[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.]

[ Stops. Dead. ]
--what?! Axel's alive?! How?!
no subject
[Well, technically he's going by Lea again, but details.]
As for Xehanort, he's... bad news, to put it lightly. You know Xemnas? He's Xehanort's Nobody. And Ansem? His Heartless.
no subject
REALLY
REALLY EMOTIONAL ABOUT AXEL.
She lowers her journal so she can press both hands to her face, just ... sitting there as emotions roll over her.
That awful day... the day Axel told her his fate... she remembers it so clearly. He called her up onto the roof. When she heard those words, the story of how he died, she cried so much. It hurt like nothing she'd ever known. And when he'd left Luceti... it was like he'd really died, because she knew what he was going to. It had ripped her to pieces.
So to hear not only that he's alive, but whole... with his heart back, a real person...
He's real. Axel is real, and he's alive.
Completely overcome, Xion doesn't reply for several long moments. It's all she can do not to cry. When she does finally pipe up, her voice is a little watery, but she's smiling. ]
That's ... that's good. I'm really glad to hear that. How do you know...? Did you see him, Riku?
[ She'll get back to Xehanort in a minute, okay. ]
no subject
[But that's just his style, really. Riku's learned not to question it.]
no subject
She's a little lost for words, honestly. ]
Riku... that means so much to me. Thank you...
MAJOR MASSIVE MONDO SPOILER GUYS
[He laughs. But there's one thing that still kinda baffles him.]
But if you think that's shocking, get this: he's got a Keyblade now.
YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WARNED
no subject
[He snickers.]
There's definitely no shortage of Keybearers. Now we just have to save the rest of you guys.
no subject
So he and Roxas... and Sora, Kairi... and Riku, of course... Aqua, Terra, and Ven...
They can all do it. They can all wield the Keyblade.
She's the only one who can't. She was made to wield the Keyblade... and she can't. If she ever tries again... someone will die. Or worse. Much, much worse.
(Moster. Replica. How dare you exist?)
It takes her a moment to shake herself out of it. It's been a long time since she's thought like that... ]
... you can save us? How?
no subject
[He laughs.]
The way he connects to so many different people... If anyone can pull it off, he can.
no subject
So he's okay? [ With a gentle smile. She misses him.
If only she knew what was to come.]no subject
[Hopefully, anyway. Sora's pulled through before.]
no subject
She trails off, but her meaning is clear. I'd trust the two of you. ]
no subject
After all, you guys deserve better than to sleep in sorrow.
no subject
no subject
Obviously the former applies to you and Roxas more than anything else.
[Still, Terra and Aqua's fates remain up in the air. That much is also clear.]
no subject
... Riku, are we ... really supposed to wake up? Maybe that's not...
[ ... how it's supposed to be. ]
no subject
[And besides, they're going to need all the help they can get. Xion, Roxas, Ventus... they'd all help to even the odds.]
no subject
If you're sure.
[ Gently, with the tone of someone who doesn't quite believe. ]
