[where the fuck is their girl!!! so like. kairi disappeared into the abyss after kissing both of them (which, hm, sora has thoughts on but that's not important) because at some point he's meeting up with riku again. where are they? i don't know, zia, you tell us.]
Did you find her?
Did you find her?
[they are aimlessly bumbling around at the damn truck stop because kairi left with their braincell
He really runs up and slams on brakes so hard Komory rams into the back of his head. He's out of breath!]
No. I checked the arcade, too. I couldn't hear anyone on the walkie-talkie by you.

[ wow yeah using a walkie talkie would be smart wouldn't it
no, instead the boys might hear a distant but very familiar "sora! riku!" and there's kairi over in the distance of the truck stop waving at them with one arm. she's... wearing a deerstalker hat. that's about all they can tell from here, though. ]

Yeah, which...wasn't there someone else? [no matter! he does hear that voice though and he turns to look in that direction.]
There! Kairi! [he nudges riku just a little, scooping down to pick up meow wow because it's faster to move while he's carrying the bulbous puppycat instead of letting him wobble his way after them. AWAY WE GO also what the fuck happened to her cute hat NO.]

[oh my typo. it’s fine.]
Yennefer.
[DON’T JUST FORGET… wait.] Hold on—Yenn… [OH THEIR GIRL IS BACK??
He turns around to duck under poor Komory and haul ass after Sora. So rude to the bat who he does not grab. It’s fine. Komory struggle flaps along.]
Kairi! Where were you?!
Yennefer.

Guys!
[ don't worry, her cute hat is safe under her other hat. she has not noticed that she is dual hat wielding yet. she looks fine, except for the way she's shivering and all her exposed skin (less than usual because flannel, but also, still a lot) is bright red like she was out in the cold too long. her hands are freezing when she latches onto to them both. which is why she's latching onto them SHE'S COLD ]
I'm not sure, but we came out of one of the locked rooms. I think we were sent there to help someone in a world somewhere...?
[ who's this we business. ]

[there's a yelp because COLD. but give him a second he's going to try and wiggle out of his flannel to give it to her even if he's squinting at her hat and also what she's saying.]
What locked room? [also HE WAS RIGHT, THEY ARE HERE TO HELP SOMEHOW AND SUDDENLY HE IS NOT SURE HE WANTS TO BE RIGHT.]

[Well, he looks immediately concerned when she touches them with fucking Olaf fingers. He can’t help with a jacket because his does not have sleeves since he’s a dumbass jock, but he DOES take both of her hands into his own to rub them briskly.]
You’re freezing, Kairi. [Captain obvious.] Hold on, who is “we”?
[Help her, her boys are stupid.]

[ kairi will gladly take the warmth, thank you. she's letting them fuss without objection ]
It's a dispatch room, I think. At least that's what it said on it. [ she nods her head in the vague direction of it and then: ] I was with Nagi-nyan, Yennefer and...
[ there's a pause because she never got his name. ]
The man with blue hair? He's kind of rude. We were in a world covered with snow.

[kairi's wrapped in black and red flannel and riku's warming her hands which means he's taking over to rub her arms to try and warm those up, too.]
Snow's really cold if you aren't used to it. [we know, sora.] Are the others okay? How did you even get there?

…That’s why Yennefer didn’t answer on the radios either.
[Damb!] Dispatch room… [Sora can be his shounen protagonist self while Riku ponders over what Kairi and the others found.]
You went to this world after going through the door to the room, you mean…? Why would a place like that be inside a room here…

Everyone's fine, don't worry. [ she's quick to assure them! they are all a little cold, but listen. then she shakes her head at riku ] I didn't go inside the room. I wasn't doing anything special before I just... woke up there. When we came back we were in that room, though. I think... I sort of remember being in the truck in between that?
[ not that any of the trucks left, but how would she know that. ]
[ not that any of the trucks left, but how would she know that. ]
So the truck was full of snow? [wait, no.] What even is a dispatch room anyway...?
[he is a concern.]
[he is a concern.]
[ oh my god, these idiots. kairi huffs a bit ]
No, I wasn't in there, I just sort of remember being driven back somehow, even if we ended up inside this dispatch place when we woke up. [ she moves her hand to rub at her very red exposed thighs, because skirts were a mistake in winter ] There's a radio, and a switchboard with lights that have all of our names written on them.

[oh that's not great.]
I didn't get a good look in the trucks but...it wasn't a great idea either. Something felt wrong. [but right. focus.] Were you able to talk to anybody else with the radio? [he would ask about the lights but he's leaving riku some of the shared braincell.]

I know—listen to me. It wasn’t that you were in a truck. It’s that the trucks aren’t normal.
[He gestures at Sora with both his own and Kairi’s hands at “something felt wrong,” see! And then he looks like “oh???”]
A switchboard with our names…? We’re… any of the lights off…?
…
Are we being transported like cargo?

[ huh. the trucks are definitely wrong. ]
All the lights were on... I didn't spend a lot of them in there. I went to find you guys right away.
[ and forgot to use her radio, like a fool ]
Oh, I also got a coupon, for a reward?

I wonder if there's a way we can go back and check it out ourselves to see if the lights changed now that you're out of there. [it's very! disconcerting! that there are lights with their names!
but then he's like huh??]
A coupon?
but then he's like huh??]
A coupon?
We can check. It should still be unlocked.
[ but since they're asking, she's rooting through her dress pockets. the coupon reads "Redeem at the Cash Register for (1) Furry Friend" ]
We all got one, but everyone had something different on them.

We should check just in case. [he will also hammer this point in tomorrow when iris turns up dead, but anyway. he's squinting a little.]
...that's different than the receipt we got earlier, right?
...that's different than the receipt we got earlier, right?
The receipt... No, that's different. [ she tilts her head in thought ] You two should try hitting the register for yourselves, later.
[ vague. but she nods at riku ]
I was planning to. It can't be anything bad if it's a friend, right? Let's go see the room, you guys can see for yourself. And I can tell you what happened over in the other world!

[normally with anyone else he'd flat out ask why he has to do that, but he trusts kairi and riku almost blindly so.]
Later. We'll go separately and then we can figure stuff out. [he frowns though.] We should get you warmed up first before we go anywhere, but I kinda want to see this room. And Riku's right, you should redeem it when you can.
