[Because of a certain conversation Sora is now attempting to defend his honour!]

hey! it’s sora! or hi i'm sora!

there was someone last month who said i’m a troublemaker but i said i only cause trouble every once in a while and that doesn’t make me a fully-fledged troublemaker, right? i don’t cause trouble on purpose! only if i caused trouble on purpose would that make me a real troublemaker!

anyway he said that if i can find people who can vouch for me that i’m not a troublemaker at all he would believe me! can you help me out? you guys can tell him that i’m good news, right?? right?

[Sora has never done anything wrong in his entire life!!]

[ Hold on. Sora can probably hear Vanitas laughing from wherever he is. ]

No, I wouldn't call you a troublemaker.

But you are definitely a brat. Also a trouble-seeker. A trouble magnet.

[oathkeeper]

[Wow!! This is betrayal!!]

vanitas!! that's not helping!!

Sender: Roxas

[twilightskey]

Are you looking for a serious answer to that?

[Press X to Doubt]

Sender: Vanitas

[darkcharge]

Please, Roxas. As his otherself I think your words hold a great deal of weight.

[oathkeeper]

roxas i'm serious here!! you have to help me!!

[spirialink]

oh my friends back home used to say that about me!

[oathkeeper]

really?? but it's not true at all, right! sure we get into some trouble every now and then but we're not troublemakers!

[Oh, this is gold.]

Having a good time so far~?

[oathkeeper]

[DO NOT PERCEIVE HIM]

uh

yeah! doing great! just

give it some time! you'll see!

Sender: Naminé

[lethechained]

[ ... Well. Unfortunately for Sora, Naminé's entirely too honest, and sits there a moment with her mouth shaped into a hesitant line for probably a solid minute before she ever actually puts pen to paper. ]

It's not that you make trouble, exactly.
But you are good at finding it, and it's good at finding you.

[ .... ]

Then again, you're not usually the one running from it, either.

[oathkeeper]

[Well... He can't really fault Naminé for being her sweet and honest self... But what does that say about Sora?!]

it's weird that you and vanitas basically said the same thing...

Sender: Senku

[10billionpercent]

In my experience if you have to deny being a troublemaker - you're a troublemaker.

Don't run from it, embrace it. Troublemakers get the best things done.

[ This is terrible advice from a troublemaker. ]

[book2thehead]

That's exactly what I said to him!

And I certainly never said anything about it necessarily being a bad thing~

Sender : chalcedony

[virtues]

Trouble is trouble no matter how you phrase it.

Although if it's true that you're not trying to do it on purpose than it will be duly noted.

[oathkeeper]

[THIS IS THE NICEST RESPONSE SO FAR... Thank you, Chalcedony! He thinks?]

it doesn't mean i'm bad news, right? I'm good!

sender: ira

[iracorn]

Based on some of these responses, I'm starting to wonder if I should be concerned.

Looking for trouble is only going to cause problems later.

[Is he joking? Is he serious? Does he need to be concerned about his student? Who's to say?]

[oathkeeper]

no ira, don't look at these!

i really don't mean to look for trouble! you believe me don't you?

[Please, you're his only hope!!!]

Sender: Sleeping Beauty

[ibarahime]

You're not a trouble-maker.

[See, Beauty's on your si--]

But you will be seen as one if you ever cause trouble for us.

[... why does that sound vaguely ominous rather than just being an obvious statement]

[oathkeeper]

[Sleeping Beauty... They are supposed to be bros?!]

why does that sound like you're gonna come at me if i do cause trouble for you?

haha i promise i won't!

[Hopefully...]

sender: link

[skyglider]

You are good news.





... And also, I think, a troublemaker.

if you fought with my father then you are a troublmakere

[oathkeeper]

whaaat but he totally started it!

sender : mei lee

[itsgunnabe_mei]

You keep using the word "trouble" and it's going to lose all meaning.

Maybe you should look at it in a more scientific research kind of way! Did they give you any examples of "trouble" you caused?

[oathkeeper]

ohh... uh. should i stop using that word? call it something else??

i guess it started because we were talking about how my best friend gets mad at me sometimes because she sees me getting into things i'm not supposed to.

Sender: Martel Yggdrasill

[untwisted]

[Oh no he's cute.]

Causing trouble without meaning to is exactly what makes people call someone a troublemaker, I'm afraid!

[Got another pot talking about you, kettle.]

[oathkeeper]

[He's very cute! And innocent! And totally not a troublemaker at all!]

is that really it? even if i didn't start the trouble?

[Sora's just looking at his hands.]

Sender: riku

[retrieves]

causing trouble is too much work for you.

[???? is that--]

you can barely stay productive as it is.

[oathkeeper]

RIKU

THAT'S NOT THE POINT HERE

Sender: Ken Amada

[whatsamada]

I'm not sure but I guess someone who says they're not a troublemaker can't be one.

....I think.

[oathkeeper]

[!!

!!!]

that's exactly right! it's right!

[herewardbound]

Out of morbid curiosity, what is it you're even accused of doing?

[oathkeeper]

i'm not being accused of anything!

okay maybe i followed some trouble more often than i should have but that was only because i was trying to protect people or do the right thing, you know?

beating up bad guys when they go too far! breaking into a castle to save my friend! stuff like that!

sender: beat

[stillarhino]

they said that about you?
yo you sure they aint using inverse psychiatry on ya?

[oathkeeper]

inverse psychiatry?!

what's that?!

[Should he be worried?!]

Sender: Yuri Hyuga

[rudehero]

Define 'trouble'.

You rob a bank? Derail a train? What?

[oathkeeper]

i've never done anything like that?!

does breaking and entering count...

sender: Zenkichi

[lemiserable]

You realize that the definition of troublemaker doesn't mean you have to cause trouble 100% of the time, right?

[He's a cop, he has to butt in despite not knowing the guy.]

[oathkeeper]

[Lay that nitty gritty law on him!]

really? how much of the time? like 60%?? ????
