[Another day, and Riku's feeling fairly bored. He hasn't had a lot to say over the journals as of late, but hey, it's been a while. And with such an... interesting cycle, he might as well say something.

So, Lucetians, witness Riku as he boredly looks into this magical book and speaks.]

So. I think it's pretty obvious that Luceti's got some 'interesting' people around. Mice, rabbits, turtles, demons... I think you get the idea.

Some of you guys aren't as open to this as others. I know I've seen my share of human haters or people against some other group.

[Not that he's surprised; fear of what's different is natural to just about everything.]

So here's a question. What do you guys think of all the species or races that are different than yours? Especially if they're not from your worlds.

[Ah, the wonders of boredom. And since he's still bored...]

And while we're at it, suppose you could go back to your world with memories intact. If you learned about your future here, would you try and change any of it?

[With that out of the way, Riku's going to head down to the battle dome and start creating a quaint little simulation. With the new battle dome settings, Riku's taking advantage of the features in order to recreate one of the more peaceful worlds he's visited in great detail. Way to go, Riku.

Feel free to wander inside. He's definitely in need of some company right about now, and Traverse Town is pretty sweet.]

Knowing them though, someday they'll make it an issue. I mean they've already had a chance to turn people into animals around here.

Wouldn't surprise me. They do like messing with our heads, after all.

Just don't go giving them ideas.

Too late for that. They've probably jotted it down by now.

Just that mental image is really creepy. Like they're watching us and marking our every move.

Isn't that what they do? At least over the journals.

Maybe. I try not to give it that much thought.

Can't blame you. It makes things a lot easier.

So you think of something for us to think about then.

[Hmmm...]

Hey. You met Terra yet?

Yeah. Why do you ask?

[He hesitates a little.]

Just had to check.

[Translation: Hi, I'm Riku, and I'm clearly hiding something.]

And now that you've checked, what is it you want to tell me about Terra? [Hi I'm Kairi, and I can see right through you, Riku :)]

[...How does he approach this?

Sigh. He's already training with Terra, anyway.]

Guess you could say I've known him for a while.

[As in before Luceti a while.]

I think...that I've always known that. But why don't you tell me about it. How did you meet Terra?

It was a long time ago. Before you came to the islands.

[Well... it's a start, anyway.]

I'm still not sure how he got there.

Probably the same way we all get around. Well, maybe not exactly the same.

What did he do?

He...

[Sigh.]

He chose me to wield the Keyblade, Kairi.

...why didn't you ever tell me?

I didn't tell anyone because it was supposed to be a secret. Not even Sora knew.

The only reason I'm telling you now is because Terra's here, and he's training me.

You kept it a secret this whole time. [She's kind of surprised, but not too much. Riku was always better at keeping secrets than the rest of them]

Riku, does Terra know what's happened?

What, about my darkness?

[...Heh. Of course it'd come up.]

He found out about it a while back.

And what'd he say?

He was surprised at first-- angry, too. Took a while to explain, but I think he's fine with it now.

[He used the darkness too, but Riku doesn't want to reveal that unless Terra's okay with it.]

Using the darkness the way I do... it's something he never considered.
