The old man scoffed and adjusted his glasses. “To think I crossed the Misty Stream to attend a trade partner’s royal’s ascension only to be trapped in a mystic curse,” he grumbled.
Sora blinked, picking up on the mention of the space sector they had just passed through. “Wait, what was that?”
“Sora!” a familiar voice blurted from several feet away. He turned to locate the source of the voice when a brunette in a purple dress ran up and wrapped him in a bear hug.
Kairi and Mickey gasped as they recognized the girl. Sora pulled her off to get a look at her face, and he was just as shocked as them. “Rapunzel?”
The princess of Corona laughed. “It’s good to see you,” she said.
Sora chuckled nervously. “Uh, same. But what are you doing here?” he asked. “This isn’t anywhere near Corona.”
“Well, the same thing that the rest of us are doing here,” the old man said. “This kingdom has guests from many different kingdoms and nations spreading far and wide. I am the duke representing Weselton, Arendelle’s closest trading partner.”
Sora crossed his arms as he processed what he was being told, his confusion visible on his face. “You… crossed the sea between worlds?”
The Duke of Weselton nodded. “As we have done several times in our many years of international relations,” he added, as if it should have been obvious.
“M-Many years?” Sora parroted in bewilderment. “But I thought the worlds were supposed to be separate, and people weren’t supposed to know that there were other worlds beyond their own. ‘World Order’, Donald keeps telling me.”
“That would be true for the common gentry,” a man dressed in a Colonial British naval uniform interjected. “But governments and blue-blooded houses have known of the greater World for centuries, and have engaged in international relations with many of the other lands since we have been able.”
Sora and his companions were taken aback. People have been traveling between worlds long before them? If so, then what was the point of the secrecy that Donald always used to give him grief over?
Goofy leaned down to whisper into Mickey’s ear. “Did you know about this, your Majesty?” he asked.
Mickey shrugged. “My experience with external relations was mostly related to my responsibilities as a Keyblade Master,” he replied. “Though I guess that explains how Minnie and Scrooge understood it well enough.”
“Kingdoms and nations that make business in commerce cannot well trade or profit much if their reach is a world border that stops two meters from the edge of their dominion,” the British merchant added. “Were that so, the East India Trading Company would not exist.”
“East India Trading Company? I feel like I’ve heard that somewhere before,” Kairi mused.
“Oh, there you are, Rapunzel. I was wondering where you’d run off to.” The party turned to the new speaker and recognized him as Eugene Fitzherbert, accompanied by one of the Kingdom of Corona’s royal guards. He was dressed in more formal attire, donning a black suit with a purple vest marked with the sun-shaped sigil of Corona. Sora smiled, putting his confusion to one side as he was simply happy to see his friend. “Oh, hello there, Sora, Kairi, Mickey, Goofy. Fancy seeing you here.”
“Hey, Eugene,” Sora greeted.
“Hang on. The worlds had barriers separating them until a few years ago. How have you been able to sail the Lanes Between before that?” Kairi asked.
The trading company merchant smirked. “We have our means,” he said cryptically. “Although I’ll admit, we did enjoy the lack of barriers in the last few years, even while our business locations were being lost.”
“But how do you reinforce your ships against the darkness of the Lanes Between?” Mickey asked. “Especially for the crew members out in the open.”
“Really? I didn’t feel a thing,” Eugene remarked. “Then again, I don’t really understand what you’re talking about.”
“A-hyuck. I guess you could say the same thing about Captain Hook’s pirate ship,” Goofy said, recalling how the vessel sailed around the Gummi Ship to ambush and capture them. The trading company merchant frowned at the mention of pirates.
Rapunzel shivered and did an erratic jig. “Brrr… My feet are freezing!” she complained.
“Say, maybe we should find you some shoes,” Eugene suggested.
“And a cloak, too,” Hans added.
“It’s that blasted queen’s curse,” the Duke spat. “That monster and her wretched sorcery.”
Eugene was incensed at the Duke’s remarks against magic, as Rapunzel used to have powers and Sora and company had their magic, and they would by extension fall under his “wretched monsters” categorization. He stepped up close to the Duke and glared down at him. “Do you have something against magic, pal?”
The Duke gulped in reaction to his threatening tone, then quickly composed himself and cleared his throat. “As a matter of fact, I do,” he replied sternly. His bodyguards gently nudged Eugene to take a step back.
Eugene shrugged. “I’ll admit, I’m not sure what answer I was expecting.” The Corona guard rolled his eyes.
--
Yeah, I threw off the whole established understanding of the worlds here. (Though, honestly, at times it feels like this makes more sense.) And Eugene is really fun to write.
GOD THOUGH LIKE
I know there's probably a reason for it in-universe but they really should let the characters interact between worlds

Good Mourning,
All that we see or seem is but a cemetery within a cemetery, or whatever Edgar Allan Poe said. Fast growing as the sycamore, Indianapolis developed and stretched its branches outward, replacing small residential areas with industrial parks. Nestled amongst the residential areas were not only homes, but the family burial plots along with them. In an effort to preserve the smaller pioneering cemeteries, lost to time and industrialization. The Greenlawn Cemetery, Rhoads Cemetery, and Wright-Whitesell-Gentry Cemetery were relocated to the Pioneer Cemetery within Crown Hill, each grave dug the same way they were originally by hand.
