[She's played a couple of games like this, most of them introduced to her by the Chocobros, but she doubts that Sora of all people is going to have a game in mind along the same sort of lines as Never Have I Ever. At least, she hopes he doesn't??? He's like, ten.
Nevertheless, Lightning will humour him. She's also curious to know why he's picked her to play it with, of all people.
[Well ain't she going to be pleasantly surprised..........
Sora's motives are completely innocent! For the most part!]
Okay! I'll give you two options and you have to pick one of the options no matter what the options are. So, it would be what you would rather do between two things. Got it? I'll ask you something first.
[WOULD YOU RATHER...]
It's all just 'what ifs' so you don't have to worry about it getting too scary.
[Their line of communication goes silent for a moment, save for the brief thoughtful hum that comes from Lightning while she tries to think of a good question for him.]
Would you rather... see a random point in your future or change a specific point in your past?
[Just... give her a couple more rounds before she's able to "read the room", so to speak! She'll get there, eventually.
Lightning laughs at his answer — not to make fun of him, but because it feels like a very Sora thing to want to do. She's just going to ignore the repercussions of changing the past for the sake of the game because while she may not be the greatest at coming up with questions, she's no spoil-sport!]
[Sora takes her laugh as maybe he said the wrong thing at first. He laughs too, getting a sheepish colour of pink on his cheeks.]
It's true, though! If I could go back in time and do a better job, I would! ... I was kind of an airhead back then.
[If only he could have saved Riku before all the things that spiralled out of control because of Riku falling into darkness could of happen... Gosh. It's a lot to unpack.]
Anyway- Would you rather want to live as a mermaid? Or a lion?
No. I don't know that we've had them on Cocoon, or even Pulse.
[That does raise an eyebrow, though, because she's getting the worst possible image in her head. Yes... it's exactly what you think. This is the most horrific image.]
So, a human with a fish's head?
[Because that's the only logical way that they could breathe underwater, of course?]
[Her confusion is so pungent that the awkwardness can be felt in the lingering silence throughout their connection. Why would anyone want to live out a life with a leg and a fish tail? How does that even make it easy to swim? It's hard enough with two legs in some situations, but having to do it all the time?
Well, at least that makes Lightning's answer easy.]
A lion.
[She's going to go on thinking that's exactly what a mermaid is because she moves on to her question next!]
Would you rather have the power to be invisible... or to fly?

What kind of game? Cards?
[She never played a lot of games back in the old days, so her selection of ideas is pretty thin.]
no subject
[He's chuckling a little.]
It's a game of choices! But don't worry, it's really easy.

Lay it on me.
no subject
Okay. Would you rather... [...] Be an amazing dancer or an amazing singer?
no subject
Dancer.
[SHE HAS HER REASONS!!!]
Do I have to ask one next?
no subject
Yup, you can ask one for me to pick now.
no subject

[is that too deep]
no subject
Uhhh ... Err ...
[Sora wasn't expecting such a thinky question. Here he'd been thinking about asking her about unicorns next.]
I think I'd change something about my past. I think I'd go back and try and help a friend sooner than I actually did.
[And of course he's talking about Riku.]

A pretty bold answer.
[His turn!]

no subject
What's a mermaid?
[
As far as I know, they don't exist in the crystal universe so I'm making an executive decision and going with it.]no subject
[That's so strange! Even in other worlds that Sora has been to people have heard about mermaid stories!]
Mermaids are creatures that look like half human and half fish! They're really magical and live deep in the oceans!
[He accidentally leaves out which part is half fish--]

[Because that's the only logical way that they could breathe underwater, of course?]
no subject
No, it's one leg and arm is human and the other leg and arm are fish fins.
[Sora...........]

A lion.
[She's going to go on thinking that's exactly what a mermaid is because she moves on to her question next!]
Would you rather have the power to be invisible... or to fly?
[Is she getting it now???]
no subject
You'd make a great lioness, Lightning.
[Alright. This is a good question but Sora has actually flown before so this makes it a pretty easy pick.]
I think I'd pick to be invisible. But only if I can pick to turn it on or off. If not, I'll take the flying.
no subject
You can't make the rules on the powers. That's cheating.
no subject
[Sora snickers under his breath.]
Okay, okay. That's fair. I'll take flying then! Because who wants to be invisible all the time?!
[He'd probably go crazy.]
no subject
[Is this what Lightning would use powers of invisibility for? Absolutely.]
But flying is the better answer anyway. Don't have to deal with traffic.
[Unless everyone else flies, but that would just defeat the purpose???]
no subject
[Nod nod. Alright time for a new question, right?]
Okay, Lightning. Would you rather... Would you rather put a dirty sock on Auron's face? Or Snow's?
no subject
[This shouldn't even need to be asked??? The answer is simple.
And who's to say she hasn't done it already? jk]Snow's.
no subject
[No it's not.]
You'd really do that to Snow?
