[There's a burst of static, and a garbled sound like someone talking for a brief moment before it clears, beginning a voice message.] -doesn't this thi-[More static, along with the sound of buttons being pressed. Likely buttons that should NOT be pressed, if the beeps that keep sounding mean anything.]-ith instructions or something?

[That? Is the sound of TEN MILLION BUTTONS being pressed. One of them has to let him write. But WHICH ONE?

Until now, this has been a mystery to Sora.

But apparently he figures it out, because suddenly, text!]

jkl;q23fa8sdpj

oh, there it is! Now I can send messages to people. This is neat!

but writing everything out like this takes forever. [Because guess who's typing one. letter. at. a. time.

But there must be another way! Maybe if he can figure out how video works...

Oh, hey. Time to abuse the terminal's keyboard again.

This goes on for a few minutes, occasionally accompanied by various warning beeps and error messages. Finally, the video flashes on briefly, revealing the face of one (1) VERY SURPRISED Sora, who...was maybe starting to think that this wasn't going to actually work.

...but then he has the biggest smile because GUESS WHAT? IT DID. Computer: 58, Sora: 1.

He's definitely catching up, okay?]

Alright, it wor-huh?!

[And all of his hopes are dashed when the screen turns bright red, and the video shuts off after another, this time much angrier, error noise. Apparently, the terminals do not take kindly to misuse.

Finally, there's just a minute of silence. Then...]

...did I break it?

[Meet the future savior of all worlds, everyone.]

[keybearer]

Yes, you broke it.

[It's said with a straight face, too!]

[derping]

[OH GOSH, and now the computer sounds like Riku. Just what did he do-

...OH.

wait. wait.

:|||||]

Hey! That's not funny.

[NOT COOL, BRO.]

video, trololo~

[keybearer]

[Just. Smirking. Sora, you make this way too easy.]

Nah, it's totally funny. You just missed the punchline.

fuuuuuu voice forever

[derping]

Funny to you, maybe!

[HE REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BROKEN, OKAY? Geez.

He's not really upset or anything just...stupid computers. being complicated and silly.]

video foreverrrrrr :]

[keybearer]

[...Sora, that's not helping your case. Nope. Riku's just gonna laugh.]

You make this too easy, you know.

[derping]

[That minute of silence would be Sora crossing his arms and putting on the biggest stubborn face he can muster. Riku may not be able to see it, but it's probably easy enough to imagine.]

I'm serious! I really did want to figure out how it worked.

[He just...didn't know where to start. So pressing all the buttons was the best solution, obviously.]

[keybearer]

[Siiigh, Sora, you are so hopeless.]

Want me to come down and show you?

[derping]

[Am not. 8|]

No, it's okay. I'm sure I can figure it out!

[Because he totally can.

*can't

Fixed that for you, Sora.]

I'll just give it a rest for awhile.

[keybearer]

Too late. I'm heading over, whether you like it or not.

[It just doesn't have to be for computer silliness.]

[derping]

[HEY, HE JUST SAID-

...okay, no. Even Sora can't be stubborn forever. Besides, it's not like he's opposed to the idea of seeing his best friend.]

Okay, fine. I'll wait here, then.

[Good, because Sora's getting kind of sick of this computer business, anyway. He'd rather think about something else.

That being said, he is gonna wait here - especially since he'll be talking to some other people in the meantime, anyway.]

[keybearer]

[Well, Sora won't have to wait long, since Riku was probably pretty close by.

Buuut, rather than make himself known by walking around where Sora can see him, he's gonna stealthily walk up to him and plop a hand on his shoulder.]

Boo.

[derping]

[Andddd congrats, Riku. You got him. Again. Sort of.

(Getting sneaked up on by two Rikus in one day? He really needed to make up for this, somehow.)

Sora recovers pretty quickly, but he's obviously still embarrassed.]

Hey! You could've just told me you were here, you know.

[keybearer]

Yeah, but where's the fun in that?

[C'mon, Sora. You know him well enough that you should've seen this coming.]

[derping]

Yeah, well, just wait! One of these days, I'm going to be the one sneaking up on you.

[Or...one of the yous. Or both of them! Yeah, both. That's more like it.]

[keybearer]

I'd like to see you try.

[But Sora's stealth skills are pretty lacking in his book.]

[derping]

What, you don't think I can do it?

[IS THAT A CHALLENGE, RIKU?]

[keybearer]

I have my doubts.

[It's the most beautiful challenge, broski.]

[derping]

Watch. I'll figure out how, one of these days.

[Challenge. Accepted.]
