[ the PCD clicks on to show a single aquamarine eye… at very close quarters. finally, it moves back a bit to reveal a face. silver eyebrows cut sharply above those green orbs, bangs falling into his face with the slight wind. ]

When I said I wanted to go to other worlds, this wasn't what I expected. [ he hisses and holds a hand to his head,

Riku?

[FUCK YES DISTRACTION~!]

[raftatsea]

[ BUT PUBLIC HUMILIATION IS GOOD FOR YOU!

and wait. weird person knows his name. ]

... Do I know you?

[sauceytomato]

[SHUSH NO IT'S NOT.]

Uh... Your older self did.

1/2

[raftatsea]

[ this face. forever. ]

[marsfireignite]

Other worlds, huh? You're getting it faster than most new people around here.

[Video]

[raftatsea]

When it's kind of something you've been looking forward to all your life... yeah. Another world was kind of what I was aiming for.

So what is this place?

[Video]

[marsfireignite]

It's called Adstringendum. It's run by spirits, called the Animus. They pull people out of their worlds and drop them here.

[Video]

[raftatsea]

Then they didn't have to work that hard to get me. [ more like just needed to pick him out of that in-between space. but anyway ] I don't really pray anymore, if that's what the "spirits" want.

[Video]

[chaserprongs]

Oh, I like you.

Welcome to Adstringendum, kid. And how much better the bright side gets all depends on you, really.

[Video]

[raftatsea]

Meaning this is probably one of those worlds with no running water or anything, huh?

Great.

Tell me there's at least monsters or something to fight here.

[Video]

[chaserprongs]

There's running water in some places, but not the entire city, no.

[Kid's pretty clever. Hm.]

In the Wastes, but they're a little big for a kid like you, don't you think?

[Video]

[raftatsea]

So long as there's something to fight, I can live.

[ aaaalright. all he needs now... is a giant stick. which he's looking around for. better to be prepared if there really are beasts lurking about. ]

If I'm here, then I'm big enough. [ snorts and rolls his eyes ] It's not like you can get stronger by playing it safe.

[Voice] Fuck it, I'll give you one more.

[innerfirewithin]

[Sasuke knows who you are, which means you're slightly more interesting than half of the people around here.]

There isn't anyone named Sora or Kairi here.

[Voice] 8D Zuko's always welcome to emo up a party!

[raftatsea]

Well, I didn't expect any locals to know them. They left at the same time I did, after all.

[ he's speaking like he knows everything ever, by the way ]

[Voice] WELL THE PARTY DON'T START 'TILL I WALK INNNNNN

[innerfirewithin]

[Which makes Riku automatically annoying.]

We're not locals.

[Voice] BUT BRUSHING WITH ALCOHOL WILL ROT YOUR TEETH!

[raftatsea]

[ not annoying, just... okay. annoying. ]

Then what are you.

[ he was told world traveling was an extremely rare thing, after all! ]

[Video] Now with less memory fail from the mun!

[taichou_tb]

[Wait, this kid looks kind of familiar...]

You know Sora?

[Video] XD no problem!

[raftatsea]

Yeah, he was kind of just with me a second ago.

Why?

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

He and I have met before.

In this place, not either of our worlds. You're in a place called Adstringendum now.

[Video]

[raftatsea]

So I've heard. Inescapable, run by spirits, I think I've been given the whole "guided tour" already.

[ a frustrated sigh. he reeeaaally doesn't like the fact that he's stuck in yet another world ]

... Was it when I was "here before", or did we really get separated that badly?
