[Filtered from OU!Riku]
Did anyone here ever have the questionable pleasure of running into themselves?
[Filtered to Guardians of Light (Sora, Kairi, Aqua, Terra, Xion, Naminé)]
...A blast from the past showed up. A "me", that never experienced anything of the stuff that really mattered.
[Like betraying Sora. Like getting possessed. Like Castle Oblivion. Like really anything of the stuff that had made him realize just how much of an idiot he'd been.]
...I have a request. Don't tell him anything about the things that happened beyond what he knows.
[Basically, don't tell him anything. At all.
Later that day, Riku can be found sitting in the tenth floor community room in Pisces, warily rubbing the bridge of his nose. And maybe kind of really wising whatever force invited them to Hinoto-Ri could have waited another eight months or so.]

Whoever this guy is, he sounds...remarkably excited.
"There's another me here, and also another me from the times I'm a girl!"
...huh?
Voice
...Sounds complicated.
Voice
A pause as his train of thought gets back on track.
"Anyways, yeah, there's a couple of me's here that...aren't me? For some reason?"
He doesn't really get how that works.
Voice
You mean a Replica?
[That's. the only kind of Self That Isn't A Self he can think of. Though he considers Replicas to be their own persons by now anyways, but. It's complicated.]
Voice
Thoughtful humming.
"Pretty sure it didn't start happening until like...eight hundred years in?"
Voice
...
...He doesn't really have words to comment on this.
Except...]
...And I thought my life was confusing.
Voice
Voice
Somehow I'm not surprised by that.
Voice -> Video
Slight pause, and then the video feed snaps on.
"Anyway, hi! Nice to meet you."
...his smile is slightly too wide to be comfortable.
Voice -> Video
[...Yeah, that smile doesn't look entirely right.
> You note this with a light frown.
> You decide that there can't be all that much harm in activating the video feed on your end as well.]
...You too.
Video
He tilts his head to one side as he waits for you to reply.
Video
My name is Riku.
...Do you want to be called Minato, or is there a name you would prefer to that?
Video
"Doesn't really matter to me, honestly! It is nice of you to ask, though."
He pauses for thought before continuing.
"I usually just let people call me Minato, really - I don't even remember what my real name was."
Video
There's a difference between letting people call you something and wanting to be called it. ...Though, I guess it's Minato then?
Do you want to remember it?
Video
"Well, you know. It's just another thing I've lost."
Still grinning with slightly too many teeth.
"I mean, I wouldn't mind remembering it, but just the freedom to do whatever in this place is almost worth not having it!"
