[action / voice] backdated to the 16th
[Billy wakes up for the first time since the portal drama feeling nauseous, exhausted, and heartsick: sort of like waking from a long nightmare, only he can't recall dreaming at all. Instead of being at home in his own world and his own bed, he's still in Luceti, and what's worse is that he's alone. His magic doesn't seem to be working, either. Panic sets in, and... well...
After a bit of trouble-at-home, and a resolution that leaves him feeling even more weary, the reality of his (or rather, their) situation really sinks in: the portal didn't work. And while none of the people involved in the execution of said plan are in any great state of being today, he seems to be the only one who's up and talking and available to explain the situation to the general public (at least, to those who didn't witness what a spectacular disaster it was), and that leaves announcing it up to him.
Unfortunately.
He delays it as much as he feels that he can, perusing the journal in the desperate hope that someone else has done it for him, then wondering if it would be better to wait for someone more in-the-know to do it, until finally he steps up to the plate. Now or never.]
...Hey everyone. I'm sure a lot of you already heard, but for those that haven't, Tony and Jane's big escape portal didn't work. It kind of backfired yesterday, and...
[His voice trails off in the beginnings of a more distraught tone, so he pauses to compose himself.]
Nobody died? I mean, we've got that going for us. For what it's worth. But no one went home, either. The whole thing was a bust. No point in even keeping it a secret anymore.
One last thank you to everybody who gave up their mission points to get parts for it, though. I don't think it was a waste or anything - I mean, trying's better than sitting around and doing nothing, and something definitely happened, so we at least pushed a few of their buttons - but...
[Ugh, why did he think this was a good idea?]
...sorry it wasn't what we thought it would be. That's all.
[After that he really just wants to curl up in bed and pretend to be unconscious for the next several days, but that's not particularly responsible, so he'll have to settle for making it a few hours instead. It's the little things in life.]

Sora pauses for a few moments before he responds.]
Hey, no need to be sorry, okay? You guys tried your best and that's all that matters. We'll just think of a new way to get home, that's all!
Voice
Yeah... we'll get there eventually.
[He just wishes he could sound as sure about it.]
Voice
Hey, it might look bad now, but you'll see. We'll figure away out.
But, are you all right? How bad was it?
Voice
It... was bad. It was really bad.
You're probably just better off not hearing about it. I don't even know what to say.
Voice
[Hearing his friend hurt so much...yeah it's painful. His heart just aches for Billy. He must have been really closely involved. But, he can't force the magician boy to tell him.
Maybe Sora can at least take his mind off of it.]
Hey, do you need any company right now?
Voice
[Still, the offer's nice. He just doesn't want to be a lousy host.]
If you want to drop by, though, I won't stop you.
Voice
[He's only talked to Teddy a handful of times so he just needs the reminder.]
I mean, if you want more company that is. Wouldn't want to barge in on you two.
[Okay, there might be some mild teasing in there if only to lighten the mood.]
Voice
Yeah, my boyfriend. We're just trying to relax, though, don't worry about it.
Re: Voice
Hm, I see.
[He pauses for awhile before he decides:]
When you're up for it, do you want to go ice skating or something sometime? Before all the ice melts I mean.
[It was one way to get the poor guy off his problems.]
Voice
[If nothing else, he's got Billy distracted by his own embarrassment.]
I don't, uh. Really know how. I mean, I'm terrible at it.
Voice
And then Billy said it.
Well...]
So? We can learn together. I've never skated in my life either.
C'mon, it'd be fun.
Voice
I'll... think about it. Maybe. Public humiliation and a runny nose isn't exactly my idea of cheering up, and- come on, the end of March? You're just asking to fall through the ice. If there's even any left.
Re: Voice
I don't see why people would find it funny about us learning how to skate.
And that's what blizzard spells are for.
[His voice seems light hearted about it all after saying that.]
But, okay. Iiiii'd probably win anyways.
[This became a challenge.]
Voice
[SORA THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE]
Voice
Yup, exactly! C'mon you know it'd be fun.
[This is his way of cheering you up.]
Voice
[Don't you love being friends with a cynic?]
Voice
See who is the first to be able to skate around the pond without falling, of course.
Voice
[omg Sora some of us can't heal ourselves]
Re: Voice
[Some spells are party range.]
Voice
[One of the downsides of his own not working on himself.]
Voice
[He'll just need to figure out how to use it first. Keysmashing usually did that, right?]
Voice
...Okay, okay. I'll let you know when I feel up to it.
Re: Voice
[He's the best at tech support, Billy. Look at what he did in the tron world. He hit the MCP until it died.]
