[ When the device clicks on it's in a tumble of sand and when it rocks to a stop lodged in a convenient dune the scene is like this:

At first there is Roxas, BESET BY DEVIOUS GREEN CREATURES that look a lot like cacti with faces - creepy, yes, they know. They seem to be attacking him, since that's how they roll when they're not running away.

But lo, the sand stirs wildly and it seems there may be another foe to deal with until the sandworm in question snakes right past the blond to devour all three cactus creatures in one fell...bite. ]

Roxas! Hey, are you okay?!

[ Baffling, that voice, considering the worm's mouth is not moving, but then... ]

Up here!

[ The device doesn't have a wide enough view for Sora who's out of camera shot at first, until the sandworm bends what serves as its neck and brings itself face-to-face with Roxas as Sora beams over its head and grins. ]

Or down here. Hi. Roxas, meet Jiminy Jr!

[ Jiminy Jr has more slits than apparent eyes...but they do seem to twitch at the blond, not quite able to blink. Sora, for his part, keeps beaming.

Roxas stares back. U n s u r e. ]
