001: Arrival [Accidental Video]

[notyourdouble]

[There's some beeping, and then something appears on the screen - a face, it looks like, though it's a little too close to the face to really see for sure just who it could be. The camera swivels around awkwardly like the user isn't aware that it's on as he or she turns the device over trying to figure out how it works

[...What the--. Okay, um, this guy looks like Riku. Almost too much so but it can't be cause he looks younger and he doesn't know what a dreamberry is. So, does that mean he got younger? He's never heard of someone only de-aging by a few years though]

It's called a Dreamberry.

[notyourdouble]

wha-

[staring at the screen dubiously now]

Ch. What a dumb name.

[13thkey]

I guess... Um, who are you?

[notyourdouble]

[there's a long pause. No one's ever asked him that before. He knew what he was, and he knew who he wasn't.]

...I'm not Riku.

[13thkey]

[He was definitely not expecting that response but still that means he's not his younger version. This was pretty weird but there have been weirder in this place.]

What's your name then?

[notyourdouble]

...[blinks. Name? He was only ever called 'the replica' or 'copy' or some variation thereof]

I'm just a replica. I don't have a name. But I'm not Riku.

[13thkey]

[...That explains a few things and by the looks of it, he doesn't like Riku, if at all.]

What do you want to be called?

[notyourdouble]

...Tch. It doesn't matter.

[13thkey]

[This would take time getting used to]

... I'm Roxas and welcome to Somarium, a dream world.

[notyourdouble]

[You and him both. But he will need a name sometime. He's just difficult by default]

Roxas... [come to it, there was something sort of familiar about Roxas. But he didn't dwell on it]

Dream world? What's that supposed to mean?

[13thkey]

It's a world that's supposedly only accessible through falling asleep, being unconscious or dying, so people tend to call it a dream world.

[notyourdouble]

...hahahaha, I must be dead after all.

[13thkey]

[A bit of silence on his part. Since he'd never heard of him then that might be so. Still didn't explain a few things but he'd get to that later.]

Do you remember dying?

[notyourdouble]

[a fading sky, out in the forest, and words words words...]

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

[13thkey]

... I see. Anyway, some things you should know are that the Dreamberry is able to record and broadcast the dreams of those that are here.
