[Since his arrival in the Dressing Room, this Riku's been on the hunt for anything and everything that could provide information on his and Maleficent's current whereabouts. And not just that-- a way out, so he can get back to Kairi.

But what doesn't add up is all of the doubles, the endless rooms, and what lies in said rooms. Naturally, he doesn't buy anything he's seen so far; it has to be a trick.

It might be a good idea to inform him that this is very real before he finds anything too extreme.]

[Don't be so skeptical, you silly boy.]

...Are you looking for something?

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

[... Is that?

He stops to look at her for a moment, but-- no, it can't be. Must be another trick.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt.]

Well?

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

Who are you?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

Kairi. You've seen others around, haven't you?

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

[... No way. She just can't be.]

Nice try, but you're not fooling anyone. I know Kairi better than anyone else, and there's no way you could be her.

[Sora knows her well, too, but given his current views on Sora? No way is he going to admit that.]

Besides, even if you were her, there's no way you'd be awake.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

...Of course I'm not your Kairi. She might be around here somewhere else.

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about? There's only one Kairi.

[Deadpan look. He still has a lot to learn.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

You must be new.

[She smiles politely at that. Poor new kids, always so baffled.]

There are a lot of Kairis in here, actually. And a lot of you.

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I find that hard to believe.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Extreme like a room full of melting clocks? Because that's what's behind this door. It also contains one (1) interested Larxene and her daughter.]

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

[...Melting clocks. Okay, that's enough to get his attention, at least briefly.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[you've been noticed, Riku!]

Pretty trippy, isn't it?

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

That's putting it lightly.

[Hrmph.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

The next room over is a giant ball pit.

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

... Right.

[He shakes his head.]

That's nice and all, but I don't have time to play around.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

You don't believe me?

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

Even if I did, what do you take me for? A kid?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah.

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

[Eyeroll.]

I've got better things to do than mess around.

[noprisoner.livejournal.com]

[ ...a Riku deep in darkness. maybe he'd be useful... there's a pale girl quietly approaching you, Riku. ]

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

[...Hmmm. Fine then. He'll let her approach.]

[noprisoner.livejournal.com]

[ odd how she seems to faintly resemble Kairi, huh? she stops a little ways away, no sign of her ideas present in her innocent expression. ]

Are you... is there something you're looking for?

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

[...She can't be Kairi. None of the girls he's seen so far can be. There's just no way.]

And if there is?

[noprisoner.livejournal.com]

Ah... I've been here a few months now. Maybe I can help?

[ there's a tentative, almost nervous smile she's offering there. ]

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

[Months, huh?]

I don't need anyone's help.

[noprisoner.livejournal.com]

Oh...

[ she tries not to look... disappointed, almost shrinking in on herself at the answer. ]

Alright. Sorry for bothering you.

[ come onnnn, work with me here, guilt. ]

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

[...Noooo. Not the guilt! It buuurns.

...]

Fine. Just tell me what you know.

[noprisoner.livejournal.com]

About what? This place...?

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

What else?

[noprisoner.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure how much you already knew.

[fearsnodarkness.livejournal.com]

Well, c'mon. What's the holdup?

[noprisoner.livejournal.com]

[ she frowns very faintly at his attitude, but looks away. ]

This place is... some sort of magical nexus. There are people brought in from not only different worlds, but times and universes, too... so there are a lot of doubles of some people, and they're all- real.
