43 - voice/action for castmates

[stilldontgotit]

[When Riku went to visit Sora that morning, he found nothing but an empty room. He didn't need to think twice to figure out what happened. And... heh, for the third time since he arrived in Luceti, too.

It's upsetting, but Riku tends to keep his feelings bottled up a lot of the time. Doesn't help that he's finally snapped out of experimental stupor and still feels... something. But that doesn't matter right now. Today, he's going to address the journal to spread the news. First, he'll address the others from their universe with a quick filter...]

[Filtered to House 39 (BBS house) // 100% Unhackable]

Guys, we should talk. That goes for all of you. Just drop by House 14, if you can. It should be visible now.

[/Filter]

[After they meet and discuss everything, he'll finally address the village at large.]

Looks like Sora's gone home again. I know he had a lot of friends, so I... just thought I'd pass it on.

[ooc: The whole cast may be responding to voice replies! Just a quick heads-up.]

[Of course she's upset; Kairi's incredibly upset that this is the fourth time she's watched Sora leave Luceti, but she's got to be strong for the others, right? The problem is she knows she can't hide it from Riku...but as she approaches him to watch the doorway for the others, she'll keep quiet.]

...how long do you think he'll be gone this time?

[stilldontgotit]

[Riku sighs, slowly turning to face her. He runs a hand through his hair and frowns. Really? He has no idea. Luceti's just so unpredictable.]

Who knows? I guess we'll just have to keep an eye out and hope for the best.

[meteorical]

Do you really think he will come back, Riku? [Optimism's getting harder and harder to keep up, sometimes.]

[stilldontgotit]

He's come back before. Not just once, either.

[He crosses his arms. Riku's not giving up hope just yet.]

He might not remember, but I'm sure he'll be back soon enough.

[meteorical]

What if it's not his choice this time?

[stilldontgotit]

When is it ever a choice, Kairi?

[People usually don't decide to come to Luceti.]

[meteorical]

You know how determined he can be.

[stilldontgotit]

Yeah, but--

[...No. He won't bring up the memory loss. Riku knows better.

If he had a choice, I'm sure he'd be right here with us.

[meteorical]

Do you think he has a choice back home at all then, or is it all coincidence?

[stilldontgotit]

Probably the latter.

[It's not a happy thought, but that's just how he sees it.]

[meteorical]

I was afraid of that...and we can't change it, can we?

[stilldontgotit]

[He sighs and... shakes his head. No point in dancing around the issue.]

We're stuck playing the waiting game, for better or worse.

[meteorical]

...so what do we do about the other two? [She means Xion and Roxas, of course.] How do we help them?

[stilldontgotit]

I don't know, Kairi. What can we do? I mean, it's not like we can bring him back.

[And he has no idea how it must feel to them by comparison.]

[meteorical]

Yeah but we can't just ignore them either. There has to be something we're overlooking.
