[Oh, hey. Looks like somebody's figured out how to work the watch because there's a shot of this silver-haired teen. He grins at the camera, before leaning back against the edge of one of the buildings.]

So, I'm looking for a dork with spiky hair and ridiculous, yellow shoes. Kind of dense, goes by Sora. Chances here, he's lost. Sora never was the best with directions. And in a place like this, he could use all the help he could get.

So if any of you have seen him, do me a favor and point me in the right direction. Somebody's gotta keep an eye on him, after all.

Oh yeah, and anyone got any suggestions on places to scope out? This city's huge, and I've barely scratched the surface so far.

[He snorts, though it's certainly more lighthearted now.]

I guess we'll see how well that will work for me.

[quakega]

Yeah. He's... you're the same way I was at fifteen. [They'll have to swap stories one of these days.]

private - audio

[dreamprotector]

[A snort.]

Are you sure about that? I was extraordinarily stupid at fifteen.

[video]

[aworldwithoutyou]

But you're...

[Well, he might as well just say it.]

Why do you look younger all of the sudden?

[It's probably amazing that he even gets that much out, given how much trouble he's still having sorting this out. Was he just seeing things? This didn't make sense!]

[Echoing that snort.] Aqua could tell you stories; we grew up together, after all.

[A pause.] I remember a lot of yelling, not listening because I was sure I knew better, and one particular loss of my temper that caused me to figure out Quake on accident.

[Another pause.] I also needed Aqua to hand me my rear with magic before I finally relented that it was useful and not just boring theory.

lmao XDDD

[spaztastic]

... It really didn't cross my mind until now.

[ehem]

Sooo, is this a younger you or something?

83 <33

[spaztastic]

Well, no. Not exactly, anyway...

[dreamprotector]

It is. Don't ask me how that works, I have no idea either.

[He's not sure if he wants to know that anyways.]

[video]

[islandshore]

I'm not the one who's younger, Sora. You're older.

[Sigh.]

And I'm not the same Riku as that jerk, either.

[islandshore]

Friends with the other me, I take it.

[Pardon any tinge of resentment in his voice here. He doesn't like his double, okay?]

[islandshore]

Could've fooled me.

[Guh.]

But I guess I'll try. Still doubt it'll be easy, though.

[spaztastic]

[Whoa. Bitter much?]

Actually, he met another me in a different world so technically...

Yes?

Sorta.

1/2

[spaztastic]

... I thought that if you met your doppelganger, one of you is fated to die?

[That's... a pretty morbid thought, Shiki.]

Waaaait--

[spaztastic]

I-I guess this doesn't count since this Riku is younger than you, huh?

[Ehehe ;;]

[dreamprotector]

[...Master!ku may or may not be cringing just very slightly at that.]

I should hope not.

[Because well... been there, done that. Though of course, it had been the Replica, who really isn't him at all... so who knows just how much that counts.]

[spaztastic]

I'm sorry. That was morbid...

[dreamprotector]

[He snorts.]

A bit.

[After a moment he adds lightly.]

But I forgive you.

[spaztastic]

[and Shiki makes a weird sound like some how "ajdakdkkg!!!" became audible to the human ear. |D

Guess she wasn't expecting the sudden change of tone in their conversation.]

R-Really?

[charmedbymemories]

Why don't I meet you in the shopping district then? Just outside the subway station? Make a list of things you'd like to get while you're riding and I can help you find the good shops.

[video]

[aworldwithoutyou]

You're...not?

[Well, that makes sense. Kind of.

...except for the part where it really doesn't make sense at all, but okay.]

You mean there are two of you now?

[video]

[islandshore]

Yes, Sora. About time you caught on.

[Then again, he's not surprised it took him this long, really.]

[dreamprotector]

[He chuckles lightly; this round totally went to him. Shiki: 2 1, Riku: 1.]

Wouldn't say so, if I didn't.

[spaztastic]

[Hey! Give her that point back B|]

I-if you say so. Thank you...

[Ehem.] So how old is this younger version of you, anyway?

[dreamprotector]

[That mental image coaxes a smile from Riku; he can just see the scene before him. Still...]

Your actions probably never had any far-reaching consequences though.

[Consequences like a world being swallowed by Darkness. Or. Almost all worlds suffering the same fate.]

[islandshore]

I'll see what I can do. Guess I'll see you in a bit?
