First Wave, Audio, Day 18 Evening

[oceanic_lullaby]

[It’s an audio feed that clicks on, but the owner of the phone doesn’t seem to be aware of it right away. At first there’s just the sound of the waves, scrabbling like boots over rocks, and uneven breathing.]

H-hey, is anyone out there? Is this some kind of practical joke-because I’ve never even heard of a Kernos company before-or…or is this what

[Riku will just... stare as he listens to this audio feed.]

...You got to be kidding me.

[First that girl, then Roxas and now this guy? As far as Organization members to be stranded on weird islands with go, it's not that bad - it could have been Xemnas after all - but Riku sees a pattern there and he doesn't like it.]

It's not the underworld, but the place gets dark enough after nightfall.

[He's startled when the phone alerts him of the incoming text, and he maybe fumbles it and almost drops it, but it's all good, he's got it. He'd also feel silly talking to his phone to answer a text, so he's going to text back.]

well thats a relief. what is this place then?

Supposedly it's Kernos' testing grounds for a video game, which we have been 'invited' to play.

Of course, considering that the company does not deem it necessary to contact us outside the initial arrival note and mission assignments and never stays around for questions, it's hard to say whether that is really true or not.

missions?

[That was...really the part that caught his attention the most. Missions mean work, after all.]

Missions. Taking part is the requirement to gain so called exit tokens. In theory, four of those should enable one to leave this world.

[Sounds like work though.]

[dawns_knight]

Of course.

Do you have any other questions?

[text]

[oceanic_lullaby]

yeah. who'm i talking to?

[Because he's curious. And texts from who knows...who, is kind of creepy. Kind of similar to the feeling of being watched.]

'Somebody.'

[Sorry Demyx, but it's not quite that easy.]
