[After the turbulent events of the welcoming banquet, Sora is in need for good friends, hugs and junk food. And he knows there's others that could use friends too. He sends this text to everyone he possibly knows.]

well first of all who you are...

private

[leggierissimo]

Tsukuyomi.

If it's easier, call me Joshua.

private

[oathkeeper]

[It is them isn't it.]

Joshua, it's me Sora!!

private

[leggierissimo]

Yes, so you said in your original post.

[He doesn't like this already.]

private

[oathkeeper]

[Sora's confused, why doesn't Joshua recognize him?]

...as in, sora, your friend??

private

[leggierissimo]

[... nnnnope! Nope, no replies to be had here! None at all!]

private

[oathkeeper]

Joshua?

private

[leggierissimo]

You must have the wrong Joshua.

private

[oathkeeper]

if you know neku then you're definitely joshua :|

private

[leggierissimo]

He is my shinki, of course I know him.

private

[oathkeeper]

[Sora is face palming his phone against his face right now. He really wants to know for sure.]

can we meet up and talk?

private

[leggierissimo]

[Internal screaming in 3... 2... 1...]

Why?

private

[oathkeeper]

because i'm friends with you and neku and i'm confused you don't know who i am??

[dlkfjdlk]

private

[leggierissimo]

You will make no mention of any of this to Neku. As a shinki, he doesn't remember anything but his name, and it could be dangerous if he finds out about anything pertaining to his previous life. I won't have my shinki tearing himself apart.

I will meet you. Alone.

private

[oathkeeper]

okay joshua don't worry i wouldn't say anything i won't hurt him...

i just want to make sure he's ok

[Afterall, he's gone through this with Riku and Axel already...]

private

[leggierissimo]

He is fine.

Name the place. I will meet you there.

private

[oathkeeper]

just come to my place right now it's just me here

[He gives directions/addresses/godly teleportation directions?]

action

[leggierissimo]

[Joshua doesn't even bother responding, and simply leaves. Teleporting works. It's an ability of his at home, so it just feels second nature. Besides, walking takes far too long, and he's rather eager to find out what is going on.

Sora will have a knock on his door rather soon after the message was sent, actually!]

[oathkeeper]

[There's a moment of silence before there is some frantic running and the sound of something wooden falling over. Then the door opens.] Joshua!

[He was right, it was Joshua standing at his doorstep. This confirmation makes him frown. So Joshua was here as a divine too.]

[leggierissimo]

[... ah. Yes, he was right. He has no idea who this is. Still...]

Sora, I take it. [He's not moving, not until he's invited inside. But until then, he'll try to get as much read on his thoughts as he can.] Nice place.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora gave him a worried look. This was confusing. Joshua was still treating him like a total stranger, despite being a God. Wasn't it only Shinki that forgot things? Sora remembers everything. Including Joshua helping him and Riku through Traverse Town and meeting Neku and all thier friends. So what's going on?]

Do you really not recognize me?

[leggierissimo]

[In person, this is much better. He can pick up on things without having to explicitly ask. Traverse Town...? He's never even met anyone named Riku, let alone heard of a place called Traverse Town.]

I don't. Sorry to burst your bubble. [Joshua waves a hand dismissively. There's only one plausible explanation.] It's possible that we're dealing with alternate worlds, here.

[oathkeeper]

[Naminé had said the same thing to him, he'd forgotten about that until now. She didn't know that she had returned to Kairi... Sora was beginning to think he had a lot more memories than everyone else.]

If we are then... how did...

[Of course, it's awkward to talk about how another Shinki died. So he doesn't finish his sentence.]

I was supposed to go see all of you in Shibuya. You, Neku, Shiki and everyone else.

[leggierissimo]

[Hm. This is a lot of information to take in. At least he can store it for sorting out later, once he has faces to names. Right now, what he's getting is a lot of things that make no sense.]

Mm, that's something I'd rather leave undiscussed, if it's all the same. That's for my knowledge only.

[Haha... ha. If only because it might not look particularly good on him if... Anyway! Shibuya has been mentioned. Shiki has been mentioned. This is clearly not just some sort of coincidence, unless Sanae has spoken with him. Or Sho, but Joshua doubts he would have gotten Shiki's name from him.]

Mind giving me a little bit of background? I'm afraid I'm lost.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora moves back into the house, waving at Joshua to come in. It was going to be weird telling Joshua everything that happened, because back in Traverse Town it had been Joshua explaining everything to him.]

Neku and Beat got separated from their partners and you all got stuck in Traverse Town. You asked me and Riku to help you all out when we were passing through! You couldn't get back to Shibuya until Riku and me managed to pin down the dream eaters with your help!

[He thinks about how they had become friends at the end of it all.]
