[those who wander out near the plaza this dreary evening might stumble upon a small gaggle of bizarre, twitchy blue monsters-- they're climbing all over the fountain, darting back and forth across the ground, and swiping at anything that might inch too close, including each other

[...Vanitas, that's just sad. So sad Riku shakes his head and walks right up to him.]

Didn't think I'd see you out here. Aren't you under "house arrest"?

[soracles]

House arrest? Why would I be under house-- Riku?

[stilldontgotit]

... Oh c'mon.

[He puts his hands on his hips.]

You really think that's gonna work, Vanitas?

[soracles]

What?? I'm not Vanitas!

[he is downright insulted, biffle.]

[stilldontgotit]

[Riku raises a brow and remains silent for a few moments. What does he even...?

Sigh.]

Don't tell me you're Sora...

[soracles]

Who else would I be other than him, Riku?

[stilldontgotit]

... You look just like him, Sora. Suit and all.

[That's why he was confused.]

[soracles]

[... Sora just starts at first, then lets out a helpless laugh. this is the third time the Malnosso have sent him back not quite himself, why should this be any surprise at all?]

[and, to lighten the mood-- it's all he can think to do:] Might explain why these clothes are so uncomfortable.

[stilldontgotit]

I'd take you back home, but I've got a feeling it won't work.

[He sighs. If there was one time that protection spell was more harm than help...]

[soracles]

It's all right, I bet I could stay with Ven until this wears off.

[stilldontgotit]

Not a bad idea. Terra's over there too, so you should be fine.

[soracles]

Yeah. Hey, you haven't seen... me around anywhere, right?

[stilldontgotit]

Back in the hou--

[...oh crap.]

Vanitas was there the whole time.
