromhell]

......But people need hearts.

[heartisabattleground]

Yeah, they do. Because you're not whole without it.

[promfromhell]

No...because it keeps you alive.

It pumps blood around your body.

[They learned this in science class.]

[heartisabattleground]

Huh? That's not how a heart works where I'm from. At least, not that way I think?

[Well of course they probably have physical hearts but there's a spiritual aspect, I dunno Kingdom Hearts is weird like that.]

[promfromhell]

[She shakes her head.]

If a heart stops beating, the person dies. You don't even have to remove it. But if you did remove it, the person dies too.

[Stopping peoples hearts....yeah. She is familiar with that.]

[heartisabattleground]

Uh, well...where I'm from if you remove a person's heart they kind of vanish and a heartless is created. Sometimes a nobody is made out of it if their heart was strong enough.

[He thinks for a minute.]

It's kind of what like Donald said. There might be different laws for our worlds.

[promfromhell]

There must be....

You probably shouldn't pull peoples hearts out here, they'll probably just die too.

[heartisabattleground]

Huh? Hey, I don't take people's hearts out! That's the heartless. I stop them!

[promfromhell]

Oh. Okay.

[Yet you talk about removing hearts. She's going to be on edge.]

Sorry.

[heartisabattleground]

[He shakes his head.]

It's okay. I guess not many people know about them. So, there haven't been any around here have there? No one's been hurt yet?

[There's legit concern now in his voice. After all, with the people being kidnapped here, he doubts they need another thing to worry about.]

[promfromhell]

People are hurt all the time here.

But I don't think heartless people are doing it.

Phone

[best_weapon_ever]

I'm sorry to tell you, but unless they've been brought to Mayfield, your call won't reach them.

Re: Phone

[heartisabattleground]

So Riku and Kairi aren't here...?

[He sighs a little bit. But then remembers, their back on the island, they're safe.]

Well that's okay.

[best_weapon_ever]

If they haven't already answered, then probably not.

And it's probably for the best, but you never know when they might show up here.

[heartisabattleground]

Yeah, I heard this place can be bad.

But I know they're safe. I'd rather them stay on the Island.

[That way he knows where they are.]

[best_weapon_ever]

That's how I feel about my friends who aren't here. I'm Tsubaki, and uhm, well, welcome is quite the right word, but I can't think of one that fits, so welcome to Mayfield.

[heartisabattleground]

Nah, it's okay. I'm kind of used to it. But, I'm Sora it's nice to meet you Tsubaki!

[best_weapon_ever]

If you have any questions, I can try my best to answer them for you!

[heartisabattleground]

Well...I do kind have one. Where's my keyblade?

[best_weapon_ever]

Sometimes, after strange things happen, we get things from home delivered in the mail. If you're really desperate, you can go request it at the post office, but it comes with a price. Sometimes it's mental, other times it's physical.

No one knows how they get to us, but they do.

[heartisabattleground]

I see...didn't think they could actually take it though.

[It's strange not having it he's lost it before. But sounds like he'll need it more than ever.]

[best_weapon_ever]

Yeah, they can even take memories and alter them if they want.

[She sounds a bit sad about that.]

So, just be careful. And if someone mentions that you're acting strange, then you probably are.
