[ Standing outside the nearest shopping district is a Riku, just feet away from the local pet store. She had been eying the display of cute and furry animals sleeping in the window, but something else caught her attention. A notice board that looks fairly out of place, made of a wood in warm, golden tones with red ribbon strung around the posts. There's a faintly glowing white feather balanced on a short shelf, and a bottle of golden ink.

At the top of the board reads: What is your Christmas wish? ]

Rikuuuu!

[guess who's running toward you now. not like it's hard to guess, considering how many girl Soras there are around!]

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

[GEE I WONDER. She turns, already smiling, because of course she recognizes who it is gosh who do you take her for-]

Hey, Sora.

[skybright]

[idk man. she slows as she gets closer, sending a curious look at the shop window.]

Are you getting a pet?

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

Nnnno. I was just looking at them.

[The puppies have sickeningly adorable red bows tied carefully on them. Well, some of them. A couple have already shredded their bows.]

[skybright]

Oh.

[a-aw. if Sora thought she was capable of taking care of a pet at all she'd totally have one.]

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

[Aren't they cuuuute? They certainly appear to be well taken care of, too, despite no one actually working at the pet store.]

You should check it out inside. It's kind of insane how many animals there are.

[skybright]

Nooo, I'd end up coming out with ten things.

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

You don't have enough hands.

[She's smirking so much.]

[skybright]

I'd find a way.

[rikuonehalf]

[Hello Riku. There's another Riku coming up behind you. He was going to see the animals, but his female counterpart and whatever she happens to be looking at seems more interesting at the moment.]

Hey. What's that?

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

Not sure. Here.

[She steps to the side so he can see it as well. There are a number of things already written on the board.]

[rikuonehalf]

[He moves closer, reading the top of the board, then some of the things already written.]

'Christmas wish'? Who wants to know?

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

Beats me. I didn't see who put it up here.

[They're all in the same golden ink, but obviously different people writing. Some kid wants a toy; someone wants their friends to be safe; someone wants things to 'stay as they are'; someone wants to someone else, and someone wants to be in control. Someone, probably a Kairi, wants everyone in the DR to be safe and happy, and for no more fights. At the bottom of the list, someone else wants to stop hiding.]

[rikuonehalf]

I wonder if they'll actually try to grant whatever wishes are written here. Have you written anything?

[He's tempted to write something, just to see if anything happens.]

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

No.

[She shrugs, looking from the board to him.]

Planning on testing it?

[rikuonehalf]

I'm still trying to figure out how this place works. I'm not sure if I trust it.

[He does look like he's considering it though.]

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

That's probably the best route you can take.

[frisbeeoflight.livejournal.com]

[so first he's going to Master and then he suddenly finds himself in this strange place again... and what's with all this?] What's Christmas? And why am I not home again?

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

[Riku looks a little startled by his appearance, but she stays where she is and just looks over at him. 'sup.]

What?

[frisbeeoflight.livejournal.com]

Geez, I asked what's Christmas. Hey, did you know that you look a bit like Riku?

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

... I'm his big sister.

[How to test how gullible Leas are.]

[frisbeeoflight.livejournal.com]

[he's very overwhelmed right now, so he just might believe that. give him a minute] If you are, then... were you travelling? Cause I've never seen you or heard of you. Wow, have you been to other worlds or what?

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

[She waits a beat, then snorts.]

Plenty. But I'm lying. I'm not his sister.

[frisbeeoflight.livejournal.com]

[geez. the minus of having only light, not that he knows it, is that he can't get too angry. but he can still pout] Geez, who said I believed you, anyway. You're probably just from some bizarro world, right? I think I'm starting to remember how this place works.

[blindlyfollows.livejournal.com]

I'm from my world, and in that world I'm the only Riku.

[She crosses her arms.]

Have you been here before?
