I've been slacking. Just goofing off won't get me any closer to that Keyblade. And this "dawn"... It has something to do with darkness, but it isn't the same.

Dawn comes before day. So... heh. Why didn't I think of it before?

[Riku's speech seems...almost nasally. But that's what happens when you goof off in the snow and wind up totally drenched.]

Sora's been kidnapped again. Figures it would happen eventually... the Malnosso just don't know when to quit.

[and there's a pause]

But I wonder what they're up to. I can't be the only one who got a letter. This better be some kind of sick joke.

[Kairi]

Hey. You get one too?

[/Kairi]


[Xion]

Feeling any better?

Heh. You know, you're just as sappy as he is.

[they could be at this for a while. A wild goose chase!]

[meteorical]

Oh hush you. [Sticks out her tongue but keeps looking.]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Or what? You'll throw another pillow?

[La de da... looking.]

How long are you going to keep at this?

[meteorical]

Exactly! [Stilllll looking.] Either until I find it, or until Sora comes back. Whichever comes first.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

You do realize we could be up for days, right?

[sighhh]

So, suppose we do find it, and he comes back. Would you actually go?

[meteorical]

...[She stops looking then, really thinking this through.] ...would you?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Not a chance.

[meteorical]

Then there's my answer.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Even if Sora wanted to?

[meteorical]

Nope. I'm not going without both of you.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

... Heh.

I'd probably be there when you got back even if I did stay. But... thanks, Kairi.

[meteorical]

Even if you were waiting for us when we got back, it wouldn't be right leaving this you here.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

And it's probably still fake.

[meteorical]

Huh?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

The letter. I doubt it's true.

[meteorical]

Probably not...

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

What? You think it is?

Or maybe you just hope it is.

[meteorical]

I'm just keeping an open mind.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Right.

[...well, this looking isn't getting him anywhere. Riku's going to...lean against a wall for a bit!]

How important is getting back to you, anyway? I'm guessing you miss the islands.

[meteorical]

It's up there...but I mean, I just want to go home and have both of you home, too. It's been too long, and we were barely there before we got stuck here. Well, I was. You and Sora are from different times.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Heh. Completely opposite for me.

[He shakes his head.]

And what about memories? Would you actually want to remember this place?

[meteorical]

I think it's kind of important to remember some things. And besides, not everything about this place has been horrible.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. But if I remembered...

[a pause]

Let's just say it could mess things up.

[meteorical]

...like what?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Kairi. I know my future.

Do you really think I'd give into the darkness if I went back the way I am?