The Greenlawn Cemetery, established in 1821 was the first cemetery known to exist in Indianapolis, originally located near the White River on the southwest end of Kentucky Avenue. In the year of 1912, over 1,160 pioneers originally buried in Greenlawn Cemetery were moved to Crown Hill. This memorial honors these original citizens of Indianapolis including Colonel Aaron C. Johnson, former Sheriff of Fayette Co. Ohio, Veteran of the War of 1812, Sarah A. Baker, Clarence Cooper, Craighead (four unknown), Mary Francis Cunningham, John Given, W.D., Barbara and Sarah Hanch, Nancy F., Julia P., Infant John and George Hollands, David, Martha R., Mary, John, Moses, John, Rebecca A. Margaret, Martha A. and infants Hunter, John W. and Wife, James M. Johnson, Lawson (two unknown), Lewis (one unknown), Benjamin Orr, Eli, Elizabeth and Mary I. Petticord, George Porter, Phillip, Jenny and one unknown Sponable, Iane and Minnie Wallace, Abner S. West and Benjamin Yates.
Wright-Whitesell-Gentry Cemetery, established in 1841. Originally a small cemetery located on the Wright family farm in Lawrence Township. In 2008, twelve adults, fourteen children and seven infants were reburied in their final resting place within Crown Hill Cemetery. Members of the Wright family, headed by the Reverend James T. Wright, founder of the church now known as Castleton United Methodist Church, and extended family members of the Whitesell, Gentry, Easterday and Gates families were buried in the small cemetery with the last burial taking place in 1905. Also interred is Civil War Private John W. Gentry, who served in the 26th Indiana, Co. "I" from March of 1864 until it was disbanded in January 1866.
Much like the Greenlawn Cemetery and Wright-Whitesell-Gentry Cemetery, the Rhoads Cemetery was a small cemetery established in 1844. In 1999, twelve adults and thirty-four children of the Rhoads, Rude, Foster, Foltz and Johns families were buried at their final resting site within Crown Hill. Among the identified burials are James Rhoads, died - 1844, Hanna Rhoads died - 1849, Sarah Rhoads died 1857, John Rhoads died - 1860, Emma Rude died - 1862, Willian Rude died - 1866 and William Rhoads died - 1906.
Monday Mournings are in loving memory of the dearly departed. By exploring their burial sites we can connect to their lives, continuing to honor their memory so they will not be lost to time. Memento Mori.
Rest In Peace,
Mori 🥀
character name & any aliases: Hermione Jean Granger, Mione by Ron and Harry, Hermy by people that want to DIE (excluding Grawp)
character age & DOB: September 19, 2023; 19
canon/OC: cannon
character identity/prounouns/sexual orientation: she/her/hers, cis-female, Demisexual & Bi-Romantic
character faceclaim: Antonia Gentry
character house: Gryffindor
which school they attended: Hogwarts
character alignment in the war/explain if and why it's changed since the battle: Hermione has been working to burn the Death Eaters and Voldemort to ash and dust from the moment Harry got taken. She straight up spearheaded control of the Order, wrestling it away from Kingsley and the others, and refusing to take the "you're too young" comments for an answer. She very happy to point out that she and Ron were the only people who actually knew what they were doing when fighting Voldemort, and didn't give a shit if people disliked her for it.
where have they been living etc for the past year: Waffles between a room at Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix Headquarters
career: Teaching Assistant at Hogwarts, Part-Time. Usually with Minnie/Transfiguration but will be passed around depending on the needs of students. Will also provide tutoring for the children. Is she overstretched? yes! Is she also preparing to take her NEWTs? yes!!! :)
important character information/bio:
~ mentions of torture ~
-Canon bio remains largely the same. Her parents DO be in Australia. It's important to note that the spell she used on them WASN'T obliviate, it was another spell to alter and plant false memories. This is considered dark magic, of course, but Hermione wasn't taking any chances when it came to her parents, knowing they would be a target because of her friendship with Harry.
-The mudblood scar from bellatrix in the movie is canon.
-She is really leaning into her slytherin subtrait and is merciless when it comes to death eaters. While Hermione hasn't used any of the unforgivable curses against them, Death Eaters are either dead or cursed beyond repair by the time they're done dueling with her.
-Hermione is not doing well mentally!! PTSD, depression, & anxiety are running rampent with her, affecting her wellbeing. She has not and has no plan to acknowledge this until it's all over. It's not "Not Ever" it's "Not Now", which has somewhat been able to work.
- She is a LITTLE sus about the Founders Groups, but doesn't have the energy nor the time to challenge them or to question why they can do what they can do. That said, she does trust Sebastian for his sacrafice in being a spy, and is willing to let it go, especially after Harry and Thea were saved by the wards when they were attacked in Hogsmede.
-Hermione practically spearheaded the Order after Harry was taken, and immediately began strategizing and planning counterattacks. No one was going to tell her to /take a break/ or /you need rest/ or anything like that— the only one who could be even slightly successful is Ron, but even that was questionable.
-The mission to retrieve Harry was lead by Ron, but Hermione couldn't go. She was too mentally fragile at that point, prone to bursting into tears at the mere mention of Harry's name, and was in no condition to be out on the field. She did, however, ruthlessly drill the plan into everyones bones, making sure they understood they would have to deal with with her if they even thought about leaving Harry behind (this is, obviously, excluding Ronald)
Claro! Segue o fio: Michael Evans Behling, Lalisa Manoban, Yara Shahidi, Keith Powers, Iman Vellani, Jonathan Davis, Chance Perdomo, Sharon Alexie, Zendaya, Madison Bailey, Mena Massoud, Choi Yeonjun, Urassaya Sperbund, Bright Vachirawit, Minnie, Zaria Simone, Antonia Gentry, Charithra Chandran, Xolo Maridueña, Charles Michael Davis, Taylor Zakhar Perez, Yusuf Gatewood e Idris Elba.
Aproveitando para dizer que: vagas de humanos são ilimitadas, e também, como conversamos antes, à partir dessa ask, é possível reservar outra vaga do vampiro, mesmo se você já possuir um aplicado! Isso, é claro, respeitando o limite de dois personagens por membro.
