[Sora looks like he’s had a fist fight with a loaded paintbrush. White smears of paint are streaked down his cheek, all over his jacket and gloves. One of those paint-smudged fingers happens to be tapping the screen experimentally-probably what triggered the message to start.]

So all I gotta do is turn this thing on and ask everybody if they’ve seen

I know who Riku is! He's definitely here.

[lockandkeyblade]

You do?

[Well, he can't say he wants Riku to be stuck in Siren's Port too. But he's still kind of glad. Maybe they can both figure out a way out of here together.]

You a friend of his?

[quackery]

Well, we've only talked a few times... But I think so!

[lockandkeyblade]

We've known each other since we were kids.

I've gotta find him and make sure he's all right. Did he seem okay last time you talked to him?

[quackery]

Since you were kids? You must be really good friends!

[The last time she talked to him? ...Not at all.]

Yeah, he looked fine!

[lockandkeyblade]

Best friends. Me and Riku- We've been through a lot together.

Well, that's a relief. I'm Sora by the way. Thanks for letting me know he was here. Seems like a lot of my friends are being brought here for some reason.

My name's Ahiru!

Who else here is your friend?

[lockandkeyblade]

A lot of people here know Riku and Kairi. But I've also run into Tifa. Have you met her too?

I'm also looking for Donald and Goofy. One's this reaaallly tall guy with long ears and a long nose. And the other ones all short with white feathers and webbed feet.

[He could say a 'duck and dog', but he's been around them for so long and on so many different worlds, he kind of forgets people don't usually run into talking animals.]

[quackery]

W-White feathers and webbed feet? You know somebody like that?

video; =u=

[lockandkeyblade]

Yeah. Sometimes he'd change and look really different when we went to new places, but that's what he looked like most of the time.

Why do you ask? Have you seem em'?

video;

[quackery]

He looked different sometimes? How?

Oh, no, I don't know anybody like that! It just seemed kind of, um, weird, is all.

video;

[lockandkeyblade]

[Hmm. Seems like a lot of people are used to magic and powers around here, so he sees no harm in explaining.]

Sometimes in order to help people we had to blend in. That meant turning into other things. Sometimes Donald was a duck. And sometimes he wasn't. Know what I mean?

You okay over there?

video;

[quackery]

What else was he?

U-Uh, yeah, I'm fine! It's just sort of surprising! I mean, people don't really walk around with ducks a lot of the time...

video;

[lockandkeyblade]

Sure they do. I mean, I do at least.

You know, none of my friends back home thought it was really weird either...

video;

[quackery]

None of them thought it was weird?

[lockandkeyblade]

Well yeah! A bunch of my friends were animals too.

I mean the His Majesty and the Queen were mice. Besides Donald, there was Daisy Duck. Then there was Clarabelle Cow and Clara Cluck and Horace Horsecollar too.

After a while you get kinda used to it.
