[There's something seriously ironic when your friends get kidnapped again and again and you yourself have not... in almost two years.
So, today, as Riku flips through the journal, he takes a moment to speak.]
You know, I've been here for almost two years, and I've never been kidnapped. It's happened to my friends a few times, probably most of the village too... But it's pretty weird.
Anyone else in the same boat? And if not, how long did it take them to get you?
[Hmm... With that taken care of, he tosses up a quick filter.]

Hey. You doing okay?
[A little later, he leaves the house, heading out to the Battle Dome. Once there, he sets up the simulation in a strange area full of floating stones and rushing waterfalls. Several different Heartless appear in large numbers.
At first the fight isn't too hard; he's dealt with Heartless before, after all. However, as the fight progresses and the Heartless increase in number, it becomes a bit harder to dodge all of them. One of the Wyverns swoops down from above with its talons at the ready, and Riku has little time to react.
So, without even thinking, he steps back, as darkness envelopes his body. He reappears right behind the Wyvern and has little time to consider what just happened. Instead, he blasts a thundaga spell to finish the beast.
A few minutes pass, and he leaves the battle dome. For the next few hours, passers by can expect to see him opening up dark corridors to test the waters. It's true that he's held back a little with his darkness, but the fact that the portals work again is enough to merit some experimentation. He'll be all over the place within the village and forest. ]
[ooc: Mods okayed the use of dark corridors a while ago, but I never got around to an IC discovery of them on Riku's behalf, so here we go.]

Wherever you want to meet.
[Filtered / voice]
[Hah.]
Anyway, want to meet by the fountain? It's a good starting point, anyway.
[Filtered / voice]
I'll meet you there.
[It's a nice walk from the house, and it's a nice spring day, so there's definitely a relaxing note to all of this.]

...Definitely a long time since then. [He muses aloud.]

Riku tucks his hands in his pockets and steps away from the fountain.]
Like I said, it's been more than ten years.

[He shrugs.]
Next month, I'll hit the two-year mark. Kind of hard to believe...

He's had a rough journey, but... he can't just hide it from him.]
Probably a good idea. It's... pretty complicated, though.

[They could always go locate a bench... Hm.]
action
I'm reserving the right to call a lunch break if this takes too long.
[He's really not expecting anything dramatic. Riku's home world had looked pretty peaceful.]
action
[He smirks, turning towards the benches.]
C'mon.
action
So let's start with your age. How old are you now?
action
[He shakes his head, taking a seat on the bench.]
But right now... I'd say around sixteen.
