[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.]

You know if you happen to get kidnapped here soon I'm gonna laugh.

[Kouki remembers his first kidnapping and the result of it. Man, that's awkward.]

...Won't saying it like that be jinxing it?

I was here a long time before it happened. About ten months.

Not to jinx it, but I only seem to get hit by the group things. And even then, not always.

Ah- it's the same with me! I think it'll be two years in a couple of months...

[voice]

[identity profile] flower-of-hell.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
....Just a couple of months.

But they left me alone for a long time after that.

I wouldn't put that past the Malnosso. Still, I've tempted fate before.

[And look where that got him.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe that's why I said it.

[A beat.]

To see if they do anything about it.

[He doubts they will, after this long, but who knows? But really, he's mostly just curious.]

Ten months, huh? Not bad. I know some people get kidnapped as soon as a month.

[voice]

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the thing about the Malnosso. You never know what they'll do.

[Voice]

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
And here I thought I was the only one.

[Heh.]

Wonder how they decide who gets taken.

[voice]

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. I've seen what they do, even if it's never happened to me. Nobody should go through it.

[Especially not his friends.]

[voice]

[identity profile] flower-of-hell.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
...Rena thinks so too.

Especially when they don't remember anyone when they come back.

[Poor Keiichi.]

Yeah. Funny to hear you say that.

[And to make this a little relevant...] Never been kidnapped, huh?

[Voice]

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You've....never been kidnapped?

[Awed, and a bit envious.]

[voice]

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I know they play around with memories sometimes.

[Fortunately, the worst he's seen is when Xion turned into a kid. Even then, she recognized him. Sorta.]

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
What, you think it'll come back to bite me?

[Filtered / voice]

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. Most people get kidnapped at least once during their first year. That's what I don't get.

[He's seen his friends get taken away time and time again.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Not once. Maybe I'm too elusive for their tastes.

[The sarcasm. Can't you hear it?]
flaring: (blah blah blah.)

[personal profile] flaring 2011-04-08 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course, always such a rebel. Can't say that's worked out too well for you, though.

[Voice]

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[A soft, wry chuckle.]

Well, it doesn't pay to be popular. It took them just under two months to first get me, and it's happened four times since.

Re: [Video]

I wonder if it means I was fortunate. In the end, the same things happened.

Let's hope they don't, even if they do up and snatch you after this or not.

...For me, it's about four months after I came here.
