It's kind of crazy seeing all the newbies popping in again. Happens every two months, but whenever a cycle starts, it's like the whole village picks up speed before settling back into its usual calm. Just another part of the routine, I guess.

But it's kind of jarring, too. When it comes to people from my universe, the numbers just keep dwindling. I've already tried getting in touch with Roxas, and, well... You know what happens when filters break.

[...Sigh. Maybe he's getting a bit rambly here.]

Anyway, ice cream. I've got a ton of it that's just taking up freezer space. For any newbies and anyone else who doesn't mind hanging around the fountain, I'm more than happy to toss you a stick. With all the departures, I could probably use more socializing, anyway.

Plus, the last time I got too reclusive, Kairi strapped me to a chair.

[In an apron... with baked goods, but those are some details he'll keep to himself for his own dignity.

But after leaving his message, Riku can be found hanging around the fountain with a box of sea salt ice cream. Not his favorite flavor, but he had to try it at least once. He's also joined by his Komory Bat, who will greet newcomers with enthusastic squeaks and quite possibly hover circles around them. He's kind of enthusiastic.

It's kind of a funny contrast between him and Riku, now a young adult in much milder colored clothes. Even he's a bit baffled by how much he's changed in hindsight.]

See, that'd work... if I wasn't already rooming with two other people. Plus, I don't need that much ice cream in the first place.

Hmm, in that case you might hafta ask if the neighbours mind you keeping your ice cream haul in their place for a little while. Who would say no to somethin' like that? [Probably a lot of people really. But shh.]

I could just hand it off to them, too. Let them finish the stuff so I don't have to worry about it later.

[Simple logic, and why he's handing it out in the first place.]

But you don't wanna lose all of it at once! Maaaybe say they can take half of it, then you can give the rest out when you want while using their place as an ice cream base. Plus if you ever get a crazy mad craving for ice cream you've got plenty of the stuff to chomp down on!

[Seriously thinking about the best way to store ice cream over here.]

An ice cream base?

[Man, Pascal, you are something else.]

You make it sound so secretive.

Nah, if I was going for secretive then it would hafta be an ice cream hideout!

[That has a way more mysterious, hush-hush vibe to it than base does!]

But if you're handing the stuff out here, there and everywhere then there's no way it can be any kinda secretive, right?

Well, I kind of made a public announcement about it, so I couldn't keep it a secret even if I tried.

Exactly, so that's why it's gotta be an ice cream base and not anything else! It just makes sense like that.

[Total sense... Ooh, wait, idea.]

But wait, there's more! You could get an ice cream base and then put that ice cream base on a set of wheels. [Finger snap!] Get an ice cream cart! You can keep all the ice cream you want, give out all the ice cream you can and move it wherever you want it to be!

[Pascal, you have the craziest ideas. Riku gives a soft chuckle in response. Then again, a cart does make some degree of sense.]

But wouldn't I need a portable freezer for that?

I dunno, probably! Or just a super cool ice box that you could push around for the day. Maybe just screwin' some wheels onto whatever freezer you have could work too.

[There was that ice cream stand back in Windor that must have used something to keep everything cold, like a cryas powered cooler. Hmm. How difficult would it be to put something like that together anyway? It can't be that hard.]

Well, I could just keep blasting Blizzaga spells for a while. That'd at least cool things off for a bit.

[Provided he could contain the chill within a cooler or something. Hmm... worth a try, anyway.]

Hey yeah, do that! Just keep your Blizzagooga on the ice cream or whatever!

[An ice spell with a name that fancy must be pretty cold, so yeah, she can see that working out.]

I could help out, buuut I'm no good with the icy stuff.

Blizagooga?

[Okay, now he can't contain it. Congratulations, Pascal, you just made Riku burst into laughter.]

Close enough, I guess. And don't worry about helping-- you've already helped out by throwing ideas around.

Blizzagooga!

[Oh good, she made him laugh! She hasn't exactly picked up on why he's laughing, but she can roll with it.]

That's great! It would've sucked if all those ideas weren't working for you. I've prooobably got a ton more stuffed up my sleeve, y'know, in case none of 'em work out.
