[A somewhat unfamiliar being seems to be creeping along the hall, away from the simulation room. He's on the prowl for hearts, so do be sure to keep your distance, and mind the strong scent of darkness coming from him. He'll likely attack anyone who approaches, though he may run off if you pose too much a threat or have no heart to offer.]

[Smiles a bit more at that.]

I always have that look on my face nowadays.

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

It's a good look for you. You're a Riku, right?

[Takes it back, putting it in a small album already filled with photos he always carry around.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

Mhmm.

[He's surprised you had to ask.]

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

Just checking. That name sounds familiar and odd for some strange reason.

[Mostly because it belonged to a little kid in his time, but he doesn't remember that.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

You've probably heard it a lot in this place. There do tend to be a ton of us.

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

I mean.. when I arrived in this place I didn't had any memories. That name was one of the few that somehow made an impression of familiarity.

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

You probably knew a Riku back home as well then.

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

...if I did...

...why did all the Rikus I met call me Roxas then?

[why didn't they call him Ven?]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

Because you look like one. You're... not a Roxas?

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

[Shakes head]

No. My name's Ven.

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Thinks a moment.]

Maybe you did know a Riku, but he's not here yet. And you'll be able to tell because he'll know you're not a Roxas.

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

[or maybe he was a kid and he doesn't remember.]

Maybe. Still, it feels kind of weird.
