His explaining. It's here... In video!

[dork_of_keys]

[We begin with a view of Sora's room in the Big House in the Woods. The placement of the camera suggests that it's sitting on the night table next to the bed. Sora is off camera at the moment and some paper can be heard being shuffled around. He walks into frame and tosses a small pile of papers onto the bed.]

Ok, this... is going to be a lot to explain.

[There's a slightly colder undertone to his voice, but it might only be apparent to Riku someone who knows him very well. At any rate, he picks up one of the papers he's tossed onto the bed and holds it up for the camera. It's a printed photo of a Shadow Heartless. He has to have gotten it from somewhere the little beasties are hanging out.]

It starts with the Heartless. Some of you probably know and one of you definitely knows that they're made up of the Darkness in peoples' Hearts. How strong a Heartless is is determined by how strong a person's Darkness is. The weakest Darkness leaves these or weaker.

[He emphasizes 'these' with a shake of the print, indicating Shadows.]

There are two different main kinds of Heartless, but the difference isn't all that important right now. At any rate, they can be made when a Heartless attacks a person and pulls their Heart into darkness or if a person falls into their own Darkness or otherwise loses their Heart. But.

[He tosses the paper aside and picks up another one. It has only a picture of an emblem on it. Said emblem appears to be a thorny cross sitting atop a heavily stylized, upside down heart.]

I have no pictures on hand and no art skills to draw them, so you get an emblem for the other creature than can be formed when a person loses their Heart. They're called Nobodies and they're only formed when a very strong willed person loses their Heart. The stronger the Heart, the stronger the Nobody. The strongest ones still look as they did before losing their Hearts, although there might be some differences. Nobodies are very rare compared to Heartless, but if a person had a strong enough Heart, there will be both a Heartless and a Nobody. Even the weakest Nobodies only come from fairly strong Hearts.

[He tosses this picture aside and is about to pick another one up when he pauses and seems to be listening to something. Someone's talking to him obviously. He sighs and then chuckles softly.]

Good point. By the way, this isn't Sora talking. My name is Roxas. I'm the one Sora was arguing with in that bunny video and there's a reason I'm explaining Heartless and Nobodies here. See, the thing is, Sora lost his Heart once. Or rather, he cast it out himself because someone else's Heart was hiding within and he didn't know how else he could give it back to her. Yes, her. A girl. Her name is Kairi. Aside from being a near suicidal gesture, it worked, but it had the expected consequence. There was a Heartless, a little Shadow, and a Nobody. A high level Nobody. Yeah, that's me. The Shadow, with a little help from Kairi, became Sora again. The Nobody... well, I don't really have anything interesting to tell. Obviously, at some point, we met up. Actually, it was a year later, which seems to have been long enough. Maybe it was because we stayed apart for so long, maybe something else caused it, but when he got back together, our personalities stayed separate. We're still learning to deal with it.

[Now he picks up the third paper, smirking. It's a picking of stick figures of varying kinds, some clearly meant to represent Heartless and some meant to represent people wearing cloaks. At least one of the cloaked figures is holding a Keyblade.]

This is what you would have gotten if Sora had his way for this presentation. Not exactly relevant, but I wasn't kidding about the lacking art skills. We both suck. Erm, obviously, we can take turns controlling this body and while it... isn't the most pleasant thing, either one of us can forcibly take over if there's a ne-- urgh!

[He stops suddenly and puts a hand to his/Sora's head. He seems to suddenly have a very bad headache or maybe even like he's struggling with something. He's clearly a little bit annoyed when he turns his attention back to the camera.]

Apparently, Sora thinks I shouldn't have told you guys that last bit. I don't see why not, though. Neither of us has ever done it with any intention of causing harm. If anything, we're still here because one of us had the sense to put a stop to whichever stupid mistake the other was making at some point or another. Anyway, I think that's everything.

[The video ends with him reaching to turn the camera off. Within a minute or so of the video going up, there's a text edit to the post....]

Edit: Sora here. Roxas forgot to mention he can be a brat sometimes.
