(no subject)

[ There's a fairly ordinary Riku exiting the kitchen with a sandwich hanging from his mouth and a bottle of juice in one hand. He's juggling it with a set of books, not even paying attention to what's going on around him -- he doesn't need to, to be honest, because he's navigating the halls like an expert. He does stop halfway down one, turning over his shoulder as he watches a pair of his own doubles walk past with obvious confusion. He's just full of mixed signals, isn't he?

Oh yeah. That heart of his? That might feel familiar. ]

[ Look, Riku! It's a very manly man™ walking by with a humongous Keyblade.

What could he be up to? ]

[Heartless hunting? He shifts the books and the juice, using his now-free hand to remove the sandwich. He's only going to watch which way Terra's going, for now.]

[ Hm?

... Stopping for a second. Someone can sense darkness! And, well, a strong heart. ]

[Oh well there's no end to those around here. Riku looks totally casual, just waiting to see what he does.]

[ He glances back for a second.

... And then he starts walking again. He needs to find Vanitas! D< ]

[Well, Riku knows when to keep quiet and when to speak up, especially when something is clearly not right with his situation.]

What are you looking for?

[ And he'll stop again. ]

I'm looking for a masked boy; his name is Vanitas.

I've heard the name, but...

[He's never actually talked like one, so he shakes his head.]

You haven't seen him.

[ Things keep getting more and more difficult for him... ]

[Welcome to the DR.]

No, and if I had, it probably wouldn't be the one you're looking for.

It doesn't matter at this point. If there really is more than one, then it's important that I find each of them quickly.

And what do you plan to do with them?

Whatever it takes to stop them.

[ He won't explain why, though. He's a man on a mission! ]

If you're planning on killing them, that won't work here.

[... He might as well take a bite of his sandwich.]

What?

[ "Kill" might be a bit strong. He's never really done that before, it's more... stopping them above all else, although that does confuse him. ]

Death isn't permanent here. Usually when someone dies, they just come back a few weeks later.

[Riku would like to know what he planned to do to stop them that didn't involve killing.]

That's impossible.

[ ...sigh. ]

Then again, I could say that about the rest of this place.

[A nod.]

You must be pretty new here, if you'd think that.

[ He nods right back. ]

I just got here today. It's a little overwhelming.

Oh, well... I'm guessing someone gave you the explanation.

[Please say someone did.]

Don't worry; it's already taken care of.

Good.

[He's really not in the mood to go into it right now.]

Look, I know it doesn't help to hear, but you'll get used to it.

Even if I do get used to it, I'd rather not stay here too long.

[Frowns at that.]

Not many people would.

Aqua told me that there's no way out. Has anyone ever left this world?
