[Waking up in a strange, new world is nothing new to Riku. After all, it happened when the islands disappeared into darkness. However, he didn't end up enrolled in a military academy back then. So, needless to say, this whole situation is different and a little overwhelming

Action;

[feedmyglitch]

[Well.

This is awkward.

The cafeteria. And this situation seems far too familiar. Just like with Leon, but this time? It's another Riku. A younger one, resembling the Journal far more. This could mean one of two things: he has someone to manipulate, or a certain King in a boy's body has arrived. ...He's leaning on the King. So he's going to try and shrink down into his little corner, where he's been devouring emotions from. Hopefully, "Riku" won't notice him.

Unfortunately, he sticks out like a sore thumb.]

Action;

[chosenwielder]

[Is that a Heartless...?

Nevermind his food. Riku's going to quietly move away from the table and approach Ardos. Something isn't right here.]

[feedmyglitch]

[Yes, Riku. It is. And he's starting to panic. Because, crap, he's been noticed. Why are emotions such a hindrance? He'll get up, trying to casually walk all the way around the tables to avoid Riku on his way out.]

[chosenwielder]

[A Heartless that looks like...

Nope, not letting this one out of his sight. This is relevant to his interests.]

[feedmyglitch]

[Still trying to escape, and speeding up his walking just a bit. If Riku doesn't do something, Ardos might just escape.]

[chosenwielder]

Hey.

[Calling attention to you, Heartless. He's curious, cautious, and hopeful all at once...]

[feedmyglitch]

[He'll freeze. And then, slowly, look over his shoulder.]

Do you require assistance?

[It's cold, the voice similar to Sora's but different. More computerized and slightly deeper with a lower tone.]

[chosenwielder]

I just want to know who you are.

[It talks. That means it can at least think. Hopefully.

That voice is hella creepy, though.]

[feedmyglitch]

My designation is Ardos. Who are you?

[He doesn't care about how creepy it sounds. It's how he sounds. And yes, he's quite intelligent.]

[chosenwielder]

Ardos, huh?

[Great. Just great.]

It's Riku. You don't recognize me?

[feedmyglitch]

Not in the way you'd think I would, most likely.

[Really, he's not sure what to make of this Riku. At least it is Riku, it would seem, and not Ansem.]

[chosenwielder]

Try me.

[Looks like Sora, but... clearly isn't. That's relevant to his interests.]

[feedmyglitch]

I am the entry on Sora's Heartless contained within Jiminy's Journal. The data, as you would, on him, as well as countless other Heartless and glitches that I have devoured.

[Simple enough, yes?]

[chosenwielder]

...

[What?]

How can you be a journal entry? That doesn't even add up.

[feedmyglitch]

A few silly chipmunks and a witch decided to mess with the data contained within the journal. By giving the Sora there sentience, I, too, achieved this. And then I began to devour the data released when Heartless were eliminated and glitches destroyed.

[It's Kingdom Hearts, Keyku. You will learn not to question things.]

[chosenwielder]

[...A living Sora in the journal and chipmunks and what?

Man, even after everything he's seen, that's a lot to take in.]

And you're not making this up.
