[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.

[So, normally, Sora might be pouring his energy into objecting to the comment about being bad with directions. He's great at finding his way around! ~~Or better than he was a few years ago, anyway.~~ Or maybe he would initially be a little worried about seeing a younger Riku, at what the point in time he comes from could mean for the state of their friendship, though those fears would be chased away by the fact that Riku was looking for him. Or maybe he would just be really happy to see his friend.

But his mind hasn't quite made it to any of the above trains of thought - instead he's staring at the screen, unsure of what to say even though he's kinda already turned the video reply on. Because Riku. Younger Riku. Which actually wouldn't be all that weird, here, except that Riku is already here. And older. And knows where he is. So how was this possible?

He's not even absorbing everything about the situation, honestly. The dial of his thought process is stuck on "really confused".]

...Riku?

[This is probably gonna sound like a dumb question, but what else is he supposed to ask? Enjoy your suddenly eighteen year-old best friend continuing to stare at you like he's completely clueless.]

Did...something happen?

[WHY ARE YOU SO SMALL?]

[...No way.

Just... no. His older self can't seriously be right! Yet there's no mistaking that ridiculously spiky hair style, even if his voice is lower and he looks older than him. Seriously, how? Sora's supposed to be...]

...I could ask you the same thing.

[Because that's all he can think right now. Words can't describe the eeriness of this situation.]

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!]

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

[Sigh.]

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

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?

Yes, Sora. About time you caught on.

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

[Hey, it's not like every day you suddenly find out that there are two of your best friend around!]

You're kidding me! How does that work?

Hey, you're asking the wrong guy. You really think I'd have any idea?

Yeah, good point.

[So they're both gonna be lost. That works.]

So, the Riku I know in this place has been here for a little while, but...you just got here. Right?

Yeah. It's barely even been a day since I showed up.

So I guess you're the one who should be asking me for directions.

[Sorry, but he couldn't help teasing justttt a little.]

Really, though, where are you? Do you want me to come and meet you somewhere?

I'm over by the apartments.

[A beat.]

Libra, that is. If you want to drop by, it's not like I'm stopping you or anything.

[Even if this situation is totally bizarre.]
