[voice only]

[biggestnobody]

[There are sounds of shuffling and fumbling and a door closing, followed by the soft sound of a pouch? Cloth covering something, at the very least. There's no fumbling with the Forge, and video's deliberately turned off. The speaker's voice is soft, somewhat young sounding but only somewhat. He's not an adult yet, and not a child

{voice; leave it to Sora to state the obvious}

[fightswithkeys]

[And there's the sound of fumbling as the forge is turned on, because there's no world out there where Sora won't recognize that voice.]

Riku! You're here!

[Voice]

[biggestnobody]

[Riku would say otherwise, really. He'd been right in front of Sora once before and Sora could barely recognize him...

But that's neither here or there, and Riku's just plain relieved]

Sora? Guess you're here too.

{voice;}

[fightswithkeys]

[He had looked and sounded like a nobody then. A nobody who had tried to kill him.

But now Sora was glad, despite the dangers of this world. He knew Riku could handle himself, and it was a relief to know he wasn't alone anymore.]

You woke up here too? Was Kairi with you?

[Voice only until I say so.]

[biggestnobody]

[Heartless. Ansem was a Heartless. Riku was in that form wearing the Organization's coat. He's pretty sure he wasn't a Nobody.

The question would be: Was Sora alone? He was hopeless without them.]

That's right. But I woke up alone. I guess she's not with you? Where are you? Who's with you?

{same idea here.}

[fightswithkeys]

{Sora was alone. And he'd argue that he wasn't hopeless. He just... functioned better when they were around.}

She isn't. Maybe she's still back on the islands. I haven't seen her anywhere.

I'm by myself, in the library. Where're you? I'll come find you.

[biggestnobody]

She'll be really angry. [sigh here]

Library. I think I've passed by it. ... I'm in a room. Somewhere. I'll meet you instead.

[there's the sound of the door opening and closing]

[fightswithkeys]

That we left her behind again? Probably. Oh boy...

Hey, hold on! I'm not just gonna wait for you. I can meet you half-way. [And you can hear him scrambling to his feet and exiting the building.]

[biggestnobody]

[he's laughing by now, and taking off in a run]

Do you even know where I'm coming from? Just stay there, don't leave the building, I'll be there soon.

[fightswithkeys]

[And now he's out in the middle of the street, peering down both ends of it as if debating which way to go.]

I'm not that bad at directions. Besides, I think I can hear you. [There's a pause, and then the sound of growling that definitely wasn't Sora.] Oh... kay. I don't think this is you, Riku!

[There's the muffled sound as the forge is tossed in Sora's pocket, and some muffled rustling, as he summoned his keyblade]
