[There's something seriously ironic when your friends get kidnapped again and again and you yourself have not... in almost two years.

So, today, as Riku flips through the journal, he takes a moment to speak.]You know, I've been here for almost two years, and I've never been kidnapped. It's happened to my friends a few times, probably most of the

[A while after Riku starts using the corridors, he might notice that someone's playing 'tag' with him. Though it's really more like he's being followed.]

[ooc: Since Vanitas hasn't located his helmet yet there'll be SPOILERS within. I'll keep using a generic icon until the threads collapse.]

[action]

[stilldontgotit]

[Eventually, he'll catch on, immediately turning around. Riku's not a fan of being stalked.]

[action]

[vanityunbcoming]

[Surprise, surprise! Vanitas is standing just a few yards behind him.]

Is this your cry for attention?

[He might've run across Riku's journal post earlier, too.]

[action]

[stilldontgotit]

[Vanitas. If looks could kill...]

It's got nothing to do with attention.

[action]

[vanityunbcoming]

[...Then he would've been six feet under a long time ago.]

It got mine. Who knows, it might do the trick as far as your curiosity goes.

[stilldontgotit]

There something you want?

[He sighs, placing his hands on his hips.]

[action]

[vanityunbcoming]

[Not really; mostly he's just bored. Not that he'll say that out loud.]

Just wondering if you feel left out.

[action]

[stilldontgotit]

Left out?

[...So he saw.]

Who'd want to get kidnapped?

[action]

[vanityunbcoming]

Nobody in their right mind. So what's your story?

[They haven't had a chance to 'sit down and talk', after all.]

[action]

[stilldontgotit]

My story?

[He puts his hand on his hip.]

Depends on what you want to know.

[action]

[vanityunbcoming]

[Alright, maybe that was the wrong way to put it. He's not looking for an actual biography of Riku's life--that'd bore him to tears.]

Well, for starters. Do you really think it's a coincidence that your friends get kidnapped, and you don't?

[action]

[stilldontgotit]

It probably is. Or maybe the Malnosso just overlooked me somehow.

[Gonna have to try harder, Vantias.]

[action]

[vanityunbcoming]

They aren't that flaky.

We both know the real answer: you just aren't that interesting to them.

[action]

[stilldontgotit]

Oh, great. Now you're breaking my heart.

[He rolls his eyes.]

Doesn't matter if I'm "interesting" or not.
