[ There's a perfectly ordinary hallway that branches off from one of the main, leading to a downward staircase. If one were to walk down, they would notice how the walls and stairs themselves are decaying, changing as the steps go down from the regular floors and ordinary wood to stone. It leads down, not too far, to a long series of underground tunnels. Mostly man-made, but with natural formations as well. The sound of water running can be heard to the left and loud, scraping footsteps to the right. Which direction would you take? ]

[Looks like it's a Riku! She's alive, too, though maybe not conscious...]

[islandflower]

[She? Oh mannnn. Kairi scoots forward when she sees it's a Riku though, all previous fear gone. She's checking for a pulse, for visible injuries...]

[demitint]

[She! But since she's blindfolded, Kairi won't notice when her eyes open. She should notice when Riku reaches out to grab her hand, however.]

[islandflower]

[Eep! It makes her freeze and stare at Riku with wide eyes.]

...are you okay?

[demitint]

[She stares back up at her, as well as she can with her eyes covered, and then sits up straight and looks around.]

I'm fine. Where is it?

[islandflower]

Where's what? You're the first thing I've seen down here.

[Aside from the shadow, but it doesn't occur to her right now that if Riku fell from the ceiling, that couldn't have been her.]

[demitint]

The replica.

[She's tense, anticipating a fight at any moment.]

[islandflower]

Replica?

[She definitely hasn't seen any replicas around.]

[demitint]

Yeah. Just like I am right now. You didn't see anything?

[islandflower]

[She thinks for a moment.]

All I've seen so far aside from you was a shadow briefly.

[demitint]

[Riku frowns, then starts to pull herself up.]

Which direction?

[islandflower]

That way.

[Point! She stands as well, dusting herself off.]

Why were you chasing them?

[demitint]

[Riku turns in that direction, then starts heading that way.]

Because it's not real, and it tried to kill me.

[islandflower]

Oh.

[Hopefully Riku doesn't mind Kairi following. If nothing else, she can toss Riku potions or something in a fight.]

[demitint]

[She doesn't mind. She's taking off at a quick walk, though. She intends to find this thing.]

[islandflower]

...how dangerous is it?

[Because she's wondering if she should summon her Keyblade now instead of later.]

[demitint]

About as dangerous as I am, I guess.

[She shrugs.]

[islandflower]

I have no idea how dangerous you are.

[Oh well, they'll find out soon enough, probably.]

[demitint]

[That they will.]

How dangerous is your Riku?

[islandflower]

Very. Though I think he's a little older than you.

[demitint]

How old's that?

[Did you hear that cracking noise, Kairi? Like something just broke off of one of the walls, perhaps.]

[islandflower]

[She was about to respond, but she stops and listens after that noise instead.]

[demitint]

Kairi?

[She stops too, head turned in her direction.]

[islandflower]

...I thought I heard something.

[demitint]

[Riku goes still, head cocked to listen. It happens again, from the other side, and she turns toward it immediately.]
