[A screen pops up and at first nothing is seen, though the noise of something rubbing against the screen is plainly heard. There's a muffled voice before whatever was rubbing against it was pulled away. There's now a blond haired boy on the screen, a blue bird with cloud like wings on his shoulder.]

Doesn't look like the fall broke it, Sky... Huh? It's on?

[The boy stood straighter and looked around.]

I guess we can send a message this way.

[He looks down at the screen again as his little friend chirps.]

If anyone can hear this, can you tell me what's going on? This lady said she was my mom, and there was this old guy who gave me a red and white ball and talked about Pokémon. Is that what Sky is? She just looks like a bird with clouds for wings.

[Sky objects to this and chirps shrilly into her trainer's ears. This causes the boy to drop the device, which promptly lands on the grass. Now there's just a view of the sky and muffled grumbling.]

I can actually jump pretty high, so that wasn't a problem for me. And having a Key-

[Almost said too much. Unless she knows about Keyblades.]

-to the gate helped me get into the mansion before I came here.

[Ah, so he didn't actually run into any challenges he couldn't overcome there. That would explain a lot of his attitude.]

I was referring to it in a more theoretical sense, but now I have to confess that I'm quite curious as to how you managed to get a key to a mansion.

[This is the part where he's going to take his time to answer. Twilight had way too many questions, and it was starting to make him feel a bit uncomfortable. Why did she want to know all of this?]

I always had it?

From:

friendyousohard

[Well that's hardly believable, and Twilight's raising an eyebrow here, but she recognizes an evasive answer when she sees it. There's something he's not telling her, and she doesn't know what. Maybe she'll have to talk to Riku or Sora about this another time.

For now, though...]

I see. But we've gotten a bit off-topic. This was meant to be about your investigative skills. I think I'm getting a good idea of what you can do. You've got a good head for finding answers on your own and getting directly into things, but not so much for supplementary research. Do you read often?

[If he's anything like Sora, the answer isn't just "no", it's "reading, what's that?"}

From:

seasaltkey

[Why is she asking him about reading?]

Not really. I can read, but that's not what I wanna do during summer vacation. I am gonna read the trainer's manual when I travel! It's got a lot of info, right?

From:

friendyousohard

Yeah, that's more or less what I expected you'd say.

[He sounds so very similar to Sora in so many ways... but Sora'd have mentioned a brother. Must be another coincidence.]

Well, all told, I'm going to be direct with you. I don't really think you're liable to find anything that hasn't already been found in this world unless something brand new opens up to us. I certainly can't stop you from looking, but I don't want you to get your hopes up.

[And the reason for all her questioning comes into focus.]

[If they were closer in age right now, they'd be practically twins. In a weird sort of Kingdom Hearts way.]

I want to find my own answers. Not just have someone tell me what they know. Even is it takes a really long time.

[He's stubborn like that.]

From:

friendyousohard

What you want to do and what's possible may not overlap as much as you'd like. But like I said, I certainly can't stop you and I don't intend to try. On the contrary, if you need my help you can always call me. I just... I know how disappointing it can be to pursue an answer for something that you just don't have the resources to explain. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone.

[The Pinkie Sense debacle still haunts her.]
