[There's an unfamiliar girl laying unconscious in the middle of a street. She looks to be about ten years old, dressed in a grey tank top with another - this one black, navy, and yellow - wrapped over top and tied in place with a light blue rope belt. Her pants are worn, a deep red in colour, and tucked into a pair of brown boots quite similar to the kind a pirate sea-going traveler might wear. Her boots seem coated in drying sea water, though she's not really anywhere near the beach. A wooden sword, much better made than the ones Destiny Islands inhabitants may be familiar with, lays a couple feet away from her hand.]



(ooc: Brief info in profile, future folks will not recognize her as she's from an alt timeline.)

[He looks quietly amused. It's interesting, finding a sister that really isn't his but at the same time is... well, he's always considered himself one of a kind. There couldn't possibly be another combination like his bloodline, could there?]

So. Looks like you take after mom.

[ghastlydawn]

I guess so. Are you like dad?

[Because that would be silly, but expected, honestly.]

[hallowedshore]

More than mom, I'd say.

[He shrugs a shoulder. Who knows, really.]

[ghastlydawn]

Can you regrow things?

[She looks so interested. When she first found out about that, she almost wanted to try it herself.]

[hallowedshore]

[That was random.]

Probably not.

[ghastlydawn]

Aww.

[She droops a little. It would be so cool to know for sure that it was inheritable without chopping something off herself!]

[hallowedshore]

[He does not want to encourage limb loss in possible sisters, sorry.]

Disappointed?

[ghastlydawn]

A little! It's pretty cool, even if mom doesn't like it.

[Mostly because it requires Red losing a limb in the first place amirite.]

[hallowedshore]

[Of course.]

Better than not having the ability.

[This is weird, having someone who knows his parents that well -- or, well, an alternate version of his parents. It's not a bad kind of weird, though.]

[ghastlydawn]

I guess so.

[No kidding! It'll take some getting used to, that's for sure.]

[hallowedshore]

I think she'd like it less if he didn't. Unless your parents are luckier than mine in the injury department.

[His tone suggests that he severely doubts it.]

[ghastlydawn]

Probably not.

[They wouldn't really be Riku and Red otherwise--]

[hallowedshore]

I figured not.

[Exactly his point.]

[ghastlydawn]

So... what now?

[She has no idea what to do. If she's in a different time, she can't exactly go home...]

[hallowedshore]

Well I'd show you around but since you already know the place...

[Hmm.]

Oh, I guess you might be in the past, so you know. There are younger versions of my parents here. Or your parents. Now I'm not so sure.

[ghastlydawn]

That must be really strange... what are they like? Have you talked to them?

[hallowedshore]

Talked to dad.

[He cracks a grin.]

Early twenties. Bit more tense. With age comes wisdom and all that. Haven't tried mom, yet. Not sure she could handle it.

[ghastlydawn]

I wonder if it'd be bad to talk to them...

[Curiosity of a ten year old, check.]

[hallowedshore]

You might not like what you hear, but I doubt it would make you disappear or anything. Probably just shoot off another timeline difference.

[Oh, suddenly everything makes more sense.]

[ghastlydawn]

Like us?

[Put so clearly, their situation is really obvious, huh.]

[hallowedshore]

[It is. Just another day in the DR!]

Yeah, like us.

[ghastlydawn]

...what if talking to them makes another kid show up?

[And then they had like ten alternate siblings.]

[hallowedshore]

[He stops to consider that.]

This could be fun.

[ghastlydawn]

I don't want to mess everything up too bad.

[hallowedshore]

Worst case scenario you make a dozen alternate universes?

[He thinks it would be funny.]
