[So, funny story. Earlier this morning, Riku had slipped out to grab a bite to eat only, as he waltzed right out the door, he had a sudden and spontaneous departure... only to return about a second later. But before that could so much as sink in? He'd been dragged off quite mysteriously by a couple of droids.

And if that's not weird enough, those by All Passions may notice something falling down from the sky!

...and right into the building...

And right into a pile of clothes! THUD.

For a few seconds, Riku just sorta lies there before his journal lands flat on his face, and a colorful bat soon follows. At least the impromptu landing in the clothes kind of cushioned his fall.

So, yes. Behold the shirtless boy in New Feather pants lying in the middle of the store, folks. He may need a little assistance. Once he's gotten reoriented, however, he'll be storming out of the shop, scooping up his belongings and, with a sigh, addressing the journals some time after that.]

Just when you think this place can't get any weirder, it throws another curve ball. I'd say something about how it's great to be back, but it looks like I haven't even been gone for more than a few hours. And here I thought a few days was bad...

[He pauses, rubbing the back of his neck.]

Has that even happened before? I know time here works differently, but a whole year went by on my end.

[Then again, that year's worth of memories is still a little bit disorienting right now. Blame the quick return, the quick Mallynap, and the three years of Luceti memories, which still ring loud and clear.]

[ooc: Okay, so a few quick things. First, like I mentioned in his OOC intro, his age has been fixed, so he's still in his late teens and not 16. Second, please comment here so I know how much to spoil/not spoil for KH3D.]

[Excuse him for a moment while he just...glances at you, Riku. 'Worlds'? Dare he ask what you mean by that? ...On second thought, maybe it'd be better if he asked when he wasn't looking like a New Feather right now, or something.]

I can imagine. [...Oh, look, all the awkwardness of this guy crashing into the floor just went away the moment he notices his 'attire'.] Are you new here?

New?

[...He laughs.]

Hardly. I've been here for more than three years now.

[Even if he technically went back home for a year, except... it hasn't been a year here. He doesn't think so, anyway.]

[...Well, that's unpleasant. And god knows what happened during that time...] ...It's probably a good thing that time stays still while we're stuck, then.

[Stuck in a quaint little village where getting messed with was the norm...which just sucks overall.]

Honestly? I wasn't in any hurry to go home. And, now that I'm back...

[He shakes his head.]

I hope it stays that way.

[Maybe he doesn't regret the things he went through, but darn it. He doesn't want to leave behind the people he cares about. Ino...]

[That's a feeling he can get behind. He'll nod to that, still giving Riku something of a side glance.]

Do you need help getting your things?

Maybe a little, but it's fine. I wouldn't want to trouble you.

[And besides, he can always make multiple trips.]

I don't mind sparing a little time. Not like I have much else to do.

[Besides, this is a perfect opportunity to make new friends.]

Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt. Besides, it'll save me the extra trips.

[Heh.]

So, you got a name?

It's Souji. [A subtle smile.] And you are?

Name's Riku.

[He crosses his arms.]

Anyway, I think all I really have to worry about is rounding up my clothes and my Keyblade. I didn't exactly keep much in my room.

It's a pleasure to meet you. [A little nod, out of courtesy. ...And then the question mark.]

...'Keyblade'? [Riku, the Keyblade isn't exactly a closely guarded secret or anything, but you might want to explain that before he gets boggled over it. 8|]

Same here.

[And as for his Keyblade.]

It's the weapon I wield. Picture a key crossed with a sword, and you get the basic idea.

[Although... hmm. Maybe he should just--

He extends his hand and, flash! A Keyblade flashes into his hand.]

Huh. Guess that just leaves the Keychains.

[...Huh. Well, that leaves nothing to the imagination. ~~He personally thought it'd have the handle of a key, instead of the hilt of a sword...]~~ ...A weapon then.

And...you can call on it at any time? [That part's what's boggling him. How do you even summon a weapon...? 8|;]

That's right.

[Heh.]

And I can dismiss it just as easily.
