[ Cue this guy looking highly confused and weirded out...This wasn't what the dream worlds looked like the first time, so he was really confused as to why they looked like this now. This wasn't anywhere he'd been before...]

So, I went back into the dream worlds, but I wasn't expecting any of this. A butterfly? That's a little weird. Anyway, are there other people here? I've...kinda got some stuff to do so...

It's gotta be a dream world because Meow Wow is with me...right?

[ Then he grins. BEST FRIEND MAYBE? ]

By the way, I'm Sora. Sorry if I'm in a little bit of a hurry!!

[/dryly amused]

Good luck with that.

[He flinches just slightly at Sora's question and quickly filters the feed. Anything beyond this point isn't for his younger self to hear.]

No, he doesn't. And I really want to keep it that way for now.

[keyblading]

Oops, sorry. I didn't say anything, I just wanted to know what you'd told him. [ A sheepish smile ]

[ private]

[dreamprotector]

Pretty much nothing so far.

I know it can't be avoided to tell him about some things, but for now I think it's better to keep him as much in the dark as possible.

[Baby steps and all.]

[ Sora thinks for a moment ]

I wouldn't for too long though. He may try to make similar decisions here, you know?

[private]

[dreamprotector]

And that's precisely why I don't want to tell him yet.

I doubt he'll believe any of it and... then he'll try to prove it wrong. ...Besides the potential of making the exact same mistakes here is pretty low, I think.

[After all, there is no Maleficent here. No Ansem. No Kairi that has lost her heart.]

We have time to figure out how to go about it.

[keyblading]

True, but...[ Sora's concerned for Rikus of all shapes and sizes!! They tend to want to DO THINGS ON THEIR OWN X( He just smiles now, trying to not completely show his concern. If Riku thinks it'll be okay, then it must be! ]

We'll figure it out together!

[private]

[dreamprotector]

[Well, that's usually because they feel it's their responsibility to do so. This Riku has learned better than to argue with Sora when he insists on helping (most of the times) and so the answer is a smile.]

Right.

[private]

[keyblading]

Glad we agree!

[ Because it was all Sora's idea, clearly. Now, to important matters: ]

So what's this world like? I mean, you've been here for a bit, it there anything fun?

[private]

[dreamprotector]

[Clearly. There's a smile flickering over his face at that question.]

Hmm. It's different to what we are used to. More normal and yet weirder at the same time. As for fun things... well, there is kind of a tournament in a few days from now.

[...The smile fades again a second later though, when he thinks of the warning they've gotten.]

The city government warned us that they intent to use it as trap for some 'evil' group called the Anoli though, so the chances of it turning out dangerous are high.

A tournament!?

[ A frown for a moment ]

This...we have different powers here, don't we...
